2.2 Precauons and safety instrucons
Precauons
A roller-screen system can be dangerous. The correct safety precauons are important (safety
barriers, persons cannot touch the winding tube).
• If these precauons cannot be obeyed, then use warnings.
• The responsibility for precauons and warnings lies with the installer of the roller-screen system.
Refer to the, local or naonal, laws and regulaons of the country if a CE cercaon (to show
the safety is made sure) is necessary.
• Parts of the electrical or electronic installaons are connected to dangerous electrical voltages.
Work without professional competence or not obeyed warning instrucons could cause injury
and/or material damage.
• Ridder is not responsible for injury, material damage or consequenal damage if accessories that
Ridder did not make are used.
Safety instrucons
• Do not let persons and not approved personnel be near controls and roller-screen systems which
are in operaon.
• Damaged systems must be stopped immediately unl they are repaired.
• Do not operate roller-screen systems when persons are in the danger zone and can touch the
roller screen.
• Monitor the danger zone when you work with or near the roller screen.
• Stop and de-energize roller-screen systems during maintenance and cleaning work to or near the
system.
• Make sure that there is sucient space between parts that move and adjacent objects.
• Stay away from or safety areas where there is a risk to become caught in the system (tube-motor
guiding, roller screen).
• The torque and the duty cycle of the system must be in the range of the tube motor parameters.
Refer to §3.4/§3.5.
• Use safety barriers, for system parts that move, to a height of 2.5 m from the ground.
• Safety distances must agree with ISO 13857:2008.
May result in minor injury if the hazard is not avoided.

2.3 Residual risks
Automated controls
The Ridder RB50Eᵖˡᵘˢ tube motors are generally used in automac controlled roller-screen systems.
Persons who do work or stay near the roller-screen system must know about that. If persons or their
cloths touch the roller-screen system when it winds up, it could have serious consequences.
Torque guard
The RB50Eᵖˡᵘˢ tube motor has a torque guard. The funcon is to minimize the risk of injury to
persons, damage to the system or damage to the tube motor. Because of the forces in the systems
(in which the tube motor is installed), Ridder cannot be sure that there will be no injury to persons
or damage to the system.

3. PRODUCT DETAILS
3.1 Descripon
The Ridder RB50Eᵖˡᵘˢ tube motor is built-in to a 50 mm aluminium tube (wall thickness 1.5 mm) and
suitable for use with 50 mm winding tubes. Because it is built-in it is possible to wind around the full
width of the tube motor.
The RB50Eᵖˡᵘˢ tube motor is supplied with a 1-phase 2 core asynchronous electric motor for a mains
voltage of 230 V at 50 Hz, an integrated brake and a lubricated gear system. When the tube motor
operates with undervoltage the braking funcon stays good unl a minimum of 190 V. The tube
motor has a thermal protecon system. This prevents the burn-out of the drive if the electric motor
becomes too hot.
The RB50Eᵖˡᵘˢ tube motor is almost enrely water resistant. The protecon classicaon of IP55
makes sure that a damp environment has no eect on the tube motor.
The RB50Eᵖˡᵘˢ tube motor has an electronic limit-switch system, with a range of 38 revoluons, that
counts pulses. These counted pulses are used to stop the tube motor at the end posions and in
case of an overload. It is possible to set end posions with an adjusng set. The electronic limit-
switch system also makes parallel connecon of tube motors possible.
Together with the Ridder guiding unit and a guiding prole, the tube motor can be installed on the
two sides of a roller screen.

4.6 Aach the coupling piece to the tube motor
The condions and starng points that follow are applicable.
• Use pop-rivets to aach the coupling piece (16) (for a winding tube ø50 mm) to the tube (1.1).
Use a minimum of 4 pop-rivets (18) with a minimum diameter of 5 mm.
Do the procedure that follows.
1. Put the coupling piece (16) into the tube (1.1) of the tube motor (1). Make sure that the distance
into the tube is sucient to drill the holes (d) correctly in the coupling piece (16) and the tubes
(1.1/17). For the four recommended drilling posions (d) refer to illustraons 4.6.1/D-D. Drill
only in the permied part from the open end of the tube (1.1). Note: Drill the holes for the
winding tube (17) in §4.7.
2. Drill one of the holes for the pop-rivets (18) into the tube (1.1) and coupling piece (16)
(minimum of ø5.2 mm if pop-rivets of ø5 mm are used).
3. Use a pop-rivet pliers to aach the pop-rivet (18).
4. Drill the holes for the other three pop-rivets (18).
5. Use the pop-rivet pliers to aach the other three pop-rivets (18).
6. Put the winding tube (17) on the coupling piece (16) at a small distance from the tube motor.
This distance is temporarily necessary when the cord (20.1) is pulled through the winding tube
(17). Refer to step 2 of §4.7.
Do not drill into the tube motor more than 120 mm* from the open
end. *For the tube motor 550039 this is 194 mm.
Make sure that the connecons between the winding tube and the
tube motor are strong enough for the supplied drive torque.
Make sure that the connecons between the winding tube and the
tube motor are aached as smooth as possible.
This is important for the screen cloth.

4.7 Aach the screen cloth and winding tube
The condions and starng points that follow are applicable.
• The overview in illustraon 4.7.1 is the starng point in §4.7.
• In this product manual the starng point is a side-wall roller-screen. The roller screen is installed
on a side wall between the purlins. In a roof roller-screen system an angle of inclinaon of less
than 20° from the horizontal baseline is not recommended. Refer to illustraon 4.7.2.
• The RB50Eᵖˡᵘˢ tube motor is built-in to a smooth circular aluminium tube (50 x 1.5 mm).
Compared to the winding tube (17), this tube does not have a groove for the screen cloth (20).
• First aach the screen cloth (20) to the building structure. Make sure that it does not fold!
