OPERATION
The box includes a winding cylinder on which the fabric rolls up. When unrolling, the cord and spring system (under
tension) pushes the bottom section outwards and keeps the fabric taut. Optimum fabric tension is attained in the
lowest position of the bottom section. The bottom section moves in sliding blocks in the guide rails.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO DISASSEMBLE THE LOWER SECTION, SLIDING BLOCK, CORD, SPRING, LATERAL FRAME,
BRACKET OR ANY OTHER PART OF THE SUN SCREEN ON YOUR OWN. THESE OPERATIONS MAY ONLY BE
CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED PERSONS.
OPENING AND CLOSING
HAVE THE SUN SCREEN IN SIGHT WHEN OPENING AND CLOSING AND ENSURE THAT NO PERSONS AND
OBSTACLES OBSTRUCT FREE MOVEMENT OF THE BOTTOM SECTION.
CLOSE THE SUN SCREEN FOR THE NIGHT. THE USER MUST ALWAYS BE AWARE WHETHER THE SCREEN
IS OPEN, OR CLOSED.
PREVENT CHILDREN AND UNAUTHORISED PERSONS FROM OPERATING OR PLAYING WITH THE SUN
SCREEN. THE SAME APPLIES TO SWITCHES AND REMOTE CONTROLLERS. ALWAYS STORE THE REMOTE
CONTROLLER OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
IF ANY WORKS ARE CARRIED OUT NEAR THE SUN SCREEN, THE SCREEN MUST BE CLOSED AND THE
AUTOMATIC CONTROLS AND POWER SUPPLY MUST BE SWITCHED OFF.
The sun screen is driven by an electric motor.
If you hear irregular noises during the operation, immediately switch off the screen and inform your technician.
The following is a concise overview of user instructions. For more detailed instructions, refer to the operating
instructions for the electric drive.

STOPPING
Press the stop button on the switching unit, remote controller or automatic control device.
CLOSING
Press the “up” button on the switching unit, remote controller or automatic control device (or keep the button pressed
–applies to button switches).
CLOSING THE SUN SCREEN
BEAR THE FOLLOWING IN MIND WHEN CLOSING THE SUN SCREEN:
TO PREVENT THE RISK OF BEING SQUEEZED, KEEP YOUR HEAD, FINGERS AND OTHER BODY PARTS
AWAY FROM THE BOX WHEN THE BOTTOM SECTION MOVES TO THE REST POSITION ON THE BOX.
PREVENT THE RISK OF BEING SQUEEZED (LOOSE GARMENTS) NEAR THE CYLINDERS. A RISK OF SHEAR
EXISTS WHERE THE EXTENSION POLE PASSES THROUGH THE CYLINDERS. THIS MAY LEAD TO SEIZING
AND SQUEEZING.
IMPROPER USE
The shading system is designed as sun protection, and it cannot therefore be used as an all-weather awning. Improper
use may lead to serious hazards.
SAFETY MEASURES:
Do not subject the product to wind loading exceeding the values specified in the handover protocol. Excessive wind
loading may seriously damage the fabric, mechanism, as well as fittings and fasteners. The wind resistance class actually
achieved after installing the awning depends on the fasteners used, surface to which the system is attached, and the
place of installation. Do not use the product if the wind force exceeds the wind resistance class determined by the
installation specialist. This value may be lower than the wind resistance class specified by the manufacturer.
Do not open the awning in the rain. This way, you will prevent the risk of water accumulation on the fabric surface.
Accumulated water will increase the awning weight and this may lead to the fabric ripping, damage to the mechanical
components, awning detachment from the installation surface, and/or injuries of by-standers and user (by falling).
Do not open the awning in the snowfall or when it is freezing (risk of damage).
Do not roll up the awning if there are any objects on the fabric or in the box. First remove these objects to prevent the
risk of damaging the awning (by falling).
Do not open the awning if any persons and obstacles obstruct free movement of the awning. There is a risk of injury to
persons.
Do not hang any items (like flower-pots) to the bottom section, guiding sections, and the box, as this may lead to
damaging the awning and the risk of falling.

