3 1.2 GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION The WOUNDWO TRL-SUNBOX awning has been designed and manufactured in conformity with DIN EN However, when the awning is mounted or operated, the persons involved in the respective activity may be put at risk if the relevant instructions are not observed. Only qualified and duly specialized companies or trained specialist personnel may be permitted to mount the awning. Always observe the information and notes in the installation and operation instructions. A failure to observe the relevant information will render the manufacturer s liability null and void. The safety-at-work and accident prevention regulations specific to each country must be complied with. In particular, a person performing special work at height must be suitably secured. The notes on the product and its packaging must be observed. 2. INSTALLATION 2.1 TOOLS AND MATERIALS (Percussion) drilling machine Drill bits, suitable for the drilling substrate and the mounting pieces SW 3, SW 5 and SW 10 Allen keys Ratchet (catrake) with SW 17 socket SW 13 ring or fork spanner Spirit level and string for alignment String for alignment of the brackets Test cable, resp. adjustment set (for initial operation) 2.2 Preparing the installation Transport the awning to the site of installation, ensuring that the orientation is correct. The location of the drive side is indicated on the packaging. Secure the installation zone (the secured zone must be at least equivalent to the size of the fully deployed awning). If the awning is hoisted to higher installation positions with ropes, the awning must be removed from the packaging. When attaching the hoisting ropes, ensure that the awning is properly fastened, but not damaged. Hoist the awning exclusively in horizontal position and evenly. Before commencing the installation, please verify whether the type and number of brackets is in conformity with the order and whether the base material is the same as that stated on your order. If significant differences make the safe installation of the awning seem doubtful, please consult the manufacturer of the system and a mounting/installation specialist. If the information above is not observed, the awning system may fall down and put the health of persons at risk! July 2014 Misprint and technical changes reserved. by WO&WO Art.-Nr.: _EN 3

4 2.3 WIND RESISTANCE CLASSES Definition: DIN EN Item 4.3. defines different wind resistance classes for awnings. The classification depends on the quality of the product. The higher the class, the better the quality of the product. Wind class Wind force Wind speed Class 0 undefined, product not tested or unsuitable Class 1 4 (according to Beaufort wind scale) km/h Class 2 5 (according to Beaufort wind scale) km/h Class 3 6 (according to Beaufort wind scale) km/h Classification of the TRENDLINE SUNBOX awning Version / extended length TRL Sunbox 1500 mm TRL Sunbox 2000 mm TRL Sunbox 2500 mm TRL Sunbox 3000 mm TRL Sunbox 3500 mm Wind class MOUNTING SITUATIONS Wall mounting Ceiling mounting 4

5 2.5 Mounting height and position of the brackets Mounting height: The awning can produce crushing forces and shear stresses, for instance between the drop profile and the casing, on the articulated arms and at the point where different profiles meet. To protect human safety, the mounting height must be at least 2.50m. If the situation requires a mounting height less than the stated minimum height, the awning must be operated exclusively with a switch mounted at a location from where the moving parts can be observed. Determination of the mounting height for wall-mounted awnings: The mounting height depends on the extended length and inclination of the awning. Please refer to the drawing on the right for basic orientation. Always ensure that there is sufficient headroom. The awning is appropriate to a limited extent as a means of protection against rain. In any event, the minimum inclination for such applications must be 14. The limitations of the use are defined in the relevant operating instructions. Position of the brackets: On the back of the casing of the awning, there are stickers with the definition of the bracket positions. Mark the positional points on the base material. Try to find the ideal position for the bracket center. The standard bracket fixing positions are shown in the table in Item 6, Annex A. Do not go beyond the limit areas of the bracket centers, this could lead to damages to or a malfunction of the awning. July 2014 Misprint and technical changes reserved. by WO&WO Art.-Nr.: _EN 5

Drilling holes for the brackets: Transfer the drilling outlines of the brackets to the determined bracket positions. When mounting the awnings, please observe the table in Item 2.6.

6 Drilling holes for the brackets: Transfer the drilling outlines of the brackets to the determined bracket positions. When mounting the awnings, please observe the table in Item 2.6. Select the appropriate drill bit for the respective base material and mounting method. 2.6 Mounting technique Due to the own weight of the awning and the maximum wind load, the dowels can be subjected to pulling forces up to 2,700N (approximately 270kg) if the awning is mounted on the wall, respectively up to 6,750N (approx. 675kg) if the awning is mounted on the ceiling. The following table defines the maximum dowel forces depending on the size of the awning, the type of bracket and the wind class (according to Table 2.3): TRL Sunbox maximum pulling forces depending on the system width \[N] Installation Width (mm) Extended length (mm) Wall Bracket type 3 x 200 mm 2 x 300 mm 1 x 200 mm 2 x 500 mm 1 x 200 mm Ceiling The standard number of supplied brackets is appropriate for these values if mounted in concrete. If the supporting capacity of the base material is less than that of concrete and if injection anchors are used, please consult a qualified mounting engineer. Up to an extended length of 3000mm, it is also possible to reduce the dowel forces by using a wider bracket. Downgrading of the wind class on the grounds of bad mounting conditions is permissible only in limit cases and subject to the agreement of the final user. 6

7 Mounting on thermally insulated facades: Insulating plaster and full multi-layer thermal insulation are not pressure stable. Therefore, it is necessary to use backing for the entire surface, or at least distancers for the area around the screws. The accompanying figure explains a possible variant: Insulation protection taken out Distance tube Bracket mounting: Loosely fasten all brackets and achieve true alignment. Even out irregularities of the base by using suitable spacers. Then tighten all screws and check that brackets are firmly attached. Reduce the projection of installation bolts to a minimum (max. 11mm), otherwise it is impossible to hook in the awning. 2.7 Fitting the awning Ensure that sufficient personnel is available to lift the awning. The awning weighs up to 75kg; the weights are defined on the packaging. Hook awning with the base profile into the bracket profile. Ensure that the position of the brackets coincides with the marked positions of the central supports. If the assy is hooked in correctly and if the length of the installation bolts is right, the awning will stay in place, but it must still be secured. A max. 11 mm Detail A Insert the bracket fasteners in the appropriate channel of the base profile, move to the right position and tighten the threaded pins with SW3 Allen key. This secures the awning and prevents it from falling down. July 2014 Misprint and technical changes reserved. by WO&WO Art.-Nr.: _EN 7

8 3. Initial operation Before the initial operation of the awning, remove all objects (e.g. ladders, tools etc.) from the full travel range (in/out) of the awning and from underneath the awning. During the trial operation, ensure that nobody is in this area there is a risk of injury in case of a malfunction. 3.1 With motor drive For trial operation, always use the test cable (no automatic control units etc.). In addition, the operator must be able to see the awning. If the test cable has not yet been connected, connect to the cable of the driving gear. The end position switches of the motors are factory set. However, readjustments on location according to the "motor adjustment manual" are possible. Fully extend awning and check switch-off point. In fully extended condition, the awning is optimally stretched. When winding up the awning for the first time, check that the covering is wound up properly and that the articulated arms fold correctly (parallel). Electrical installation work and connections to the mains must be carried out exclusively by a licensed electrical company. Electrical installation work and connections to the mains must be carried out exclusively by a licensed electrical company. 8
