4.6.1 CONNECTION TO ELECTRICAL INSTALLLATION

DT-E 11.7 SUN PROTECTION SYSTEM – TERRRACE AWNING DAKAR
Edition 7/ March 2022 / PL strona 15 / 28
Environmental conditions with increased risk:
environments with increased risk include bathrooms and showers, kitchens, garages, cellars, saunas, rooms for pets,
operating blocks of hospitals, hydrophores, heat exchangers, spaces limited by conductive surfaces, campsites, open areas,
etc.
In rooms and spaces with increased risk conditions, automatic devices should be used to turn off the power supply to the
damaged product, e.g. residual current devices. It is recommended to use in bathrooms, kitchens, garages and basements.
Must be used in swimming and shower pools, saunas, on construction sites, when powering outdoor devices, in farms and
horticulture, in camping and recreational vehicles and in rooms at risk of fire.
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 guidelines for safe connection:
 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
 pay attention to the correct position of the power cable at the entrance to the product so that the water may be
drained and flow down the cable.
Incorrect connection of the motor can lead to product damage or create a hazardous situation.
The motors have thermal switches that turn off the drive after a few minutes of continuous operation
to protect against overheating. After switching off by the thermal protection, wait an appropriate
time depending on the type of motor and ambient temperature (several minutes) to be able to restart
it.
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. The method of using the motors is
included in a separate instruction manual, as well as on the manufacturer's website.
The product may be damaged if the central control does not function properly.
An interruption in the power supply or a failure of the installation may cause the central control to malfunction.
Awning motors are not designed for continuous operation. The integrated overheating protection shuts down the
motor after a few minutes of continuous operation. The motor restarts after several minutes. This is the time it takes
for the motor to cool down. This time depends on the ambient temperature.
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,
 the effectiveness of zeroing the product and the electrical system should be checked at each new installation site.
When the awning starts working attention should be paid to:
 Correct rolling down and up of the fabric
 Correct activation of limit switches
Self-regulation of extreme position by an untrained person may lead to product damage.
4.7 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).
