A. Introduction
The PR200- range comprises the 3 awnings PR210, PR220 and PR230. This is a 3- tube system. The
construction is caracterized by the fact that consoles, roller tube and the folding arms are fitted onto
the Torque bar.. The standard type ( 2 arms )of this range allows a projection of 3,5 meters and a width
of 6 meters.
B. General warnings !
For a safe fitting, use and maintenance of this sun protection a number of precautions have to be
taken. For the safety of everyone concerned, please do take notice of the following general warnings !
! This manual is meant to be used by professionals only! It is not to be used bij DIY-enthusiasts or
apprentice fitters.
! Before you start ,please do read these instructions thoroughly.
! Be very careful and make sure of a solid footing whilst operating
! Provide sufficent light in the fitting area. Dispose of obtsacles and dirt. Make sure that, except for
the fitters, no other people are in the fitting area. Unauthorized people might be in the way or at risk
themselves.
! Whilst operating the system, you must be able to overlook the complete area and the whole of the
sun protection. There are a number of places where people might get injured. Especially watch the
following parts where people might risk getting jammed : the folding arms, the extension pole and
the casing.
! Folding arms are always under considerable tension, a tension created by their own springs. There-
fore, be careful and work safely.
! Electrical connections have to be made in accordance with the existing local norms and requirements.
! Our products must be installed so that all parts remain accessible at all times for maintenance and
eventual repairs. If this is not the case, Harol cannot be held responsible for any additional costs (f.e.
demolition activities, repairs to facades and interior walls) as a result of this.

The awning has been designed as a sun protection and for that reason it may not be
used as an all-weather protection. In case of heavy rain or wind the awning has to be
closed immediately. Therefore we recommend to use the sun protection in combina-
tion wth an automated wind/sun – control.

D. Assembly manual
D1. Opening the packaging:
Open the cardboard packaging. Be careful when using a knife to cut the straps. If the cardboard is slit
open carelessly, the paint can quite easily get scratched. You might even cut right through the fabric.
It is advisable to remove the plastic wrapping from the ends only, since during assembly, the plastic
protects the fabric from dirt.
D2. Checking the contents:
The PR200 is delivered, ready for assembly. They come with the necessary screws.
An exception to the rule is made for coupled awnings of more than 7 metre with a continuous fabric.
In this case the fabric will be joined to the awning on site.
Carefully check the package contents and, before embarking on any of the assembly activities, measure
the main dimensions.
D3. Assembling the consoles:
Take the consoles out of the packaging and divide them over the number of folding arms (figure 1).
If more consoles are supplied than there are arms, with the wider screens,
then the other console is placed in the middle of the screen, against the sag
from its own weight. As a temporary measure, slide the consoles onto the
awning assembly pole, so that you can easily measure the distance to the
exterior.
Then, mark the location of the consoles on the wall, taking into account the
following:
a. The awning must be positioned in such a way as to leave the same distance
between the left-hand and the right-hand edge of the awning and the
frame of the window.
b. The consoles must be placed horizontally at right angles to the pole. If nec-
essary, use cord and level.
c. In order to allow for sufficient through height (C) underneath the extension
pole, it is essential to fit the awning sufficient high up the wall.
The minimal angle of the awning is approximately 10 degrees. The maximum angle is approxi-
mately 45 degrees. A sloping clearance of 350 cm (A), corresponds to a minimal gradient of 61 cm and
maximum 247 cm, irrespective of the height of the extension pole. You can find an indication for the
measures in the table for minimal angles.
Make sure that the consoles are always as close as possible to the arms fittings,
on the inside of the arms.

Now, drill the attachment holes for the wall screws.
D4. Hooking in the awning:
Hold the awning at both ends and hook the assembly pole in the consoles. Check whether the awning
is centred.
The awning is now ready for further adjustment.
D5. Adjusting the angle:
Unroll the awning and check the position of the angle (for operating the
awning: see point D7 and D8).
The awnings are delivered from the factory at a standard angle of approxi-
mately 10 degrees to the horizontal.
It will always be necessary to adjust the awning to compensate for any
unevenness in the wall, even when the minimal sloping is acceptable.
The awning is provided with two tilting mechanisms, to which the arms are
fitted. First unscrew the inner-hexagonal pointed screw A near the two tilting
pads.

