external venetian blinds are designed and manufactured in line with the provisions set forth in the EN 13659 standard.
Nonetheless, dangers can arise for the people involved and animals and/or the product can be impaired or other property damaged.
The product may only be operated as intended, in a technically perfect condition, in a safety- and risk-conscious manner and in
accordance with these instructions for use.
Faults that could compromise safety are to be rectified immediately.
4. SAFETY
WO
UND
WO
external venetian blinds are primarily designed to provide protection against the sun and heat, as well as to regulate daylight.
WO
UND
WO
external venetian blinds also provide privacy and façade protection. Any other use or use that extends beyond this shall be deemed
improper. The manufacturer assumes no liability for any resultant damages.
No changes, additions or conversions may be made to a
WO
UND
WO
external venetian blind without the manufacturer‘s consent. If the external
venetian blind suffers additional loading as a result of suspended objects, this can lead to the external venetian blind becoming damaged. Such
actions are therefore impermissible. External venetian blinds in an imperfect condition must be replaced by a specialist dealer immediately.
Only the spare parts approved by
WO
UND
WO
may be used to replace worn or defective parts. In the case of parts sourced from third
parties, there is no guarantee that these have been designed and manufactured in line with safety and loading requirements.
Assembly and maintenance work may only be performed by qualified staff.
WO&WO Sonnenlichtdesign GmbH & Co KG assumes no liability for damages caused by improper use.

DATA FOR THE ELECTRIC DRIVE
6. PRODUCT INFORMATION
The electric motor is not designed for permanent operation. After approx. 4 minutes of operation, the thermal protection starts and the
motor switches off independently. The motor is ready for operation again after 15 – 30 minutes. However, the new actuation time is con-
siderably reduced, lasting 1 – 2 minutes (depending on the season and the associated ambient temperature).
WIND LOAD LIMIT VALUES
Since there is currently no valid test standard that defines the determination of wind load limit values for external venetian blinds, the maximum
permissible wind class must be stated as 0 (zero) due to the lack of a test standard. This means that the wind class cannot be defined or is
unknown for external venetian blind systems.
Until a valid test standard is published, we shall subject
WO
UND
WO
external venetian blind systems to an internal factory wind load test. The test
values for the relevant external venetian blind systems are available and can be requested from a
WO
UND
WO
specialist dealer if necessary.
ACCESSORIES
Detailed information about the right accessories and how to integrate them is available from all
WO
UND
WO
specialist dealers.
NOISE EMISSION
The sound pressure level is less than 70 dB(A) pursuant to EN 12100:2010.
The external venetian blinds may only be used up to the wind resistance class declared by the manufacturer. The wind class may
only be downgraded due to poor assembly conditions in exceptional cases and with the end user‘s consent.
