Safety instructions
A sun protection device with electric drive cannot be retracted without
current. We therefore recommend the use of an emergency power
generating unit or a motor with an emergency crank handle, especially in
regions with frequent power failures.
If the curtain of the selected element has more than 20 kg, an additional
fixing device has to be provided for the box.
Danger of suffocation!
Ensure that the foil cannot get into the hands of children. Keep the foil in a
safe place.
ATTENTION!
For children/adults a lowered blind is
no protection against a fall out of the window!

Safety instructions
Attention! Risk of injury or danger to life due to an electric shock!
- Set-up, examination, commissioning and error correction of the unit must
only be performed by authorised or trained expert staff (as per VDE
0100).
- Switch off the current to the connecting lines when working at the unit.
There is danger to life! Take safety precautions against unintentional
switching on!
- Check the electrical wires regularly for damage. Do not use the unit if
any damage is found.
- Our electrically driven units are in accordance with the regulations for
power plants acc. to VDE 0100. We cannot guarantee for the operational
reliability of the unit with non-approved modifications.
- White motor cables are not UV-resistant and must therefore be routed in
empty conduits, cable ducts, or similar.
- The enclosed installation instructions of the electrical devices supplied
must be observed.
Before operating the unit make sure, that the blind is free movable. If,
during lowering, the roller shutter curtain abuts against an obstacle (e.g. a
lost object on the window sill), the unit may be damaged.
Take care that windows, that are opened towards the outside, remain
closed when raising or lowering the blind.
Units with motor drive:
The drives used are operated with a voltage of AC 230V/50Hz. Please
check the power supply provided by your utility company before connecting.
Any other voltage can destroy the drives.
Formation of condensation water:
Do not let the window tilted for extended periods of time, when the roller
shutter curtain is lowered. Otherwise condensation water will form on the
blind. If the outside temperatures are below the freezing point, this will lead
to the formation of ice.

Safety instructions
Operation during storms:
During strong winds 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
given wind class is only guaranteed with
a closed window.
Operation during heat:
On hot summer days a heat
accumulation may occur behind closed
roller shutter curtains - distortion of
plastic profiles (reaching the
dimensional stability under heat Vicat
softening temperature). In order to
prevent damage, the blinds must be
opened so far that all light gaps are
opened. Due to rear ventilation, the
distortion of the plastic profiles (roller
shutter curtains) is reduced!

- Cover the boxes with materials that are impervious to light.
- Do not use transparent foils, because this can cause the welding of the
EPS due to the possibly occurring lens effect.
Protection of the product during construction phase
During the construction phase, the element to be mounted must be
protected against the weather. Materials made of EPS must be plastered
within three months.
Recommendations:
- Protection of the insulating material by applying a plaster base
- Covering the upper surface (do not use transparent foils!)

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. If the unit is
operated manually, the operating crank handle must be unhooked and
kept in a safe place.

Servicing, maintenance and repair
Cleaning:
As a sun protection device fixed
outside, your units can get dirty in the
course of 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.
Never press the profiles sharply, there
is risk of snapping. Never use a high-
pressure cleaner. There is a risk that
the surface of the profiles is affected
by the pressure and the heat.
Remove regularly dirt or objects from
the guide rails.

Servicing, maintenance and repair
Maintenance:
All inspection and maintenance works
must be carried out by a HELLA
specialised company or a HELLA
partner. Regularly check the electrical
wires of motor driven units for
damage. Check the mechanical parts
of your roller shutter 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.
Repair:
Improper repair works may cause both risk of injury to persons or
damage to the units.
Repair works must be carried out by a HELLA specialist company or a
partner company of HELLA.
Only use original spare parts from HELLA.

Operating guidelines
Motor drive:
By operating a switch, a hand-held radio
transmitter or an automatic device, the
roller shutter moves "Up or Down". The
end points of the drive are adjusted ex
works. Please observe the enclosed
instructions of the manufacturer of the
drive, if any modification is required.
The roller shutter stops by releasing a
touch contact switch or - if a locking
pushbutton is used - by pushing the
counter or stop button.
Please refer to the enclosed instructions
of the manufacturer for operating
possibilities via control devices.
Emergency
crank
handle
For operating with the power supply intact, refer to the operating
instructions for the motor drive. For operating in the event of a power failure,
refer to the operating instructions for the crank handle drive.
Operate the emergency crank handle in exceptional cases (power failure).
Never use the switch and the crank handle at the same time. Due to the
high gear transmission ratio (18:1, 27:1 or 30:1 depending on the engine),
crank handle operation is possible with little effort. If the roller shutter
curtain is in the upper or lower end position, this can be recognised by the
high resistance on the crank rod. Do not continue to turn the crank handle in
the wrong direction, otherwise the system will be damaged.
Check the direction of rotation of the crank handle by turning it slightly and
mark the correct direction of rotation when using the crank handle for the
first time.
After using the emergency crank handle, move the roller shutter curtain by
means of the crank handle at least to a distance of 20 cm from the end
positions before the motor is controlled again by the control unit. This way,
an electronic drive recognises the changed end positions and re-learns
them.