If the walls are made of cellular concrete or hollow brick, the correct type of screw
must be used, e.g. coach bolts, etc. For this, take comprehensive advice from your sup-
plier of attachment materials. The company Harol accepts no responsibility for any
attachment screws that come loose.
Warning:
- When attaching consoles, do not use screws with large heads or thick washers. Pro-
truding heads may damage the fabric when it is rolled up and down.
- It is advisable to order extra assembly brackets if the walls are suspect.
Tighten the attachment screws of the consoles firmly before operating the awning.

This adjusting screw is located on the lower side of the tilting mechanisms.
These adjusting screws operate to block both mechanisms and prevent the awning from blowing over.
Once the pointed screws A have been removed, the head of the adjusting screw B is freed and can be
operated using an Allen key.
Attention! Be sure to use an Allen key 7.
If adjusting screw B is turned to the right, the extension pole is raised, and if turned to the left, the
extension pole is lowered. When turning, support the arm ends. A screw will turn more easily if it is not
supporting the weight of the arm. This certainly will apply if the arms have to be raised.
To be sure that the pole is horizontal, stand in front of the middle of the awning.
Look over the extension pole towards the cover to ensure that both sections are parallel.
Once the angle is correct, both tilting mechanisms must be securely tightened. To do this, tighten both
pointed screws ‘A’. Now, replace the covers on the side consoles.
The PR200 adjusting mechanism will guarantee continuous control of the awning. The system is both
accurate and simple to operate. It is therefore essential to ensure that the awning is perfectly horizon-
tal. The correct setting of the tilting mechanism will also facilitate the rest of the assembly.
D6. Adjusting the extension pole:
The distance between the extension pole and the housing will depend on the angle of the arms. In
order to vary the distance between the pole and the housing and to position the extension pole cor-
rectly, both arms are provided with a rotational system, always allowing the front frame to be correctly
positioned.
Follow these instructions.
Roll back the awning. Study the position of the extension pole
and see what adjustments are required to allow the extension
pole to fit correctly.
Now, unroll the awning, allowing head and shoulder room

between the awning and extension pole and ensuring that the bolts C of the rotational system can be
easily operated. To adjust the front frame, unscrew C in the rotational mechanism on both arms.
Tip: the more the arms are closed, the less the fabric is tightened the easier the adjustment.
When these screws are loose, the tension of the fabric will rotate the front frame, with the upper side
towards the wall. The front frame can now be correctly positioned by rotating it. Then quickly tighten
screw A. The front frame is now fixed in position.
D7. Crank handle operation:
The standard operation device is a worm-screw mechanism supplied with a transmission ratio of 1 to
7. This mechanism requires no special adjustment. Only a few factors must be taken into account:
- The crank handle should be positioned as near as possible in line with the eye-hoisting device while
turning.
- Ensure with this type of awning that the fabric rolls down along the top.
- Fully unroll the awning until the arms are almost in straight line, at which point the arms have
reached their maximum load-bearing limit.
D8. Electric motor:
For connecting or adjusting the electric motor, see point E1 and E2.
D9. Coupled awnings:
Depending on your order, awnings can be coupled in two different ways.
a. Continuous fabric
In this case, the fabric will be joined to the awning on site. Take the following steps. Place both parts of
the awning in the consoles and join the supporting poles, the top roller, the covers and the extension
pole. Use the links supplied and fasten them tightly.
When both components have been attached to the wall and coupled, the awning must be left open
– this is to be able to assemble the fabric.
Proceed as follows: attach around the front pole a number of long (2 x pole) and sufficiently strong
Great care must be taken there. The arms are under great stress. Before having taken
the necessary precautionary measures never remove the straps that keep the arms in
a closed position.

