Assembly and Operating Instructions
Intended use
The R8/17C PR+ - R40/17C PR+ tubular drives are intended solely for use in roller shutters. The tubular drive supports
not only shutter suspension via springs but also mechanical anti-lifting devices (e.g. Zuruh-Feller, Simu, GAH Alberts and
Deprat). These are detected automatically.
The mains connection cable is not suitable for supporting the weight of the drive. Always support the drive with the housing
tube.
Note
The tubular drives have been designed for use in single systems (one roller shutter per winding shaft and
drive) If several roller shutters are operated on one winding shaft, torque control and correct functioning
of the anti-lifting device are not guaranteed.
Other applications, utilisation and modications are not permitted in order to protect the safety of the users and others, since
these actions can impair the system’s safety, resulting in personal injuries and property damage. Becker-Antriebe shall not
accept liability for damages arising from such actions. Always observe the information in these instructions when operating or
repairing the system. Becker-Antriebe shall not accept liability for damages resulting from incorrect usage.
Important safety instructions for the installation and commissioning
Caution! Failure to observe these instructions can lead to serious injuries.
• Please comply with the safety instructions EN 60335-2-97. Please note that these safety instructions cannot
be assumed as being complete, since this standard does not consider all the possible causes of risk. For exam-
ple, the construction of the operated product, the effectiveness of the drive in the location of installation or the
mounting of the nal product in the end user’s place of usage cannot be taken into consideration by the drive
manufacturer.
If any questions or concerns regarding the safety instructions contained in the standard arise, please contact
the manufacturer of the respective part or end product.
• All operational work, including maintenance and cleaning, on electrical installations as well as other system
parts must always be performed by authorised specialists, especially qualied electricians.
• During operation of electrical or electronic equipment and units, certain components are subject to a hazardous
electrical voltage. Physical injuries or damage to property can result in the event of unqualied interventions or
failure to comply with the warning notices.
• All applicable standards and regulations for the electrical installation must be complied with.
• Only use spare parts, tools and additional equipment which have been approved by the drive manufacturer.
• Unapproved third party products or modications to the system and its accessories represent a risk to your
safety and the safety of others. This means that the utilisation of unapproved third party products, or modica-
tions which have not been agreed with or approved by us are prohibited. We shall not accept liability for dam-
ages arising from such actions.
• Before installation, shut down all lines and control devices that are not essential for operation.
• Position control devices within sight of the driven product at a height of over 1.5 m.
• Stationary mounted control units have to be xed in sight.
• Ensure that there is an adequate distance (at least 40 cm) between moving parts and adjacent objects.
• Nominal torque and duty cycle must be suitable for the requirements of the driven product.
• Technical data nominal torque and service life are located on the type plate of the tubular drive.
• Moveable parts of the drive have to be mounted at a height of more than 2,5 m above ground or on a different
level, which allows access to the drive.
• Crushing or shearing points must be avoided or protected.
• Observe safety distances in accordance with DIN EN 294.
• When installing the drive, an all-pole separation capability from the mains with at least 3 mm contact opening
width per pole must be provided (EN 60335).
• If the mains cable is damaged, it must be replaced with an identical mains cable (pluggable) supplied by the
drive manufacturer.
• Never handle the drive via the mains cable.
• Drives with a H05VV-F connection cable are only to be used inside the building.
• Drives from Becker Antriebe are to be mounted and operated solely with mechanical accessory components
shown in the current Becker product catalogue.
