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 category 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.

01/09/2022 3/15 E_MH_Mounting_instructions_Skylux_Electric_screen_Solar
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.
Connection and charging
• Not suitable for charging appliances.
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 Risk Analysis!
If in doubt: STOP! Do not take unnecessary risks. Ask your supervisor if needed.

Dimensions and position of the electric screen
General:
The dimensions of the electric screen depend on the daylight size of the curb. The electric screen is to be installed
in the daylight size, at the top of the curb.
Please note: installing the electric screen with Solar deeper in the curb will significantly reduce the eency of the
Solar solar panel.
Curb requirements:
It is important that the curb and its daylight size are perpendicular and have no deformations.
Correct: perpendicular and no deformations Wrong: not perpendicular and deformations
Preparation
The electric screen must always be installed on the inside of the skylight’s curb.
General:
During the installation and possible plasterboard finish for the ceiling and the curb, the accessibility and possible
removal of the electric screen afterwards must be taken into account. This is to ensure a good service afterwards.
Removing the screen afterwards via the top or outside of the skylight is not possible.
Finish:
Provide the necessary details for any further finish the inside of the curb.
The standard finish is done with plasterboard up to the roof opening, and up to the provided lining groove at the
bottom of the curb if applicable.
If a higher finish with plasterboard is desired, a distance of at least 20 mm must be left between the top side of the
plasterboard and the bottom of the electric screen. The customer must always remove the plasterboard if service
is needed and/or if the electric screen must be removed.
The charging port must also always be accessible.