SAFETY ELEMENTS
Automatic controller: wind protection.
Automatic controller: wind/sun control system.
Read the operation manual carefully.
Note: The user must always be aware whether the screen is open, or closed. The automatic controller may malfunction
in abnormal conditions like power failure, defect, sudden storm, etc., and this may lead to the awning damage and risk
of falling.
If you are aware of your absence for a longer period of time, switch the automatic controller to manual control and roll
up the awning before leaving.
If the lower section moves at a height less than 2.5 metres above the ground level, the awning must be controlled by a
pulse switch (if you release the switch, the motor stops). This will ensure the user has always a good view of the moving
awning and injury to persons is prevented.
The motor-operated awning cannot be rolled up after power failure. In areas with high wind force levels and frequent
power failure, it is recommended to use a special motor-generator assembly as an emergency power unit.
REPAIRS, MAINTENANCE, AND DEFECTS
Regular inspections and maintenance (at least once a year) is recommended for optimal use of the awning. To ensure
your personal safety, we recommend concluding a maintenance contract with an awning installation company –
preferably with the person who installed your awning.
The awning requires regular inspections for wear and damage to the fabric and frame. It is forbidden to use damaged
awnings.
In the event of failure, contact the maintenance company. If regular, annual maintenance using original spare parts is
not carried out by a specialised company, any and all guarantee claims will be rendered void.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS OF THE SUN SCREEN, ESPECIALLY OF ITS FOLDING ARMS, MOTORS,
AND SAFETY ELEMENTS, MAY ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY AUTHORISED PERSONS. MOTORS MAY
SWITCH ON UNEXPECTEDLY. IT IS THEREFORE NECESSARY TO DISCONNECT THE MOTORS FROM
THE MAINS (E.G. BY SWITCHING OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER) WHILE CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE
IS CARRIED OUT.
OUR PRODUCTS MUST BE INSTALLED IN A MANNER THAT ENSURES ALL PARTS ARE ALWAYS
ACCESSIBLE FOR MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER SHALL NOT BEAR ANY
ADDITIONAL COSTS (E.G. FOR DEMOLITION WORKS, REPAIRS OF THE FACADE AND INTERIOR
WALLS) CAUSED BY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS REQUIREMENT.
The following simple maintenance and inspection works can be carried out by the users:
Maintenance of the mechanic parts:
Check of damage and/or wear of pull cords (once in 3 months).
Check of position of the cords in the pulleys (once in 3 months).
Regular cleaning of areas in the guiding sections where the sliding block castors move (once in 3 months, or
more frequently, if required).
Lubrication of the sliding block castors (at least once a year).

Lubrication of castors under the end of the guiding sections (at least once a year).
Lubrication of bearings opposite the operating side (at least once a year).
Lubrication of cylinder bearings (at least once a year).
Lubrication of the hanger pins of the folding arms and of the bearings opposite the control mechanism, using
silicone-based dry lubricant (at least once a year).
Note: Do not soil the fabric.
Maintenance of the sections:
Clean the sections regularly with lukewarm water and a neutral detergent, e.g. car shampoo, then rinse with
fresh water (at least twice a year).
Never use corrosive or aggressive products. We strongly advise you not to use steel wool or other abrasive
materials.
Maintenance of the fabric:
The VERANDA fabric is covered by a special contamination-resistant layer.
Remove the dust from the fabric by a vacuum cleaner, blowing, beating out, or brushing.
Water stains should be wetted thoroughly and cleaned using a clean rag. Detergents like soap or other
chemicals should only be used if other methods fail.
Fingerprints and other grease spots should be cleaned using a clean rag with a drop of mild dishwasher (never
use trichloroethane III).
Bear the following in mind:
Never open the awning in heavy rain, strong wind, when it is freezing and snowing.
If the fabric is permanently exposed to all atmospheric conditions, it is very likely that sediments caused by air
contamination will build up, decreasing the fabric quality.
It is possible to roll up the fabric for a short period of time even if it is wet. It is then necessary to dry the fabric
in open position. If the wet fabric remains rolled up for a long time, mould or rot is likely to develop.
THIS PRODUCT MAY ONLY BE DISASSEMBLED
AND REMOVED BY QUALIFIED FITTERS.
COMPONENT DISASSEMBLY IS HAZARDOUS AS
THE CORDS, SPRINGS AND EXTENSION POLES
ARE UNDER A HEAVY MECHANICAL STRESS.
ALWAYS SECURE THESE HAZARDOUS
COMPONENTS BEFORE DISASSEMBLING.