cords or straps (spread across the whole length of the front pole). Then pull the cords and/or straps
over the bearing pole. Now spread the ends of the different cords among the necessary persons. When
the straps of the arms are loosened one can, using the cords, hold the front frame steady and slowly let
it fall.
Then take the fabric and pull it with the border and fabric rod over the entire length through the fabric
groove of the front frame (take care for marks from dirty hands).
Note! The fabric is provided with a thick and thin fabric rod. Use the seam with the thick fabric rod!
The thin fabric rod immediately comes out of the fabric groove.
Now further unfold the fabric and pull it along above the
roller axle. Ensure that the roller axle has the fabric groove
facing forward. Pull the fabric further behind the roller axle
up to the fabric groove. The seam with the thin fabric rod
inside can now be clipped in the fabric groove. Work step by
step and make sure the clips are firmly attached along the
whole length. Slip the liner bearing of the fabric roller support
into a position which will allow the fabric to be rolled up with-
out getting caught. The support has to be positioned under-
neath the reinforcement strip. If the support
is not fitted underneath the reinforcement
strip, the fabric will crease at that point and
may even catch behind the support. Then roll
the fabric on the top roller. Watch in which
direction the fabric turns.
With a PR200 awning, the fabric should
always travel over the top of the axle.
Fully unroll the awning. Make sure that the fabric rolls up straight on the top pole,
and adjust if required. Check that both arm pairs fold back simultaneously. If
significant differences occur, the attachment of the arm to the extension pole has
to be moved.
b. Two fabrics and a fabric split covering
Where there are two fabrics and a fabric split covering, two complete awnings
will be supplied, one of which is provided with the joint drive mechanism, and the
other with a coupling. Position the consoles on the wall and follow the instruc-
tions applicable to a single awning slipping the part with the drive into these
supports.
Take the second section of the linked awning and slip it into the supports. Position
the two sections opposite each other, ensuring that the two fabric grooves are in
one line with each other. Lock the coupling discs using the set screws.
If the connection is not entirely correctly implemented, the fabric of the coupled
part may hang somewhat slack. For this reason the coupling discs are provided
with set screws and can be turned slightly in relation to each other to tension the
slack fabric.

Assembly instructions awnings PR210-PR220-PR230
If the awning is provided with a fabric split covering,
the assembly pole will be fitted with two supports to
carry the fabric roller close to the coupling. Attention!
Both supports are identical.
Ensure that the left support is so assembled that the
round recess points upwards.
The right support must be so mounted that the longer
hole points upward.
Place the spring-loaded axle and the fabric in the sup-
ports at the front of the assembly pole.
If required, shift the support to engage the spring
roller.
The fabric of the spring-loaded axle must always roll down from the top. This corresponds with the
direction of the arrows indicated to the axle.
Apply approximately 7 full turns of pre-tension to the spring-loaded axle before pulling the end of
the fabric to the front as far as the extension pole. (The narrow fabric is positioned beneath the large
fabrics). Pull the two extension poles out just a little and slip the fabric of the fabric split covering into
the groove of the extension pole. Then link the front pole using the coupling part supplied.
If the extension is 350 cm, the fabric split covering can make 28 revolutions before the spring will
reach maximum tension.
D10. Variovolant
If the awning is supplied with a Variovolant, we give you the next tip-off: the gear wheel mechanism of
the Variovolant is not supplied with a fixed touch, so that the fabric could roll up wrongly in the exten-
sion pole. Take care that the fabric always rolls over the upper side at the front.

E. Connection of the single-pole switch and setting of the motor
E1-Single-pole switch
Firstly, connect the electric cable of the motor to a test cable.
Four wires exit the motor: yellow-green (earth), blue (neutral), brown and black (up- and down direc-
tion). Three wires exit the fuse box: yellow-green (earth), blue (neutral) and a phase wire.
Connect the wires according to the diagram. The phase wire exiting the fuse box is to be connected
to clamp P. If necessary, reverse the brown and black wire of the motor within the switch, so that the
arrows on the switch correspond to the raising and lowering direction of the awning.
Connect the two blue wires in the housing of the switch by means of a cable clamp. Do the same for the
two earth wires.

