7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your RolloTube S-line DuoFern motor, refer to the following common problems and solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Motor does not respond to commands. | No power supply, faulty control unit, motor not paired with DuoFern system. | Check power supply. Verify control unit functionality. Re-pair motor with DuoFern system if necessary. |
| Roller shutter stops unexpectedly. | Obstruction detected (blockage protection activated). | Check for and remove any obstructions in the roller shutter's path. |
| End positions are incorrect or not learned. | Initial learning process interrupted, manual adjustment needed. | Initiate the auto-learning process again. If issues persist, manually set the end points using a compatible control unit. |
| Motor makes unusual noises. | Mechanical issue with roller shutter, motor fault. | Inspect the roller shutter mechanism for damage or misalignment. If the noise persists and is from the motor, contact support. |
