Setup and Installation
The Elero Roltop M10 drive is designed for installation within a roller shutter shaft. Ensure the shaft diameter is at least 50 mm. The drive comes with an adapter kit for SW60 shafts.
Installation Steps:
- Preparation: Ensure power is disconnected. Prepare the roller shutter shaft and ensure it is clean and free of obstructions.
- Adapter Mounting: Attach the appropriate adapters from the SW60 kit to the drive head.
- Drive Insertion: Carefully insert the tubular drive into the roller shutter shaft. Ensure it is securely seated and aligned.
- Wiring: Connect the 2-meter plug-in connection cable to the drive. Route the cable safely to the power supply, ensuring it is not pinched or damaged. Parallel wiring is possible.
- Mounting: Secure the drive within the shaft assembly. The drive is suitable for both left and right-hand mounting.
- Power Connection: Connect the drive to the main power supply (230 Volts) via a suitable switch or control unit.
End Position Adjustment:
For Elero RevoLine drives with mechatronic limit switches, the end positions can be set using a mounting cable. The drive features intelligent force measurement and a quiet soft brake (up to 20 Nm).
- Mechatronic End Position Detection: The drive automatically detects terminal positions with a soft stop.
- Adjustable End Positions: Final positions can be set via the mounting cable.
- Overload Protection: Features intelligent force measurement and suspension protection (up/down and free, not for RolTop M10-K).
- Discharge at End Position: Discharge can be activated at the end position (not for RolTop M10-K).

Operating Instructions
Once installed and configured, the Elero Roltop M10 drive operates automatically based on the control signals it receives from your switch or automation system.
- Basic Operation: Use your wall switch or remote control to move the roller shutter/awning up or down.
- Automatic Stop: The drive will automatically stop at the pre-set upper and lower end positions.
- Intermediate Stops: If your control system supports it, you may be able to program intermediate stop positions.
- Soft Brake: The drive features a quiet soft brake for smooth stopping, especially for models up to 20 Nm.
- Overload Protection: The intelligent force measurement system helps protect the drive and the roller shutter/awning from damage due to obstructions.
Pull Force Tables:
Refer to the pull force tables to understand the maximum permissible weight for different roller shutter heights and shaft types.
