5.5 Setting the end positions
Limit switch: Setting screws
Actuate with setting aid (131163801)
To actuate the limit switch setting screws, use the setting
aid or a Phillips-tip or hexagon socket tool, but never a
power screwdriver.
►6 turns of one of the two limit switch settings crews "UP"
and "DOWN" cause 1 turn of the winding shaft (motor
shaft).
►The maximum limit switch range between the upper and
lower end positions is 32 turns of the motor shaft.
►The assignment of the upper or lower limit switch setting
screw to the upper or lower end position results from the
respective installation situation (right-hand or left-hand
installation) with the corresponding assignment of the
electrical connections for the running direction.
►Turn one limit switch setting screw
from - (minus) to + (plus) to increase the running path
of the application.
►Turn one limit switch setting screw
from + (plus) to - (minus) to reduce the running path
of the application.
Setting the upper end position
(general setting and ne adjustment)
1 Switch on the drive in direction downwards until the
drive switches off at the bottom end point (lower end
of the running path reached)..
2Attach the application to the winding shaft.
3Let the drive run up by pushing the UP button until
it switches off at the upper end point (for small win-
dows, stop rst by pushing the switch if necessary.
4Turn the limit switch setting screw "Top" in the +
(plus) direction or - (minus) direction until you have
reached the nal end position.
5Adjust the upper end position setting with enough
