markilux safety instructionsImportant information for the installation of markilux awnings

markilux

1. Who is allowed to fi t markilux awnings?The markilux installation instructions are to a qualifi ed mechanic who has skilled knowledge in following domains:• Occupational and operational safety and accident prevention regulations• Handling of ladders and scaffoldings• Handling and transport of long and heavy component parts• Handling of tools and machines• Fixture device placement• Assessment of building materials• Commissioning and operation of the productIf any one of these qualifi cations is not existent, a qualifi ed installation fi rm must be engaged.

Electrical works: electrical installations must be carried out by a certifi ed electrician according to VDE 0100. The enclosed installation instructions of the supplied electronic devices are to be observed.

We recommend installation be carried out by at least two people. Larger awnings may require three persons.

2. Before beginning the installation it is to be checked, ...• does the number and type of fi xture brackets match the order?• do the specifi cations made with the order concerning the fastening background correspond with the actual fastening background at hand (only

for folding-arm awnings)?If irregularities which may affect the safety of the unit or its users are determined, then the installation must not be undertaken.

3. Reading and passing on the instructions

The security and attachment notes as well as the operation manuals are to be read and observed!The markilux operating guide, as well as the setting instructions of the motor, switch and controller manufacturers are to be handed over to the user with a written confi rmation and fi tted wind class (see handover declaration). He is to be comprehensively informed about the safety and usage information of the awning. With nonobservance and improper operation, the awning can suffer damage and accidents can occur.

4. Working at greater heights

If the awning construction has to be pulled up into a higher area with rope support, then the awning has• to be taken out of the package,• should be connected with pull ropes in such a way that these cannot slip out,• are to be pulled up up evenly in an horizontal position.The same also applies for awning deinstallation.

Working at heights increases the risk of falling.Appropriate climbing aids and safety rails are to be used whilst installing the awning.

6. Partlyassembledawnings

In case of awnings that come partly-assembled from the factory – e.g. coupled folding-arm awnings without cover - the spring-loa-

ded parts (see figure: Example folding-arm awning) are secured against unintentional opening. These securing means must be removed only af-ter the complete assembly.

The labelled awning parts are under spring tension and can pose an high injury risk.

7. Foldingarmawningswithservogearforhandcrank

The servo gear unit of folding-arm awnings (marking by label) must not be dismantled. It is under great tension!

If the awning cloth or the gear have to be changed, kindly enquire before about the instructions "Whatistobedone,iftheservogearunithastobedismantled?.

8. Uncontrolledoperation

When working in the range of travel of the awning (see figure: ex-ample folding-arm awning) the automatic control has to be deacti-

vated. There is a risk of crushing body parts and falling.

Additionally, the installer must ensure that the unit cannot be unintentionally operated during works. The power supply should be disconnected i.e. by removing or turning off safety fuses and/or removing the power cables and motor socket gear. For works on manually operated units the crank should be removed and stored safely.If awnings are operated by more than one person, an override locking device (controlled circuit breakers from outside) must be installed so that any retraction or extension of the awning is not possible.

9. Properintendeduse

Awnings may only be used according to the purpose defined in the operation manual. Alterations like rebuilding or enlargements which are not intended by the manufacturer may only be carried out with the manufacturers written approval.Additional awning burdens by means of object attachments or or rope wearing can result in damage or dropping of the awning and are therefore not allowed.The awning must not be subjected to high temperatures, heavy vibrations, jarring or heavy mechanical stress.A build up of snow behind the awning can be avoided by installation of snow stoppers (snow collecting grid or the like).

10. Crushandshearzones

Depending on the type of awning there are crush and shear zones, e.g. between front profile and cassette and between moving parts. Items of clothing or limbs can be grabbed by the unit and pulled in. (see figure: example folding-arm awning.)

