6. Installation instructions
Before fixing, the strength of the masonry or of the subsurface is to be checked.
I Caution: If the tube is screwed/riveted to the drive, the measure must be
taken from the tube end to the center of the drive and marked on the tube.
When drilling the winding shaft never drill into the
area of the tubular motor!
When inserting into the shaft, the tubular motor
must not be struck and must not be allowed to fall
into the shaft.
Installation into facade awnings and
screens:
Insert motor with a suitable adapter and drive into
the shaft up to the stop of the shaft adapter.
Fix the motor support on the awning. Fix the motor
together with the shaft on the motor support. The
bearer locks into place.
Depending on the selected motor head,
different fixation systems can be used:
– Place the motor with square insert in the star-
shaped bearer and lock with pin
– Place the motor into the existing engine bearer
and lock
– Place the motor in a compatible engine bearer with clip system and lock with
spring or rotating lever

7. Setting of the end stops
Connect the setting cable to the connecting cable of the GEIGER SoftZero-DG.
When doing so, take care to ensure that the colours of the different leads do tally
with each other. The assignment of the direction keys 1 and 2 to the direction of
rotation is dependent on the installation situation of the motor. Then connect the
setting cable to the 230V mains.
Setting of the lower end position
Press the programming key until the LED blinks 1 x, then release the programming
key. Run the motor with the direction keys to the desired lower end position. Press
the programming key - the LED blinks 2 x.
Setting of the upper end position (Torque shutoff)
Run the motor with the direction keys to the desired upper end position. When
the upper end position is reached, the motor turns off automatically the learning
process. The programming is finished and the motor returns to normal operation.
I There is no need to first delete the end stops (memorised) if you wish to
modify them.
8. Correction of the end stops
If a lengthening/shortening of the hanging has resulted due to e.g. temperature
changes, this will be automatically corrected by closing the awning.
If, due to temperature changes, modified winding behaviour should arise and the
hangings should run against the stop, an immediate end position correction takes
place.
After the first reference run, the motor automatically identifies the torque necessary
to close the awning and closes it with the lowest possible power, so that the fabric
is optimally protected.

9. GEIGER Powertronic
The GEIGER Powertronic enables the user to change the motor’s closing characteris-
tics. The user can raise or reduce the closing power applied through the motor. This
way, he or she influences the closing characteristics of the casing. A rise in the closing
power causes a tighter closing of the casing with increased stress on the fabric; a
reduction in the closing power causes a looser closing and less strain to the fabric.
Closing power levels: from level 0 to level 7
GEIGER-delivery setting: level 0
I Caution: By manually raising the closing power (e.g. from level 0 to
level 3) the fabric endures more strain.
In which situations is the GEIGER Powertronic applied?
• If the casing does not completely close.
• If the closing operation should be optimised for better fabric protection.
When can the GEIGER Powertronic be applied?
• Anytime; this function can be activated during initial operation, as well as at a
later date.
Which resources are necessary?
• GEIGER setting cable M56K144 (D), M56F150 (CH) or M56F151 (D with service
terminal)
Please note:
• The stop positions are not affected when the GEIGER Powertronic is activated.
• The selected power level is not affected when the end stop positions are changed
• Only activate the GEIGER Powertronic after the stop positions have been
taught-in and a complete reference run has been conducted.
GEIGER Powertronic – changing the power levels
Connect the setting cable to the connecting cable of the motor. When doing so,
take care to ensure that the colours of the different leads do tally with each other.
Then connect the setting cable to the 230V mains.
Activating the GEIGER Powertronic
Press the programming key about 8 seconds until the LED blinks 3 x, then release
the programming key.
Changing the power levels
The motor is delivered with the power level 0. In order to increase the force press
key 2. Press key at least 2 seconds and stop at least 2 seconds. In order to
reduce the force press key 1. In order to store the selected level, press shortly the
programming key – the LED lights up. The adjustment process is finished.

10. Obstacle detection
If, after teaching-in, the first complete, uninterrupted run from one stop position to
the other is conducted, the necessary torque will be taught-in.
With each successive complete and uninterrupted run from one stop position to
the other, the necessary torque is automatically readjusted. Slow changes to the
equipment through aging, contamination, the cold or heat are accounted for in this
regard. This process takes place for both running directions independently of one
another.
Should UPWARD movement be blocked by an obstruction, the motor turns off and
a short reverse movement occurs.
The direction of movement in which the obstruction was detected is locked.
The device will be unlocked if the motor is run for a short time period in the oppo-
site direction. The obstruction must also be removed before the motor can be rerun
in the direction of the obstruction.
I Because of the motor sensitive obstacle detection, the correct
dimensioning of the torque for the respective installation size is
essential.
In the following table please find a selection aid to find out the right motor size:
These are estimated values so please check the correct functioning of the
installation.
I When using a wind sensor the correct functioning of the retract
command under wind load should be checked by the manufacturer of
the sun protection before commissioning.
