necessary for efficient operation of the product. SELT SP. Z O.O. recommends to use services of
skilled installation crews what guarantees the Purchaser proper installation.
3.1 General requirements for safe installation
it is necessary to follow general rules of construction art
it is necessary to follow health and safety regulations, especially concerning work with
electricity and at heights,
product should be installed on even and dry wall surfaces that at the same time ensure
proper strength and are completed according to general rules of building art,
before starting the installation remove all unnecessary elements from the installation area.
3.2 Requirements for safe installation at heights
Installation of the product, because it requires performing work at heights, is
particularly dangerous because it poses a high risk of danger to human health and
safety and in particular fall from height.
Opracowanie planu bezpieczeństwa i ochrony zdrowia podczas montażu należy do obowiązków
Nabywcy.
Preparation of a plan on health and safety during installation is the responsibility of the Purchaser.
Purchaser should determine specific requirements of health and safety when working at height, and
especially to ensure:
direct supervision of work execution by the designated person (e.g. the foreman),
adequate safeguards measures, in particular protective equipment against falls from height,
detailed instruction of employees performing work at heights.
Work at heights above 2 meters, requiring using personal protective equipment against falls from
height, must be performed by at least 2 people.
Work at heights should be organized and carried out in a way that does not force employees to lean
out of the railings or outline of a device on which they stand. The buyer has an obligation to ensure
that areas of work at heights can be accessed only by authorized and informed personnel. Health and
safety professionals should inform employees residing or staying at the conduct of such works or in
the vicinity of the site about conducted operations at heights and the necessary safety measures to
be applied during this work.
3.3 Preparation to installation
unpack product and check if it contains all necessary elements for installation,
make sure that the base where product will be mounted provides sufficient bearing capacity
for safe installation and operation of the product,
prepare set of tools necessary for installation.

3.9 Electric drive
The installation must be performed by an electrician possessing appropriate permissions and
professional experience. The connection should be made in accordance with the previously
elaborated, individual electric diagram and according to the motor manual. There is a possibility of
individual and group control with one or multi-channel remote control.
Transmitters and receivers should be programmed according to the instructions attached to the
engines.
When the awning starts working special attention should be paid to correct rolling up and down of
the fabric and proper functioning of limit switches in the motor.
The engine has a thermal switch, which turns off the drive after about 4 minutes of
continuous work to protect from overheating. After turning off by the thermal
protection appropriate time should pass before turning it on again, depending on
the type of engine and atmospheric conditions (several minutes).
List of steps:
Connection to the electricity supply,
Connection to the electrical control system.
3.9.1 Connection to electrical installation
After the product is installed one may proceed to connecting the drive and control system to the
previously prepared systems: power supply and control systems.
Connection to the power supply system should be made in accordance with the previously
elaborated individual electric diagram, including fire protection regulations.
Electrical connection and adjustment of motors should be performed according to the motor
manufacturer’s manual taking into account the environmental conditions in which the product will
be operated.
Regular environmental conditions:
Such conditions are found in e.g. apartments, offices, event and theatre halls, school classrooms
(excluding some laboratories) etc.
Environmental conditions of increased threat:
Bathrooms and showers, kitchens, garages, cellars, saunas, rooms for domestic animals, operating
theatres in hospitals, pump rooms, heat exchange rooms, spaces limited by conducing areas,
campsites, open spaces, etc. are regarded as environments with increased threat conditions.
In rooms and spaces where there are increased threat conditions, automatic devices for switching off
power supply to the damaged product should be used, e.g. residual current devices.
Residual current devices:
Recommended for use in bathrooms, kitchens, garages and cellars,
They are to be used obligatory at swimming and shower pools, saunas, construction sites,
while supplying appliances in open spaces, on agricultural and horticultural farms, on
campsites and in camper vans, as well as in rooms where there is fire hazard.

DT-E 11.8.1 TERRACE AWNING CASABLANCA
Edition: March 2016 / Issue 1
English
page 16 / 19
Residual current devices are only supplementary protection from direct contact, they cannot be the
only means of protection. The goal of their application is to supplement the protection in case other
means of protection from direct fail or in case of user’s carelessness.
During installation attention should be paid to usage safety rules, e.g. minimum height electrical
appliances can be installed at.
General safe connections guidelines
The connection must be performed by electrician possessing appropriate permissions and
experience,
During connection health and safety regulations should be observed,
Electrical connection and adjustment of motors should be performed according to the motor
manufacturer’s manual added to the product.
Incorrect connection of the motor can lead to product damage or create a
hazardous situation.
3.9.2 Remote operation
Remote operation programming (assigning remote control appliances, weather sensors and other
operation elements) should be performed according to the manufacturer’s manual added to the
product.
3.9.3 Start-up and adjustment
Recommendations and actions:
extreme position (up and down movement of the fabric) are protected by limit switches that
needs to be adjusted during the installation,
person performing the adjustment of extreme positions should possess adequate electrical
permissions, knowledge and experience,
adjustment of limit switches must be done in accordance with motor’s maintenance manual,
prior to the first start of the product electrical measurements should be performed by person
holding adequate permissions,
do not start the motor without checking the correctness of system installation,
after the awning is put into motion with a switch do not take off the casings, end covers, lean
on the product, leave tools on it,
after each re-assembly in a new place the product and electrical installation earth circuit
should be checked.
When the awning starts working attention should be paid to:
Correct rolling down and up of the fabric,
Correct activation of limit switches.

DT-E 11.8.1 TERRACE AWNING CASABLANCA
Edition: March 2016 / Issue 1
English
page 17 / 19
Self-regulation of extreme position by an untrained person may lead to
product damage.
3.10 Manual drive
Awning opening is performed by making enough turns with the crank until the arms are opened,
keeping the fabric tension.
Awning closure –by turning the crank until gentle resistance is felt.
Gears 11:1 are not equipped with overturn protection (so called mechanical end stop).
During operation of awning with manual drive the force working on the crank is multiplied by gear
mechanism and putting too much force can lead to fabric damage, especially when closing the
awning.
Do not allow the fabric to be rolled in the opposite direction (from the bottom of roller tube), since it
may cause its ripping off the roller tube, fabric damage or incorrect awning functioning.
