by the manufacturer or the authorized representative may be supplied in only one Community
language which the specialized personnel understand.
The instructions shall indicate the type and frequency of inspections and maintenance required for
safe operation including the preventive maintenance measures.
GENERAL DANGER WARNINGS AND PREVENTIVE SAFETY
According to the VDE 0113 booklet, the emergency stop devices must also be perfectly efficient
regardless of the gearmotor operation mode. Any release of the emergency stop device must not
cause an uncontrolled or undefined restarting.
OVERTURNING MOMENT: The fall of the balanced door wings by weights can be avoided if the
gearmotor is still able to support the wing weight even if the spring breaks.
This provision is based on the regulations of the National Insurance Institute for Industrial Accidents
BGR 232. The static overturning moment is the maximum load allowed for the mechanism at the
time the spring breaks. The Mstat static overturning moment is calculated with the following
formula:
Mstat [Nm] = Wing weight [N] × cable winder drum radius [m] Considering that two balancing springs
can yield at the same time, the Commission of experts about building devices recommends sizing the
gearmotor so that it is able to support
- the total weight of the wing when there are one or two springs
- 2/3 of the weight of the wing when there are three springs
- 1/2 of the weight of the wing when there are four springs.
Pursuant to the directives mentioned above, the considerably greater gearmotor breaking load is not
to be contemplated in defining the gearmotor sizing. In the case of cable winder drums of the scalar
type, the greater winding diameter is to be considered.
Consider the allowed forces of the cables!
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS / FIXING THE MECHANISM
Clutch gearmotor
The gearmotor is to be pushed not too forcefully on the relevant part of the previously greased
flexible shaft.
The key (tab) is to be blocked on the through seat of the shaft with 1 screw (or, as an alternative,
with a fixing ring) to prevent accidental movement (Fig. 1).
There are fixing holes (on the bracket) o secure the support (bracket) to the reduction unit flange.
Precise fixing of the support (bracket) is specified in the instructions of the main door (Fig. 2).
Fixing must be performed using 4 M 8x12 screws and the washers supplied. Tightening torque must
be 20 Nm. The support is to be secured on the building side with 2 8/M10 screws.

EMERGENCY MANUAL RELEASES
The manual emergency release is envisaged for opening and closing the door in case of power
failure, so it is to be used only in emergency situations.
- Avoid regular use!!
Warning! Danger of injury in the case of incorrect use!
- Deactivate the main switch before using the manual emergency release.
- The manual emergency release is to be executed only with the motor stopped.
- The manual emergency release maneuver is to be executed from a safe place.
- With a gearmotor equipped with brake (pressure), the main door must be opened and closed with
the brake open (released).
- On doors not balanced with weights, the brake is to be released only for checking purposes with the
door in the low position for safety reasons.
- An undesirable brake release must be prevented with an adequate check (measurement) on site.
The manual emergency release must not move the door beyond the final positions because in this
case the main switch would activate.
Therefore, operation of the door in electrical mode is no longer possible. Handle-operated manual
emergency release (fig. 3)
- Insert the handle exerting moderate pressure, then turn it up to when it clicks in position. In this
way the control voltage is interrupted and the door can no longer be activated electrically.
- Open and/or close the door turning the handle
- The control voltage is reset and the door can again be activated electrically by removing the handle.
Manual chain-operated emergency release (fig. 4 and 9)
- Movement to the right or left activates a microswitch that will cut out the voltage going to the
reduction unit, afterwards the main door can be opened or closed by pulling the chain.
- After releasing the chain, the voltage will be restored and the reduction unit will once again be
operational. Average duration: 200 cycles! Manual chain-operated emergency release 2 (fig. 5a-d)
- Grasp the red handle / manual control (1) and softly pull until stopping to interrupt the control
voltage, and therefore prevent activation of the door in electric mode.
- Open and/or close the door with the emergency release chain (2)
- Grasp the green handle /motor control (3) and softly pull until stopping to restore the control
voltage, and therefore once again consent operation of the door in electric mode.
Average duration: 350 cycles! Interlocking release (fig. 6)
- Pull the red cable to release the gearmotor.
- Manually move the door upwards or downwards.
- Pull the green cable to once again lock the gearmotor.
Modification of the length of the emergency release chain (fig. 7)
- The emergency release chain opens in the connection point and therefore can be extended or
shortened by adding or removing links.
- The links must be carefully bent.
- When the emergency release chain length is modified, it is necessary to pay attention
WARNING: Max. chain length: 14 meters - max. assembly height 8 m!!!
NOTE: with chains having lengths min. 15 meters it is necessary to use the “2” chain release.

LIMIT SWITCH SETTING
The door must be balanced in all positions when assembling and balancing with the weights
according to the procedures prescribed by the standards. Correct balancing is ascertained by
manually opening and closing the door with identical activation force in both directions.
The Evotronix magnetic limit switch is a positioning switch with absolute value for rolling shutters,
doors and main doors. The assessment, or setting, of the final positions is carried out with
gearmotors for doors.
During assembly simply insert the six-pole plug. Mechanical settings and positionings are not needed.
The terminals for the safety chain (safety switch) are respectively located on the Evotronix magnetic
limit switch. See following picture:

STAR/DELTA VOLTAGE CONNECTION
Warning! Danger of death due to electric shock.
Before starting the assembly operations, exclude the voltage from the conductors and check that
they are equal to zero.
The commutability of the motor voltage makes it possible to use the gearmotor on both a 3 x 400 V
and 3 x 230 V power grid.
The motor is wired in the factory with star connection for a 3 x 400 V power grid.
For connection to a 230 V power grid, switch the motor onto a delta connection.
To commute the voltage onto the motor, wire the ends of the windings as illustrated in fig. 13-16.
When fixing the motor cables, pay attention that the cables are long enough to consent solid fixing,
to create a connection able to remain secure over time.
Pull the conductors to check if the connection is secure.
When switching over the motor for connection to a 3 x 230 V power grid, it is necessary to also adjust
the gearmotor.
3x 230V 3x 400V (default)
ANNUAL CHECK
BGR 232 directive “Windows, doors and main doors with mechanical operation” is applied. It can be
obtained from the National Insurance Institute for Industrial Accidents of your trade association or

Information for whoever carries out the checks
Gearmotor:
The mechanism is maintenance free and it is provided with permanent lubrication. Absolutely no rust
must form on the output shaft.
Fixings:
Make sure that the fixing screws are all in the correct position and in perfect condition.
Balancing by weights (e.g. in the sectional main doors):
The door must be balanced in all the positions (see the door assembly instructions) when balancing is
done with weights according to the procedures prescribed by the standards.
Brake (if present):
During the annual check perfect brake operation is to be ascertained.
In the case of heavy wear of the brake pads, it is necessary to replace the complete brake. Before
replacement, disconnect the cables connected to the electric card.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
NOTE: all the technical characteristics indicated refer to a temperature falling between -5°C and
+40°C. • DAS reserves the right to change all the modifications to the product it deems necessary at
any time but keeping the functions and intended use unaltered.
We recommend using 20 rpm gearmotors for doors with vertical movement with conical cable
winder drum.
For non-balanced sectional doors, we recommend using RDF series gearmotors with parachute
device.
When assembling gearmotors with 31.75 mm diameter shaft from the left, the tab is to be blocked
only with a shoulder collar because fixing with a screw could break the shaft.
