3.4 Glossary - Definition
Shutter
Roller shutter / Venetian blind or similar.
Blockage detection / Obstacle detection
Tubular motor safety features.
If the roller shutter is blocked or an obstacle is en-
countered, the tubular motor stops and automati-
cally travels briefly in the opposite direction.
Shutter length compensation
Automatic adjustment of travel route during opera-
tion.
DIN EN 13659
"Shutters and external Venetian blinds - Performance
requirements including safety."
This standard determines the performance require-
ments that externally attached shutters and blinds
must fulfil. It also contains significant hazards with
regard to the design, transportation, installation,
operation and maintenance of these shutters and
blinds.
DIN VDE 0100, Part 701 and 702
“Erection of low voltage installations -
Part 7-701 and 7-702“
This standard defines the requirements for special
installations or locations, rooms with a bath or
shower / basin etc.
Torque monitoring
The torque monitoring protects the roller shutter
and the complete system from being destroyed and
people from being injured. It is also used to find the
end points, amongst other things.
End points
An end point is defined and set for each direction
of travel of the roller shutter. Once this point has
been reached, the tubular motor switches off and
the roller shutter stops.
Transient operation (KB)
Tubular motors are not designed for continuous
operation. Transient operation defines the maxi-
mum permissible running time.
Magnetic ring
The magnetic ring
(18)
is located in the area of the
drive head
(12)
. It is driven by the winding shaft
(5)
and the adapter
(10)
and is used to find the end
points, and monitor/control the shaft rotations in
normal mode.
Configuration of KNX/EIB Venetian blind
actuators
KNX/EIB Venetian blind actuators are used to
control electrically operated Venetian blinds, roller
shutters etc.
Some parameters must be set prior to commis-
sioning in order to ensure trouble-free operation.
Roller shutter box
The tubular motor is installed in an existing or ret-
rofitted roller shutter box above the window.
Universal setting cable
RADEMACHER accessory for the specialist roller
shutter firm to set the end points.
Rigid shaft connector
Assembly aid to fasten the roller shutter to the
winding shaft. A distinction is made between rigid
shaft connectors or anti-raise mechanisms and
flexible ties (made from metal).
