The European standard DIN EN 13561 establishes the requirements for the
construction and fastening of awnings. The construction of this markilux aw
ning
fulfills the requirements of the Wind Resistance Class 2
specified in the CE mark of
conformity. The wind resistance class describes the wind speed, at which an awning
may be used.
If used above the approved wind speed, considerable dangers can
occur
in rain and in snow, the awning can be destroyed or collapse. Which wind
resistance class the installation
achieves, critically depends on the type and the
number of fastening materials as well as on the existing fastening background.
The awning may only
be used up to the wind resistance class declared by the
installation firm.
This can differ from the wind resistance class specified above in
the CE-mark of conformity.
In full knowledge of the local conditions and after completed installation, the
install
ation firm declares to the user, whether the wind resistance class specified by
markilux has been achieved in the installed state and documents the actual wind
resistance class achieved.
Automatic controllers are to be adjusted to the declared wind resistance class.

3. Mounting systems
Attention!:
Basically the following is applicable for all mounting systems:
1. The mounting material manufacturers e.g. Fischer, Hilti, Upat, etc.) offer different mounting systems
according to the undersurface. If the conditions for the mounting are met according to DIN EN 13561,
the wind resistance class 2 or 3 for the mounting can be confirmed to the user see sales information
"dimensions and features").
2. Mounting material is not supplied automatically, as different subsurfaces e.g. concrete, lime sand
stone, autoclaved aerated concrete etc) require different types of mounting material.
3. IMPORTANT: Mounting brackets have to be aligned with each other! When subsurfaces are uneven, the
clearances are to be checked using a cord pulley and if required compensated accordingly.

3. Fix bracket. Depending on the size of the verti-
cal awning, fix additional brackets between the

5. Motor-driven awning
5.1 Motor connection
The electrical connection for the motor drive and/or control system connection is to be carried out accord-
ing to the instructions of the manufacturer of the motor and control system. Modifications, especially in
the motor's, the control system's and the connecting cable's area require a written permit.
The installation and setting instructions are indicated on the motor's power supply cable. Instructions for
further electrical components are to be found in the corresponding packaging.
Sense of rotation during retraction
Attention!:
The rolling up of the fabric on the fabric roller
from below during retraction could lead to damage
to the awning. When changing the end stop, it is
indispensable to pay attention to the sense of rota-
tion!

Important Information

20/04/10
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
•Attaching fastening materials
•Assessment of the construction material
•ommissioning 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 awn-
ings).
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 malop-
eration, 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.

The awning complies with the requirements of the wind resistance class specified in the
E-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!
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 manu-
ally. 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 (con-
trolled power interruption from outside) must be installed, which makes any extending
and retracting of the awning impossible.
9. Proper intended use
Awnings 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.
Additional 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 mechanical
stress.
An 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.
