5. Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of the tubular motor and control kit.

5.1. Crown and Drive Adapter Selection

The crown and drive adapter must be compatible with your rolling tube's outer diameter and inner structure. We provide standard Dooya adapters for common tube types. If your tube has a unique inner structure, you may need to modify the provided adapters, use 3D printed alternatives, or source them locally. If your old crown and drive adapter are in good condition, reusing them is often the best option.

Diagram showing various compatible tube types including 38mm, 40mm, 45mm, 85mm, 50mm Round, 50mm Grooved, 55mm, 63mm, 70mm — Figure 5.1: Compatible Tube Types.

Examples of Crown and Drive Adapters for different tube types:

5.2. Crown and Drive Adapter Installation

Insert the crown onto the motor shaft.
Insert the drive adapter onto the motor shaft, ensuring it aligns correctly with the crown.
Secure the crown with 5 short rivets. Ensure not to pierce the steel ring inside the crown.
Align the wheel centerline of the motor with the tube.
Install the fixed tail plug into the other end of the tube.

Diagram showing steps for crown and drive adapter installation — Figure 5.2: Crown and Drive Adapter Installation.

Instruction to fix crown with rivets and warning not to pierce steel ring — Figure 5.3: Crown Riveting Instruction.

Diagram showing fixed tail plug installation — Figure 5.4: Fixed Tail Plug Installation.

5.3. Bracket Installation

There are typically two methods for bracket installation:

5.3.1. Bracket Installation A (Side Mount)

Mount the brackets to the wall or frame using appropriate fasteners.
Insert the motor assembly into the brackets.
Secure the motor in place.

5.3.2. Bracket Installation B (Top Mount)

Mount the brackets to the top frame or ceiling.
Insert the motor assembly into the brackets.
Secure the motor in place.

Diagram showing Bracket Installation Method A — Figure 5.5: Bracket Installation A.

Diagram showing Bracket Installation Method B — Figure 5.6: Bracket Installation B.

5.4. Circuit Installation

Connect the motor to the power supply and control unit according to the wiring diagrams below. Ensure the voltage matches the product nameplate (230V/50Hz or 120V/60Hz).

5.4.1. Circuit Installation A

Standard wiring for basic control.

5.4.2. Circuit Installation B

Alternative wiring configuration.

5.4.3. Circuit Installation C

Wiring for tubular motor with integrated control.

Wiring diagrams for Circuit Installation A, B, and C — Figure 5.7: Circuit Installation Diagrams (A, B, C).

The DC31 Control Kit includes a wiring harness for easy connection. The motor also supports various matchable control systems like DC41, DC42, DC73, DC74, DC43, DC83, and other control systems such as single manual switches (DC59, DC63, DC25, DC27) and central control (DC80, UPS).

Diagram showing matchable control systems and other control systems for the motor — Figure 5.8: Matchable and Other Control Systems.

6. Operation

6.1. Remote Control (DC31 Kit)

The DC31 Control Kit comes with two DC30 remote controls. These remotes operate on RF433 frequency. Ensure the remote is paired with the DC31 receiver for operation.

DC31 remote control with buttons for up, down, stop, and lock — Figure 6.1: DC30 Remote Control.

6.2. Limit Setting

The motor's upper and lower travel limits need to be set after installation. Use the special regulator (adjust rod) to set these limits.

6.2.1. Up Limit Setting

Switch on the power.
Press the UP button on the remote control one time.
Use the special regulator to adjust the '+' direction, rotating the red worm when needing to increase the up distance.
When the desired UP limit is achieved, stop rotating the red worm and press the STOP button on the remote. The up limit setting is now complete.

Note: If the motor doesn't stop rotating, check the red or white worm with the regulator.

Instructions for setting the upper limit of the motor's travel — Figure 6.2: Up Limit Setting.

6.2.2. Down Limit Setting

Switch on the power.
Press the DOWN button on the remote control one time.
Use the special regulator to adjust the '+' direction, rotating the red worm when needing to increase the down distance.
When the desired DOWN limit is achieved, stop rotating the red worm and press the STOP button on the remote. The down limit setting is now complete.

Note: If the motor doesn't stop rotating, check the red or white worm with the regulator.

Instructions for setting the lower limit of the motor's travel — Figure 6.3: Down Limit Setting.

7. Maintenance

The Dooya DM45M tubular motor is designed for low maintenance. However, regular checks can prolong its lifespan and ensure optimal performance:

Periodically inspect all mounting hardware to ensure it is secure.
Check the power cable for any signs of damage or wear.
Keep the motor and control unit free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
Ensure the shutter or awning mechanism operates smoothly without obstruction.
Do not attempt to lubricate internal motor components.

8. Troubleshooting

Refer to the table below for common issues and their solutions:

No.	Fail-phenomena	Failure causes	Solutions failure recovery
1	Press the UP button of the controller, the shutter moves downward	Inside wire connecting of the controller is wrong	Exchange the position of black wire and brown wire
2	Switch on, the drive adapter runs in one-way operation	Inside limit switch of motor doesn't open	Crown running one circle in the opposite direction, then it works
3	Motor starts slowly or not work after connect power	a. Power voltage is slow b. Wiring error c. Overload d. Improper installation	a. Adjust power to rated data b. Check circuit and correct wiring connecting c. Rated torque associated with the installation of the load d. Re-install the motor
4	Motor stops suddenly after running	Motor stops suddenly after running	Motor will automatically resume work after 20 minutes cooling
5	Abnormal sound during roller blinds in operation	Outer tube is too long, led the rolling shutter connects with both sides of bracket too tightly	If idler is active, properly make the tube shorter to avoid too tight status.

9. User Tips

This motor system is suitable for both rolling shutter doors and awnings.
Always double-check the compatibility of the crown and drive adapter with your specific tube type before installation. Modifications or local sourcing might be necessary for non-standard tubes.
