markilux safety instructions
Important information for the installation of markilux awnings
markilux
If the awning construction has to be pulled up into a higher area with
rope support, then the awning has
• to be taken out of the package,
• should be connected with pull ropes in such a way that these
cannot slip out,
• are to be pulled up up evenly in an horizontal position.
The same also applies for awning deinstallation.

Working at heights increases the risk of falling.
Appropriate climbing aids and safety rails are to be used whilst
installing the awning.

The awning fullls the requirements of the wind resistance class
specied in the CE conformity marking (explanations see „handover
declaration“).
In assembled condition, it only fullls these requirements if...
• ... the awning is mounted in accordance with the type and number
of consoles recommended by the manufacturer.
• ... the instructions of the xing material manufacturer regarding the
used dowels were followed during the assembly.
• ... the installation of folding-arm awnings was carried out
considering the
1.Who is allowed to t markilux awnings?
The markilux installation instructions are to a qualied mechanic who
has skilled knowledge in following domains:
• Occupational and operational safety and accident prevention
regulations
• Handling of ladders and scaffoldings
• Handling and transport of long and heavy component parts
• Handling of tools and machines
• Fixture device placement
• Assessment of building materials
• Commissioning and operation of the product
If any one of these qualications is not existent, a qualied installation
rm must be engaged.

Electrical works: electrical installations must be carried out by
a certied electrician according to VDE 0100. The enclosed
installation instructions of the supplied electronic devices are to be
observed.
We recommend installation be carried out by at least two people.
Larger awnings may require three persons.
2. Before beginning the installation it is to be checked, ...
• does the number and type of xture brackets match the order?
• do the specications made with the order concerning the fastening
background correspond with the actual fastening background at
hand (only for folding-arm awnings)?
If irregularities which may affect the safety of the unit or its users are
determined, then the installation must not be undertaken.
3. Reading and passing on the instructions
The security and attachment notes as well as the operation manuals
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 conrmation and tted wind class (see
handover declaration). He is to be comprehensively informed about
the safety and usage information of the awning. With nonobservance
and improper operation, the awning can suffer damage and accidents
can occur.
4. Working at greater heights

www.markilux.com
8. Uncontrolled operation

When working in the range of travel of the awning (see gure:
example folding-arm awning) the automatic control has to be
deactivated. There is a risk of crushing body parts and falling.
Additionally, the installer must ensure that the unit cannot be
unintentionally operated during works. The power supply should be
disconnected i.e. by removing or turning off safety fuses and/or
removing the power cables and motor socket gear. For works on
manually operated units the crank should be removed and stored
safely.
If awnings are operated by more than one person, an override locking
device (controlled circuit breakers from outside) must be installed so
that any retraction or extension of the awning is not possible.
9. Proper intended use
10. Crush and shear zones

The servo gear unit of folding-arm awnings (marking by label)
must not be dismantled. It is under great tension!
If the awning cloth or the gear have to be changed, kindly enquire
before about the instructions „What is to be done, if the servo gear
unit has to be dismantled?.
7. Folding arm awnings with servo gear for hand crank
6. Partly assembled awnings

In case of awnings that come partly-assembled from the factory
– e.g. coupled folding-arm awnings without cover - the spring-
loaded parts (see gure: Example folding-arm awning) are secured
against unintentional opening. These securing means must be remo-
ved only after the complete assembly.
The labelled awning parts are under spring tension and can pose an
high injury risk.
0-14°
Awnings may only be used according to the purpose dened in the operation manual. Alterations like rebuilding or enlargements which are not
intended by the manufacturer may only be carried out with the manufacturers written approval.
Additional awning burdens by means of object attachments or or rope wearing can result in damage or dropping of the awning and are
therefore not allowed.
The awning must not be subjected to high temperatures, heavy vibrations, jarring or heavy mechanical stress.
A build up of snow behind the awning can be avoided by installation of snow stoppers (snow collecting grid or the like).
min. 50 cm

Depending on the type of awning there are crush and shear zones, e.g. between front prole and cassette and between moving parts.
Items of clothing or limbs can be grabbed by the unit and pulled in. (see gure: example folding-arm awning.)
If the awning is installed at a height less than 2.5 metres above accessible trafc ways, then the awning may only be operated by a pushbutton
switch which enables the moving parts to be viewed. Electric controls, radio-controlled motors with click in-switches are not permitted for such
installations.

markilux mounting instructions
Individual bracket combinations - see "Fixtures, ttings and accessories" in the sales documentation. Please note the minimum quantity in
accordance with the width and extension! Mounting Type 11, 14, 16, 21, 31, 32: from a xture width (MA) of 601 cm an cassette support
assembly, 76183., is required!
1.2 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 3 for the mounting can be conrmed to the user.
Mounting material is not delivered, as different undersurfaces (e.g. concrete, lime sand stone, autoclaved aerated concrete,
etc.) require different types of mounting material
3. IMPORTANT: The brackets must be aligned with each other! When subsurfaces are uneven, the clearances are to be
checked using a cord pulley and if required compensated accordingly. Due to the horizontal mounting of the folding-arm
awning and the perpendicular t of the mounting brackets, the smooth functioning of the folding-arm awning is guaranteed.

6. Motor drive
6.1 Motor connection
The electrical connection for the motor drive and/or control system connection is to be carried out according to the
instructions of the manufacturer of the motor and control system. Modications, especially concerning the motor,
the control system and the connecting supply lines require authorisation in writing.
The installation and adjustion instructions are to be observed. They can be found at the motor cable or accompany
the awning. RTS motors carry an additional note on setting the motor at the motor cable. The inbuilt motor switches
off on reaching a rated performance for the upper limit position (reduced torque auto-stop function).
Attention! The lower limit position has to be adjusted in accordance with the motor instructions for a
standard motor (stop on reaching a particular awning position: point stop). This setting is not set in the
factory.
The lower limit position is preset for RTS motors.
Instructions for further electric components are inside the belonging package.
Attention!
The rolling up of the fabric on the fabric roller from below
during retraction could lead to damage to the awning. Should
you need to change the end stops, it is indispensable to pay
attention to the sense of rotation!
