47mm.
1) Fit the accessories required to integrate the drive in the
roller tube:
• Fit the crown a, the drive wheel band the stop wheel c
on the drive.
The stop wheel must be screwed with a torque ranging
between 1.5 and 1.8 Nm.
2) Measure the length (L1) between the inner edge of the
drive head and the rim of the drive wheel.
2.1.2. Tube preparation
1) Cut the roller tube to the required length, depending on
the motorised product.
2) Deburr the roller tube and remove the swarf.

2.1.3. Drive/tube assembly
1) Slide the drive into the roller tube.
For roller tubes which are smooth inside, position the notch
previously cut on the boss on the crown.
2) The drive wheel must be locked in place to prevent it
moving along the roller tube:
• This can be done either by xing the roller tube to the
drive wheel using 4 x Ø 5 mm self-tapping screws,
or by using 4 x Ø 4.8 mm steel pop rivets placed 5
mm to 15 mm from the outer rim of the drive wheel,
regardless of the roller tube.
The screws or pop rivets must only be attached to the
drive wheel and not to the drive.
3) Slide the end cap into the roller tube.
2.1.4. Installing the drive/tube assembly
The motorised product must not be compressed between the brackets
1) Install and x the drive/tube assembly onto the end
bracket fand onto the drive bracket g:
Ensure that the drive/tube assembly is secured onto
the end bracket. This operation prevents the drive/
tube assembly from coming out of the end bracket
mounting when the roller blind reaches the lower end
limit position.
2) Depending on the type of bracket, t the stop ring hin
place.
