Assembly
Installation in profile tubes / installation in round tubes
1 Insert drive with matching adapter and limit switch tappet ring in the profile pipe.
1a Only when installing in the round tube:
On round tubes, cut a slot in the end of the tubes on the drive side (width 4 mm, length 16 mm)!
1b Push the drive into the round tube and place it so that the tappet wedge (the inner groove) fits into the intended cut-out.
2 Secure the counterpart support to prevent axial movement, e.g. screw or rivet on the idler.
3
4
Screw in the coupling (adapter) or rivet it (for round tube only). Secure the drive in the motor-bearing against axial movement,
Attach the roller shutter to the shaft. If the application can only be attached to a twisted winding shaft, switch on the drive in direction downwards until the drive switches off at the bottom end point (lower end of the running path reached).
The drive is connected to the profile tube/round tube.

►The motor control must be interlocked in UP/DOWN direction. A reversing delay of 0.5 seconds must be ensured.
►Parallel switching of several VariEco S-K drives is only possible with separating relay.
Damage to the application from incorrect running direction
►The assignment of the running direction UP/DOWN must be reviewed after the electrical connection has been established.
Adjustment of the end position at the drive.
►Any adjustment of the end positions that occurs indicates an electrical connection error. Readjustment of the end positions is not sufficient in this case, since the end positions are adjusted often. In this case, the drive needs to be replaced and the cause removed.
Important
Permanently installed control devices shall be clearly displayed.
Important
If the VariEco S-K is used in locations that are not "dry rooms" (e.g. in the outdoor area, in wet rooms or if it is excluded that the roller shutter boxes are reliably protected from moisture by their construction or by roof protrusions and similar things), the drive must be installed with connection lines suitable for the installation situation or the connection lines must be protected by conduits. This also applies to protection from direct solar irradiation.
All applicable standards and provisions must be observed for the electrical installation.
When connecting the drive to a control, the operating instructions of the control must be observed.
►Only perform connecting work with the power turned off.

5.2 Electrical connection
WARNING
Danger to life due to faulty electrical connection.
Electric shock possible.
►Before commissioning check the correct connection of the PE conductor.
NOTES
Damage to the VariEco S-K by faulty electrical connection.
►Before commissioning check the correct connection of the PE conductor.
Damage or destruction of VariEco S-K by the penetration of moisture.
►For units with protection class IP 44, the customer connection of the cable ends or connector (cable bushing) must also be carried out in accordance with protection class IP 44.
Damage or destruction of VariEco S-K for variants with 230
V AC 1 due to faulty control.
►Switch with OFF setting (Dead man) for drives must be installed within sight of the VariEco S-K, but away from any moving parts and amounting to about 1.5 m.

5.4 Commissioning
WARNING
Danger of injury from powered parts moving faster than
150 mm/s (application) at VariEco S1,5/70 speed 70
(1/min).
Crushing and striking dead of persons possible.
Standard DIN EN 60335-2-103, part 20.108, is the basis for impact on an obstacle. It is recommended to limit the forces by using a catching protection system with sensors or by switches with off-presettings.

►The speed of the driven part must be determined by the operator depending on the diameter of the winding shaft .
►Always observed the product and safety documentation of the application supplier.
5.5 Setting the end positions
Limit switch: Setting screws
Actuate with setting aid (131163801)
2 limit switch setting screws with running direction arrows
Adjusting tool
To actuate the limit switch setting screws, use the setting aid or a Phillips-tip or hexagon socket tool, but never a power screwdriver.
►6 turns of one of the two limit switch settings crews "UP" and "DOWN" cause 1 turn of the winding shaft (motor shaft).
►The maximum limit switch range between the upper and lower end positions is 32 turns of the motor shaft.
►The assignment of the upper or lower limit switch setting screw to the upper or lower end position results from the respective installation situation (right-hand or left-hand installation) with the corresponding assignment of the electrical connections for the running direction.
►Turn one limit switch setting screw from - (minus) to + (plus) to increase the running path of the application.
►Turn one limit switch setting screw from + (plus) to - (minus) to reduce the running path of the application.
Setting the upper end position
(general setting and fine adjustment)
1 Switch on the drive in direction downwards until the drive switches off at the bottom end point (lower end of the running path reached)..
2 Attach the application to the winding shaft.
3 Let the drive run up by pushing the UP button until it switches off at the upper end point (for small windows, stop first by pushing the switch if necessary.
4 Turn the limit switch setting screw "Top" in the +
(plus) direction or - (minus) direction until you have reached the final end position.
5 Adjust the upper end position setting with enough play.
6 Perform a test run and repeat fine adjustment if necessary.
The upper end position has been set.
Setting the lower end position
(general setting and fine adjustment)
1 Switch on the drive in direction downwards until the drive switches off at the bottom end point (lower end of the running path reached)..
2 Turn the limit switch setting screw "Bottom" in the +
(plus) direction or - (minus) direction until you have reached the final end position.
3 Perform a test run and repeat fine adjustment if necessary.
The lower end position has been set.
5.6 Checking the end positions
Allow the drive to run alternately in both directions until the limit switch switches off.
The electrical deactivation at the top and bottom must be reached before the end position of the mechanical running path of the application has been reached.
Persistent running "against block" comes with the danger of damage or destruction of the drive and/or application.
A change to a top or bottom end position is possible at any time with the limit switch setting screws.
