Rollshutter Installation Guide
If nothing else, at least read this page
The source of most problems is related to the installation rather than the product. It is essential to follow the
installation guidelines. We urge installers to take the time now to read the instructions and avoid costly, time-
consuming problems later. It is only necessary to read through a small fraction of this booklet as it covers all types of
Rollshutter installations. At the beginning of each section the booklet will point out if the section can be skipped.
We hope that this installation guide is easy to use. Should you discover an error or an omission please tell us about it.
Parts and options change continually so we are updating all the time.
Should you require any support or have any questions, please call us from site: 800-665-5550
(M-F 8am to 4:30pm PST)
We thank you for putting your trust in us.
Sincerely,
Your Talius Customer Service Team

Section 1: Opening Criteria
Ensure that the opening is square and level. The Rollshutter must be mounted as follows:
1a) Panel Box and Shaft: The shaft must be level. If the shaft is not level the Rollshutter curtain will travel to one side and
will break apart at the shaft's highest point over time. Note that the shaft is not necessarily aligned perfectly with the
panel box.
1b) Guide Rails: Both guide rails must be vertically mounted. If they are not, the Rollshutter curtain will either rub inside
the guide rails or come out of the guide rails.
1c) Sill: The sill or floor may have a deflection from the horizontal by 1/100 of the width to a maximum of 1 ½" (30mm).
This is the most forgiving place for a Rollshutter to adjust to an imperfect installation. If the sill or floor is not level,
ensure that the guide rails are cut to uneven lengths to take up the difference in the floor or sill while leaving the panel
box and shaft level.
Section 2: Mounting Methods
Insert the panel box endplate legs (or rolling door brackets) temporarily into the guide rails.
2.1a) Face of Wall Mounting: Hold the unit against the opening and determine the future fit. Note that the backs of most
guide rails are in line with the back of the panel box (or rolling door brackets), therefore it is important to ensure that
there is an even plane on which to mount the Rollshutter. The build-up is recommended to be at least 1 3/8" (35mm)
wide along the required areas. Various extruded build-up materials can be used to achieve such an even surface. This
build-up may be purchased from Talius and if that is the case it will be included with your product.
Note that some rails (PRO, PRO-40, SAFE, SAFE-40, PRO CENTRE and SAFE CENTRE) already have
an incorporated build-up on ¼” and the rails do not align with the back of the panel box)
2.1b) Between Jamb, Under Lintel Mounting: If the Rollshutter will be installed inside an opening rather than on a surface,
hold the unit inside the opening and determine its fit. The prime concern will be to stay within the maximum de- flection
allowances. Many openings are not true and level so it may be necessary to use build-up materials such as wood shims
to fill out any gaps. The manufacturer does not supply such build-up materials.

Note: For some face of wall applications we suggest flashing to prevent water build up behind the Rollshutter. Talius
does not supply traditional flashing material but L-sill can be used in its place if needed.
Section 3: Preparation for Through Wall Operator Applications
In this section, determine how the operator exits the Rollshutter and interacts with the surrounding wall. If the
operator does not penetrate a wall, ignore this section.

