Product Overview
The Schellenberg Maxi 11500 Roller Shutter Winder is a robust and durable component designed for roller shutter systems. It features a strong winding mechanism and comes with a matching cover plate for a clean finish. It is specifically designed for 23 mm wide straps and can handle roller shutters up to 2.5 meters in height with a maximum strap length of 12 meters.
Setup and Installation
The winder is designed for installation in a suitable wall box. The installation depth is variable, allowing the spring roller to be adjusted up to 4 cm if needed.
Required Tools:
- Screwdriver
- Measuring tape
- Drill (if creating a new wall box)
- Level
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Wall Box: Ensure the wall box is clean and free of debris. The winder requires an opening gap of 260 mm.
- Insert the Winder: Carefully insert the winder mechanism into the wall box.
- Adjust Installation Depth: The spring roller can be moved up to 4 cm to adjust the installation depth between 175 mm and 215 mm. Position the winder to align with the roller shutter strap.
- Attach the Strap: Feed the 23 mm wide roller shutter strap through the winder's opening and securely attach it to the winding mechanism. Ensure the strap is taut and properly aligned.
- Secure the Winder: Use the provided screws to firmly attach the winder to the wall box. Ensure it is level and stable.
- Install the Cover Plate: Place the matching white cover plate over the installed winder and secure it with the remaining screws.
Operating Instructions
The Schellenberg Maxi 11500 Roller Shutter Winder operates manually to raise and lower your roller shutters.
- To Lower the Roller Shutter: Gently pull the strap downwards. The winder will smoothly release the strap, allowing the roller shutter to descend. Control the speed of descent by maintaining a steady pull.
- To Raise the Roller Shutter: Pull the strap upwards with a consistent motion. The winder will retract the strap, raising the roller shutter. Continue pulling until the desired height is reached.
- Stopping at Desired Height: The winder's internal mechanism will hold the roller shutter at any position when the strap is released.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and smooth operation of your roller shutter winder.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the visible parts of the winder and cover plate with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Strap Inspection: Regularly check the roller shutter strap for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage. A damaged strap should be replaced immediately to prevent malfunction.
- Mechanism Check: Listen for any unusual noises during operation. If the winder feels stiff or makes grinding sounds, it may require inspection by a professional. Do not attempt to lubricate the internal spring mechanism unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer.
- Screw Tightness: Occasionally check that all mounting screws are tight. Loose screws can affect the winder's stability and performance.
