7. Important installation instructions
Preparation for installation
◆
Check that the structural base is sufficiently sta-
ble for the operation of an electrically powered
awning
◆
Check that the voltage / frequency on the type
plate corresponds to local mains conditions prior
to installation.
◆
You must remove or deactivate all cables and
equipment not required for operation of the
equipment prior to installation of the tubular
motor.
◆
Moving drive parts to be operated at a height
under 2.5 m from the floor must be protected.
◆
If the tubular motor is to be controlled with a
switch with a default OFF pre-setting, then the
switch is to be positioned in the line of sight of the
tubular motor and at a height of at least 1.5 m.
◆
The set button
(7)
for the tubular motor must be
easily accessible and the motor cable
(13)
must
be laid without kinking.
Installing the tubular motor incorrectly can cause
the tubular motor or awning to be damaged.
This applies to automatically operated awnings:
◆
A minimum gap of 0.4 m to other parts in the
area must be maintained when the awning is fully
extended.
◆
Awnings used in an awning system must maintain
a minimum height of 1.8 m..
There is a risk of short-circuits and fire in the
event of direct weather influences to the
unprotected tubular motor.
◆
The mounted tubular motor may never be sub-
jected to direct rain or snow, as this may lead to
life-threatening situations due to short-circuits
and damage to the motor.
◆
Only install the tubular motor in awning systems
where the motor is structurally protected from the
direct influences of rain and snow.
◆
Install a suitable protective hood for the tubular
motor, if necessary.
Drilling and inserting screws in the area of the
drive will cause the tubular motor to be damaged.
Risk of fatal injury from crushing in the event of
operation without set end points.
◆
The end points must be set in order to ensure safe
operation. In order to do so, please refer to the cor-
responding chapter in this manual on page 61.
Risk of injury when working at heights due to
falling.
◆
Take suitable measures to ensure safe working
at heights.
◆
Ensure that ladders and scaffolding stand
securely.