Rollshutter Installation Instructions, 7
©Copyright TALIUS
3.1a) Tape Operator (all types): If the control tape will travel through a wall look for an exit hole of approximately Ø1"
(Ø25mm) in diameter in one of the lower back corners of the panel box. Hold the panel box and rails against the
opening and mark the location of the hole on the opening. On the marked location drill a pilot hole of approximately
Ø3/8" (Ø10mm) in diameter horizontally through the wall. Have a helper safely hold a piece of wood over the location
the hole will exit the interior wall. Once the pilot hole is satisfactory, increase the diameter to Ø3/4" (Ø20mm). The
hole can angle up or down somewhat, but it should allow very little side-to-side movement.
3.1b) Crank Rod Operator with Gear or Manual Override Motor: If the job consists of several units it is important to be
aware that there are various gears and/or manual override motors that require different sized connectors. For example
there are 6x6mm and 8x8mm square connectors, and 7mm hexagonal connectors that look rather similar. If the job
contains different sized connectors, push each one into a gear or manual override motor until each connector is
matched up satisfactorily to a Rollshutter unit before proceeding with this section. On the marked location drill a pilot
hole of approximately Ø3/8" (Ø10mm) in diameter through the wall. Have a helper safely hold a piece of wood over the
location the hole will exit the interior wall. The drilling must be performed at the pitch that was previously determined.
Once the pilot hole is satisfactory, increase the diameter to ؽ" (Ø13mm). The hole must be straight and allow no
side-to-side movement.
If the connector rod of the universal will travel through a wall look for an exit hole of approximately Ø1" (Ø25mm)
diameter in one of the corners in the lower or middle back of the panel box. Hold the panel box and rails against the
opening and mark the location of the hole on the opening. Then insert the connector rod and universal through the
back of the panel box into the gear or manual override motor and note the pitch of the rod. The pitch will often be
somewhere between horizontal to 45º downward.
3.1c) Torsion Spring Operation: Proceed to Section 4.
3.1d) Motor Operator: An exit hole for the power cable of approximately Ø3/4" (Ø19mm) will need to be drilled in one
of the back corners of the panel box. The hole is not drilled at the factory because of site variation. Remove the lid and
look for the motor side. Proceed to drill a hole of desired size and location within the panel box endplate. Hold the
panel box and rails against the opening and mark the location of the hole on the opening. An electrician should cover
any cable exiting the panel box with a sleeve to prevent cutting of the wires by the endplate. On the marked location
the electrician will drill a hole of approximately Ø3/8" (Ø10mm) diameter horizontally through the outer layer of the
wall. The electrician will later run the wires through the inside of the wall into the hole at the back of the panel box. If
the Rollshutter contains a manual override then also follow section 3.1b on crank rod operators.
Section 4: Pre-Drilling Guide Rails
NOTE: If you have ordered your rails with pre-drilling by-pass this section
The guide rails are the main supports that hold up a Rollshutter unit and will later need to be fastened securely. When
drilling through two layers of aluminum the hole through the outer layer must be Ø8.5mm (Ø11/32") precisely for the
screw caps, or Ø10mm (Ø3/8") for screw caps for security or high-wind applications. The hole through the inner layer
should be approximately Ø5mm (Ø3/16"). For two-piece safe rails, drill only a Ø5mm (Ø3/16") hole through one layer –
the bottom mount piece. If there are many holes to drill the factory can supply at reasonable cost a step drill bit that
drills both holes simultaneously. Normally the holes should be spaced no more than 16" - 20" (40 - 50cm) apart, but for
security and high-wind applications the spacing should be 8" - 12" (20 - 30cm). Ensure that the first and last holes are no

Rollshutter Installation Instructions, 8
©Copyright TALIUS
closer than 3" (75mm) to either end of the guide rail.
Note: If the Rollshutter is equipped with two-piece safe guide rails, pre-drilling is not required, and holes
may be drilled in the mounting channel at any location without the concern of being symmetrical with
the opposite rail. The example below shows a number of possible mounting locations.
Section5: Mounting Rails and Panel Box
In this section the framework will be attached to the opening. Note that some guide rails are not symmetrical and carry
a removable warning decal showing which end of each guide rail is "up and front"
5.1) Guide Rail Mounting: Slide the panel box endplate legs into the guide rails. Be careful not to twist the panel box with
the rails since the legs of the end plates might get broken. To attach the rails to the opening, start at the top of the rails
and install only one screw at the top of each rail. After the top screw is in, level one rail and then complete installing
the screws on that rail, working from top to bottom. Before continuing to install the second rail, measure to ensure that
the width of the opening between the rails is the same at the top, middle and bottom, and that they are vertical. Then
continue installing screws from top to bottom on the second rail.
Watch out for these conditions:
Rollshutter equipped with any automatic, manual or key lock: The guide rails will be modified in some ways, making right and
left rail not interchangeable. They will be equipped with notches or ribbed plates attached inside the channel at one end.
Notches for slide locks should always be at the bottom of the guide rail when the framework is attached, and the ribbed
plates should always be at the top. Look for a removable warning decal showing which end is "up and front" to ensure
that the notches or ribbed plates are at the correct end. Some guide rails are not symmetrical inside the hollow
chamber. When attaching the guide rail onto the end plates, the back of the panel box will be flush with most guide rails.
If not, interchanging the right and left guide rail may be necessary. Refer to lock section before proceeding.

5.2) Panel Box Mounting: To securely fasten the panel box to the mounting surface remove the three #8 3/8" (10mm) long
screws holding each side’s retainer plate. Slide the retainer plate inwards along the shaft, out of the way. Pre-drill at least
one hole in the top back corner of each end plate. Make sure to align with a matching hole in the mounting surface if
necessary, such as a masonry anchor in the case of a concrete wall. Secure each end plate with at least one 2" - 3" (50 -
75mm) long screw. For units over 50 lbs (22kg) Rollshutter curtain weight, security applications, or high wind
installations, use two fasteners per end plate as shown. Do not over-tighten the screws to avoid any cracking of the die
cast end plates. Should a crack be discovered, a replacement end plate must be installed. Secure the panel box top with
2" - 3" (50 - 75mm) long screws spaced 16" - 20" (40 - 50cm) along the top corner. To avoid the possibility of tearing
through the sheet aluminum, each screw hole should be reinforced with a large flat washer.
Section 6: Installing the Operator
6.1a) Tape Operator (all types): If the unit's operator runs through a wall, insert the tape tube into the wall and cut to
length. Caulk the upper and lower chambers with silicone to prevent drafts, leaving only the centre slit exposed.
Mount the tape operator directly underneath the control hole at a comfortable height level such as 40" (1.00m) above
ground. If installing the box onto drywall, ensure to use anchors where necessary. If the Rollshutter unit has a pull tape
operator use two screws. Pull several feet of tape out of the box. Insert a flat screwdriver into the box’s exit slit or tie a
slip knot to prevent the spring from reeling the tape back in. In this precise order slip the following items over the tape.
First the plastic cover, then the roller guide and finally the mounting plate, which is optional. Feed the tape through the
tape tube, then attach the roller guide with two 2" - 3" (50 - 75mm) long screws to the wall so that the tape can enter
the hole without rubbing. There are two sizes of pull tape operators. Generally, the taller or heavier units use the large
pull tape operator. If your order contains units with large and small tape operators and you are unsure which operator
belongs to which unit, call the manufacturer. Feed the tape through the roller guide into the Rollshutter unit's panel box.
If the unit's operator runs through a wall, feed the tape through the roller guide and tube into the panel box. Double up
on the end of the tape and push a 3/8" (10mm) long screw through both layers. Attach the screw to the small pre-drilled
hole inside the tape wheel. Ignore the large pre-drilled hole in the tape wheel.

Rollshutter Installation Instructions, 10

While a helper is feeding the tape from the tape operator, start turning the shaft as if the shutter was rolling in a
downward rotational direction. This will result in loading tape onto the tape wheel. Continue until all the tape from the
tape box is used up. Then reverse the process and put approximately 18" (50cm) of tape back into the tape operator.
This will ensure a few windings so that the end of the tape does not tear off its fastening point in- side the operator. If
the operator consists of a pull tape operator, place a large flat screwdriver in the tape exit slit or tie a slip knot to
prevent the spring from reeling the tape back in again.

Rollshutter Installation Instructions, 11

6.1b) Crank Rod Operator: If the operator runs through a wall, insert the universal with the connector through the hole in
the wall and ensure that the square connector inserts into the matching slots inside the gear. The connector will be too
long. Determine the excess length, remove the universal and cut it down to size with a hacksaw. Reinsert the cut-down
connector and attach the universal with two 2”-3” (50-75mm) long screws to the wall. In some cases, at the request of
the dealer, the factory will also supply an auxiliary mounting plate to be placed underneath the universal joint to provide
a stronger mounting plate.
If the operator does not run through a wall the universal joint will be attached directly to the panel box in a similar
manner. Most often the factory has already performed this.
Attach the crank rod. Crank rods are supplied in standard lengths of 68 ¼” and may be cut down to a comfortable size.
There are two styles of crank rod. The removable crank rod has a bell connector and can be slipped on and off the pin
of the universal at any time. The attached crank rod is slipped onto the pin of the universal and attached permanently
with the supplied expansion pin. Finally, attach the crank rod holder onto the wall with two 2" - 3" (50 - 75mm) long
screws. The holder keeps the rod in place when not being used. If the crank was attached to a motor with manual
override proceed to Section 7.
Once the crank is attached to a built-in gear, perform the following test to determine the type of gear in the panel box
and repeat the test for each Rollshutter in the job. Grab the shaft with both hands and attempt to turn it either way. If
the shaft can be moved in just one direction it is an A.B.S. gear (Anti-Block System) and you can proceed to the next
section. However, if the shaft cannot be moved at all, it is a gear with a built-in limit. Now turn the crank so that the top
of the shaft rotates in the down direction towards the back of the panel box. Continue until it reaches a limit in the gear
that prevents any further cranking. Normally the factory has pre-set the shaft rotations so that it is already at or very
near the built-in limit. This will later constitute the lower limit of the Rollshutter operation and will prevent anyone from
over-cranking the unit downwards.
6.1C) Spring-Loaded Operation: Proceed to Section 7.
6.1d) Motor Operator:
Important Notes: Most tubular Rollshutter motors operate on a volt- age of 120 Volts AC or more. In all States and
Provinces, regulations require that certified electricians perform all electrical hook-ups. The manufacturer strongly
recommends that all regulations be obeyed. Motorized units can be ordered with a variety of switching systems. Wiring

Rollshutter Installation Instructions, 12
©Copyright TALIUS
diagrams for such systems are available upon request or can be found on mytalius.com. Under no circumstances should
the installer deviate from the wiring diagrams and change items or hook-up patterns. Never use any electrical
components that were not supplied by the manufacturer. Never connect wires of two or more tubular motors
together, unless specifically instructed on certain motor types. Tubular motors are highly specialized units with custom
designed switching mechanisms. Even simple looking items are specifically designed for these units. Any changes will
almost certainly result in catastrophic damage! Over the years we have seen motorized units damaged by
electricians who believed they comprehended the principles behind tubular motors. It is very tempting to see a simple
design in the motor configuration, but this is wrong. The description supplied with this job does not contain enough
information to explain the intricacies of a tubular motor and it cannot be deduced from the components! Finally, it is
essential that each Rollshutter dealer own a set of motor tester cables which can be obtained from the factory.
If the motor operator is equipped with a manual override begin by looking up Section 6.1a for the installation of the
manual override crank rod. If the motor is located in a panel box and fitted with a metal retainer plate, slide the retainer
plate away to clear access to the motor. Hook up the tester cables by matching the colour coded clamps to the
coloured wire ends. If a tester cable is not available have the electrician hook up the motor to the switching mechanism
as outlined in the wiring diagram. From this point on in the installation it is imperative that the motor is located fully
inside the shaft. Especially on rolling doors, ensure that the crown is securely located between the notch in the motor's
drum and the shaft. The shaft must be secured so that it cannot slide sideways, which requires that the clamp bolt on
the adjustable socket, if so outfitted, is screwed tight while pushing the socket against the end of the shaft. Switch the
tester cable so that the top of the shaft turns in the downward direction towards the panel box. Continue until the
motor comes to a stop by itself. The shaft has now reached what will later be its lower limit. The factory normally
presets the shaft so that it starts out already at or close to the lower limit. Therefore, the motor may not even have
operated at all or only for a very brief moment.

