What should you do, if...?
Malfunction Cause Solution
Tubular drive is not running. 1.  No transmitter has been programmed.
2.  Transmitter is outwith the range of the 
tubular drive.
3.  Transmitter has been operated outwith the 
range several times.
4.  Batteries in the transmitter have been in-
correctly inserted, not inserted at all or are 
empty.
5.  Faulty electrical connection.
6.  Thermal cut-out function in the tubular 
drive has been activated.
1.  Programme new transmitter.
2.  Move transmitter into the range of the 
tubular drive.
3.  Activate the control or stop button on the 
transmitter at least 5 times.
4.  Insert batteries properly or replace batter-
ies.
5.  Check electrical connection.
6.  Wait 5-10 minutes.
You are unable to change the 
axle direction.
End limits are stored in the tubular drive. Start up the tubular drive via a start command 
and deactivate with a stop command. Then 
delete the end limit settings using the pro-
gramming and stop buttons.
The axle direction is incorrect 
after deleting the end limits.
The axle direction switch is in the wrong posi-
tion.
Slide the axle direction switch to the opposite 
position.
Tubular drive has stopped at 
random and won’t run in the 
given direction.
1.  Tubular drive has detected an assumed 
load.
2.  Tubular drive is overloaded.
1.  Run the drive briey in the opposite direc-
tion, then activate the desired direction 
again.
2.  Use a tubular drive with a greater torque.
Switching times cannot be 
stored in the tubular drive.
The learnt transmitter does not have a 
manual/auto sliding switch.
Use a transmitter with a manual/auto sliding 
switch
Switching times cannot be 
stored in the tubular drive.
1. The manual/auto sliding switch is set to H.
2. Several sliding switch transmitters are pro-
grammed in the tubular drive. One manual/
auto sliding switch is set to H.
1. Adjust the manual/auto sliding switch to U. 
2. Adjust the sliding switch of one transmit-
ter to U. If the sliding switch is already set to 
U, slide the switch briey to H and back to U 
again.
The switching time settings 
keep changing.
Frequent 230V supply voltage interruption. 
Fluctuations in the 50 Hz power frequency.
Tubular drive is not adjusting 
the shutters into the preset 
ventilation and intermediate 
positions.
The upper end limit has been set rst. The end limits have to be reset. Remember to 
set the lower limit rst!
During programming travel 
the drive does not reach the 
limit stop which is to be pro-
grammed.
For safety reasons the drive reacts cautiously 
to unsmooth running during programming 
travel, thus preventing damages.
Briey travel DOWN and subsequently UP until 
you reach the upper limit stop.
