Safety instructions
These installation instructions refer to prefabricated elements, that (1) for
100% are made from parts, which are defined by us, and (2) which are
made in manufacturing processes, which are defined by us too; in all other
cases we do not provide any guarantee!
The safety instructions as well as the appropriate instructions must be read
carefully before installation and use. In case of non-observance of the
directions and information given in these instructions and in case of
improper installation and operation or unintended use, the manufacturer
shall not accept any warranty claims concerning any damage to the
product. In these cases, the liability for consequential damage to any parts
or persons is ruled out as well.
- Follow the described installation steps and pay attention to
recommendations and notes.
- Keep these instructions in a safe place.
- All installation and removal works, as well as maintenance and repair
works are only allowed to be carried out by authorised and qualified
specialist staff.
- If switching, automatic or radio control devices are used to operate the
units, the information given in the enclosed instructions of the
manufacturer must be observed.
- During operation do not put your hand into or touch movable parts.
- Ensure that clothing or body parts cannot get caught on the unit.
- Observe the regulations for prevention of accidents of the employer's
liability insurance association!
- Before operation check the unit for visible damage. If the unit is
damaged, it should not be used; please consult authorized specialist
staff immediately.

Safety instructions
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!
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.

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 in case of frost:
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 sunblind if it is frozen solid.
The automatic control devices must be
switched off if there is a risk of freezing.
Travel range:
Please make sure that no obstacles
block the guide rails of the sunblind.

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

Storing
- Keep dry when storing!
- 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

protected against the weather. Materials made of EPS must be plastered
within three months.
Recommendations:

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 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 slats sharply, there is risk of snapping. Never use a
high-pressure cleaner. There is a risk that the surface of the slats 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 specialised company from HELLA or a HELLA partner.
Regularly check the electrical wires of motor driven units for
damage. 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.
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.
