• All maintenance and cleaning operations must be performed with the electrical supply disconnected.
• Installation and rst use, adjustment and extraordinary maintenance must only be performed by technicians
trained and specialised for those tasks. Contact Technical Support.
• For outdoor awnings which can be operated from a position where the awning is not visible, or automatically
by weather sensors, the user must adopt appropriate organisational measures to prevent operation of the
awning when maintenance operations are being performed in the vicinity, for instance cleaning of windows
or walls.
• The product absolves risks as per EN13561: risks of a mechanical, electrical and ergonomic nature.
• In the event that the product is not to be used for a prolonged period of time, protect any
exposed mechanical parts.
3. DESCRIPTION OF THE STRUCTURE
The structure can be installed individually or in modular compositions. Its operation is motorised; Optional Ac-
cessories can be installed on request (see Chap. 9 “Optional Accessories”).
3.1 Components
The folding and sliding product is composed of fabric (taut when the awning is opened) fastened to a metal
structure which allows it to slide horizontally.
• Metal structure: this represents the supporting chassis, containing the various mechanisms required to open
and close the awning. It is composed of a frame tted with guide proles (A) inside which the carriages where
the fabric is fastened slide, a guttering prole section (F), two bottom prole sections (B) and intermediate
proles (C).
• The structure rests on two front column proles (E).
• Fabric (D): this is what provides the awning’s protection and coverage functions.
It is available in two different models:
• A1 (Fig. 1): fastened to a wall and supported by two columns
• T1 (Fig. 2) “roof” model used for covering verandas, terraces, balconies etc.
The materials used guarantee good resistance to wear caused both by use and by the weather.

3.2 Intended Use and Installation Location
The structure is designed to protect against solar radiation and possibly to limit reverberation in the space below
it. The product, once installed, is intended only to perform raising or lowering of the awning fabric to reach the
open and closed positions, as well as intermediate positions if required.
The structure must only be used for the purposes outlined above, even if packaged with impermeable or PVC
sheets. Users of the structure must be adults.
Improper use of the product shall absolve the Manufacturer of any liability from damage or injuries which might
result. Failure to respect the indicated conditions of use shall cause any and all warranties provided by
the manufacturer to be forfeit.
• Any use other than those indicated above is forbidden, as different conditions of use could
create risks to the user and other persons nearby.
• The structure MUST NOT be used to support/hold objects or for people to rest on.
• Motorised versions must not be installed in potentially explosive (ATEX) atmospheres.
• In the event that the structure is installed in a windy area with frequent power cuts, it is
advisable to install a back-up power supply.
• In the event of particularly bad weather or snow, the structure should be fully closed; it is
not guaranteed to be snow proof. Danger of damage or injury.
• Operation of the structure with snow on the fabric or in freezing temperatures could damage
the product.
• The formation of condensation on the awning should not be considered a defect; it is a
natural phenomenon.
The minimum installation height of the product should comply with applicable legislation; if tted, the opening/
closing switch must be installed in a protected position, at a minimum height from the ground as specied in
applicable legislation and in an area which is not dangerous to access.
OPENING:
Fabric stretched to
maximum extension
STOP:
Movement stop CLOSURE: Fabric wrapped
around roller
tube
See the instructions given in the remote control manual (supplied).
• Use a lockable (key) switch if the structure is to be installed in sensitive locations such as
schools, hospitals, rest homes etc.
• If the structure is tted with a remote control, this must be located outside the reach of
children.
The remote control may also be used outdoors, as long as the system has an IP rating of IP55 or higher.
The space made available during installation must take into account the space required for movement and allow
the structure to open fully.
• No ladders or other xed objects must be installed or positioned near the structure which
could reduce the space required by it.
