 for the home motorisation and automation professional 

installing the drive.

2. 1. ASSEMBLY

2. 1. 1. Drive preparation

Make sure that the inner diameter of the tube is at 
least 47 mm.

Fit the accessories necessary to incorporate the drive 
into the winding tube:

Either only the wheel

 on the drive.

Or the ring

 and the wheel

 on the drive.

2) 

Measure the length (

L1

) between the inside edge of 

the drive head and the end of the wheel.

2. 1. 2. Tube preparation

1) 

Cut the winding tube to the desired length depending 
on the product to be motorised.

2) 

Deburr the winding tube and remove all chips.

3) 

For winding tubes that are smooth inside, cut a notch 
to the following dimensions:

Slide the drive into the winding tube. For winding 
tubes that are smooth inside, position the cut notch on 
the protruding part of the ring.

2) 

The wheel must be locked in a straight line inside the 
winding tube:

Either by securing the winding tube to the wheel 
using 4 Ø 5 mm Parker screws or 4 Ø 4.8 mm steel 
pop rivets located between 5 mm and 15 mm from 
the outside edge of the wheel, irrespective of the 
type of winding tube.

The screws or pop rivets must only be fastened on the wheel and not on the drive.

Or by using a wheel lock, for non-smooth tubes.