Section 7: Hanger Installation
Unpack the Rollshutter curtain. If the Rollshutter is spring-loaded, count the number of layers in the roll. Note the
number here: . This information will be used in section 10.
7.1a) Steel Hangers: Slide the T-shaped metal hangers onto the first profile at the top of the curtain. Use at least one
hanger for every 16" (40cm) of width and space them evenly. Similarly, if there are plastic spacer rings on the shaft
distribute them evenly as well. Later the hangers will be attached to the shaft between these rings.
7.1b) Hanger Locks: Slide the Talius hanger locks onto the top profile of the rollshutter curtain, spacing them evenly and
no further than 16” in from the end.
Section 8: Stopper Installation
NOTE: If the Rollshutter unit is motorized there will be no stoppers needed, proceed to next section.
Determine which type of stoppers the factory has supplied. There are three possibilities:
8.1a) Concealed stoppers with swivel head: Insert one on each side of the bottom profile with the head swiveled flush in
line with the bottom of the stopper.
8.1b) Concealed stoppers with fixed head: Do not install until Section 11.

Rollshutter Installation Instructions, 14
©Copyright TALIUS
8.1c) Surface stoppers: Drill two holes approximately Ø1/4" (Ø7mm) diameter about 3" (75mm) from the ends of the
bottom profile, close to the top. Do not install until Section 11.
Section 9: Loading the Curtain into the Guide Rails
Slide the Rollshutter curtain carefully over the shaft fully into the guide rails. It is recommended to cover the shaft with
plastic or cardboard to prevent scratching of the curtain. If there is no natural sill for the curtain to rest on, proceed to
Section 12 to install the sill before feeding the curtain over the shaft. If the Rollshutter was supplied with concealed
stoppers with fixed heads (Section 8.1b), once the curtain is in the rails and the hangers have been attached to the shaft
in Section 10, the sill may need to be removed to allow for stopper installation in Section 11.
Section 10: Attaching Curtain to the Shaft
In most cases the Rollshutter will be supplied with an octagonal galvanized steel shaft.
10.1) If the Rollshutter is spring-loaded, the spring needs to be pre- loaded now. If the rollshutter is not spring
loaded (torsion spring operated) proceed to 10.2 a or b. From the relaxed state, turn the shaft (which includes
the spring) by hand in the "down" direction by the number of layers that had been previously counted in Section 8 plus
one additional turn. Carefully hold the shaft while the hangers are being attached. It is recommended to wear protective
gloves.

Rollshutter Installation Instructions, 15
©Copyright TALIUS
10.2a) Steel Hangers: Bend each hanger over from behind the shaft to the front. Slightly twist the end of the hanger so
that the square tab-end slides into the narrow, stubby slot on the shaft. This will hold the hangers securely in place.
If the Rollshutter is spring loaded, the curtain should now easily roll-up with some manual assistance. It should not fly up
abruptly on its own! If this happens detach the curtain hangers, then increase or decrease the pulling strength by
preloading the spring more or less, it is recommended to wear protective gloves.
When all the hangers have been installed there should be at least one hanger for every 16” (40cm) of width, spaced
evenly. If there are plastic spacer rings on the shaft they should be distributed evenly as well. The hangers should be
attached to the shaft between the rings.
10.2b) Hanger Locks: Place a 2”x4” block at the bottom of the rollshutter resting on the ground of the sill before sliding
the entire curtain into the guide rails. Note: Talius hanger locks are shorter than regular hangers. Therefore,
you must rest the rollshutter curtain on the 2”x 4”block to ensure that the rollshutter curtain rests
higher in the panel box thus giving you easier access the top profile on the rollshutter curtain to attach
the Talius hanger locks. Failure to use the 2” x 4”' block will result in the curtain sliding further down
into the guide rails, thus making it very difficult to attach the Talius hanger locks and affix them to the
shaft. Place the white hanger lock rings over the shaft, one on either side of each hanger lock. The end of the ring with
the “hook” on it should be on the back side of the shaft. Clip the hanger lock mounting lug into a rectangular hole in the
shaft. Engage the “hook” of the ring into the slot in the rear of the hanger lock, bring the two ends of the rings together
and tighten as fully as possible.

