Mounting And Connection - Alutech AM0 Notice

3. MOUNTING AND CONNECTION

Recommended order for mounting the electric motor (see also the illustrated instructions part).
Only a professional electrician may install, connect and commission your electric motor. The
electrician must be fully aware of all specific features of your local electric network.
Please, keep this Operation Manual throughout the entire life of the product.
The instructions provided in this Operation Manual should be qualified as basic sample guidance since
mounting spots and your installation kit may vary. The installer is fully responsible for finding the most
appropriate mounting solution.
Make sure the roller shutter is in working condition, and is suitable for automation with selected electric motor.
Check whether the curtain of your roller shutter moves smoothly along the guide rails.
Mounting spot must be easily accessible. Before you start the installation, clean up your working zone, remove
all unnecessary tools (such as cables, wires, cords, etc.) and switch off all electric devices not required in the
process of installation.
When choosing the length of fasteners (such as screws, rivets, etc.), ensure no contact between such elements
and the body of the electric drive. The fasteners should not obstruct the mounting, and manual emergency
controller must be easily accessible at all times.
Ensure full visibility of your shutter system from the location of shutter control unit. The controller has to be
mounted within safe distance from moving parts of the shutter and has to be placed at least 1.5 m above the
ground.
ATTENTION! Your electrical network must be grounded for safety reasons. Do not install
your tubular motor if your section of electrical network is not equipped with protective
devices that fully comply with local laws. The distance between terminals inside electric
control switchers must be at least 3mm.
If the tubular motor is installed on the external side of the building (outdoors), you must wire all electric cables
inside protective casing for safety reasons.
ATTENTION! Do not connect several tubular motors to a one-channel electric switch. Do
not connect several switches to a single tubular motor. The control switcher must block
any simultaneous movement of corresponding roll tube in two opposite directions.
ATTENTION! Shutdown tools must be integrated into standard wiring system to guarantee safe
mounting and usage of your tubular motor.
Damaged power cables may cause fatal injuries. Only the producer, service provider or another qualified
specialist are authorised to replace such cables.
The power cable must remain downward directed after the mounting, or can be fixed as a downward directed
loop to keep condensation (water) away from your tubular motor.
ATTENTION! Do not hammer your tubular motor into the roll tube. Do not drill or screw
into the roll tube along the whole length of the tubular motor.
Select correct length of fasteners (such as screws, rivets, etc.) to prevent any contact
between such elements and your tubular motor. The fasteners should not obstruct the
mounting of the motor, and manual emergency lifting mechanism must be easily
accessible at all times.
For security reasons, we urge you to follow all instructions provided in this Operation Manual. Incorrect
mounting may cause critical injuries to humans and animals and cause harm to property. Unauthorised
modification of all tubular motors and relevant electronic devices as well as improper use of any of these
products are strictly prohibited.