E2-Setting of the end switches of the motor
In principle the motor is already set at the factory, but it may
be necessary to change the setting.
For this proceed as follows:
For a LT-motor (PR210 – PR220):
First remove the yellow cap from the adjusting buttons.
Press in both buttons fully to against their stops so that they
remain a little deeper. The end settings are then fully removed in both directions.
Now allow the awning to roll out until the desired position is reached.
Note: never allow arms to go past their straightened position but stop them a little before. Then place
the switch to its neutral.
Press the white button (or yellow, depending on the building-in side) so that it rises slightly. Check the
roll-down direction of the fabric roll and establish which arrow on the motor corresponds with the
required rotational direction.
The buttons have the shape of a rounded arrow. The button, whose rounded side points at the rota-
tional direction of the fabric, is the button for adjusting that rotational direction. Push this adjusting
button once, so that is rises slightly. At that moment the roll-down direction is set.
Roll the blind up, until the extension pole touches the box.
Press the white button (or yellow, the other one, for the upper position) so that is rises slightly.
Replace the cover cap on the buttons.
The end switches of the motor are set now.
Important: If the awning unrolls too far without stopping automatically, turn the switch in the reverse
position and let the motor run for a while and then stop.
Push the corresponding adjusting button once again; in order to set the end switch to a neutral posi-
tion.
Let the motor run for a while and stop at the desired position. Push this last adjusting button once
again in order to set the new adjusting point.
Always check whether the motor is actually switched off when reaching its top position. A humming
sound after the extension pole is folded up, means that the motor is not adjusted properly. The motor
does not stop in time.
For a SLT-motor (PR230):
Remove the yellow cover cap from the buttons.
Press the buttons against their stops so that they remain a little deeper.
The end settings are fully removed in both directions.
Now allow the awning to roll out until the desired position is reached.
Note: never allow the arms to go past their straightened position but stop them a little before. Then
place the switch to its neutral position.
Press the white button (or yellow, depending on the building-in side) so that it rises slightly.
Then roll up the awning again and stop at a distance of 10 cm before the closing of the awning.
Then press the blue setting button.

- 11 -08-2020
Assembly instructions awnings PR210-PR220-PR230
Let the motor run down for 20 cm.
Close the awning completely. One can hear the motor hum for a few seconds, then it switches itself off.
Replace the cover cap on the buttons. The end switches of the motor are now set.

E3. Why use a MRI 2?
When the same switch operates different motors a relay box must always be used.
If relay boxes are not used, the built-in limit switches of the motor will very quickly burn due to the
high inductive and capacitive voltages that can be generated between them.
Good advice: always use the switches and relay boxes supplied by us.

F. Fault-finding
Your Harol awnings are 100% checked before they leave the factory. It is therefore highly unlikely that
faults could be present whereby e.g. the motor does not work after assembly. Before contacting our
services it is advisable to first thoroughly check a number of points. These points below will probably
already provide the solution:
F1. The motor does not stop on time or it stops too early:
Adjust the settings of the motor properly according to the method described.
Make sure the SLT motor stops itself after only about 5 seconds after reaching the housing.
One can hear this by the throbbing noise of the motor that can still be heard for a short while in the
housing.
F2. The motor does not run in or out:
- Is there 230V at the switch?
Check this with a voltmeter or a test lamp.
- Check whether the motor has not thermally fused.
In this case it is sufficient to wait 15 minutes until the motor cools off.
- Check in the two directions whether the motor is in its extreme position.
- Check that the cable is not broken between the motor and the switch.
- Directly test the motor using a regulating cable.
F3. The end profile is deeper against the cover on one side than the other:
- This may be because the fabric has not been rolled up evenly.
- Check that the fabric on the top roller and the extension pole are exactly parallel.
- If necessary, adjust the fabrics on the pole.
- Fabrics are attached to the border of the extension pole by a plug.
If the fabric continues to roll up unevenly, add an extra piece of fabric to one of the side seams.
F4. The arms will not come in simultaneously:
- If the attachment points of the arms on the extension pole are not at a correct distance from each
other, one of the two arms will close slightly quicker than the other.
- Roll the fabric up almost fully but ensure that sufficient space is left to apply the Allen key to the
clamping plate on the inside of the extension pole.
- Roll the awning up a bit further and shift the arms, ensuring that the central articulated points of the
arms are in line.
- If necessary, shift the extension pole in its entirety and move it to the middle of the two lateral plates.
- Tighten the screws in the clamping plate with the Allen key.
F5. The awning makes a cracking sound:
Tighten the clamping screws of the side consoles very well.
Be careful: the arms are under constant tension and may slide in the groove.

G. Mounting the side flaps
Please, remove the lateral fabric before closing the awning.
Harol reserves the right to make changes at any time to the construction without having to inform the
client beforehand, and therefore without having to adapt existing installations.
