Mounting the roller shutter drive
Attention
Drives from Becker Antriebe are to be mounted and operated 
solely  with  mechanical  accessory  components  shown  in  the 
current Becker product catalogue.
Prior to mounting, the tter must ensure that the masonry and the shutter box 
are sufciently robust (drive torque plus weight of the shutters).
Caution
These drives may not be operated with conventional switching 
elements (switches, timers or similar).
If the roller shutters are to be operated in the opposite direc-
tion to the upper stopper, the shutters must be stopped from 
being wound up into the shutter box by stoppers or by a right-
angled end slat. We recommend tting covered stoppers into 
the guide rails prior to mounting.
1.  The lateral spatial requirements  (M) for  the box  end, the  counter bearing 
and the motor bearing must be determined in order to calculate the required 
length of the roller tube. The length (L) of the roller tube is equal to the clear 
dimensions of  the  roller shutter box  (X)  minus the  total  length of  the  wall 
bracket, box end (M) and counter bearing (G): L=X-(G+M) (Fig. 2).
  Measure  the  distance  from the  wall  bracket  and  connecting  head  as  this 
may vary depending on the drive and bearings used.
2.  Secure the wall bracket and the counter bearing.
Attention
If anti-lifting devices are being used, closed bearings must be 
used. When the shutters are closed, the tubular drive pushes 
the shutters downwards to prevent them from being raised or 
forced open. Always use suitably robust shutters, for example 
made of aluminium, steel or wooden. To prevent the shutters 
from being damaged the entire shutter must run in guide rails.
To install the drive, the following instructions must be followed carefully:
•  Removing the mounting pin
  The  mounting pin  engages automatically  when  inserted.  To  remove  the 
mounting pin slide the bearer plate upwards and pull out the mounting pin 
(Fig. 3).
•  Mounting  the  drive  adapter  with  safety  catch  R8/17C  PRF+  to 
R20/17C PRF+:
  The insert direction for the drive adapter is determined by the drive adapter 
type (shape). When inserting the drive adapter with safety catch ensure that 
the catch engages with the location lug. You will hear a clicking sound when 
the drive adapter has engaged properly. Pull lightly on the drive adapter to 
ensure that it has been tted securely (Fig. 4).
•  Mounting the drive adapter with screw connection R30/17C PRF+ to 
R40/17C PRF+:
  In  this  case  the  drive  adapter  is  fastened  with a  M6x12 screw, which  is 
secured  by  a  M6 plain  washer  and  a  corresponding  toothed  lock  washer  
(Fig. 4).

centre of the drive adapter and mark on the barrel (Fig. 5).
