Repairing Becker R12/17C PROF+ if it no longer goes up.

The Becker R12/17C PROF+ is an electronic radio-controlled roller shutter motor from the R series with 12 Nm of torque and 17 rpm, featuring an integrated Becker Centronic radio receiver. The end positions are automatically detected and stored electronically, and the motor also includes sensitive obstacle detection and anti-lift device support. If your motor still lowers the shutter but only raises it manually, the problem is almost always a failing component inside the motor. We replace this component, after which the motor will run at full power in both directions. In newer models, the same motor is designated R12-17-C01 (identical design).

Typical error pattern

  • The roller shutter still goes down, but only goes up with manual assistance.
  • The motor runs weakly, slowly, or has become noticeably louder.
  • The motor still responds to the remote control, but stops under load.

Suitable for Which Roller Shutter

The Becker R12/17C PROF+ with 12 Nm is suitable for medium to large roller shutters on residential and commercial windows. The following table serves as a guide:

material SW 50 SW 60 SW 70
Plastic (PVC) up to approximately 7.7 m² up to approximately 6.2 m² up to approximately 5.4 m²
Aluminium (roll-formed, foam-filled) up to approx. 6.1 m² up to approximately 5.0 m² up to approximately 4.3 m²
Wood / extruded aluminum up to approximately 3.0 m² up to approximately 2.5 m² up to approximately 2.2 m²

The values are guidelines for roller shutter heights up to 2.5 meters and include a 10 percent safety margin for friction. Actual material weights vary depending on the profile and manufacturer. In borderline cases, we recommend the next higher torque setting (20 Nm), such as the Becker R20/17C PROF+, or contacting us directly. The R12/17C PROF+ is mounted on winding shafts with a diameter of 50 mm or more using shaft adapters and can be installed on either the left or right side. The integrated Becker Centronic radio receiver allows you to control the drive via a handheld or wall-mounted transmitter; the end positions are learned electronically.
