3 Installation
Before starting the installation work check that you have all the necessary material. Specifically, check that the support is suitable in relation to the fix-
ing surface and that you have the correct adapters in relation to the type of roller tube.
1. On the basis of table 1 (for roller shutters) or 2 (for awnings) check that the motor has been correctly selected in relation to the characteristics of
the roller system.
• Roller shutters: the choice of motor depends on the weight of the shutter. With a Ø60 mm roller tube RME15 is able to raise shutters weigh-
ing up to 28 kg; RME30 up to 56 kg, and RME45 up to 90 kg. Table 1 allows you to choose the type of motor in relation to the surface area of
the shutter and its construction material.

• Awnings: the choice of the type of motor is to be made on the basis of the force required to close the awning. Table 2 allows you to choose
the type of motor in relation to the diameter of the tube, the number of folding arms, and the extension of the awning when fully open.

2. Fix support [C] shown in figure 4 securely; note that you must leave sufficient space for the motor head between the support and the roller tube.
3. Prepare the motor as follows:
• Fit limit switch ring [E] over motor [A] and slide it down until it interlocks with corresponding ringnut [F].
• Fit drive wheel [D] onto the motor shaft
• Secure the drive wheel with the circlip
B
4. Insert the thus-assembled motor into the roller tube until limit switch ring [E] is pressed fully home.
5. Secure drive wheel [D] to the roller tube by means of an M4x10 screw in such a way as to prevent axial movement of the motor (figure 5).
Ensure that the screw is perfectly centred with respect to drive wheel [D] and, before drilling the hole for the screw, measure the position at which
the wheel will be located once the motor has been inserted in the roller tube.
6. Insert the motor and secure motor head to previously fixed support [C] by means of clips [B].
7. Insert the power supply cable through the conduit until reaching the electrical connection box. Check that the power cable cannot become entan-
gled when the roller mechanism is moving.
