4. Checking the motors for suitability
Often, it is not known whether the motor installed is equipped with mechanical
or electronic limit switches.
Carry out the following measurement using a voltmeter:
• Measure the actual mains voltage U
• Go to the measured mains voltage on the left side of the diagram opposite.
• Draw a straight line from the value found through the center M to the
• Measure the motor voltage U
28
Therefore: Check the motor first for suitability.
Some motors with mechanical limit switches tend to build up a
high motor voltage in operation which may irreparably damage the

'Standard' insert without neutral conductor. Checking is
therefore effected with a commercial mechanical shutter switch
(possibly still installed) and not with the 'Standard' insert without
neutral conductor.

Example
Example:
The measured mains voltage U

voltage U
. The the maximum permissible motor voltage in this case is 404 V.

The voltages measured for the UP and DOWN directions must therefore be
below 404 V.
