Safety instructions

Risk of fatal electric shock when touching electrical components.

The electrical connection for the tubular motor and all work on the electrical systems may only be undertaken by an authorised qualified electrician in accordance with the connection diagrams in the operating manual.
Carry out all installation and connection work only in an isolated, de-energised state.

Risk of fatal electric shock when installed incorrectly in damp rooms!

Observe DIN VDE 0100, parts 701 and 702 in particular, when installing in damp rooms. These regulations contain mandatory protective measures.

The use of defective devices can lead to personal injury and damage to property (electric shocks, short circuiting).

Never use defective or damaged devices.
Check the drive and mains cable beforehand for damage.
Should you discover damage to the device, please consult our customer service.

According to DIN EN 13659, it is necessary to determine that the movement conditions for the shutters are maintained in accordance with EN 12045.

The displacement must be of at least 40 mm on the lower edge in the rolled-out position with a force of 150 N in the upwards direction.
It is important to ensure that the extending speed of the shutters for the final 0.4 m is less than 0.15 m/s.

There is also a risk of fatal injury from crushing resulting from uncontrolled starting of the drive.

Never attempt to manually stop the motor/shutter in the event of uncontrolled movement.
In such cases, switch off all power to the drive and take appropriate safety precautions to prevent any further start-up.
Arrange to have the system checked by a skilled electrician.

Exceeding the maximum permissible running time (KB = transient operation) may overload the tubular motor.

The maximum permissible running time for a run may not be exceeded when the equipment is in operation. For this reason, the tubular motor has a running time limit (KB = transient operation) of four minutes.
If the running time limit is triggered, then the tubular motor must be left for at least 20 minutes to cool down.

Incorrect use leads to an increased risk of injury.

Train all people to safely use the tubular motor.
Do not allow children to play with fixed controllers and keep remote controls away from children.
Cleaning and user maintenance may not be carried out by children without supervision.

For roller shutters:

Watch the moving roller shutter whilst carrying out the settings and keep other people away from the area to avoid injury in the event of sudden slippage of the shutter.
Watch the moving roller shutter during operation and keep other people away from the area until the movement has been completed.
Carry out all cleaning work on the roller shutter whilst the device is disconnected from the mains power.

For awning systems which can be operated out of sight of the operator:

The awning may not be operated if work is being carried out nearby (e.g. windows being cleaned).

For automatically actuated awnings:

Disconnect the awning from the power supply if work is being carried out nearby.

A lack of maintenance can lead to personal injury through damage to your tubular motor and roller shutter or awning system:

Please check all of your roller shutter system components regularly for damage.
Check regularly that the roller shutter system is functioning correctly.
The shutter must not be damaged.
Damaged components should be exchanged by a specialist roller shutter firm.

For awning systems:

Check the awning regularly for poor balance or damaged lines and springs.
Have damaged awnings repaired by a specialist awning firm.

**** Intended use

Only use the tubular motors for opening and closing standard flat roller shutters and awnings.
The use of the wrong tubular motors or components can lead to property damage.

The motor cable must therefore be fitted with a suitable empty tube up to the respective junction box under observation of local electrical regulations, if installed outside.
Only use the manufacturer’s original parts and accessories.
Only use tubular motors which correspond to the local conditions in terms of their power. Incorrectly dimensioned tubular motors can lead to damage:

An insufficiently dimensioned tubular motor can be damaged due to overloading.
An excessively dimensioned tubular motor can, for example, cause damage to the roller shutter or roller shutter box in self-learning mode.
Consult a specialist retailer when selecting a tubular motor and observe the corresponding tractive force specifications on our website: www.rademacher.de

The roller shutter must run up and down smoothly. It should not jam.

For radio tubular motors :

The installation and operation of the radio tubular motor is only permitted for systems and devices where a malfunction in the transmitter or receiver would not cause a danger to people or property or where this risk is already covered by other safety equipment.

** Radio systems that transmit on the same frequency can cause interference.
4.2 Operating conditions for self-learning mode**

The roller shutter must be fitted with stoppers or an end-rail.
Otherwise, the end points must be set manually in the conventional way.

Using the tubular motor for any purposes other than those previously mentioned is impermissible.
Never use the tubular motor in systems with increased safety-relevant requirements or where there is an increased risk of accidents.

Applications of this kind require additional safety equipment. Observe the respective statutory regulations for the installation of such systems.

Never use the tubular motor in continuous operation. Doing so will cause serious damage.
Never use the tubular motor for shutters with openings ≥ 50 mm in diameter.
Never use the DuoFern Radio System and its components for the remote control of appliances and systems with increased safety-relevant requirements or where there is an accident risk.

Applications of this kind require additional safety equipment. Observe the respective statutory regulations for the installation of systems of this kind.

Expert knowledge required of the installer

The installation, electrical connection and maintenance must be carried out by a qualified person with appropriate training or by a specialist roller shutter firm in accordance with the instructions in the operating and assembly manual (link to the website, see cover page).

Safety functions

Blockage detection
Moving a blocked (e.g. iced-up/jammed) roller shutter may overload and damage the tubular motor and roller shutter system.

Do not move the iced-up/jammed roller shutter and rectify the fault or remove the obstacle.

**** Safety instructions for the installation

Preparation for the installation

Never dismantle the stoppers from the final roller shutter slat. Otherwise the roller shutter may slip through into the roller shutter box and be damaged.

