ZF3000 EXTERNAL BLIND

Before starting installation of the external blind, please read the following instructions.
During transportation and storage, the blind should lie horizontally in a place protected from damage
to the entire structure. The blind should not be placed on the side wall.
Any modifications or changes to the design of the external blind can only be made after consultation
with the manufacturer.Blinds should be mounted on an even surface.
Installation of external blinds should be conducted by persons competent in the area of compliance with health
and safety rules and applicable building regulations. In the case of external blinds operated
with an electric drive, the installation can only be carried out by a person with appropriate permissions
(SEP rights up to 1 kV).
Directly before installation, unpack the blind and check if there are all elements necessary
for its installation.

15. Check the correct installation of the blind, adjust if necessary.
16. Depending on the height of the safety plate, set the safety
plate extensions (1) to the correct height and fasten them to
the handles using the screws, from the inside of the box as
shown above.
17. Drill holes (1) in the safety plate where the plate is
mounted to the handles and extensions, then use 4x8

1. Drive for cardan crank.
The operation of the crank lifting mechanism requires special caution and skills because the gear used
allows for obtaining large forces that may damage the elements of the external blind. Therefore, stop
turning the crank when you feel resistance or notice that the blind curtain has stopped during lifting or
lowering. In external blinds, turning the crank clockwise causes lifting the blind curtain, while turning the
crank counter-clockwise causes lowering the blind curtain.
2. Drive for the motor.
Press the key of the remote/ switch with the appropriate marking of the blind movement direction (up/
down). At this moment the blind will start lifting or lowering. To stop the motor operation, press the MY
button on the remote (in the case of a switch, release the key or press the key with the opposite
direction). When the blind is fully open or closed, the motor will be automatically stopped by the limit
switch. Use the scroll wheel on the remote for precise setting the position of the external blind slats.
In case of noticing that the blind curtain has stopped and the motor is still running, stop the motor
immediately by pressing the MY button on the remote (in the case of a switch with non-support mode
release the key or in the case of a switch with support-mode press the key with the opposite direction).
The motor has a thermal switch that stops the operation after reaching a certain temperature. The time
of continuous motor operation is about 4 minutes. Then, the motor can be turned off until it cools down,
i.e. for about 4 to 5 minutes, while the total time needed for cooling the drive is 30 minutes.

Emergency situations:
1. It should be noted that in winter during strong frosts, do not leave the blind partially lifted when
opening the window. The difference in temperatures causes the water vapor to deposit on the
blind and consequently its subsequent freezing. Therefore, before opening the window, the blind
slats should be lifted completely up.
2. In winter, slats may be covered with ice and frozen to the ground. An attempt to open a blind in
such a situation may lead to breaking of the curtain (especially with the electric drive). In the
period of snowfalls or heavy frosts, before activating the blind, check that there is no ice or snow
on the window sill or in the guides. If the blind is icy, crush the ice gently or wait for it to melt.
3. During the expected snowfalls or strong frosts it is recommended to turn off the timer control and
operate the blinds manually, controlling their opening and closing.
4. In the event of possible strong gusts of wind, it is recommended to leave the blinds with the slats
fully lifted.
Maintenance:
The basic rules of the product maintenance consist of cyclical monitoring of the correctness of coiling
and uncoiling the blinds, precise positioning of the end positions and cleaning of accessible elements of
the product. The blind should be cleaned with a soft cloth using generally available cleaning agents. The
use of pressure washers, strong cleaning agents and solvents is forbidden. When cleaning the product,
it is absolutely not advisable to use sharp tools and cleaning agents that cause scratches. In the case of
cleaning the product, it is unconditionally necessary to prevent the possibility of water getting into the top
rail of the product.
Safety regulations:
1. Do not stay in the blind operation area during lifting and lowering.
2. When using the blind, attention should be paid to the condition of the tape and ladder. Their
damage may cause the slats to fall automatically and damage to the blind elements.
3. In case of finding any part of the blind damaged or irregularities in its operation, cease its
operation and call the service. Using a damaged or a defective blind may result in a risk to the
user's health and life.
4. In the case of replacement of damaged elements, use only original spare parts.
5. In the event of a breakdown, it is forbidden to make any temporary repairs.
6. Any work related to the repair or replacement of damaged parts of the external blind may only be
performed by a trained person. Self-repair attempts may result in the loss of the warranty.
7. The remote control elements should be stored in places that are difficult to reach for children.
8. Do not use the product with visible signs of damage or wear of the electrical wiring.
