1. Safety precautions
WARNING!
Important safety information.
Follow these instructions to ensure the safety of persons.
The instructions must be stored.
– Contact a professional electrician to install the motor, because
the motor requires a power supply of 230VAC, 50 Hz.
– Check the motor for signs of mechanical damage after un-
packing. If you notice any shipping damage, do not start up
the motor and notify your supplier immediately.
– The motor should only be used for the purpose specified by
the manufacturer (refer to the operating instructions). Any
changes or modifications thereof are not permissible and will
result in loss of all warranty claims.
– Technical data can be found on the type label of the tubular
motor.
– If the motor cannot be operated without presenting a hazard,
it must be switched off and prevented from being switched
on unintentionally.
– When performing work on the windows, motor or connected
shades, protect them against unauthorised or unintentional
operation.
– Moving parts of the motor installed under 2.5m above the
floor level should be protected.
– This motor is not intended for use by persons (including chil-
dren) with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities or
lack of experience and/or lack of knowledge, unless they are
supervised by a person responsible for their safety, or re-
ceived instructions on how the device is to be used.
– Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the device.
– Children are not allowed, to play with fixed controls. Keep
remotes away from children.
– The installation has to be checked frequently for imbalance
or of signs of wear, damaged cables or springs, if applicable.
– Automatically controlled awnings have to be disconnected
from the supply network, e.g. if maintenance work has to be
done close to them.

– Before the motor is installed, all unneeded wires must be
removed and all devices which are not required for actuation
with a power drive must be put out of operation.
– The actuating element of a hand release is to be installed at
a height of less than 1.8 m.
– The mains cable of this device cannot be replaced. If the
mains cable is damaged, the device has to be discarded.
ATTENTION!
Pay attention to the following European guidelines:
– The cables must conform to the applicable VDE standard.
– If installing motors with a PVC H05VV-F cable, the cable on
surface-mounted outdoor installations and recessed-mounted
installations must be protected by a cable conduit or cable duct.
– When installing the motor an all-pole disconnection with a
contact gap of at least 3 mm per pole must be provided.
– The up and down directions of the switch resp. button must
be electrically or mechanically locked against each other.
The changeover time for changing the running direction
(up/down) must be least 0.5 sec.
Ä
ATTENTION!
– Follow the safety instructions according to EN 60335-2-97.
– Additional components for the implementation of the installa-
tion, such as adaptors and brackets must be chosen among
those offered by the producer. These products are listed in
the catalogue supplied on request.
– When mounting the drive always use the safest and most
suitable tubular motor and mounting bracket.
– For automatically actuated awnings a minimum gap of 0.4 m
to other parts in the area must be maintained when the awn-
ing is fully extended. By using as an awning system the ex-
tended awning must mainain a minimum height of 1.8 m.
Ä
WARNING!
Risk of injury due to improper installation and commissioning.
Improper installation and commissioning may lead to personal inju-
ry or property damage.
Therefore:
– When connecting the device, observe the currently valid VDE
standards (in particular DIN VDE 0100/0700), your local pow-
er company’s regulations and the current accident prevention
regulations.
– Connect the motor in accordance with the wiring diagram.
– It is important for the safety of professional electricians to follow
the user instructions. Please keep instructions for reference.

Electronic limit position setting with Installation tool
How to connect to an Installation tool (VL-Progset-ME/SMI-230/Art.-no.: 54185775).
IMPORTANT!
– Switch off the power supply. Connect the wire of the motor to the terminal
clamps of the installation tool.
– It is important that the motor-wire-colors correspond with the installa-
tion-tool-wire-colors, otherwise the motor turning direction could be set
incorrect. Switch on the power supply.
– The installation tool is not suitable for continuous operation and has only
been used for set the limit position.
Ä
– The connection cable should be installed in an conduit to the junction
box, in compliance with the local building and electrical regulations.
Avoid any contact between moving objects and connection cables by
routing the cables according to figure 1.
– Move the roller shutter or screen completely down before disconnecting
the tube connectors.
– Dissasembly of tubular shaft.
– Place the mounting bracket to the desired position. Assembly of the
motor can be performed on both sides.
– Slide the Adapter ring (A) on the adjustment ring (B). Be aware of the
correct installation of the notch with the Adapter (D), (figure 2).
– Place the tube adapter (E) on to the motor axle (F) and secure it with the
safety clip (G) that comes within the mounting-kit.
– Be careful when sliding the tubular motor completely into the tubular
shaft, until the adapter ring is covered into the tubular shaft, (figure 3).
Under no circumstances external force should be applied to the motor
in any way.
– Place the motor head and tubular shaft into the mounting bracket and
check for proper fit. Secure the square pin of the motor head with the
safety cotter that comes with the mounting-kit. Make sure to install the
motor in a position that the adjustment screws are accessible from the
outside.

ATTENTION!
– The motor starts to move with a short delay time during
installationphase, when no limit positions are set.
–Conditions to use the physical (automatic) limit posi-
tion settings: The upper limit stop has to be installed.
Ä
Changing motor turning direction
– Hold down the button or to
check the motor turning direction.
– When the motor reacts in opposite direc-
tion (when motor goes down when you
press up and vice-versa), you need to
change the motor direction. Motor direc-
tion can only be changed during installa-
tion phase, when no limit positions are set.
– Press the button shortly.
– The red LED starts blinking as long
as the change motor turning direction
process is in progress.

NOTE!
Tubular motor might be switched off before reaching the limit
position:
Extraordinary large increases of load (anti-block-function) –
obstacles, sunshade system keeps jamming, tubular motor is
overloaded.
Remedy action:
– Removing the obstacle.
– Check the mechanical parts of the sunshade system.
– Use the correct tubular motor (rated torque – tractive power)
according the spezification of the sunshade system.

7. Troubleshooting
Problem Possible cause Solution
Motor is not responding. 1. No mains voltage. 1. Check mains voltage.
2. Connection error. 2. Check connections (see wiring diagram).
3. Cutoff by internal temperature fuse. 3. Allow the motor to cool down for 20 min.
Motor starts slowly or makes too
much noise.
1. Connection error. 1. Check connections.
2. Installation error or undersized motor selected. 2. Check installation and motor load.
Motor rotation direction is wrong. Motor connection cables are reversed. Disconnect the supply line from the power, and swap
the black and brown conductors of the motor cable at
the controller.
Motor stops while moving up or
downwards.
1. Preset endpoint reached. 1. Set the end limits again, according to the instructions.
2. Cutoff by internal temperature fuse. 2. Allow the motor to cool down for 20 min.
Motor stops while moving upwards. Iced shutters or obstacle in running rail. Remove icing or obstacle. Release the shutters by
steering the motor in downward direction.
The motor is maintenance-free.
9. Maintenance
