2 Technical details, execution and function
2.1 Technical details RB50Eplus Tube motor
The Ridder RB50Eplus tube motor is a maintenance-free drive system for driving the side wall, roof and
twin roll screen system in greenhouses and the roller screen systems in agricultural buildings. The tube
motor is incorporated in a 50mm aluminium tube (wall thickness 1.5mm) and is therefore suitable for use
with 50mm winding tubes. This means that the tube motor becomes part of the rolling tube enabling the
screen material to extend the full width of the system.
2
The almost-silent RB50Eplus tube motor is supplied with a 1-phase, 2 core asynchronous electric motor,
an integrated brake and a permanantly lubricated gear system. The tube motor has a self-resetting
thermal protection system. This prevents the burn-out of the drive if the electric motor should overheat.
The RB50Eplus tube motor is almost entirely water resistant. The high protection classification, IP55,
means that the function of the tube motor will not be affected by a damp atmosphere.
The RB50Eplus tube motor has an intelligent and precision pulse counting electronic limiting switch
system as standard. This pulse counting system will switch the tube motor off in the end position, and
can, for safety reasons, switch off the tube motor in case of overload. The new limit switch system
means that several tube motors can be connected parallel without using an isolation relay because of
the switch components in the new electronic limit switch system.
The installation of the RB50Eplus tube motor is simple. Used together with the Ridder guiding unit and
guiding profiles the tube motor can be fitted to both the right and the left of the roller screen system.

3.2 Area of use RB50Eplus tube motor
Area of use
The Ridder RB50Eplus tube motors are designed for use in side wall, roof and twin roll screen systems in
greenhouses and roller screen systems in stables. When used in a roof roller screen system the system
must have an angle of inclination of a minimum of 20° from the horizontal.
Any other uses of the Ridder RB50Eplus tube motors are only permitted with the express approval of
Ridder Drive Systems.
3.3 Roller screen systems and safety
The user or installer or any other
persons could face physical injury if they
were to be struck by a revolving roller screen system.
DANGER
Automated controls
The Ridder RB50Eplus tube motors will be fitted primarily into automated roller screen systems. Anyone
working in the direct vicinity of the roller screen system must take the necessary precautions. Should
any person or their clothing come into physical contact when the blind is winding, it could have serious
consequences.
Torque guard
The RB50Eplus tube motor has a torque guard. This is intended to minimise the risk of damage to the
system or injury to any persons as far as possible. Due to the distribution of forces in the roller screen
system in which the tube motor is fitted, Ridder cannot guarantee that there will be no danger of
damage to the system or injury to any persons in the case of an emergency.
Precautions
In view of the dangerous situations that could occur in respect of the roller screen system it is vital that
the correct safety precautions are observed (screens, the revolving tube out of hand’s reach etc). If it is
not possible to observe these regulations then please be warned that this could lead to dangerous
circumstances. The responsibility for making sure that these regulations and warnings are observed lies
entirely with the installer of the roller screen system. The installer must therefore give the installed
system a CE certification in respect of the safety aspects.

3 Conditions of use
3.4 Duty cycle RB50Eplus tube motor
Limited duty cycle RB50Eplus tube motor
The RB50Eplus tube motor has a limited duty cycle because it is a powerful motor contained in a
compact housing which generates a large amount of heat during its operations. When using this tube
motor, please observe the maximum permitted running time before the motor has to be replaced in its
rest position and allowed to cool down . The maximum running time is indicated by kb (Kurzbetrieb) in
minutes. When determining the maximum running time, it is assumed that the tube motor is operating in
a surrounding temperature of 20°C. In respect of the E plus tube motor the kb-value is 10 minutes. In
practice, the cooling down period is calculated as being approx. 15x running time (duty cycle 6%).
Influencing factors when using an RB50Eplus tube motor in a roller screen
The tube motor in a roller screen (in a greenhouse) often has to operate in the following conditions,
which affect the running and rest times:
● The environmental temperature will often be above 20°C which will make the kb value smaller. The
difference will be greater or smaller depending on the environmental temperature;
● Because the screening material has an insulating affect on the winding tube, it will take a relatively
long time for the tube motor to cool down to the same temperature as the environment;
● More heat will be generated if the tube motor is continually switched on and off for short periods. In
this case the maximum time that it can remain switched on will be shorter and the cooling down time
longer.
Thermal protection in the RB50Eplus tube motor
The electric motor of the RB50Eplus tube motor is supplied with a thermal protection. This will operate
when the motor exceeds a certain temperature. If the thermal protection comes into operation, it can be
for the following reasons:
● Running time too long;
● Cooling-down time too short (tube motor at rest position);
● Switched on too often for consecutive short periods;
● Over-load.
Not taking into account the maximum time that the unit can
remain switched on can cause faults in the system and can
eventually damage the tube motor.
WARNING
Practical guidelines for the running and rest times
In practice the roller screen will operate at varying intervals. The ways in which it operates will effect the
functioning and the length of the working life of the tube motor. In practice it works in the following way:
● With most systems the maximum running time of a tube motor in one direction is no longer than
approx. 4 minutes (wall blind height: 2.5m). It is therefore possible to adjust the blind system in such
a way that it can be opened and closed without the thermal protector shutting down the tube motor.
In practice the RB50Eplus can be switched on for about 10 minutes, and it can be approx. 15
minutes before the thermic protector shuts down the tube motor;
● If the roller screen system is operated once or twice a day, the tube motor has sufficient time to cool
down, which means that the length of its working life will not be curtailed;
● If a roller screen is operated several times a day this can result in the tube motor not being allowed to
cool down sufficiently before it is operated again. This could mean that the tube motor is operating at
a too high a temperature and it will be switched off by the thermal protection. If the tube motor is
continually operating at high temperatures it will have a detrimental affect on the length of its working
life.

