General Safety Instructions; Proper Use / Operational Conditions; Incorrect Use - RADEMACHER X-line Handbuch

General safety instructions

Danger due to electric shock when working on all electrical systems.
◆ 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 pages 57/58/59).
◆ Always undertake mounting and connection work with the equipment disconnected
from the mains power.
Mortal danger in the event of failure to observe these instructions!
Observe the regulations regarding installation in damp rooms.
Especially observe DIN VDE 0100, parts 701 and 702 when installing in damp rooms.
These regulations contain mandatory protective measures.
The use of defective equipment can lead to personal injury and damage
to property (electric shocks, short circuiting).
◆ Never use defective or damaged equipment.
◆ Check the drive and mains cable beforehand for damage.
◆ Consult our customer service department (see page 88) in the event that you discover
damage on the equipment.
According 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 amount to at least 40 mm on the lower edge in the rolled-out
position with a force of 150 N in the upwards direction. In doing so, it must be ensured
that the extending speed of the shutters for the final 0.4m is less than 0.15 m/s.
Potential risk to life and limb resulting from uncontrolled starting of
the drive.
Never attempt to manually stop the motor/shutters 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 specialist engineer.
Exceeding the maximum permissible running time (KB) may overload
the tubular motor.
◆ The maximum permissible running time for a cycle may not be exceeded when the
equipment is in operation. For this reason, the tubular motor has an automatic running
time limit (KB) 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.

Proper use / operational conditions

Only use the tubular motors for opening and closing roller shutters
and awnings.
IMPORTANT
◆ In the event of outside installation the motor cable must be laid on a suitable empty
tube up to the junction box under observation of local electrical regulations.
◆ Only use the manufacturer's original components and accessories.
Only use tubular motors which correspond to the local conditions in
terms of their output. 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 cause damage, for example, to the
roller shutters and roller shutter casing when configuring the automatic end-point
setting.
◆ Consult a specialist dealer when selecting the tubular motor and observe our tractive
force specifications on our Website: www.rademacher.de

Incorrect use

Never use the tubular motor:
For systems with increased safety-relevant requirements or where there is an increased risk
of accidents. Such use would require additional safety equipment. Observe the respective
statutory regulations for the installation of such systems.

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 control units.
◆ This device may be used by children from 8 years of age upwards as well as by
persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities or with lack of experience
and knowledge if they are supervised or have been instructed on how to use the
device safely and if they understand what dangers may resulted from this.
◆ Cleaning and user maintenance may not be carried out by children without supervision.
For roller shutters:
◆ Watch the moving roller shutters and keep other people away from the area until
the movement has completed.
◆ Undertake all cleaning work on the roller shutters with the equipment disconnected
from the mains power.
For awning systems which can be operated out of sight of the operator:
◆ Awnings may not be operated if work is being carried out nearby (e. g. windows
being cleaned).
◆ For automatically actuated awnings:
◆ Awnings must be disconnected from the power supply if work is being carried out
nearby.
Regular maintenance of awnings increases operational reliability.
◆ Regularly check the awnings for poor balance as well as damaged leads and springs.
◆ Have damaged awnings repaired by a specialist firm.
Contact with the drive housing can cause burns.
◆ The tubular motor gets hot during operation. Allow the motor to cool down prior to
undertaking any further work on the motor.
◆ Never touch the hot drive housing.
Operating conditions
◆ A continuous 230 V /50 Hz mains supply must be available at the site of installation
for the electrical connection in combination with on-site switchgear (fusing).