If the awning is installed at a height less than 2.5 metres above accessible traffic ways, then the awning may only be operated by a pushbutton switch which enables the moving parts to be viewed. Electric controls, radio-controlled motors with click in-switches are not permitted for such installations.

markilux mounting instructions

Individual bracket combinations - see "Fixtures, fi ttings and accessories" in the sales documentation. Please note the minimum quantity in accordance with the width and extension! Mounting Type 11, 14, 16, 21, 31, 32: from a fi xture width (MA) of 601 cm an cassette support assembly, 76183., is required!

1.2 Mounting systems Attention!Basically the following is applicable for all mounting systems:

1. The mounting material manufacturers (e.g. Fischer, Hilti, Upat, etc.) offer different mounting systemsaccording to the undersurface. If the conditions for the mounting are met according to DIN EN 13561, the wind resistance class 3 for the mounting can be confi rmed to the user.

Mounting material is not delivered, as different undersurfaces (e.g. concrete, lime sand stone, autoclaved aerated concrete, etc.) require different types of mounting material

3. IMPORTANT: The brackets must be aligned with each other! When subsurfaces are uneven, the clearances are to be checked using a cord pulley and if required compensated accordingly. Due to the horizontal mounting of the folding-arm awning and the perpendicular fi t of the mounting brackets, the smooth functioning of the folding-arm awning is guaranteed.

18. Pull the free end of the drive belt with fluffy velcro (19) towards the front profile (20) and connect it to the red end of the velcro strip (22) (right and left track profile).

19. Attention! The coloured end of the velcro strip (22) must be in line with the fluffy velcro end of the drive belt (19) and they must be connec-ted over their entire surfaces.

20. Carefully pull the drive belt (19) around the tensioning module with the help of the velcro strip (22) (see chapter 5 - course taken by the drive belt) While doing this, the drive belt must be held slightly under tension at both ends. Avoid forced or jerky pulling actions (both right and left).

27. Slide the pin (26) of the right cover support tube bracket (24) into the cover support tube (28). Clip the bracket (24) to the guide track (2) and tighten the clamping jaws of the bracket with an SW 6 spanner.

28. Measure the awning diagonally (d1) and align, as otherwise smooth functioning is not guaranteed. Attention! It is important that the guide tracks are parallel. The max. fixture tolerance (in particular for the tracfix function) is 3 mm as otherwise smooth operation cannot be guaranteed. Subsequently tighten all screws of the fixture brackets.

29. Extend and retract the awning for functional testing. Attention! The lower end position is not programmed for the standard motor without radio. Take care that the extension profile does not damage the conservatory when moving the awning. Make sure you stop before. See also point 6. motor drive.

Attention! If the awning cloth has enough tension in central position, see chapter 4. What is to be done, if.... If the position of the drive belt is incorrect, see paragraphs 30. to 32.

30. Check the position of the drive belt (19) on the fabric roller (18) when the awning is retracted. Ideally, the fabric roller will be in the position shown. The transport band envelops the fabric roller with 1.5 wrappings.

31. If, when the first wrap of the drive belt has been unwound, the lug in the drive belt (12) is in the upper area of the fabric roller (18), then trouble-free operation of the awning is still guaranteed.

6. Motor drive6.1 Motor connectionThe electrical connection for the motor drive and/or control system connection is to be carried out according to the instructions of the manufacturer of the motor and control system. Modifications, especially concerning the motor, the control system and the connecting supply lines require authorisation in writing.

The installation and adjustion instructions are to be observed. They can be found at the motor cable or accompany the awning. RTS motors carry an additional note on setting the motor at the motor cable. The inbuilt motor switches off on reaching a rated performance for the upper limit position (reduced torque auto-stop function).

Attention! The lower limit position has to be adjusted in accordance with the motor instructions for a standard motor (stop on reaching a particular awning position: point stop). This setting is not set in the factory.

The lower limit position is preset for RTS motors.

Instructions for further electric components are inside the belonging package.

Attention!The rolling up of the fabric on the fabric roller from below during retraction could lead to damage to the awning. Should you need to change the end stops, it is indispensable to pay attention to the sense of rotation!