4 Mechanical installation
4.1 Assembly RB50Eplus tube motor and guiding unit
Ridder components
This chapter contains the instructions for the mechanical assembly of the RB50Eplus tube motor with
the guiding unit and the guiding profile. It is assumed certain Ridder components will be used when
following these instructions.
Roller screen system
These assembly instructions concern a side screen, where the roller screen is mounted on the front of a
greenhouse structure between the stanchions. Thus the guiding unit for the tube motor will be
positioned to the right of the roller screen (looking out from the greenhouse), where the left-handed
version of the guiding unit will be used.
Greenhouse sections
This has the advantage that if the greenhouse where the roller screen is to be assembled is built in
sections, the tube motor and conductor can be positioned at the highest point. This means that water
formed by, for instance, condensation, will run away from the tube motor over the screen when it is
rolled up.
Assembly cable carrier
It is very important to decide beforehand where to fit the cable carrier for the RB50Eplus tube motor.
There are two ways to do this using the different Ridder components that are available: hooking onto, or
parallel to, the roller screen. For more information see the paragraph in this chapter which covers the
assembly of the cable leads.
4
Assembly instructions: order
The manual shows the order in which the various assembly operations should be carried out. It is also
possible to use a different assembly sequence if this would be more advantageous. However the
guidelines in the manual should still be followed.
CAUTION
The person(s) carrying out the following assembly instructions
must be fully qualified to install roller screen systems in
greenhouses.
TIP
During any mechanical installation it is advisable to
use an adjustable switch to provide the tube motor
with power when required.

4 Mechanical installation
Steps for assembling the guiding profile and guiding unit:
1. Measure the length of the guiding profile (1) .
The guiding profile (1) that conducts the RB50EPlusplus> tube motor is supplied in standard lengths.
Before starting work on the assembly, measure the length of the guiding profile and if necessary cut
to the correct length using a saw. This length measurement will usually be the same, or be a few
millimeters shorter than the height of the girder (L1) as shown in diagrams A2.1 and A2.2.
2. Drill the holes.
Holes must be drilled in the guiding profile (1) before assembly (ø6,5 .. 7 mm). Holes must also be
drilled in the greenhouse structure (girders (a,d), greenhouse base (c)) in order to fit the guiding
profile (1) and/or the mounting bracket (2). To secure the assembly base (2) onto the greenhouse
base (concrete, figure A2.4) use 2 anchor bolts M8 (6). To secure the assembly base (2) on to a girder
(diagram A2.5) use 2 bolts M8 (7) with self-locking nuts (8). It is important that the holes are drilled in
the correct place, as this will affect the position of the cable carrier when it is assembled at a later
time. Use the diagrams A2.2 and A2.3 to determine the correct positions. The guiding profile must be
secured to the girder (a) so that it rests against the girder (diagram A2.3).

Mounting bracket cable carrier: hooking onto or parallel to the roller screen
This manual describes two methods for fitting the cable carrier for the RB50Eplus to the tube motor. The
standard method is to hook it on to the roller screen. Using this method the cable carrier is attached
directly to the guiding unit of the tube motor. The alternative method is to fit the cable carrier parallel to
the roller screen. The latter requires an extra mounting clamp that must be fitted when the tube motor is
being fitted to the guiding unit. Make sure that the mounting bracket has been fitted to avoid extra work
at a later time (feeding the power cable through the mounting bracket and the retaining ring).
Securing the tube motor to the guiding unit (cable carrier hooking onto roller screen, A4.1)
1. Feed the power cable of the tube motor (1) through the mounting bracket of the guiding unit (2);
2. Slide the tube motor head completely (1) into the gap in the mounting bracket of the guiding unit (2);
3. Feed the power cable of the tube motor (1) through the retaining ring of the tube motor (4);
4. Slide the retaining ring (4) as far as the mounting bracket (2) round the tube motor head (1);
5. Rotate the retaining ring (4) in to the position shown in diagram A4.3 and seal the retaining ring (4) to
the tube motor head (1) by tightening the retaining screw (5) ( 4 mm).

