3. 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
and in accordance with the connection diagrams
in these instructions, see page 57 bis 59.
◆
Carry out all installation and connection work only
in an isolated, de-energised state.
The use of defective equipment can lead to per-
sonal 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 equipment,
please consult our customer service department,
see page 72.
There is also a risk of fatal injury from crush-
ing resulting from uncontrolled starting of the
drive.
◆
Never attempt to manually stop the motor/awning
in the event of uncontrolled movement.
◆
In such cases, switch off all power to the drive and
take appropriate safety precautions to prevent
unintentional switching on.
◆
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..
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. In order to do so, please refer to the
corresponding chapters 9. and 10. on page 61.
Incorrect use leads to an increased risk of injury.
◆
Train all personnel to safely use the tubular motor.
◆
Do not allow children to play with the fixed con-
trollers and keep remote controls away from
children.
◆
Cleaning and user maintenance may not be car-
ried out by children without supervision.
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 or cleaning work
is being performed on the awning.
A lack of maintenance can lead to personal injury
through damage to your tubular motor and awn-
ing system:
◆
Please check your awning system for damage.
◆
Check the awning regularly for poor balance or
damaged lines and springs.
◆
Have damaged awnings or components repaired
or replaced by a specialist awning firm.
Contact with the drive housing can cause burns.
◆
The tubular motor gets hot during operation. Al-
low the motor to cool down prior to undertaking
any further work on the motor.
◆
Never touch the hot drive housing.
