Setup and Installation
The Schellenberg RolloDrive 65 Standard is designed for easy flush-mounted installation, fitting into many common wall boxes. It is an ideal solution for replacing existing manual belt winders, especially for tenants.
Pre-installation Checklist:
- Ensure the power supply to the roller shutter system is completely disconnected at the main breaker.
- Verify that your roller shutter belt has a width of 23 mm (System MAXI).
- Confirm the existing wall box's hole spacing for mounting is either 165 mm or 185 mm.
- Gather necessary tools: screwdriver, wire stripper, voltage tester.
Installation Steps:
- Remove Old Winder: Carefully remove the existing manual belt winder from the wall box.
- Prepare Belt: Detach the roller shutter belt from the old winder and carefully feed it into the new RolloDrive 65. Ensure the belt is not twisted.
- Mount Device: Position the RolloDrive 65 into the wall box, aligning the mounting holes. Secure the device using the provided screws.
- Electrical Connection: Connect the power supply wires to the designated terminals on the RolloDrive 65. Follow the wiring diagram in the detailed manual. If you are unsure about electrical work, consult a qualified electrician.
- Sun Sensor Connection: If using, connect the sun sensor (02266) cable to the dedicated port on the RolloDrive 65. Position the sensor in an area that receives direct sunlight when the shutter is open.
- Restore Power: Once all connections are secure and the device is mounted, restore power at the main breaker.
- Initial Test: Perform an initial test by manually operating the roller shutter up and down to ensure proper function and belt winding.
Operating Instructions
The RolloDrive 65 Standard offers various operating modes, including manual control, time automation, and intelligent functions with the sun sensor.
Manual Operation:
- Press the UP button (usually indicated by an upward arrow or sun icon) to raise the roller shutter.
- Press the DOWN button (usually indicated by a downward arrow or moon icon) to lower the roller shutter.
- Press any button during movement to stop the roller shutter at its current position.
Time Automation:
The device features a programmable timer for automatic opening and closing at set times. Refer to the detailed programming instructions in the full user manual for setting specific daily or weekly schedules.
- Setting Times: Use the programming buttons (often indicated by a clock icon) to enter the programming mode and set desired opening and closing times.
- Activating Timer: Ensure the timer function is activated after programming.
Sun and Twilight Function (with Sun Sensor):
With the included sun sensor, the RolloDrive 65 Standard can automatically react to changes in light levels, providing sun protection and privacy.
- Sun Function: When activated, the roller shutter will automatically lower when the sun sensor detects a set level of brightness, protecting your interior from excessive heat and glare.
- Twilight Function: The shutter can be programmed to close automatically at dusk, based on the light levels detected by the sensor.
- Sensitivity Adjustment: The sensitivity of the sun sensor can be adjusted to suit your preferences and local light conditions. Consult the detailed manual for adjustment procedures.
Automatic Obstacle Detection:
The RolloDrive 65 Standard is equipped with an automatic obstacle detection feature. If the roller shutter encounters an obstruction during its movement (either up or down), it will stop immediately to prevent damage to the shutter, the drive, or the obstacle itself.
Maintenance
The Schellenberg RolloDrive 65 Standard is designed for long-term, low-maintenance operation. Adhering to these simple guidelines will help ensure its longevity.
- Cleaning: Clean the surface of the device with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the plastic housing.
- Belt Inspection: Periodically inspect the roller shutter belt for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage. A worn belt can affect the performance of the winder. Replace the belt if necessary.
- No User Serviceable Parts: The RolloDrive 65 Standard contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to open the housing or perform any internal repairs. This will void the warranty and may lead to electrical hazards. For repairs, contact qualified service personnel.
- Environmental Conditions: Ensure the device remains in a dry environment and is not exposed to direct water spray or extreme humidity.