5.2 Instructions for the electrotechnical installer
Instructions regarding electrical connections and switching units
● To operate in the up and down directions use the phase L1. General electrical equipment (lamps,
relays, etc.) must never be connected directly to the connection cables of the motor. In this instance
the tube motor and the general equipment must be connected through a relay;
● When installing the tube motor an isolating capacity from the mains must be applied for all poles with
a contact opening of at least 3 mm per pole (EN 60335);
● Important: Only use mechanical or electrical interlocking switching units with a specific off position.
This also applies if motors with an electronic limit switch system and motors with a mechanical limit
switch system are being used in an installation;
● The delay period for reversing the turning direction must be approx. 500 ms (0.5 second);
● Switch and control must not be used at the same time as the up and down command;
● For driving the tube motors with electronic limit switch systems, use only switching units (switch
clocks) where the N-potential is not delivered via the motor. The switch unit outputs must remain
potential free when in the rest position;
● Protect the electric connections against damp.
Parallel connections
Ridder RB50Eplus tube motors with electronic limiting switch systems can be parallel connected. The
maximum switch contact load for the switch installations (relay controls, switches etc.) must be taken
into account.

8 Maintenance and cleaning
8.1 Maintenance and cleaning RB50Eplus tube motor and accessories
Before starting any assembly or maintenance work
make sure that the power supply is voltage free.
CAUTION
Minimum maintenance
The Ridder RB50Eplus tube motor and its accessories require very little maintenance. It is however
important that the user makes a regular check to make sure that the tube motor and its components are
functioning correctly. Check the following points when carrying out a maintenance inspection. If you
should discover a problem during the maintenance check and you cannot solve it yourself, contact your
installer or supplier.
Checks to be carried out:
● Check the set end positions of the limit switch systems of the RB50Eplus tube motor.
Is the motor becoming jammed when rolling the screen up, because of creases in the roller screen?
(rolls up more quickly);
● Check that the guiding unit with the guiding profile are working correctly.
If the guiding profile is dirty, it can mean that the running will become erratic (thus using more power);
● Check that the tube motor head fixing ring is still sealed tight;
● Check that the power cable for the RB50Eplus tube motor is not damaged.
8.2 Maintenance and cleaning roller screen system
CAUTION
Before starting any assembly or maintenance work
make sure that the power is disconnected and isolated from the
main supply.
Roller screen system
As well as checking the Ridder RB50Eplus tube motor, the user must also check the roller screen on a
regular basis. If the roller screen is not working properly, it can eventually lead to faults in the tube motor
or the tube motor conductivity. If you should discover a problem during the check and you cannot solve
it yourself, contact your installer or supplier.
Points to be checked
● Check the roller screen for dirt or any foreign objects that could have a detrimental effect on the
working of the screen;
● Check the roller screen for any tears and repair them where possible;
● Check that the roller screen is still attached properly to the winding tube and to the greenhouse;
● Check that there are no excessive creases forming when the roller screen is rolling up.

9 Accessories and optional parts
9.9 RMC50 Tube motor control unit
The RMC50 motor control units are control boxes for connecting 1-phase RB tube motors. In the
RMC50 motor contol unit the all electrical components required for the reliable operating and safe
connection of an RB tube motor are integrated. The RMC50 motor control unit can be used in
combination with the RB40-11, RB50-3.5/4.2, RB120-11 and RB50Eplus tube motors.
The RMC50 motor control unit, which is encased in a plastic housing, has a glass fuse (4A) which
prevents electric overload. The RMC50 motor control unit also has a programmable time delay safety
function (1 to 10 mins). The time delay safety function has two functions: preventing damage to the tube
motor (when it is not switched off electrically when it has reached an end position) and a fault signal will
indicate if the programmed running time has been exceeded. If the programmed running time is
exceeded and the motor is not switched off electrically, the power to the motor will be interrupted by the
RMC50 motor control unit. The fault signal is an optical signal (flashing light) on a built-in LED.
The RMC50 motor control unit can be operated manually and by remote control. The RMC50 has two
impulse push buttons, one for manual control (up - stop - down - stop) and one for a choice of remote
or manual operation. The remore control can be transmitted using a 24V input signal (AC or DC).
The RMC50 motor control unit has easily accessible clamping strips for connecting the cables. The 1phase power voltage, the RB tube motor and a 24V transmission signal for external control are
connected to the clamping strips. The RMC50 motor control unit features 2 cable glands to feed wiring
and leads to the outside of the cabinet.
