16.1b) Elero Standard Limit Motors
Warning: Do not attempt to adjust the limit switches without reading these instructions! There is a
considerable chance that parts within the motor will be broken if adjustment procedures are not
followed. Limit switch adjustments can be done with a tester cable but a proper hook-up to electrical
switching systems must be performed by a licensed electrician. Note that turning the limit switches
towards the “-” sign causes the most common motor damage. Read and follow the following
instructions on how to make adjustments in this direction in particular.
General: Electrical Rollshutter units are operated by tubular motors housed inside the unit's shaft at one end. The
motor can be located by looking for the wires leading to the Rollshutter unit. Each motor has two internal limit
switches. The function of the "upper" limit switch is to cut off power to the motor when the unit has reached the
completely rolled-up position. The function of the "lower" limit switch is to cut off power to the motor when the unit
has reached the completely rolled-down position. Since every Rollshutter unit is different it is necessary to adjust the
limit switches according to the following instructions.
Identifying The Limit Switches: There are two limit switches located on a motor. Mostly they are plainly visible, turnable
switches with gear-tooth dials. On manual-override motors they are deeply recessed into the motor and are adjusted
with a 5/32" (4mm) hexagonal Allen wrench.
One general hint for the following instructions: If it is difficult to understand which direction of the shaft means "up" or
"down", imagine how the curtain will roll up onto the shaft when it is attached. Facing the removable lid side of the
Rollshutter unit during installation, the curtain will come from below the shaft, then behind it, then up and over towards
the front as it rolls up.
