2 Safety instructions
2.1 Target group
This document is primarily intended for use by electri-
cians, technicians and engineers with experience in the
design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of
building technology.
2.2 Intended use
ExitSafe has been developed for the operation of elec-
trically powered roller shutters and venetian blinds. The
ExitSafe system is designed for the operation of elero
12 V DC tubular drives and venetian blind drives on a
230 V AC network with temporary failure of the mains
supply and occasional use (not for JA 10 Soft DC
35 093.0002).
ExitSafe allows the implementation of a second escape
route with electrically powered roller shutters and vene-
tian blinds.
WARNING
Injuries / material damage may occur as a result
of improper use!

࿈elero GmbH EN | 7
WARNING
ExitSafe ExitSafe may not be used in escape rou-
tes and primary rescue routes in accordance with
the Model Building Regulation (MBO).
• Do not use in locations where failure or malfunction
could result in the obstruction of an escape route or
a primary rescue route.
When using ExitSafe, compliance with the national and
international safety and accident prevention regulations
specific to the application is required.
ExitSafe components are designed for installation in
flush/surface mount housings. Any conversions or other
modifications to ExitSafe are not permitted.
Use the ExitSafe system only with suitable drives for
roller shutters and venetian blinds from elero. If drives
from other manufacturers are connected, there will be
no entitlement to warranty.
2.3 Installation and commissioning
WARNING
Risk of injury due to unexpected start-up of the
connected drive.
• Disconnect the ExitSafe battery pack before perfor-
ming work on the drive.
• Only perform work on the electrical connection if it
has been disconnected from the power supply.

8 | EN ࿈elero GmbH
WARNING
Risk of injury, damage to the ExitSafe and
damage to the area surrounding the ExitSafe as
a result of improper electrical connections.
• The electrical connection may only be conducted by
qualified personnel.
• Only perform work on the electrical connection if it
has been disconnected from the power supply.
• Observe the charge status of the battery pack.
• Note the technical data for the device.
• Take care to ensure correct, securely affixed
connections.
ATTENTION
Exchanging components of the ExitSafe with
third party components may damage the compo-
nents or other connected systems.
• Exchange components between different systems
only after consultation with the manufacturer or your
supplier.
• When replacing a component, check whether the
type description of the new component matches the
one being replaced.
3 System description
3.1 System design
ExitSafe consists of two main components:
• Control module (ExitSafe-S)
• Battery pack (ExitSafe-A)
Figure 1 is a diagram of the ExitSafe connection.

࿈elero GmbH EN | 9
3.1.1 Control module (ExitSafe-S)
The drive, mains supply, battery pack and all the com-
mand initiators required are connected to the ExitSafe-S
control module. The control module also contains the
DIP switches used to set the ExitSafe system. The
control module evaluates these DIP switches and the
connected command initiators and controls the drive
accordingly. It supplies the drive with power from the
battery pack. The control module generates voltage via
the mains connection, which is used to recharge the
battery pack.
3.1.2 Battery pack (ExitSafe-A)
The battery pack ExitSafe-A stores the power required
to operate the ExitSafe. The battery pack contains
various protective devices that prevent damage to the
battery cells due to overvoltage or undervoltage, short
circuits or overloading.
3.2 Usable drives
To be used only with wired elero DC drives (12 V direct
current).
• VariEco M10 DC (34 621.0101), with original 2.0 m
connection cable, do not extend
• VariEco M12 DC (34 611.0101), with original 2.0 m
connection cable, do not extend
• JA 04 Soft DC (35 113.0001), with original 0.5 m
connection cable, can be extended with a maximum of
one extension, art. no. 26 619.0401 (length of 2.20 m)

10 | EN ࿈elero GmbH
The end positions for the blind are set directly on the
respective drive (not with elero 230 V assembly cable).
The drives draw their power exclusively from the battery
pack.
The 230 V power supply is used exclusively to charge
the battery pack.
The installation is carried out in the vicinity of the drive
in a double-height and double-depth installation box (not
included in the scope of delivery).
The blind is operated individually with an interlocked
push button or switch in a separate installation box or
in combination with the elero VarioTec-868 DC with a
separate elero radio transmitter.
It is also possible to connect a potential-free normally
closed or normally open contact to the central input, e.g.
via a smoke detector.
3.3 Delivery condition
The battery pack is in power-saving mode with a low
charge and must first be brought into an operational
state by charging it. The charging process can take up
to eight hours.
It is only fully ready for operation after it has been
charged for eight hours from the mains.
The end positions of the blind can be set only after the
ExitSafe system has been installed and the battery pack
has been fully charged on the drive itself.

࿈elero GmbH EN | 11
3.4 Electrical connection
WARNING
Risk of injury, damage to the ExitSafe and dama-
ge to the area surrounding the ExitSafe due to
improper electrical connections.
• The electrical connection may only be conducted by
qualified personnel.
• Only perform work on the electrical connection if it
has been disconnected from the power supply.
• When connecting the motor terminal, ensure correct
assignment to the sense of rotation of the drive.
When the battery charge level is low and automatic
retraction of the blind is activated (UP direction of
travel, DIP switch 3, see section 5.4), a switching
command is issued to retract the blind.
• Observe the charge status of the battery pack.
• Note the technical data for the device.
• Do not extend the original connection cable of the
roller shutter drive.
• Take care to ensure the connections are correct and
secure.

4.6 Connection and installation
WARNING
Risk of injury, damage to the ExitSafe and
damage to the area surrounding the ExitSafe
due to improper electrical connections.

࿈elero GmbH EN | 19
WARNING
• The electrical connection may only be conducted by
qualified personnel.
• Only perform work on the electrical connection if it
has been disconnected from the power supply.
• Observe the charge status of the battery pack.
• Note the technical data for the device.
• Do not extend the original connection cable of the
roller shutter drive.
• Take care to ensure the connections are correct and
secure.
ExitSafe must be installed in a dust-free and dry
environment.
Recommended procedure for the installation and
connection of the ExitSafe in an installation double box
[e.g. electronic flush-mounted box ECON 1068-21 or
cavity wall 9062-94 from Kaiser GmbH (www.kaiser-
elektro.de)]:
1. First check whether the ExitSafe components
can be inserted into the installation space without
connecting the cables. Depending on the design of
the installation box, a different sequence may be
appropriate. Please note that the battery pack should
be replaced after 2 years.
2. Connect the required command initiators and control
elements to the eight-pin connection cable that has
not yet been plugged in. Any open ends of lines that
are not being used are to be insulated.

20 | EN ࿈elero GmbH
3. Connect the drive cable to the four-pole screw
terminal of the control module using the original
connection. The sense of rotation of the drive can
be adjusted by exchanging the cables at the UP and
DOWN terminals.
4. Connect the mains supply to the two spring clamps
on the control module.
5. Insert the eight-pin connection cable to the control
module.
6. Insert the battery pack and the control module into
the installation box. Pay attention to the cable routing
and avoid putting pressure on the components.
7. Connect the battery pack to the control module using
the plug connection.
4.7 Commissioning
The battery pack is delivered in power-saving mode
with a low charge level to prevent it from giving offany
energy initially. ExitSafe is not ready for operation in this
state. In order to be fully operational, the battery pack
must first be charged.
Procedure for commissioning the ExitSafe:
1. First carry out the installation steps described in
Chapter 4.6 Connection and assembly.
2. Switch on the ExitSafe power supply. After a few
minutes, the battery pack starts to charge via the
control module.
3. Wait eight hours.
4. Check the sense of rotation of the drive.
5. Check all connected command initiators and control
elements.
