1. Who is allowed to fit markilux Awnings?
The markilux fitting instructions are intended for qualified fitters, who have experienced knowledge in the following
fields:
•Work safety, operating safety and regulations for the prevention of accidents
•Handling ladders and scaffolding
•Handling and transport of long, heavy components
•Handling tools and machines
•ttaching fastening materials
•ssessment of the construction material
•Commissioning and operation of the product
If one of these qualifications is lacking, a specialist installation firm must be commissioned.
Electrical work: Electrical installations must be carried by a qualified electrician according to VDE 0100. The
installation instructions enclosed with the electrical devices supplied are to be observed.
It is recommended that fitting is performed with at least two persons, for larger awnings with three.
2. Before beginning with the installation, it is to be checked,...
•... whether the fitting fixtures supplied correspond in type and number with the order ,
•... whether the specifications made with the order concerning the fastening background correspond with the actual
fastening background at hand (only for folding-arm awnings).
If divergences are determined herewith, which impair safety, then the fitting may not be carried out.
. Reading and passing on the instructions
The safety and fitting instructions as well as
the operating guides are to be read and
observed!
The markilux operating guide, as well as the
setting instructions of the motor, switch and
controller manufacturers are to be handed
over to the user with a written confirmation
and fitted wind class (see handover
declaration) He is to be comprehensively
enlightened about the safety and usage
information of the awning. With non-
observance and maloperation, the awning
can suffer damage and accidents can occur.

4. Working at greater heights
If the awning unit has to be hoisted to a higher area
with the help of ropes, then the awning is
•to be removed from the packaging,
•to be connected with the lifting ropes in such a
way, that it cannot fall out,
•to be pulled up evenly in a horizontal position.
The same also applies for the dismantling of the
awning.
When working at greater heights, there is a risk
of falling. Suitable climbing aids and appropriate fall
safety devices are to be utilized.

Wind resistance class
markilux 760/860,780/880 und 8000, 869 (size-dependent)
The awning complies with the requirements of the
wind resistance class specified in the CE-conformity
symbol (see handover declaration). When fitted, it only
complies with these requirements, if
•the awning has been fitted with the type and
number of brackets recommended by the
manufacturer,
•during fitting, the instructions of the fastenings
manufacturer of the dowels used have been
observed.
For folding-arm awnings:
•the awning has been fitted taking into account the
dowel pull-out forces specified by the
manufacturer.
6. Partly assembled awnings
With awnings partly assembled at works – e.g.
coupled folding-arm awnings without cover – those
parts under spring tension (see illustration: example
folding-arm awning) are to be secured against
unintentional opening. These safety devices may only
be removed after the installation is complete.
There is a high risk of injury from the marked awning
parts under tension!

3
7. Partly assembled awnings
The servo transmission of folding-arm awnings
(marked with a sticker) may not be dismantled, it is
under high tension!
If the awning cover or the transmission is to be
exchanged, beforehand please request the guide
„What to do when... the servo drive needs to be
dismantled?“.
8. Uncontrolled Operation
When working in the range of travel of the
awning (see illustration: example folding-arm
awning), automatic control must be switched off.
There is a risk of being crushed and falling down.
In addition, it must be ensured, that the unit cannot
be unintentionally operated manually. For this, the
power supply is to be interrupted, e.g. switch off
safety switches or disconnect the connector coupling
on the motor. Likewise, with manual operation the
operating crank must be disengaged and safely
stored away.
If awnings are operated by several users, a priority
switching interlocking device (controlled power
interruption from outside) must be installed, which
makes any extending and retracting of the awning
impossible.
9. Proper intended use
wnings may only be used for the purpose defined in
the operating guide. Modifications, such as add-ons
and conversions not intended by the manufacturer,
may only be performed with the written consent of the
manufacturer.
dditional loading of the awning due to suspended
objects or due to tensioned ropes/cables can lead to
damage or to the collapse of the awning and are
therefore not permitted.
The awning may not be subjected to high
temperatures, strong vibrations or shaking or strong

4
mechanical stress.
n accumulation of snow behind the awning is to be
prevented by fitting a snow guard (snow fence or
similar).
10. Crush and Shear Zones
Depending on the type of awning, there
exist crush and shear zones, e.g. between
drop rod and cassette and between moving
parts. Items of clothing or limbs can be
grabbed by the unit and pulled in! (See
illustration: example folding-arm awning.)
If an awning is fitted at a height under 2.5
meters above accessible traffic routes, then
the awning may only be actuated with a push-
button switch with a view of the moving parts.
Electrical controllers, radio-controlled drives
with catch switches, stop switches etc. are in
this case not permitted.