MEASUREMENT AND ASSEMBLY
GENERAL INFORMATION
To a great extent, the VHRV80-ZIP veranda screen allows regulating the sunlight penetration into a room and thus
avoids unpleasant high amount of light and heat. The fabric is protected when rolled in the box which is closed by
bottom section in the fully retracted position. The box is attached to guide rails.
Safe distance between the fabric and the veranda roof is ensured by the guide rails and the spring system that keeps the
fabric taut continuously. This system is designed to easily overcome any small tolerances of roof construction. The
whole system is made from corrosion-resistant materials.
There are several installation options available. The standard option is having the HRV80-ZIP blind installed above the
veranda, as the most efficient sun protection is above the glazing. Then it can be installed to the veranda sections using
the various types of brackets available.
The HRV08-ZIP screen is equipped with a zipper system that ensures the fabric stays properly taut in every position of
the bottom section and avoids fabric slipping out from the guide rails. The individual parts of the fabric are always fitted
with a zipper on both the left and right side, while the thicker part locks with the plastic zipper section inserted in an
aluminium guide rail.
The HRV80-ZIP veranda screen consists of the following parts:
• Box with an easily removable, motor-driven winding cylinder,
•Fabric with a zipper, wound in the box,
• Guide rails for easy connection of the zipper section,
• Bottom section with a spring that keeps the fabric taut.
INSTALLATION OPTIONS
The HRV80-ZIP screen can be installed in one way only –to the
supporting structure top down.
• Exterior installation.
• The fabric is placed on the outside.
• The sun screen is visible from the outside.
• The zipper is on the window side.
• In Soltis 86 and 92 fabric, the aluminium side faces the sun.
• In blackout fabrics, the grey film is on the window side.
Note: It is necessary to observe the minimum slope requirements for
the fabrics, otherwise water will accumulate on the fabric, which will
bend and possibly deform permanently. This would void the
guarantee. If the screen remains open during the rain, water will
uncontrollably flow to the sliding blocks of the bottom section. There
is no water collecting mechanism (eaves) under the guide rails.
The minimum recommended gradient of slope for Soltis 86 and 92 fabrics is 8°
With integrated LED illumination, the minimum slope is 10°!
The minimum recommended gradient of slope for blackout fabrics is 14°!
The maximum gradient of slope for all variants is 30°!

INSTALLATION
Note: Ensure perpendicularity of installation at all times, otherwise fabric wrinkling will occur.
See the overview of installation brackets.
Attention: The maximum distance between two guide rail brackets is 1600 mm.
The maximum overhang is 500 mm.
Make sure the box and the bottom profile can always be opened and that the mechanical parts inside are accessible at
all times. Should you fail to follow this rule, ISOTRA cannot be held responsible for the cost of demolition work!
MEASURING
Overall width = from the centre of the guide rail to the centre of the guide rail. The outer part of the box is always 40
mm (2× 20 mm) wider than the centre of the guide rails or the centre of the attachment brackets.
Drop: measured from the rear part of the box on the upper side touching the wall to the front side of the guide rail
including the cover.
The final position of the bottom section can be set flush with the end of the guide rail cover.
Note: The box width is always 40 mm greater than the ordered width.

DESIGN
The fabric has zippers on the sides, and if the guide rails are properly installed, these zippers ensure the fabric remains
taut in any position of the bottom section thanks to the strain between the zipper and the guide rails.
Cracking may be heard when retracting the screen, which is caused by the fabric tension and by pushing the air from
under the fabric when winding up. Creases may also form on the zipper side, caused by different material thicknesses
and expansion factors.
In blackout blinds, the zippers are placed on the Soltis side of the fabric, not on the side with the blackout film, in order
to attain better adhesion and reduced fabric movement. It is therefore possible that due to wind or if seen at an angle, a
small part of the zipper can be seen, but this is insignificant when compared with the overall view or the fabric tension
(reduced creasing).
When the 86/92 fabric is used, the zippers are always on the rear side of the fabric –i.e. on the window side. In addition
to placing an inscription or a logo to the fabric, it is also possible to inverse the fabric colour or the fabric side on the sun
screen.
BLACKOUT
The Veranda can also be used to blacking out the room, i.e. to protect it from light coming from the outside during
presentations or projections, but it is not a 100% blackout during which it would be possible to develop photographs.
The following must be taken into account to achieve proper blackout:
• It is only possible by using a blackout fabric.
• The spaces between the guide rails, the box, the wall and the window frame must be carefully sealed (for example, by
using silicone, strips, etc.).
• Wind action can cause the bottom lath to waft up, and a gap may occur as a result.
• Account should be taken of a small gap between the extension pole and the guide rail.
• Placing an extra angled profile (30×20×2) for the bottom section against the wall reduces the chance of light
penetration even more.
FIXTURES AND FITTINGS
All fixtures and fitting are made from stainless steel, and all accessories are always part of the supply.
PACKING
The Veranda HRV80-ZIP is supplied packed in robust cardboard boxes.
USE AND MAINTENANCE
Proper use and maintenance greatly increase the lifetime of the sunblind.
Do not use the screen as protection against rain or wind.
Regular maintenance prevents excessive wear and operational problems.
Cleaning the frame: use soft water instead of aggressive substances, that may affect the coating and protective
layers.
Cleaning the fabric: when dry, with a semi-stiff brush.
Clean stubborn stains using warm water and light detergent solution, rinse with copious amounts of clean
water.
Always let the fabric dry fully before rolling it up (even after an unexpected rain shower).
