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.

Do not put your hand between
movable parts when raising or
lowering the sunblind (e.g. front rail).
As long as the sunblind is in motion
persons must be kept away.
Using the product for the wrong
purpose:
Use the sunblinds solely for the given
purpose. Any wrong use can
endanger the user and result in
damage to the product. Do not
overload the sunblind, e.g. with
additional weights. If the product is
used for a different purpose, the right

Safety instructions
Accessibility of the operating
devices:
Place the operating switch within sight
of the unit, but not near any of the
moving parts. Never let children play
with the operating devices, such as:
hand-held radio transmitter, switches
or automatic devices. There is danger
of squashing, especially when
operating the unit with automatic
devices.
Fix the operating switch at a point
where the disabled also have access.
Automatic sunblinds in front of
balcony or terrace doors:
If a sunblind with motor drive, that is
connected to an automatic device, is
installed in front of the only access to
your balcony or terrace, you can lock
yourself out. Please switch off the
automatic device, if you enter the
balcony or the terrace.
Observe the motor runtime:
The motors used are not suitable for a
non-stop operation. The integrated
thermo protection switches the motor
off after approx. 4 minutes. After
approx. 10 to 15 minutes the product
is ready for use again.

Designated use
Sun protection
Thermal protection
Sight screen
Anti-glare blind
To avoid damage, do not use the units or retract the covers with strong wind, continuous
rain, snowfall or frost.
If the front-mounted blind is raised whilst wet (e.g. after rain), it must be lowered again later
to dry the cover.
If a wind sensor is used, please observe the building geometry, and set the wind sensor to
the lowest value.
Recommended maximum wind limit values
The HELLA front-mounted blinds of the type TERRA SIDE are defined according to CE
and are in accordance with EN 13561.
Wind resistance: Class 3
corresponds to wind force 6 on the Beaufort scale (10.5 –
13.4 m/s)
TERRA SIDE with wind sensor:
For the system to unlock by itself when there is wind, we recommend setting the maximum
wind speed at 20km/h (6m/s). This is an approximate value and can vary depending on the
size of the system and the position of the wind sensor and must be set specific to the
system.
TERRA SIDE must be rolled up when the wind speeds are higher.
TERRA SIDE M should only be operated under supervision. There may be
a malfunction in the automatic locking if the wind speeds are high. In this
case, retraction must be ensured manually.
The advantages of TERRA SIDE M are a clearly improved fabric tension by
the locking in the lower end position. Also higher wind stability of the cloth in
this.

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
"Guidelines for the
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.
Installation instructions and Instructions for use
Subject to technical modifications – Date of issue January/2023 15
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.

Case 1:
Glider is placed too close to
the guide rail.
Possible problem: Front rail
profile does not move out of
the locking device.
Solution: Position the basic
component to 25 mm.
Case 2:
Glider is placed too far away
from the guide rail.
Possible problem: The front
rail profile does not move
into the locking device or
stops unintentionally.
Solution: Position the basic
component to 21 mm.
If the distance towards the
floor level (7) falls below the
minimum distance, the front
rail profile can not move out
of the locking device either.

Installation
Adjusting the motor
If the unit is delivered with a motor drive, the end positions of the motor are
not pre-adjusted.
Therefore it is necessary to adjust the end position during the installation on
site.
Motors with electronic limit stops:
With these drives the adjustment of the end position is done via an
adjustment cable.
Radio motors:
With these drives the adjustment of the end position is done via the
corresponding hand-held radio transmitter.
Adjustment of the end position for TERRA SIDE
Lower end position: Must be programmed as fixed end position. The lower
switch off position should be approx. 20 mm before the end of the guide
rails at the bottom.
Upper end position: Upper end position with torque switch-off. After a few
cycles, a reduced torque is automatically set.
Adjustment of the end position for TERRA SIDE M
Lower end position: Lower end position with automatic locking. In the lower
end position the unit makes a counter-motion, which serves for the
tensioning of the cover.
Upper end position: Upper end position with torque switch-off. After a few
cycles, a reduced torque is automatically set.
Information about the correct procedure to adjust the end positions or the
automatic locking of the motor is given in the enclosed adjustment guide
lines for the motor.
Operating the automatic locking device without the automatic clamping
cycle of the drive (and for this reason reduced torque) can cause damage to
the locking system.

Subject to technical modifications – Date of issue January/2023 35
Fault removal
The front rail profile does not move out of the locking device
(alternately locking on the right and left side). Check, if both gliders of
the front rail profile are situated in the locking position. If it is locked on one
side only, lift the front rail profile slightly at the side that is not locked, and
move the unit towards the top again.
The front rail profile repeatedly does not move out of the locking
device. If the above-mentioned problem occurs several times, the guide rail
side covers must be removed and the locking pieces have to be adjusted
once again (see chapter “Fine adjustment of the locking device of the front
rail profile”). Check the gliders, which move in the locking pieces, for
damage. If the gliders are damaged, the gliders on the left as well as on the
right side of the front rail profile must be replaced.
One side of the front rail profile does not move into the locking device.
The guide rail side cover must be removed and the locking pieces must be
adjusted once again (see chapter “Fine adjustment of the locking device of
the front rail profile”). Check the gliders, which move in the locking pieces,
for damage. If the gliders are damaged, the gliders on the left as well as on
the right side of the front rail profile must be replaced, and the locking
pieces must be adjusted once again.

Activation guidelines for electric drives
The motors we use are drives with integrated planetary gear, brakes, limit
stops at the top and at the bottom, and thermo cut-off switches, also not
only a motor, but a complete drive system.
In some respect, the drives do NOT correspond to other household
electrical consumers. Please strictly observe the following notes and safety
instructions.
The construction, checking, commissioning and error-correcting of the
electrical system are only allowed to be carried out by an electrician (acc. to
VDE 0100). In case of improper connection, considerable danger can arise
for the user.
-Follow the wiring diagram precisely!
- We cannot accept responsibility for damage, that can result from
improper installation.
- Never simultaneously activate the drives with an UPWARDS and a
DOWNWARDS signal!
-Keep a break of approx. 0.5 seconds between the UPWARDS and
the DOWNWARDS command (is often neglected with Instabus EIB-
systems).
Drives with mechanical end position adjustment must not be controlled in
parallel.
Radio interference suppression
The drives are provided with a radio interference suppression according to
the current VDE standards and EC Guidelines. If the drives are operated
with other devices, that include interferences, it is the fitter's duty - as part of
the obligation to suppress interference - to ensure that the entire unit
complies with the current regulations.
Operation in wet spaces
The drives are "splash-proof"; if they are operated in wet spaces, the VDE-
guidelines, inter alia VDE 0100/Parts 701, 702, the guidelines of the local
electric supply companies and of the TÜV must be observed and fulfilled.
Both the instructions and notes given in these instructions, as well as
the instructions and notes given in the respective enclosed
instructions of the manufacturers of the drive systems must be
observed.

Connection directives for motor drive
Parallel connection of two or more drives
The drives of a commonly
controlled unit never have
precise running times!
Therefore, if several drives
are to be commonly
operated with one switch, a
separate contact should be
provided for every drive and
every running direction
(galvanic isolation of the
drives). Please see also to
the adjacent illustration.
Jointly controlling several
drives requires control
and/or automatic equipment.
Otherwise, there is the risk
that enormous loads occur,
that the limit switches get
destroyed and that the drive
malfunctions.
With several switches,
provide one-step or multi-
point control relays. When
controlling several drives,
use control equipment with
an interacting locking of
commands.
This regulation does not
apply for radio-controlled
and electronic drives.