Vertical cassette awning
markilux 710 with rope guide
Mounting instructions
1
17/08/09
This manual is aimed at skilled fitters resp.
electricians. It describes how this awning is fixed
and put into operation.
Read these instructions carefully before starting the
mounting process of the awning and observe our
general Safety information of markilux window
awnings.
Before installation, the consignment has to be
checked for completeness and eventual transport
damages!
The adherence to the sequence of the installation
resp. setting instructions described in this manual
is absolutely essential.
The vertical cassette awning as single unit consists
of the following parts:
•ompletely pre-mounted cassette in protective
foil with 2 tension ropes
•Accessories for 2 tension ropes
•2 brackets (3 from 326 cm awning width) for
ceiling and/or wall mount
•winding handle with adapter cone
If ordered:
•Joint bearing for interior operation with drive pin
50 cm and drilling template, foldable winding
handle.
•Electric drive, no winding handle
•Additional bracket for niche mounting, consist-
ing of bracket with mounting material for cas-
sette and floor bracket

2. Recommendations and information
about
mounting the brackets
This vertical cassette awning was delivered without
mounting bolts, as different undersurfaces require
different types of mounting material. The mounting
material has to be designed in such a way that the
resulting forces are diverted safely into the mount-
ing undersurface. A calculated proof of the forces
at the mounting screws based on 70 N per m² awn-
ing fabric is required.
Depending on the subsurface (e.g. steel carrier,
wood etc.), different mounting systems have to be
used.
Maximal screw size for mounting the wall or ceiling
brackets:
oval-head screws M6x...
slotted pan head screws 6.3x...
chipboard screws 6.0x...
wooden screws 6.0x...
Attention:
The maximum screw head height is 5.5 mm.
3. Motor connection
The lead-in for the motor and the control connec-
tion has to be installed and connected by an ap-
proved electrician (lt.VDE 0100). The connection
has to be executed acc. to the regulations of the
manufacturer of the motor/controller.
Modifications, especially concerning the motor, the
controller and the connecting supply lines require
our authorization.
Cable exit on motor driven units
Attention:
3.1 For the unmonitored operation of the electro-
motive powered vertical cassette awning with
automatic control the following has to be ob-
served: If the mounting height of moveable
parts of the window awning to the circulation
are is less than 2.5 m, special safety measures
have to be taken in order to prevent possible in-
juries (mech. shielding, overload protection,
contact strip, photocell, etc).
No persons and obstacles should be within the
extension and retraction range of the awning!
Special care has to be taken for accessible areas
in which children could be.
3.2 For the operation of a electromotive powered
vertical cassette awning with manual switch the
extension and retraction motion has to be stop-
pable and permanently controllable by the user,
if the awning is in an accessible area and the
safety distance of 2.5 m, described under point
"3.1" cannot be adhered to. In this case switch
push buttons have to be used permitting by
simply omitting the operation button thus ena-
bling a stop of the extension and retraction mo-
tion (principle of dead man's switch).
3.3 The automatic operation of the awning must
not lead to the falling of persons possibly
working at the facade. An overriding switching
locking device or blocking barrier has to make
impossible any adjustment of the awning if
there are works taking place at the building
facade.

Setting the motor end switch:
Attention: The built-in motor has a set end
stop both in the extension and retraction direction.
These settings were effected in the factory. They
always have to be checked on site, as the end stops
might have shifted e.g. through strong vibrations
during transport or the motor does not switch off
anymore. For any changes or corrections of these
settings please refer to the instructions of the
motor.
The installation and setting instructions are indi-
cated on the motor's power supply cable. When set-
ting remote-controlled motors, kindly start at point
"factory"-programming of the instruction manual!
Attention: The rolling up of the fabric on the
fabric roller from top during retraction could result
in damage to the awning fabric and the awning
frame. When setting the end positions of the motor
it is important to ensure that the fabric winds up as
shown during the retraction process:
Sense of rotation of the fabric roller during the
retraction process:
Correct! Wrong!
1 = fabric roller
2 = fabric
When the awning is extended, at least half a turn of
the fabric has to remain on the fabric roller as secu-
rity! Never set the end position of the motor in such
a way that the fabric unwinds completely.
We cannot assume any responsibility for damages
resulting from wrong settings.
4. Mounting / suspension of awning (single
unit)
4.1 Remove protective cover and check individual
parts.
4.2 Mark the position of the brackets on the
mounting surface, mark drilling holes and drill
(see examples for mounting).
For 2 brackets: each time outside with a clear-
ance of at least 5 cm and max. 20 cm to the
outer edges of the cassette awning.
For 3 brackets (from 326 cm awning width): 2
brackets each time outside with a clearance of
at least 5 cm and max. 20 cm to the outer
edges of the cassette awning, 3 brackets cen-
tered.
The mounting of additional consoles is possi-
ble.
4.3 Mount the brackets horizontally on the mount-
ing surface. The brackets have to be flush to
each other (cord pulley)
.
4.4 For units with interior operation:
Mark drillings for drive pin and console on the
drive side according to the supplied template
and drill hole.
Attention: The inside laying is pivoted for
tension-free connection with the drive rod.
Adjustment range to the horizontal line:
about 0° downwards
about 30° upwards
4.5 Suspend cassette into the brackets, put in the
requested position and tighten the locking
screws SW 10.
4.6 Mark the lower floor brackets of the accesso-
ries for tension ropes on the mounting surface,
mark drillings, drill and screw.
Measure floor angle parallel and diagonal.
4.7 Mount tensioning device for rope guide with
the hexagon screw M6x16 and the hexagon
screw M 6x12 with serrated lock washer A6, do
not tighten screws.
Attention: Mount serrated lock washer
between tensioning device and floor angle.
4.8 Guide the pre-mounted ropes from top through
the holes of the downpipe end caps at the pro-
jection profile.

4.10 If required, the drive end lock has to be ad-
justed in extension direction for manual-driven
units. For radio-controlled motors, the end po-
sition setting has to be adjusted both in retrac-
tion and extension direction.
Attention: Observe sense of rotation of
the fabric roller.
