TROUBLESHOOTING
Please perform the following steps if:
THE REVEAL 600 IS NOT WORKING SMOOTHLY
1. Make sure the system is correctly connected to the power supply.
2. Check that all cables are connected to the correct outlets.
3. Check that the outlets or cables are not damaged.
4. Make sure the rolling direction of the motor is correct.
5. Check whether the limit switches are set correctly.
6.
THE REVEAL CURTAIN DOES NOT ROLL UP CORRECTLY
1. If the curtain does not roll up entirely, reset the limit switches as shown on
page 7 or 10 depending on your setup.
2. Check whether the curtain isblocked inside the flightcase. If so, unravel the
fabric, check the end positions of the limit switches and reset if necessary.
3. When using setup B, check that the jump switch of the remote control is
turned in the correct direction.
THE MOTOR DOES NOT TURN IN BOTH DIRECTIONS
1. If used too frequently, the engine will overheat. This is protected by a
thermalcontactthatwillshutdownthemotor.Allowenginetocool(atleast
30min) and try again.
CAREANDMAINTENANCE
Periodic, regularly scheduled maintenance inspections are necessary for
any mechanical system. An automatic reveal system is no different. It has
components that must be inspected, adjusted, maintained and replaced.
In order to keep your system safe and in good working order, a
regular inspection and maintenance program must be implemented.
Above-average use or operating the curtain track at locations subject to
high humidity, dust, extreme temperature changes, etc. may require
shorter intervals than indicated in the scheduled programme outlined
above.
The best way to maintain your product is by using it regularly. This will
keep the grease properly distributed and allows theinspector to regularly
check for unusual noise or drag in the system.

the same steps as the assembly procedure.
