1. INTRODUCTION
The Harol surface mounted roller shutter is an ideal shutter for renovations.
It oers the possibility to have shutters installed even if there was no space provided
forshutters during the construction of the house.
This manual gives a step-by-step explanation on how to install these shutters.
2. GENERAL WARNINGS
!Please read the entire manual before starting with the installation. These instructions
have been drawn up for use by trained installers and therefore are not suitable for use
by amateurs or trainees.
!Always wear the appropriate safety clothing.
!Always take the necessary precautions. Ensure that you have a robust footing.
!Ensure that there is adequate light in the installation area. Remove obstacles and dirt.
Make sure that no other persons than the installers are present. Unauthorised persons
can get in the way or be at risk during the installation.
!While operating the shutter, make sure you have a clear view of the shutter at all times
to protect other persons against crush hazards. Beware of obstacles below the shutter.
!All electrical connections must be made according to the statutory provisions of the
relevant country. This is the responsibility of the installer.

3. GUARANTEE, TERMS AND CONDITIONS
• Harol has endeavoured to design and manufacture this shutter in compliance with
the current CE standards. Always check that our version complies with your own
national standards institute.
• No rights can be derived from these instructions whatsoever. Technical modifications
are reserved without written notification.
• For large projects we strongly advise you to first fit one complete shutter before
fitting the remaining shutters. This will help detect any potential faults early on and
enable them to be remedied at the lowest possible cost.
• For our general terms and conditions of sale, please refer to the price list.
• Make sure the shutter box can always be opened so the mechanical parts inside can
be reached easily. If this rule is not respected, Harol cannot be held responsible for

5. ASSEMBLY IN 10 STEPS
5.1. Unpacking and checking
a. Check the package
Check the package for any damage before removing the complete packaging from
around the box and guide rails.
Be careful when cutting the straps with a knife. Opening the cardboard box carelessly
may result in damage to the paint.
b. Check the product
Before starting with the installation it is advisable to accurately check the contents
forcompleteness and for any transport damage.
c. Check the height and width
Measure the main dimensions:
• Width = measured from the back of the guide rails
• Height = total height
Check the width of the shutter box and measure the window opening. Verify that both
match the desired mounting position.
Also check the height of the guide rails (including the end stop), and make sure they
correspond to the height of the window.

5.2. The wall cardan joint
− The cable duct or tape guide is usually found in the shutter unless otherwise requested.
It is important, however, to ensure there is a cardan joint before starting the installation.
− Measure the distance of the cardan joint (motor cable, gearbox, tape operation) on
the shutter box and mark the position on the wall or window frame. The easiest way
to determine this position is by placing a guide rail in the correct position against the
wall. Use the top of the guide rail as a point of reference.
A (1 : 1.5)
A (1 : 2)
− Carefully drill from the outside to the inside of the wall (bore hole 10 mm for motor
cable, 14 mm for crank, 20 mm for tape guide). A tube is pressed into the hole for
thetape guide to prevent damage to the tape.
− When drilling through the wall you will achieve the best results if, while drilling, someone
exerts some pressure against the inside of the wall with a piece of wood or something
similar. Use a rotating drill rather than a hammer drill for the last part.
− When drilling through the window frame make sure that you do not drill into the
glasssection!

5.3. Making attachment holes in the guide rails
Determine where you want the attachment holes in the guide rail (3 for each metre
ofheight).
If the guide rail needs to be drilled from the side, then first drill a 6.5 mm hole sideways
through the hollow box and then drill a 9.5 mm hole in the front (after securing the
screws you can fill in the hole using the PVC buttons supplied).
Hole of 6.5 through both sides Hole of 9.5 through the front
If the guide rails need to be drilled from the back, start by drilling a 6.5 mm hole inside
the guide rail through the hollow box and then drill the inside front hole with a thicker
9.5 mm drill. Be careful not to damage the joints of the guide rail!
Hole of 6.5 through both sides Hole of 9.5 through the front
Always leave a distance of 8 cm or more from the top edge (pivot for console!).
Box model P has an opening in the pivot for the console (at 40 mm from the top
oftheguide rail) and this point can be used as the top screw hole.

5.4. Placing the guide rails on the consoles
Remeasure the height and if necessary saw the guide rails to size.
Cut away the joint at the top of the guide rail, where you find the entry guide
oftheguide rail.
B (2.8 : 1)
If included, carefully remove the fork clamps on the bottom lath (and if necessary gently
pull down the bottom lath a little) and drop the pivots for the console into the hollow boxes
of the guide rails. Place the console with the pivots facing upwards on a piece of cardboard
on the floor. Then place the guide rails over the respective pivots for the console.

Turn everything around. Do this with at least two people so that both the guide rails and
the box are supported! If the box is not supported the pivots for the console may break o!
Then place everything against the wall or in the opening.

5.5. Marking the drill holes
Mark the holes to be drilled for mounting the guide rails on the wall based on the
pre-drilled lateral guides. Always make sure that everything is level.

5.6. Drilling the attachment holes
Remove the shutter from the wall and with at least two people place it carefully
onaflatsurface on a piece of cardboard. Be careful not to damage the paint!
Next, drill the screw holes and insert the correct rawlplugs.
Attention!
When drilling the guide rails against the window profile, do not drill
intotheglass!

5.7. Installing the shutter
Pick up the shutter from the floor and – with at least two people – place it in the position
where you want to install it. Make sure that the motor cable (tape/cord) slides correctly
into the cardan joint.

Secure the fastening bolts of the guide rails and if possible also screw the consoles
tightly into the wall (and for larger dimensions also the box).

5.8. Connections
Motor:
• For motorised operation, the electrical connections must always be made according
to the applicable directives of the country where the shutter is being fitted.
Witheach motor the necessary diagrams (wiring diagram and alignment directives)
and installation instructions are included depending on the motor type and/or home
electronics accessories selected.
Wiring diagram for the standard OXIMO motor:
Attention!
Before connecting the motor make sure the power is disconnected.

b Brown Phase S1
c Black Phase S2
d Green/Yellow Earthing
Attention!
With a DVC with center conductor 120 or 121, in combination with an Oximo or
RS100 motor, the top point must be adjusted with the transmitter.

Crank:
Push the square rod of the universal joint on the crank handle supplied into the previously
drilled bushing, until the bar stock is pushed far enough through the opening to engage
with the gear box. Determine the required length of the bar stock and shorten it if
necessary by cutting o the surplus length.
It is important to position the cardan joint in such a way that the bar stock does not
laterally chafe the wall of the bushing, at any point at any time. Also ensure that the bar
stock is positioned straight in the bushing and is not bent nor twisted. Drill the holes
(Ø3.2 mm) and screw the cardan joint tightly to the mounting surface.

Slide the foldable crank handle over the round part of the cardan joint and use the split
pen to connect the two items. Slide the locking bush over the pin. Decide whether to
position the crank handle clip on the window frame or on the wall and secure the clip.

If a detachable crank with a rod coupling needs to be fitted: in this case the detachable
crank is provided with a cone-shaped end piece. A split pin is then inserted into the
suspended conical part of the cardan joint. The crank can then be attached or detached
from the cardan joint by turning the handle.
