3 INSTALLING THE AUTOMATED SYSTEM
2 ELECTRIC PREPARATIONS (standard system)
3.1 PRELIMINARY CHECKS
To ensure a correctly operating automated system, the structure
of the existing shutter or shutter to be built must satisfy the following
requirements:
• Dimensions and maximum weight as per specifications in Tab. 1.
• Strong, well constructed shutter structure.
• Smooth rise and descent movement, free of any irregular friction along
its entire travel.
• The rotation pins and moving parts must be in good condition.
• Shutter well balanced during its entire travel.
We advise you to carry out the metalwork jobs if any, before installing
the application.
The condition of the structure directly influences the reliability and safety
of the automated system.

Accurately clean the surface of the flange (ref. Fig. 8) making
sure to remove all metallic residue produced by the previous hole
drilling operation;
Fit the two parts of the roller bearing (ref. Fig.8) on the flange, and
correctly join them by pressure, to form a single body;
The closure of the roller bearing on the flange is definitive. Any
subsequent attempt to open it could damage the couplings,
thus compromising their operation.
Do not lubricate the flange and bearing with grease or
equivalent substances to avoid subsequent accumulation of
dust and dirt.

If, in chapter 1.2, you have measured a winding pulley diameter
of 220 mm, you must fit the crown adapters, as shown in Fig. 9.
Couple the adapters in the housings on the crown. Fasten the
countersunk screw to firmly secure one of the two adapters on the
crown. Fasten the second adapter with the rounded head screw
in order to anchor the shutter.
Anchoring the crown on the shutter could be the cause
of the loss of the initial positions of the mechanical
travel-limit devices. For this reason, we advise you
NOT TO REMOVE the service bracket, ref. Fig.1 on
page 3.
10.
Drill a hole with a diameter of 10.5 mm on the shutter in
correspondence with the securing hole on the transmission crown
gear. To definitively secure the shutter to the crown use the relevant
rounded head screw and its washer, Fig. 10 ref. .

5 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The gearmotors for shutters R180 and R280 can be commanded by
direct power, supplied by a 230 VAC selector, or by control boards
200 BT and 200 MPS.
To install two R180/280 units on the same winding
shaft, please refer to chapter 8 on page 8 BEFORE
performing the following electrical connections.
The gearmotor is supplied with a pre-wired power cable with a length of
4 meters. Fit this cable in the hole drilled on the winding shaft (as shown
in chapter 1.2 “MECHANICAL PREPARATIONS”), making it come out from
the side of the winding shaft in which you intend to install the movement
commands or the electrical pull-boxes.
The electronic command received from a
button-board/selector at 230 Vac, can only be used
indoors.
5.1 BUTTON-BOARD OR SELECTOR 230 Vac
The 200BT control board makes it possible to connect two push-buttons
commanded on low voltage (24 Vdc) with dead man logic.
An electronic interlock system prevents simultaneous powering of the
electric motor in the two operating directions.

6 START-UP OF THE SYSTEM
The procedure for the first start-up of the automated system for shutter
winders R180 and R280 is of key importance for correct, automatic
adjustment of the travel limit devices.
The travel limit unit of automated system R180 and R280, was designed
and assembled to allow the travel limit devices to be automatically
positioned with a single opening movement.
Carry out the following procedure:
With the shutter completely closed, remove the service bracket (ref.
fig. 11) from the travel-limit unit;
Command complete opening until the mechanical stop point or
the desired height is reached;
According to the type of electric command used,
make sure that the opening movement is constant
along the entire travel. Do not interrupt the rise motion
until the opening height is reached.
Command a complete closure after having reached the opening
position (determined by travel limit stop or by customer’s choice).
The automatic setting procedure for the travel limit devices has ended;
carry out some movements to check if the opening and closing stop
positions are as required.
To further fine tune these positions, consult paragraph 6.1 “MANUAL
ADJUSTMENT OF THE TRAVEL LIMIT DEVICES”.
1.
2.
3.
6.1 MANUAL ADJUSTMENT OF THE TRAVEL-LIMIT DEVICES
If you wish to modify/fine tune the automatically set opening and closing
positions, proceed as follows:
Take the shutter into its fully closed position, to obtain full access to
the travel limit unit;
1.
As shown in Figure 14, incline downward and keep inclined the
rotation constraint lever (ref. ) to enable release of the travel-limit
devices screws;
Turn the travel-limit devices screws clockwise or anti-clockwise
to anticipate or delay the activation of the opening or closing
microswitches;
Release the rotation constraint lever and perform a few movements
to check the effect of the modifications;
Repeat the procedure till obtaining the motor stop in the required
positions.

3.
4.
5.
Electro-brake assembly procedure:
Fit the supplied cable inside the body of the electro-brake until it
comes into contact with the end ball (Fig.15);
Fit the sheath of the cable until it comes into contact with the
electro-brake body (Fig.15);
1.
2.
Assemble the electro-brake in Figure 16 on the cover of the electric
motor with screws ref. and washers ref., mating the motor shaft
ref.with the electro-brake block;
3.
Use the hole (Ø 15 mm), previously drilled for routing the power
cable, to insert the sheath-cable unit into the shutter shaft (Figure
17). Take care not to bend the sheath too much in order to allow
the cable to freely move inside.
4.
The electro-brake is an accessory that guarantees maintaining the
position of the shutter at whatever height it is left.
In fact, the electro-brake acts on the motor shaft, locking it at the end
of each electric movement, thus ensuring that the shutter cannot
be manually moved or lose its position due to imbalance of the
compensation springs.