Risk of fatal injury from crushing in the event of operation without set end points.

The end points must be set in order to ensure safe operation.

Incorrect installation can lead to injuries (impact injuries and contusions).

The motor can eject from the drive bearings in the event of incorrect installation/fastening. Fasten the tubular motor with the securing devices provided.

Installing the tubular motor at an angle can cause the tubular motor or roller shutter to be damaged. For example, a roller shutter wound at an angle can block the drive and cause damage.

Always ensure that the tubular motor and bearings are mounted horizontally.
Please ensure that the winding shaft and the roller shutter can move down easily and freely after the installation is complete.
The roller shutter may not run over the bearings, the roller capsule or the drive head during operation.
Ensure that the winding shaft and the rigid shaft connectors do not touch the drive. They may not rub against the tubular motor during operation.

For automatically actuated awnings:

A minimum gap of 0.4 m to other parts in the area must be maintained when the awning is fully extended.
Awnings used in an awning system must maintain a minimum height of 1.8 m.

Incorrectly dimensioned drives and counter bearings can cause the roller shutter system to be damaged.

Only use original bearings supplied by the manufacturer. Third-party drives and counter bearings must be selected in accordance with the torque specifications of the respective tubular motors.

There is a risk of injury through falling when working at heights.

Take suitable measures to ensure safe working at heights.
Ensure that ladders or scaffolding stand securely.

There is a risk of short circuiting and fire in the event of direct weather influences to the unprotected tubular motor.

The installed tubular motor may never be subjected to direct rain or snow, as this may lead to life-threatening situations due to short circuiting and damage to the motor.
Only install the tubular motor in awning systems where the motor is structurally protected from direct rain or snow.
If necessary, install a suitable hood for the tubular motor.

ATTENTION! – Inserting the tubular motor forcibly into the winding shaft will cause serious damage.

Never knock the tubular motor into the winding shaft with force.

ATTENTION! –

Ensure that the adapter does not slip off the magnetic ring on the drive head during the installation process. Otherwise malfunctions may occur.
The motor must always be pushed fully into the winding shaft. The length compensation or correction is set with the position of the roller capsule.

ATTENTION! – Drilling and inserting screws in the area of the drive will cause the drive to be damaged.

Never drill in the area of the drive or insert screws in order to secure the roller shutter.

ATTENTION! – For motors with a freewheel mechanism (obstacle detection): Drilling too deeply may break the freewheel mechanism.

Never drill deeper than 10 mm into the catch. Screws or rivets that are too long interfere with the freewheel mechanism.
Do not use screws longer than 10 m.

ATTENTION! – For motors in self-learning mode:
The roller shutter may run into the roller shutter box in self-learning mode and be damaged without stoppers or an end rail.

Always fit two stoppers or an end-rail to the roller shutter.
Never dismantle the mechanical stoppers or the end rail from the final roller shutter slat.

WARNING!
Risk of short circuiting resulting from water in the event of improper cabling.

Never lay the motor cable vertically upwards otherwise water may collect on the cable and run into the motor, possibly leading to damage.
Lay the cable in a loop. The loop will cause any water on the cable to collect at the lowest point, from where it can drain off.

ATTENTION! – Wrongly selected lengths may lead to malfunctions. *

Follow the information provided in the assembly manual for shaft connectors

**** Safety instructions for the electrical connection

DANGER!
Risk of fatal electric shock when touching electrical components.

Carry out all installation and connection work only in a de-energised state.
Disconnect all phases of the mains power lead and secure it to prevent any reconnection.
Check that the system is de-energised.

Fixed-installation devices… … must be equipped on the installation side with a circuit breaker for each phase in accordance with DIN VDE 0700. Switches with a contact opening width of min. 3 mm can be used as circuit breakers (e.g. a power switch, power circuit breaker or residual-current- operated circuit breaker).
WARNING!
Risk of short circuiting resulting from damaged cables.

Lay all cables in the roller shutter box so that they cannot be damaged by moving machinery.
The mains connection for the drive may only be connected with the same conduction type. Consult customer services if necessary.

**** Manual setting of end points

WARNING!
Risk of fatal injury (electric shock) caused by tearing off the motor cable.

• Ensure that the motor cable is not taken up by the winding shaft and torn off during the setting process.

Important conditions for setting the end points and for safe operation.

End points must be set in order to switch off the motor when they are reached for both directions of travel, up ( )/down ( ).
The tubular motor must be fully installed.
There must be a suitably fixed limit (e.g. window sill) in the area of the lower end point if the end point is to be configured automatically.

CAUTION!
Risk of crushing injuries to the hand when working with the roller shutter box open.

Never reach into the area of the winding shaft when the motor is running.

ATTENTION!
The roller shutter may be damaged in case of incorrect manual setting of the end points.

Never dismantle the mechanical stoppers or the end rail from the final roller shutter slat.
Do not knock against the mechanical stoppers and maintain a safety gap of 2 – 3 cm.

Test run / modifying the end points

ATTENTION!
The tubular motors are designed for transient operation (approx. 4 min.).
If this period is exceeded, or if the equipment is switched over frequently, then the motor may heat up and the thermal protection system will switch it off.

• In this case, allow the motor to cool down for 20 minutes.

Modifying the end points
Move the roller shutter back to the centre position and begin the process again.
