4. Configuration et installation
The RolloTube S-line DuoFern motors are designed for straightforward installation. The self-learning feature simplifies the setup process by automatically determining end positions during the first few operation cycles.
4.1. Vérifications préalables à l'installation
- Assurez-vous que l'axe du volet roulant est propre et dégagé de toute obstruction.
- Verify that the motor's torque (Nm) is appropriate for the weight and size of your roller shutter. Refer to the selection aids in the Specifications section.
- Confirm that the power supply matches the motor's requirements (120V, 50Hz).
4.2. Installation mécanique
- Insert the RolloTube motor into the roller shutter shaft. Ensure a secure fit using the provided adapters and bearings.
- Mount the shaft securely in its brackets.
- Attach the roller shutter curtain to the shaft.
4.3. Connexion électrique
- Assurez-vous que l'alimentation électrique principale est débranchée.
- Connect the motor's cable to the appropriate electrical connections according to local wiring regulations. The motor operates at 120 Volts.
- Sécurisez toutes les connexions et assurez-vous qu'aucun fil dénudé n'est exposé.
4.4. Initial Learning Phase
After power-up, the motor will automatically learn its end positions during the first few full up and down cycles. Manual adjustment of end points is also possible if needed.
5. Mode d'emploi
The RolloTube S-line DuoFern motor offers various operating modes and features.
5.1. Fonctionnement de base
- Contrôle haut/bas : Use a connected switch or remote control to move the roller shutter up or down.
- Fonction d'arrêt : Pressing the control button during movement will stop the roller shutter at its current position.
5.2. Obstacle Detection and Reversal
The motor features block detection in both directions, ensuring high safety and gentle operation for the roller shutter curtain. If an obstacle is detected during downward movement, the motor will reverse to prevent damage. Similarly, if the curtain is blocked during upward movement, the motor will stop.
5.3. DuoFern Smart Home Integration
When integrated into a DuoFern radio network, such as with the Rademacher HomePilot or a hand-held central unit, you can utilize numerous automatic functions.
- Time-based Control: Program specific times for opening and closing.
- Contrôle de scène : Create custom scenes that involve multiple devices.
- Intégration des capteurs : Respond to environmental sensors (e.g., sun, wind).
- Contrôle de l'application : Control your roller shutters via the HomePilot app on your smartphone or tablet.

6. Entretien
The RolloTube S-line DuoFern motor is designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation. However, regular checks of the roller shutter system are recommended.
- Periodically inspect the roller shutter curtain and guides for any signs of wear or damage.
- Ensure that the roller shutter moves freely and without excessive friction.
- Keep the area around the roller shutter clear of obstructions.
- Do not lubricate the motor or its internal components.
7. Dépannage
If you encounter issues with your RolloTube S-line DuoFern motor, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problème | Cause possible | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Le moteur ne répond pas aux commandes. | No power supply; remote control battery low; motor not paired. | Check power connection; replace remote battery; re-pair motor with control unit. |
| Le volet roulant s'arrête inopinément. | Obstacle detected; end position reached; motor overheating. | Remove obstruction; allow motor to cool down if continuously operated. |
