Safety
Take the necessary and required safety precautions, such as safety nets and lifelines when installing from the
outside, safety goggles, gloves, hard hat, etc.
Do not step on the glass.
Falling from height
• When using ladders to go on the roof:
- Ladder in good condition?
- Set up correctly at an angle of 75°?
- Secured below and on top against moving?
- Don’t take heavy material with you on the ladder (3-point contact rule)! If possible,
use a crane to lift the material.
• Do not lift material over the roof edge; use a crane to put the material on the roof.
• Roof zone: make sure the part of the roof where the skylight/barrel vault will be installed is
safe enough, e.g. secure the edge (support system in the roof gutter that supports against the
outer wall of the building, with suitable A B C categorie depending on the roof pitch) or use a
scaffold so no one can fall off the roof. If the roof is not safe enough, always use a harness with
lifeline (adapted to the fall height), attached to a suitable attachment point.
•Make sure the roof is stable and does not have dangerous openings or insufficient secure parts
(e.g. corrugated sheets, …). Take the necessary measures if this is not the case: strengthen,
use suitable safety nets below the danger zones, …
• Before making the roof opening for the skylight/barrel vault: make sure there are safety nets
conform to the current legislation. The nets must be attached firmly and sufficiently to the
building.
•When using an aerial work platform: always wear and secure your harness (mandatory)! Leaving
the cage is forbidden.
• Never walk backwards on a roof, always walk forwards.
• Make sure there’s enough light in the working zone.
Low-hanging obstacles and falling loads
• Forbidden to walk under or within a radius of 1 m of a hanging or lifted load.
• Demarcate the danger zone below the skylight/barrel vault, in the building as well as on the
outside near the outer walls (in case material slides off the roof). If the zone is demarcated,
people cannot be hit by any falling loads. It’s prohibited to enter these danger zones during
construction.
Crushing hazard
• All working tools are in good condition, provided with a valid CE label and all necessary safety
regulations. These cannot be removed.
• People who use these working tools are educated for this purpose. Protections are always
present on all working tools. They are in good condition and need to be set correctly.
Tripping/falling
•Safety is key and it begins with order and tidiness. Clean everything immediately, leave nothing
lying around.
• Trash needs to be sorted.
• Be cautious with electric cables (danger of tripping/falling). Never walk backwards!
• Make sure there’s enough light in the working zone.

Sharp objects
• Make sure your fingers/hands are not pinched and watch out for cuts while handling skylights
or barrel vaults.
• Be careful where you put your hands during the installation.
• Wearing cut-resistant gloves is mandatory.
Ergonomics
• Always lift loads correctly: bend your knees, move your feet instead of forcing your spine, lift
as close to your body as possible.
• Parts of more than 25 kg must be lifted with at least 2 persons.
Personal protective equipment
• Work clothes, safety shoes and helmet are mandatory for everyone.
• Lifeline and harness are mandatory if the edge is not secured enough or if there are no safety nets below the
roof opening. They are also necessary when using an aerial working platform.
• Use gloves when handling skylight or barrel vault parts.
• Safety glasses and hearing protection are mandatory when using saws / grinders.
Always perform a Last Minute Risc Analysis!
If in doubt: STOP! Do not take unnecessary risks. Ask your supervisor if needed.

3 General
The iDome Flex 2.0 or iWindow2-3 Flex 2.0 is the openable hybrid/flat glass skylight for applications in flat roofs
with integrated 230 V chain actuator in the frame.
Rain detection is included as standard, which closes the skylight automatically in case of precipitation.
This openable skylight is suited for fresh air ventilation.
Motor stroke length 25 cm.
4 Important information
- Read instructions carefully before installation. Keep these instructions for future reference.
- The operating voltage is 230 V AC.
- Routing or installing of electrical cables and connections may only be performed by specialised companies.
- Your Flex 2.0 product is designed to be used with a switch which automatically returns (spring loaded) to the

WILL cause damage to the chain actuator.
- To avoid crushing of body parts, the zone of the openable section must always be avoided during installation.
- Do not paint or lacquer the rain sensor.
- Dirt on the rain sensor may cause operating problems. Therefore, it is recommended to clean the rain sensor
with a soft wet cloth once or twice a year or when required.

13 Pre-installing the rain sensor on skylight
For transport, the rain sensor is stowed inside the skylight.
13.1 Mounting rain sensor on bracket
Before removing the skylight from the packaging:
Open up the side where the rain sensor is located in order to have easy access to the rain sensor bracket.
Use the 4 included hexagon domed cap nuts. Tighten with a wrench 8 mm. 8

16 Actuator connection to chain bracket
Right out of the box, the chain length of your Flex 2.0 product sticks out approximately 10 cm.
This is done so you do not need to have mains power to mount the chain to the bracket.
Remove any protection foam from the chain.
CAUTION: crushing hazard!
Safely place temporary spacer elements (e.g. wooden blocks) between the frame and the curb as assistance during
the installation.
