MEASUREMENT AND ASSEMBLY MANUAL
Instruction validity: as of 1 August 2013
3
The mechanical part consists of an extruded aluminium (winding) drum, which has a driving motor on one end
(left or right) and axial cap on the other. Both the motor and the cap are installed on the side mounts (i.e. brackets
in case of roller blinds without boxes, or side boards in case of roller blinds with boxes). The fabric is attached to
the drum by a plastic bar inserted in a pocket made in the fabric and then inserted in a slot in the drum. The motor
runs co-axially and produces power necessary for the fabric drawing. The motor is activated by a suitable switch,
remote controller or by an electrical control system interface. The suitable motor torque is selected according to
the type of fabric and its relative weight.
Upper extruded-aluminium box with a removable cover and aluminium side boards, allowing direct inserting of the
box to the guide bars.
The GS40 extruded-aluminium guide bars consist of two parts for the installation to a wall with a PVC flanged rail:
the ZIP system ensures smooth operation, while maintaining the fabric inside the bars and providing excellent
wind resistance and full blackout, if required.
Rectangular lower extruded-aluminium rail with a steel, galvanized weight and PVC end covers.
Fabric
– the fabric used is coated or laminated for greater stiffness, facilitation of installation to the winding drum
and provision of proper winding, as well as for better fabric flatness. The ZIP is welded on the fabric and provides
guiding and tension in the guide bars.
4. GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
The installation and wiring of the roller blind may only be carried out by qualified and authorised personnel. Any
intervention, however small, in the power supply requires a qualified electrician. Faulty wiring, faulty installation and any
repairs, adjustments or alterations made by any unauthorised personnel shall result in the loss of guarantee. We
recommend using solely original accessories and spare parts. Our roller blinds are intended only for the use of original
accessories.
DURING INSTALLATION
Installation may be carried out solely by qualified personnel while observing these rules.
Prior to installation, it is necessary to check the workplace for the presence of any electric wiring and stipulate
necessary safety measures to prevent both direct and indirect contact with live components.
If the installation requires that the mechanician work at heights exceeding 2 metres above the ground, it is
necessary to prevent losing the mechanician’s balance by safety measures, usually safety railing attached to all
open sides of the workplace (beam structures, platforms, terraces, scaffolding, balconies, etc.) or elevated
bridges. If the use of such measures is not possible, suitable individual protection equipment must be used. The
installation of scaffolding, platforms and elevated working areas must be carried out solely by qualified personnel
(specialised contractors) in accordance with valid regulations. Always use safety belts at scaffolding without
railing or in other dangerous situations.
In case of outdoor installations, power input of portable equipment must not exceed 230 V, and for the use in wet
or very wet environment or if in contact with large metallic objects, the power input must not exceed 50 V. Safe
voltage must be attained by using transformers corresponding to the European Norm IEC 14-6.
