HEATING
Motors and electronic accessories must be fitted in
compliance with the relevant regulations of the appro-
priate manufacturers.
Install the motors according to the relevant regula-
tions of the appropriate manufacturers. Comply with
the maintenance and installation instructions of the
corresponding manufacturers.
With lift motors, pay special attention to power trans-
mission at right angles to ensure trouble-free opera-
tion of the damper. Especially with drive motors which
have high closing speeds, pay special attention to
adequate protection of the movement areas (slats and
linkages) to prevent reaching into the mechanisms.
Responsibility lies with the operator.
RGK models close clockwise as standard.
Only use electrical accessories such as monitoring
sensors, limit switches etc. in the areas specified by the
manufacturer and under specified conditions with our
products. This type of component may only be installed
on separate brackets designed for this. It is prohibited
to drill holes or fit bolts or screws in the damper
frames.
ATEX:
All relevant national and international stand-
ards and regulations for Ex zones must be observed. In
particular, only drive motors, limit switches, sensors
etc. with special approval for use in ATEX zones are
allowed. Responsibility lies with the operator.
ATEX:
All relevant national and international stand-
ards and regulations for Ex zones must be observed. On
dampers with ATEX functionality in particular, the
damper housing must be earthed using the earthing
braids attached by the manufacturer. No mechanical
changes may be made to the product. In addition do
not attach any components (motors, limit switches,
etc.) to the damper if they have not been analyzed for
ignition risk by the appropriate manufacturers or
approved for ATEX zones.
It is prohibited to drill holes or fit bolts or screws in the
interior of the dampers. This could lead to damage or
disturb damper operation. If there is a risk at the fac-
tory that foreign bodies may enter the movement area
of the slats, prevent them by suitable means (filters or
catchment grills). This prevents the slats from sticking
and the possibility of frictional heat developing.

INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
RGK REGLAIR PRECISION CONTROL DAMPERS
The standard version of the control damper with
electric heating is designed for temperatures down to
-20 °C; special versions are available for temperatures
down to -60 °C.
When installing, make sure no mechanical damage is
made to the heating strip. Do not change the cable
routing to the damper and do not manipulate the
cable brackets. Any change or damage may lead to
partial interruptions in heating or the total failure of
the heating strip. Damaged cables must be replaced by
the manufacturer.
The operator is responsible for wiring, controlling and
monitoring the heating strip and this may only be
carried out by qualified staff. The trace heating must
switch off at +3 °C at the latest so that any conden-
sate can dry off before the outside temperature drops
any further. Do not expose the dampers to the weather
when operated under -20 °C. In this case, the sides of
the dampers must be covered to protect the damper
axles from the effects of the weather.
In addition, a weather-proof louvre with additional
trace heating can be installed on the weather side.
Observe the instructions of the appropriate manufac-
turer for wiring and fusing the heating strip.
ATEX:
All relevant national and international stand-
ards and regulations for Ex zones must be observed.
Responsibility lies with the operator. Due to the stricter
safety requirements in ATEX zones, the operator must
inspect the function of the heating cable once a year.
Here we recommend temperature measurements
directly on the heating strip using a tested measuring
instrument.
The specifications below are for verifying the heating
capacity of the heating strip:
