DAMPERS 
WITH ELECTRIC 
HEATING

Motors and electronic accessories must be fitted in 
compliance with the relevant regulations of the appro-
priate manufacturers. 
Install the motors according to the relevant regula-
tions of the appropriate manufacturers. Comply with 
the maintenance and installation instructions of the 
corresponding manufacturers. 
With lift motors, pay special attention to power trans-
mission at right angles to ensure trouble-free opera-
tion of the damper. Especially with drive motors which 
have high closing speeds, pay special attention to 
adequate protection of the movement areas (slats and 
linkages) to prevent reaching into the mechanisms. 
Responsibility lies with the operator.
RGK models close clockwise as standard.

Only use electrical accessories such as monitoring 
sensors, limit switches etc. in the areas specified by the 
manufacturer and under specified conditions with our 
products. This type of component may only be installed 
on separate brackets designed for this.  It is prohibited 
to drill holes or fit bolts or screws in the damper 
frames.

ATEX:

 All relevant national and international stand-

ards and regulations for Ex zones must be observed. In 
particular, only drive motors, limit switches, sensors  
etc. with special approval for use in ATEX zones are 
allowed. Responsibility lies with the operator. 

ATEX: 

All relevant national and international stand-

ards and regulations for Ex zones must be observed. On 
dampers with ATEX functionality in particular, the 
damper housing must be earthed using the earthing 
braids attached by the manufacturer. No mechanical 
changes may be made to the product. In addition do 
not attach any components (motors, limit switches, 
etc.) to the damper if they have not been analyzed for 
ignition risk by the appropriate manufacturers or 
approved for ATEX zones. 

It is prohibited to drill holes or fit bolts or screws in the 
interior of the dampers. This could lead to damage or 
disturb damper operation. If there is a risk at the fac-
tory that foreign bodies may enter the movement area 
of the slats, prevent them by suitable means (filters or 
catchment grills). This prevents the slats from sticking 
and the possibility of frictional heat developing.

INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

RGK REGLAIR PRECISION CONTROL DAMPERS

The standard version of the control damper with 
electric heating is designed for temperatures down to 
-20 °C; special versions are available for temperatures 
down to -60 °C.
When installing, make sure no mechanical damage is 
made to the heating strip.  Do not change the cable 
routing to the damper and do not manipulate the 
cable brackets. Any change or damage may lead to 
partial interruptions in heating or the total failure of 
the heating strip. Damaged cables must be replaced by 
the manufacturer.
The operator is responsible for wiring, controlling and 
monitoring the heating strip and this may only be 
carried out by qualified staff. The trace heating must 
switch off at +3 °C at the latest so that any conden-
sate can dry off before the outside temperature drops 
any further. Do not expose the dampers to the weather 
when operated under -20 °C. In this case, the sides of 
the dampers must be covered to protect the damper 
axles from the effects of the weather. 

In addition, a weather-proof louvre with additional 
trace heating can be installed on the weather side. 
Observe the instructions of the appropriate manufac-
turer for wiring and fusing the heating strip.

ATEX:

 All relevant national and international stand-

ards and regulations for Ex zones must be observed. 
Responsibility lies with the operator. Due to the stricter 
safety requirements in ATEX zones, the operator must 
inspect the function of the heating cable once a year.  
Here we recommend temperature measurements 
directly on the heating strip using a tested measuring 
instrument.
The specifications below are for verifying the heating 
capacity of the heating strip:
