1. WHEN SHOULD WE START CE MARKING OUR ROLLER SHUTTERS?

Under the Machinery Directive it has been a mandatory requirement to CE Mark all electrically operated roller shutters (EORS's) since the 1st January 1995. A period of grace was put in place for all existing designs until the 1st January 1997.

That means it has been mandatory to CE Mark roller shutters for over 7 years now.

It is illegal to SUPPLY EORS's that are not CE Marked
It is illegal to ACCEPT EORS's that are not CE Marked

2. MY RUBBER SAFETY EDGE HAS STOPPED WORKING!

If your safety edge has previously been working, check the following:

The top and bottom magnets on the guide are at the correct position (see installation manual).

When the door passes the magnets the distance between them and the safety edge transmitter is no more than 10mm.

The magnets have not been removed and put back on the guides in a different position.

Once you have checked the following please give us a call for further assistance.

3. I NEED A NEW TRANSMITTER FOR MY GARAGE DOOR, HOW DO I KNOW WHICH ONE I NEED?

Before calling us, make sure that you have got an existing transmitter to hand, so that you can quote the serial numbers to us. We will be able to advise you if replacement transmitters are available for your system.

4. I NEED A WIRING DIAGRAM FOR A PDT PRODUCT, WHAT SHOULD I DO?

You can either register with the members section of our website and download the diagram you require or contact us via phone and we can send you a copy.

5. HOW LONG WILL THE BATTERIES INSIDE MY TRANSMITTER LAST?

Based on average operation, which is opening and closing the garage once a day, the batteries inside the transmitter will last for around five years.

6. CAN I USE THE ROLLERTEC™ ON A THREE PHASE ROLLER SHUTTER?

At present the RollerTec™ can only be used to operate single-phase tubular motors. The three-phase version will be available in the first part of 2006.
