Schellenberg 22745 RolloDrive 45 Electric Belt Winder Instruction Manual

1. Introduction

The Schellenberg RolloDrive 45 allows for easy control of a roller shutter by simply pressing a button or using an automatic timer. This electric belt winder is suitable for plastic roller shutters up to 4 m² and is compatible with the Maxi roller shutter system, requiring a strap width of 23 mm. It directly replaces an existing mechanical belt winder. The RolloDrive 45 can be installed in all standard wall boxes with an opening width of at least 35 mm and a height of at least 103 mm. It features two mounting hole spacings: 135 mm and 165 mm. This electric belt winder is ideal for rental properties as it does not require opening the roller shutter box for installation. The integrated automatic timer allows the roller shutter to be raised or lowered automatically at desired times, with one up and one down movement programmable. If the roller shutter jams or encounters an obstacle, the electric belt winder stops automatically. The large buttons on the RolloDrive 45 facilitate ease of use and setting of end positions. Power is supplied via a power cable. Optionally, the roller shutter can be controlled based on sun position using a separately available solar sensor, protecting furniture and plants from excessive sunlight.

4.2 Pre-Installation Check

Before installation, inspect the existing roller shutter system. Ensure the roller shutter operates smoothly and the belt is in good condition, free from fraying or excessive wear. If the roller shutter is stiff or difficult to move manually, address these issues first. Neglecting this can lead to increased noise and wear on the RolloDrive 45.

1. Remove the existing manual belt winder from the wall box.
2. Ensure the wall box dimensions are compatible with the RolloDrive 45.
3. Feed the roller shutter belt through the opening of the RolloDrive 45.
4. Secure the RolloDrive 45 into the wall box using the provided screws and wall plugs, aligning with the appropriate mounting hole spacing (135 mm or 165 mm).

5.2 Automatic Timer Function

The integrated timer allows you to program automatic opening and closing times for your roller shutter. You can set one opening time and one closing time per day.

1. To set the automatic opening time, navigate to the timer setting mode (refer to the detailed manual for specific button sequences).
2. Set the desired time for the roller shutter to open.
3. Repeat the process to set the desired time for the roller shutter to close.
4. Once programmed, the roller shutter will automatically move at the set times daily.

Note: If power is interrupted, programmed times may need to be reset.

5.3 Obstacle Detection

The RolloDrive 45 is equipped with an automatic obstacle detection feature. If the roller shutter encounters resistance or an obstacle during movement, the device will automatically stop to prevent damage to the roller shutter or the motor.

5.4 Optional Solar Sensor Control

For enhanced automation, the RolloDrive 45 can be connected to a separately available solar sensor. This allows the roller shutter to react to sunlight, providing sun protection for furniture and plants by automatically lowering when intense sunlight is detected.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Schellenberg RolloDrive 45, consider the following maintenance tips:

• Belt Inspection: Regularly check the roller shutter belt for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage. A worn belt can affect the winder's performance and lifespan. Replace damaged belts promptly.
• Cleaning: Keep the belt winder and the roller shutter belt clean. Dust and debris can accumulate and hinder smooth operation. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Roller Shutter Condition: Periodically inspect the roller shutter itself. Ensure all moving parts are clean and lubricated if necessary, to minimize friction and strain on the belt winder.
• Power Supply: Ensure the power cable and adapter are free from damage.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your RolloDrive 45.

• Roller Shutter Stops Unexpectedly:
  • Check for any physical obstructions in the path of the roller shutter.
  • Ensure the roller shutter is not jammed or stiff. The integrated obstacle detection will stop the unit if resistance is too high.
• Automatic Times Not Working After Power Outage:
  • The device may reset programmed times after a power interruption. Reprogram the desired opening and closing times as described in the "Automatic Timer Function" section.
• Increased Noise During Operation:
  • Inspect the roller shutter mechanism for any worn or unlubricated parts. Lubricating moving parts can reduce noise.
  • Ensure the roller shutter belt is clean and not rubbing against any surfaces.
  • Verify the roller shutter itself is in good condition; older, poorly maintained roller shutters can cause increased operational noise.
• Roller Shutter Not Moving Smoothly:
  • Check the roller shutter belt for proper tension and alignment.
  • Ensure the roller shutter guides are clean and free of debris.
