Product information2 Product information2.3 Intended use2.1 Parts descriptionWith rail guidanceWith cable guidanceWAREMA external venetian blinds are sun shading systemsthat may only be employed for their intended use(e.g. for privacy and to protect against summer heat andglare). Inappropriate use may result in significant danger.All venetian blinds for external use are designed for awind load of 1.1 kN/m² (DIN 1055). The directive entitled"Wind loads for construction of closures and awningswhen retracted – Section 5.1.1" 1 defines the positions atwhich these products can be installed without requiringspecial precautions.dd200000165_2dd200000165_1Additional loads on the external venetian blinds in theform of hanging objects could damage the product orcause it to detach from the wall and are therefore notpermitted.The intended use also includes observing these instructionsand the care and maintenance conditions.1 Top rail 4 Guiding nipple2a Guide rail 5 Tilting tape2b Tension cable 6 Lifting tape3 Slat 7 Bottom railFig. 1: Overview1Published by the Bundesverband Rollladen + Sonnenschutze.V. and ITRS Industrieverband technischeTextilien Rollladen Sonnenschutz e.

Product information2.4 Wind speed limitsFor external venetian blinds, the use of wind speed limits(see Tab. 2) is recommended depending on the producttype. If the wind speed limits are reached, the unit mustbe raised. It is recommended that the wind monitors beset to the lowest value, e.g. to 13.5 m/s for Beaufort 7.Basis of Table 2: Slat facade distance: 100 mm Slat thickness: 0.4 mm Unit height: < 2400 mmDetails inm/s (Beaufortin brackets)Width up to1500 mmWidth up to2000 mmWidth up to2500 mmWidth up to3000 mmWidth up to4000 mmWidth up to5000 mmTab. 2:Beaded slat withrail guidance13.5 – 17.4(7)13.5 – 17.4(7)13.5 – 17.4(7)13.5 – 17.4(7)10.5 – 13.4(6)10.5 – 13.4(6)Flat slat with railguidance13.5 – 17.4(7)10.5 – 13.4(6)10.5 – 13.4(6)10.5 – 13.4(6)7.5 – 10.4(5)7.5 – 10.4(5)Recommended wind speed limitsBeaded slat withcable guidance13.5 – 17.4(7)13.5 – 17.4(7)10.5 – 13.4(6)10.5 – 13.4(6)10.5 – 13.4(6)10.5 – 13.4(6)Flat slat with cableguidance13.5 – 17.4(7)10.5 – 13.4(6)10.5 – 13.4(6)10.5 – 13.4(6)7.5 – 10.4(5)7.5 – 10.4(5)The table values (Beaufort level) should be modified in thefollowing cases:2.5 CE conformityCE conformity is certified, and the corresponding EC declarationof conformity (see Chapter 9/p. 17) is part of theseproduct-specific operating and maintenanceinstructions.

Operation3 Operation NOTEOnly operate the product if it is in technically perfectcondition.3.1 Operation of the crank driveLowering/raising the unit using the collapsible crank• Turn the collapsiblecrank clockwise/anticlockwise.Stop the external venetianblind in any position:Slow the turning movementof the crank downbefore fully lowering orraising the unit.• Do not turn any furtherwhen you feel a resistance.3.2 Operating the external venetian blinddrive NOTEDuring the cold season, unfavourable installationand building situations can lead to malfunctions ordamage due to the effects of sub-zero temperaturesand ice. This is caused by moisture on theproduct due to dew, rain or snow that freezes. Thismoisture freezes at sub-zero temperatures.This is a natural process that cannot be influencedby the manufacturer. Even external venetian blinddrives with obstacle detection do not provide fullprotection.Tilting the slats with the crank• Turn the crank in thedesired direction. Theslat tilt changes.Every additional turningmotion tilts the slats further.If the crank is turnedfurther, the blind moves inthe selected direction.[B866096_6] - EN / 01.08.12 Page 7 of 20 Subject to change without notice

NOTE• Adjust the central control unit in such a waythat continuous operation of the motor isavoided. The motors used in these productsare not intended for continuous operation. Theintegrated thermal protection will switch themotor off after approx. 4 minutes. The productwill be ready for use again after approx. 10 to15 minutes.• Instructions on how to operate this feature arecontained in a separate manual.• Before using your balconyor terrace, switchoff the automatic controlif the product ismounted in front of theonly entrance. Otherwiseyou could lockyourself out. NOTEAn emergency power supply is recommended forwindy regions with frequent power failures.Operation in cold weatherCAUTIONProduct damage from forceful operation! Especiallyin winter, the external venetian blind canbe expected to freeze up.• Raise the external venetian blind in wintrytemperatures and set the automatic controlmode to manual operation.• Let the external venetian blind defrost beforeoperation.• Do not operate the externalvenetian blind if itis frozen.• Switch off the automaticcontrol mode in winter.[B866096_6] - EN / 01.08.12 Page 9 of 20 Subject to change without notice

OperationGeneral operationProjection range: danger of crushing, shearing andentanglement• Never push up theexternal venetian blindas this may cause amalfunction.• Stop operation immediatelyif the unit isdamaged. Inform yourqualified specialist.• When lowering and raising,do not reachbetween the movableparts as this may lead tocrushing or shearingbetween the bottom railand other attached parts.• Keep people away fromthe external venetianblind as long as the productis moving.Products with electrical controlunits may start moving atany time and without priornotice. Ensure that dangeroussituations do not arise.• Always keep the projectionarea of the externalvenetian blind clear ofobstacles.Access to operating elements• Never let children playwith the operating elementsof the external venetianblind – such asthe hand-held transmitteror switches.• Keep the hand-heldtransmitter away fromchildren.Optimal bottom rail position in cable-guided externalvenetian blinds• If the unit hits anobstacle after all, theblind first needs to beraised slightly before theobstacle is removed.• Keep people away fromthe external venetianblind as long as the productis moving!Products with electricalcontrol units may start movingat any time and withoutprior notice. Ensure thatdangerous situations do notarise.
