* Clip mounting
These guide rails have two small L-shaped notches on the back. These are either used for clipping the guide rails to the
window frame, using the provided clips, or they are fitted with sealing strips.
The clips must be screwed on each side of the window frame in one straight and vertical line.
** Sealing strips
When the screen is mounted to a window frame on which the surfaces for the two guide rails are not flush, the resulting
gaps between the guide rails and the window frame can be sealed with sealing profiles.
These sealing profiles must always be secured by a screw at the top and the bottom of the guide rail. Be careful when
tightening the fasteners, because overtightening can permanently damage the sealing profiles.
In the interest of safety, it is important that each guide rail be additionally secured to the window frame at the top,
middle and bottom with a sheet metal screw to prevent the guide rail from sliding and the clips from detaching
from the screen.
*** Distance supports
For guide rails with a mounting flange (type 828), distance supports can be used for mounting the guide rails.
**** Cover cap
For each of the guide rails of the type referred to above, use a cover cap at the bottom end. This will prevent the bottom
slat from dropping out of the guide rails.
U-shaped guide profile:
A plastic screen guide profile fits into the U-channel of each guide rail, which accommodates the zipper on the fabric.
(At the top end of this extrusion, the black rubber part is cut away at an angle over a length of 70 mm.
Make sure the guides are positioned with these cut-aways at the top. The screen guide profiles for the left and right sides
differ.)
2.5. PIN MOUNTING
In this installation the box is mounted onto the guide rails by sliding the pivots on each of the side consoles into the
corresponding hole chambers on the guide rails.
To make some of the following steps easier, it is recommended that you unroll the screen a bit so the bottom slat extends
a few centimetres from the box. To do so, use a test cable to briefly operate the motor or operate the manual gearbox with
a crank handle attached to a square rod inserted through the opening in the box.
Based on the installation situation, there are several ways the screen can be installed:
Method 1.
Affix the box using the mounting brackets, then slide the guide rails onto the console pivot and secure the guide
rails with screws.
Method 2.
Place the complete box / guide rail assembly in or against the window opening and screw them in place.
Mehtod 3.
Screw the guide rails in place. Then push the box onto the guide rails and secure it in place.