Section 11: Activating Rollshutter Stoppers
11.1a) Rollshutter equipped with concealed stoppers with swivel heads: Use a screwdriver to turn the heads perpendicular to
the bottom profile.
11.1b) Rollshutter equipped with concealed stoppers with fixed heads. Three methods of insertion:
i) Let the curtain hang beneath the bottom of the guide rails and insert the stoppers.
ii) If the above method is not feasible unscrew the bottom of one guide rail and pull it away from the opening.
Once the bottom profile is exposed insert the stopper. Repeat this for the other side.

Rollshutter Installation Instructions, 17

iii) If equipped with two-part safe guide rails, simply insert the stoppers before installing the guide rail caps.
Attach the rounded-top rail cap to the vertical guide rail mount by first clipping the outside hooks together,
then pressing the inside hooks together until they snap closed. Start at the bottom and move upwards.
11.1c) Rollshutter equipped with surface stoppers: Attach them now with the supplied bolts and washers in the pre-drilled
locations.
Section 12: Sill Installation
If the Rollshutter or Rollshutter has a natural sill to rest on or is mounted at the floor level such as in the case of a
rolling door or many patio doors, proceed to the next section. Use the manual operator to lift the curtain halfway up.
For electric Rollshutters use the tester cable switch. L-sill should be installed below the rails, U-sill should be installed
between the rails. Install the sill with 2" - 3" (50 - 75mm) long screws. Space the screws every 16" (40cm) or less. If
using a U-sill for extra security, drill a sufficient number of weep holes through the bottom for water/moisture drainage

Section 13: Limit Setting for Motorized Operators
This section shows the limit switch adjustment for motorized Rollshutters. If your unit is manually operated proceed to
the next section.
13.1a) Somfy RTS Motors: When you receive your Rollshutter with a Somfy RTS motor the unit will come with a pre-
program transmitter in user mode. To adjust the limits follow the simple steps below. If you have a multi-channel
transmitter, select the channel corresponding to the unit that you are adjusting and follow these steps, which unit
corresponds to which channel is chosen at the time of ordering. If you have more then one unit on a single channel,
power must be disconnected to additional units so that only 1 unit has power. After isolating a single unit, preform the
limit adjustment steps below for each unit.
Step One: Adjusting the Upper Limit
-Move the motor to its current upper limit position and let it stop
-Press the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously on the transmitter until the motor jogs, then release
-Adjust to a new upper limit position
-Press the STOP button until the motor jogs, then release
-Check that the limit is in the desired position
Step Two: Adjusting the Lower Limit
-Move the motor to its current lower limit position and let it stop
-Press the UP and Down buttons simultaneously on the transmitter until the motor jogs, then release
-Adjust to a new lower limit position
-Press the STOP button until the motor jogs, then release
-Check that the limit is in the desired position

16.1b) Elero Standard Limit Motors
Warning: Do not attempt to adjust the limit switches without reading these instructions! There is a
considerable chance that parts within the motor will be broken if adjustment procedures are not
followed. Limit switch adjustments can be done with a tester cable but a proper hook-up to electrical
switching systems must be performed by a licensed electrician. Note that turning the limit switches
towards the “-” sign causes the most common motor damage. Read and follow the following
instructions on how to make adjustments in this direction in particular.
General: Electrical Rollshutter units are operated by tubular motors housed inside the unit's shaft at one end. The
motor can be located by looking for the wires leading to the Rollshutter unit. Each motor has two internal limit
switches. The function of the "upper" limit switch is to cut off power to the motor when the unit has reached the
completely rolled-up position. The function of the "lower" limit switch is to cut off power to the motor when the unit
has reached the completely rolled-down position. Since every Rollshutter unit is different it is necessary to adjust the
limit switches according to the following instructions.
Identifying The Limit Switches: There are two limit switches located on a motor. Mostly they are plainly visible, turnable
switches with gear-tooth dials. On manual-override motors they are deeply recessed into the motor and are adjusted
with a 5/32" (4mm) hexagonal Allen wrench.
One general hint for the following instructions: If it is difficult to understand which direction of the shaft means "up" or
"down", imagine how the curtain will roll up onto the shaft when it is attached. Facing the removable lid side of the
Rollshutter unit during installation, the curtain will come from below the shaft, then behind it, then up and over towards
the front as it rolls up.

