Installation guidelines
•The standard cable routing for the direct drive should be laid on the edge of the pool with a
connection box; this must be accessible at all times.
•The length of the conduit between the drive and connection box should be max. 3.5 m.
•The supply cable between the controller and distribution box must correspond to the
characteristics specified in Rollo Solar’s supply table (see the section ‘Rollo Solar supply
table’). We recommend using the original extension cable, article no. 6100-0023.
•If installations do not correspond to these installation guidelines, additional costs may be
incurred in the event of a motor replacement.
Caution! The installation of the system must be performed by a qualified specialist in accordance
with the associated drawings and installation instructions.
Please ensure that only special tools (VA stainless steel) are used during the installation.
Electrical work
•Please observe the following with respect to all electrical work:
Electrical connections may only be carried out by a skilled electrician.
•The electrical installations at the building site must correspond to the respective protection
provisions.
•The mains plug must be disconnected prior to all work on the drive, controller or

Motor thermoprotector
The thermoprotector prevents the motor from overheating.
Control board pulse limiter
The pulse limiter prevents the motor from working if there is no pulse signal from the motor to
the controller.
Control board kill switch (public pools)
The kill switch prevents the motor from working insofar as the key switch is not operated
continuously until the respective position is reached.
Key switch/programming switch
The key switch locks the system and prevents the system from being operated unintentionally or
by unauthorised persons.
Intended use
Rollo Solar motors are intended for underwater use in private and public swimming pools.
Installation and start-up must be performed by a qualified specialist. The motors must be
connected according to the Rollo Solar installation guidelines. Only controller approved by Rollo
Solar may be used. The power supply must be between 24–30 volt DC. The operating
temperature of the motor is between 0 °C and 40 °C. The systems may only be operated by
authorised persons with the proper training. The motors are to be used in pool water with a
quality corresponding to DIN 19643 for non-swimmer pools. The saline concentration agreed
with the retailer/customer and Rollo Solar may not be exceeded in the case of swimming pools
operated with saline water.

Symbols on components
During the (re)commissioning of the pool cover, the ‘ZU’ (OPEN) and ‘ZU’ (CLOSED) end
positions of the swimming pool system must be monitored and adjusted if necessary in
accordance with these operating instructions.
The distribution box must be installed and must be freely accessible at all times on the
edge of the pool; any deviations in the installation are prohibited! The length of the
conduit between the drive and distribution box should be max. 3.5 m.
Switch off the power supply prior to any work on electrical components (controller,
motor, switches)! Electrical connection work may only be carried out by a qualified,
skilled electrician.

•Children must be prevented from playing with the stationary controllers by those in charge of
their care. Remote controls must be kept out of the reach of children.
•Children must be supervised by a responsible adult when the swimming pool cover is open.
•The swimming pool and cover must be kept within sight at all times while operating the
system. This will help to avoid accidents or damage to property.
•The swimming pool cover should be monitored while it is moving and any person(s) present
should be kept away from the cover until it is completely opened/closed.
•No persons may be present in the pool any time it is being operated.
•The cover must not be walked on.
•It is important to ensure that no objects/persons/animals are on or under the cover any time
it is being operated.
•The cover should be kept free of snow and ice.
•The water treatment method determined for the delivery may not be modified; e.g., changing
chlorine treatment into a salt electrolysis system/saline.
The components used are not designed for this and would be damaged.
•PVC profiles may never be exposed to sunlight when dry, as this will result in the risk of
irreparable sun damage.
•The system must be secured with wind securing straps at wind forces from 4 to 6 or in
unfavourable weather conditions.
•In extreme weather conditions/inclement weather or at wind forces greater than 7, the cover
must immediately be brought to the ‘AUF’ (OPEN) position, i.e. ready for bathing.
•The extension and retraction of the swimming pool cover may only be performed using a key
switch, key button and/or with a remote control.
•If a remote control is used, the product no longer corresponds to the
TÜV certification.
•Only the kill switch may be configured for public swimming pools.
•Prior to operation, the system must be checked for signs of wear and/or damages; the same
applies to electrical components.
•Operation may only occur at the water level designated for this purpose.

•The threshold values/concentration of salt electrolysis/saline, chloride concentration, pH
values, etc. specified by the manufacturer must be met at a minimum and must not be
exceeded. The operator is responsible for establishing and monitoring these values.
•Any change and/or modification to the product by the operator or retailer is prohibited and
will invalidate the warranty and guarantee claims.
•If irregularities occur (such as, for example, tilting, overlapping or obstructions), the swimming
pool cover must be brought to a stop immediately and inspected, and the fault must be
remedied if possible. The responsible retailer should be contacted in case of doubt.
•All work on any components may only be performed with special VA stainless steel tools.
•Have your cover repaired only by qualified personnel and only using original spare parts.
•In the case of perimeter overflow pools, the swimming pool cover should be secured against
shifting to the side when closed in accordance with the specified drawing and following proper
instruction.
•The qualified specialist retailer/company performing the installation must start up the system
and instruct the operator. The operator must be provided with information regarding the
necessary protection regulations and due diligence which must be observed.
•Pool rest phases in accordance with legal provisions and standards must be maintained. If this
is not possible, access to the swimming pool must be prevented during these periods; the
party responsible for the pool’s operation will be accountable.
•On-site enclosures must be approved by the manufacturer.
•The strength of the control board fuse is determined by the manufacturer and may not be
modified.
•Safety devices may not be manipulated or disabled.
Caution!
The inappropriate operation and improper use of the system, as well as the failure to observe these
