Safety instructions
Operation of the sunblind in case of
storm:
If the wind speed exceeds the
tolerable limiting value, close the
windows or raise the sunblind to the
upper end position. Take care, that no
draught can arise, even during your
absence. If the window is open, the
closed sunblinds cannot withstand all
wind loads. The recommended wind
limit values can be ensured only with
a closed window.
Operation of the sunblind in case of
frost or rain:
In case of frost the sunblind can
freeze shut. Avoid using force to
operate the sunblind and do not use it,
if there is snow or ice in the guide
rails. Do not operate the unit if it is
frozen solid. With automatic control
devices it is necessary to switch the
automatic control device off, if there is
danger of freezing.
If the front-mounted blind is raised
whilst wet (e.g. after rain), it must be
lowered again later to dry the cover.
Range of movement of the
sunblind:
Please make sure that no obstacles
block the guide rails of the sunblind.

Recommendations of operation for side seam guided HELLA vertical awnings
according to IVRSA
The wind classes according to DIN EN 13561 do not allow to draw conclusions as regards
the usability (extending/retracting/in-between positions) with real wind loads. The
requirements that must be met to fulfil the performance requirements are based on static
loads and do not observe the dynamic effects of recurrent occurring loads (turbulences),
which the cover and the frame are exposed to in the field. Therefore the static pressure
can not be used to specify the fastening of the awnings to the building.
Also the subfloor/the distance to the facade/the height/the corner situation influence the
maximum possible wind speed and are not considered in the standard (DIN EN
1932:2013-09 External blinds and shutters - Resistance to wind loads - Method of testing
and performance criteria) although these influencing factors have a significant influence on
the wind resistance of the product.
In the following application recommendations the wind speeds are specified in m/s.
The wind speeds used in the following table only apply with closed windows and if there is
no corner situation. Also the positioning and the number of wind warning devices used are
decisive for the relevant selection for the wind speed suitable for the object; especially the
building geometry and the building location must be considered.
We recommend the use of wind warning systems in combination with the appropriate
control devices to retract the sun protection devices with predefined wind forces after a set
time delay.
The following table from IVRSA (Industrieverband Technische Textilien – Rollladen –
Sonnenschutz e.V.) shows wind limit values for side seam guided, textile vertical awnings.
The unit should be retracted, when the lower limit value is reached.
Horizontal units, arc-shaped units do not meet the application criteria.

Interesting facts about awning covers
Awning covers may show the
below mentioned
characteristics. These do not
affect the proper use or
lifespan of the product.
Kink folds
These stripes may arise due to a kinking of
the cover when cutting, sewing or folding it.
Crayon effect
The impregnating agent used during the
production may cause light stripes in the
cover. Especially with dark-coloured covers
these light stripes
cannot be avoided, despite
correct handling.
Ripples
When rolling-up or unrolling the cover on the
shaft the cover is more tensioned in the area
of the hems, seams and panels than between
the seams. Tensionings of the cover resulting
therefrom may cause ripples (e.g. waffle-
weave pattern or herringbone pattern), which
leave marks in the cover. These ripples are
visible when the unit is extended.
Especially with side seam guided units, these
ripples in the marginal area are a result of the
manufacturing process and cannot be
avoided, because the cover and the zip-
fastener are lying on top of each other and
cover a different distance when the cover is
rolled-up or unrolled.

Interesting facts about awning covers
Formation of honeycomb structures
The formation of honeycomb structures is an
effect of the manufacturing process of the
cover and can not be avoided. Rain or
increased air humidity may intensify this
effect. Especially when the cover is retracted
in a wet condition, these honeycomb
structures leave clearly visible marks in the
cover.
Flaws in weaving
During the manufacturing process of the
cover it may happen that the threads tear or
that the thread thickness varies slightly. This
results in light points or knobs in the cover.
Further information can be
found in the documents

assessment of ready-made
awning covers" and

maintenance of awning
covers" of the Industrial

Servicing, maintenance and repair
An unintentional switching on of units with motor drive is possible. Make
sure that the automatic control device is switched off and that the current
supply is interrupted during cleaning or maintenance work.
Cleaning:
As an externally installed sun
protection, your units can get soiled
over time. This will not reduce the
usability of your unit. The powder-
coated parts will remain presentable
for longer, if they are cleaned
regularly with a soft woollen cloth.
Do not use solvents, alcohol (rubbing
alcohol) or scouring cleansing agents!
Use a mild household cleaner and a
soft cloth to wash down fingerprints
and light grease- or oil patches. Rinse
off with clear water and dry with a soft
cloth.
Hard water leaves traces of limescale.
Adding a little bit of vinegar to the
scouring water prevents this effect.
For cleaning of the cover, it is usually
sufficient to occasionally brush it down
using a soft brush or a duster.

Servicing, maintenance and repair
Never use a high-pressure cleaner. There is a risk that the surface of the
aluminium parts and the cover are affected by the pressure and the heat.
Maintenance:
All inspection and maintenance works
must be carried out by a specialised
company from HELLA or a HELLA
partner. Regularly check the electrical
wires of motor driven units for
damage. For this purpose it is
necessary to remove the top board
profile. Check the mechanical parts of
your unit for visible damage. After
exceptional events such as storm,
hail, sleet, maloperation or the like,
the unit must be checked for
noticeable damage prior to operating
it. If the unit is damaged, it must not
be used; consult authorized specialist
staff immediately. It is recommended
to have the unit maintained by
specialist staff on an annual basis.
This way wear is detected at an early
stage and damage to the unit is
prevented.