Rollshutter Installation Instructions, 20
©Copyright TALIUS
Turnable Limit Switches: Next to each limit switch there is a large arrow, plus two smaller arrows of which one is labelled
with a "+" sign and one with a "-" sign. The large arrow corresponds to the rotation of the shaft in that direction ("up"
or "down" direction of the unit). It means that the limit switch next to that large arrow is responsible for shut- ting off
the motor in that direction.
Lower Limit Adjustment
Note: The Rollshutter curtain is attached to the shaft at this time and somewhere near the fully closed position.
In this section, only work with the limit switch that corresponds to the "down" direction.
Switch and hold the tester cable so that the motor has power for running the shaft in the "down" direction. The motor
will not actually move since the lower limit switch has cut off power previously. Turn the limit switch towards the "+"
sign. After a little bit of turning the motor will start and then come to a stop. Continue turning the limit switch towards
the "+" sign until the shaft is at the correct position. Stop applying power. The lower limit is set.
Problem: The "down" limit is set further than desired.
Solution: Switch the tester cable to the "up" direction and run the curtain up about 2 feet (60 cm). Stop the Rollshutter
by switching the tester cable to "stop". Turn the "down" limit switch towards the "-" sign for 3 to 5 rotations while the
shutter is going down. Let the Rollshutter go down until the limit switch stops it. Continue to apply power. The
Rollshutter stopped sooner than required. Now turn the limit switch towards the "+" sign and let the motor follow in
small jumps until it reaches the correct position.
Warning: If the motor is stopped at the lower limit and the limit switch is turned towards the "-" sign. If this is done,
parts inside the motor will be cracked and the damage may not become apparent until quite some time later when the
limit fails and the Rollshutter continues to run indefinitely.
Upper Limit Adjustment
Note: In this section, only work with the limit switch that corresponds to the "up" direction.
Turn the limit switch towards the "-" sign about 15 turns while running up. Let the motor run until it reaches the limit
and stops on its own. At this point the Rollshutter curtain should be somewhere between fully "up" and fully "down". If
the motor didn't stop before the curtain reached the fully "up" position, stop the motor with the tester cable, run the
motor down again and turn the limit switch 5 - 10 more turns towards the "-" sign. Repeat running the motor up again.
Even though the motor has now stopped, continue to apply power through the tester cable. Turn the limit switch
towards the "+" sign. After a little bit of turning the motor will start and then come to a stop. Continue turning the
limit switch towards the "+" sign until it reaches the point where the bottom profile is just fully inserted in the guide
rails. Stop applying power. The upper limit is set.
Problem: The "up" limit is set higher than desired.
Solution: Switch the tester cable to the "down" direction and run the curtain down about 2 feet (60 cm). Stop the
Rollshutter by switching the tester cable to "stop". Turn the "up" limit switch towards the "-" sign for 3 to 5 turns.
Switch the tester cable to "up". Let the motor go up until the limit switch stops it.
Continue to apply power, the Rollshutter stopped sooner than required. Now turn the limit switch towards the "+" sign
and let the motor follow in small jumps until it reaches the desired position.
Warning: If the motor is stopped at the lower limit and the limit switch is turned towards the "+" sign. If this is done,
parts inside the motor will be cracked and the damage may not become apparent until quite some time later when the
limit fails and the Rollshutter continues to run indefinitely.
