1 KD and KD-double folding arm awning
Variants
The Erhardt KD folding arm awning is the KD-
series standard version with a single shading ele-
ment (canopy).
The Erhardt KD-double folding arm awning
( Ä “Erhardt KD-double folding arm awning”
on page 6) is an expanded version of the
standard awning and includes an additional vertical
shading element (valance).

4 Consoles
The cassette (Fig. 1/1) is attached to the bearing surface by the
consoles (Fig. 1/4). The drop bar (Fig. 1/3) is connected to the
folding arms (below the canopy) and the canopy (Fig. 1/2).
Pressing a directional button causes the drop bar and the canopy
to extend or retract.
The electric drive can optionally be controlled through permanent
wiring with directional buttons, through a switch knob, by radio
remote control or by an automatic controller.

The cassette (Fig. 2/1) is attached to the bearing surface by the
consoles (Fig. 2/4). The drop bar (Fig. 2/3) is connected to the
folding arms (below the canopy) and the canopy (Fig. 2/2).
Pressing a directional button causes the end rail and the canopy to
extend or retract. If required, the valance (Fig. 2/6) can be lowered
for additional shading in any position. The weighting bar (Fig. 2/5)
pulls the valance downwards and ensures that it does not flap.
The electric drive can optionally be controlled by radio remote con-
trol or by an automatic controller.
The valance’s electric drive is controlled through the WEP trans-
mitter/receiver module.
Optional ambient lighting for the awning is available in the form of
LED strips that are installed permanently in the cassette; these can
be dimmable. The ambient lighting is operated using a radio
remote control.

stripes can result in dangerous situations.
– Applying additional loads to the awning by sus-
pending objects from or leaning objects against
the awning or by tying ropes to it may cause
damage to the awning or cause it to collapse.

formed by qualified electricians only.
– Electrical components may only be connected if
the specifications on the type plate match the
power supply voltage.
– Observe the enclosed documentation for the
electrical components.

WARNING!
Risk of injury due to static charge!
The awning fabric can accumulate a strong
charge. Skin contact may result in static discharge,
in turn posing a consequential risk, e.g. through
falling.
– Equalise potentials by touching non-conductive
materials.
WARNING!
Risk of damage to eyes due to direct eye con-
tact with the lamp
Longer eye contact with a switched-on lamp can
damage the eyes.
– Avoid direct eye contact with the lamp.
WARNING!
Danger due to failure to heed warnings in other
applicable documents!
These instructions deal exclusively with the
awning. In combination with the various options,
hazards that are not described in these operating
instructions may arise.
– Adhere to the other applicable documents as
well ( Ä “Other applicable documents”
on page 3).
WARNING!
Risk of crushing through moving parts!
The awning’s moving parts pose a risk of crushing.
– Secure the support arms and the end rail during
assembly.

risk of injury due to falling.
– Use suitable safety gear.
– Never fasten or lean climbing aids on the
awning.
– Use climbing aids that stand firmly and offer suf-
ficient handholds.

WARNING!
Risk of injury due to improper disassembly or
reassembly!
Improper disassembly or reassembly poses an
increased risk of injury due to moving parts or
working at height.
– Have disassembly/reassembly be performed
only by a qualified fitter.
– If reassembly is planned, make sure that all of
the awning’s documentation is available.
Request any missing documents from Erhardt.
– Make sure sufficient space is available before
beginning work.
– Handle exposed, sharp-edged components with
care.
– Keep the workspace tidy and clean! Loosely
stacked or scattered components and tools
pose a risk of accident.
– Disassemble components properly. Note that
some of the components are heavy. If neces-
sary, use lifting gear.
– Secure components to prevent them from falling
or toppling over.
– Consult Erhardt in any cases of doubt.

WARNING!
Risk of injury if wind class is exceeded!
When the wind class is exceeded, the awning may
tear free and cause serious injury. The awning’s
wind class depends decisively on the type and
quantity of fastening elements and the properties
of the bearing surface.
– Only use the awning up to the wind class speci-
fied by the manufacturer.
– In windy regions subject to frequent power grid
failure, install a back-up power supply.
NOTICE!
Property damage due to deep discharge of the
battery pack!
The drive motor for the Erhardt KD-double awning
valance is fitted with an inductive battery pack. If
the awning is disconnected from the power supply
for a long period, and especially at low tempera-
tures, there is a risk of deep discharge.
– Only disconnect the awning from the power
supply in an emergency.
NOTICE!
Risk of property damage when extending the
awning!
When extending the awning, there is a risk of it
falling or becoming damaged.
– Remove fallen leaves and other foreign objects
from the awning.
– Do not extend the awning in freezing weather or
when it is snowing.
– Remove any obstacles.

assembly! This can be done by wearing ESD
gloves, for example.
At least two people are required to assemble the
awning.
Personnel: nQualified fitter
Protective equipment: nHearing protection
nIndustrial helmet
nSafety shoes
nProtective goggles
1. Check that the scope of delivery is complete.
2. Check the bearing surface’s load bearing capacity.
3.
Suitable fastening materials
–When installing outdoors, use stainless
steel bolts.
–In the vicinity of swimming pools, use
galvanised steel bolts to counter the risk
of corrosion posed by higher chlorine con-
tent in the air.
–To prevent contact corrosion, do not use
steel and stainless steel parts together.
Keep suitable fastening materials to hand (not included in
scope of supply).

4 Mounting the awning
Personnel: nQualified fitter
Protective equipment: nHearing protection
nIndustrial helmet
nSafety shoes
nProtective goggles
1. Determine the mounting height of the console.
Positioning
–Make sure a sufficient distance remains to
other objects when the awning is fully
extended (Fig. 8/X).
–Make sure there is sufficient headroom
beneath the awning (Fig. 8/Y). In public
spaces, observe the applicable regula-
tions.
2. Align the consoles horizontally.
The wall console enlargement (six fastening
screws) can be used if the mounting surface
does not offer enough support with four fas-
tening screws per console or if an element of
the building has to be bridged (e.g. expan-
sion joint).
Use a spirit level or a drawstring for hori-
zontal alignment of the fastening holes.
