Edition 7/ March 2022 / EN page 16 / 29
List of steps:
connection to the electrical supply system,
connection to the electrical control system.
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.
The connection must take into account the environmental conditions in which the product will be used. The connection
must be made by a licensed electrician.
The electrical connection and setting of the motors must be carried out in accordance with the instructions of the motor
manufacturers.
The instructions are attached to the product and are also available on the websites of motor manufacturers and on the
website:
www.selt.com → OUR OFFER → MOTOR, ELECTRIC, EQUIPMENT
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:
podłączenie musi wykonać elektryk posiadający uprawnienia elektryczne oraz doświadczenie zawodowe,
podczas podłączania należy przestrzegać przepisów BHP,
podłączenie elektryczne i ustawienie silników należy wykonać zgodnie z instrukcją producenta silników dołączoną
do wyrobu,
zwrócić uwagę na poprawne ułożenie kabla zasilającego przy wejściu do wyrobu celem odprowadzenia wody
mogącej spłynąć po kablu.
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.
4.6.1 CONNECTION TO ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

DT-E 11.12 SUN PROTECTION SYSTEM –BALCONY AWNING ITALIA BOX
Edition 7/ March 2022 / EN page 17 / 29
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).
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.
4.6.2 REMOTE OPERATION
4.6.3 START-UP AND ADJUSTMENT

DT-E 11.12 SUN PROTECTION SYSTEM –BALCONY AWNING ITALIA BOX
Edition 7/ March 2022 / EN page 18 / 29
Do not allow the fabric to be rolled in the opposite
direction (from the bottom of roller tube), since it may
