1 Safety
1�1 Intended use
Conservatory shades and pergolas are used to shade glass roofs,
conservatories and terrace areas. They are used exclusively for
shade and protection against UV radiation, the sun, heat and light
rain.
In order to reduce the risk of an electric shock, the operator must
ensure that the power supply is secured with a waterproof socket
or that the power supply is permanently connected to a waterproof
connection box that is compliant with 314.15 of the National Elec-
tricity Code NFPA 70.
Intended use also includes compliance with all information speci-
fied in these operating instructions. Any use or other use that goes
beyond the specified intended use is deemed as improper use.
1�2 Unintended use
Improper use of the conservatory shades and pergolas can lead to
dangerous situations and damage.
 Do not connect, lean against, drill, glue on or attach anything
to the shade or make any other technical changes to it.
 Only have it connected to the power supply by a licensed elec-
trician and secure it with its own fuse.
 Never operate the awning against obstacles.
 Never use abrasive, corrosive or aggressive cleaning agents
on any components of the shades.
 Never allow children to operate the shade unattended.
 The remote control and hook rod must be kept out of the
reach of children.
 Grilling and open flames below the extended pergolas are
strictly prohibited!
 Never use during a storm.

persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities or lack
of experience and knowledge if they are supervised or instructed in
the safe use of the shades and they understand potential hazards.
Ensure the following:
• Children must not climb on or hang from the shade at any time.
• The remote control and hook rod must be kept out of the reach
of children.

Tips and recommendations
This symbol indicates useful tips and recommendations as
well as information for efficient and smooth operation�
Safety instructions in operating instructions
Safety instructions may refer to specific individual instructions for
action. Such safety instructions are embedded in the instructions
for action so that they do not interrupt the flow of reading when the
action is taken. The signal words described above are used.
Example:
1. Risk of damaging the shade!
Only extend the fabric panel when the travel path is clear.
1�4 Safety instructions
Electrical hazards
Risk of death due to electric current!
• Have all work or repairs on the electric system or drive sys-
tems of the shade carried out exclusively by a licensed
electrician�
• In case of damage to electrical components or lines, imme-
diately disconnect the power supply and arrange repair by
alicensed electrician�
• Never bypass fuses�
• Keep moisture away from live components�
Improperly carried out work on the shade's electrical system
can lead to accidents resulting in serious injuries and even
death�

Static charges
Risk of injury due to static charges on the cover!
• Always discharge possible charges from the fabric by short
contact with a non-conductive material�
The fabric panel can become statically charged due to move-
ment, low humidity or still-new cover fabric� Contact with the
skin can lead to static discharges and thus possibly to conse-
quential hazards such as falling from the ladder�
Risk of eye damage
Risk of eye damage due to long direct eye contact with light-
ing!
• Do not look directly into the optional LED lighting�
Looking at switched-on lighting for a prolonged time may
cause damage to the eyes�
Low temperatures
Risk of damaging the shade due to operation at low tempera-
tures!
• Before each use, make sure that the conservatory shade or
pergola is free of ice� If necessary, remove ice�
Operation of the conservatory shading or pergola at low tem-
peratures below 37 °F (3 °C) and/or icing can lead to damage
to the cover or the drive�

AIROMATIC PS4500 | TARGA PS6000 | PERGOLINO P3500
Wind load
Risk of accident due to strong winds!
• Do not use the shades at wind speeds over 26 kn (49 km/h)�
At higher speeds, discontinue use�
• Retract the shade in good time�
Use of the shade at higher wind speeds can lead to accidents
and damage�
Wind resistance:
The models AIROMATIC PS4500, TARGA PS6000 and PERGOLINO
P3500 meet the wind resistance requirements of class 3 (26 kn)
when extended.
1. In case of expected strong winds (> 26 kn/49 km/h), completely
retract the fabric panels.
2. Completely retract optional side and front shades.
Wind load table
The following table provides an overview of wind strengths and
their properties:
Class
Wind force
(according to
Beaufort)
Wind speeds (kn, km/h) Impact
0 1 – 3 up to 10 kn
(up to 19 km/h) Leaves and thin branches move.
1 4 11 kn – 15 kn
(20 km/h – 28 km/h)
Twigs and thin branches move, paper is
lifted from the ground.
2 5 16 kn – 20 kn
(29 km/h – 38 km/h)
Branches move. Small deciduous trees
sway.
3 6 21 kn – 26 kn
(39 km/h – 49 km/h)
Strong branches sway and umbrellas are
hard to keep upright.
4 7 27 kn – 33 kn
(50 km/h – 64 km/h)
Trees sway, strong resistance when walking
against the wind.
When using an optional climate control system (e.g. wind sensor),
present wind speeds are measured in real time and when a limit
value is reached or exceeded, shades are automatically extended or
retracted through a radio signal.

2 Getting to know shades
The shade types listed in the following are divided into conservato-
ry shades and pergolas.
2�1 Overview of conservatory shades
Conservatory shade AIROMATIC PS4500
Conservatory shades provide shading for conservatories, glass
roofs and skylights. The self-supporting, completely closed box
construction is installed in an exterior, surface-mounted setup. The
gas-pressure cylinder in the guide rails continuously keeps the aw-
ning fabric taut. The shade is operated electrically via a remote
control. The drive is a tubular motor with automatic end stop. Op-
tionally, the shade can be equipped with climate sensors such as
sun, rain, wind and temperature sensors.

2�2 Overview of pergolas
Pergola PERGOLINO P3500
This pergola provides shade for terraces and patios. The pergo-
la is comprised of powder-coated aluminum profiles. Over a certain
incline, water eyelets in the fabric panel allow rainwater to drain
quickly.
The fabric stop block keeps the fabric panel taut and prevents
hanging, flapping and puddle formation.
The pergola is operated electrically via a remote control. The drive
with automatic end stop halts the travel of the fabric panel at
thestart and end positions. Optionally, the pergola can be equipped
with LED lighting or climate sensors such as sun, rain, wind and
temperature sensors.

2�3 Components of conservatory shades
The components of conservatory shades are described in the
following.
Guide rails
Fig. 5: Guide rails
The guide rails (fig. 5) made of powder-coated
aluminum profiles guide the fabric panel through
an interior rope system. The guide runners ensure
smooth and even movement of the fabric panel.
A gas-pressure mechanism keeps the fabric pan-
el taut.
Box and drop-out profile
Fig. 6: Box and drop-out profile
The box profile and drop-out profile (fig. 6) of the
shade are comprised of powder-coated aluminum
profiles. In a closed state, the two components
form a closed box in which the fabric panel on the
fabric shaft is protected against weather.

2�4 Components of pergolas
The components of pergolas are described in the following.
Frame
Fig. 9: Frame
The frame (fig. 9/1) is comprised of powder-coat-
ed, lightweight aluminum profiles. The box pro-
file is firmly anchored to the wall, while the sup-
ports are fastened to the ground with foot brack-
ets. Depending on local conditions, the frame can
also be mounted to the wall or ceiling.
Water drainage
Fig. 10: Water drainage
Rainwater drains from the taut fabric panel either
through the water eyelets (PERGOLINO) or into
the gutter on the drop-out profile.

AIROMATIC PS4500 | TARGA PS6000 | PERGOLINO P3500
Drive system
Fig. 11: Drive system
The electric motor (fig. 11/1) is an AC induction
motor. Power is transmitted on both sides via
gears to a toothed belts with Kevlar reinforce-
ment, which drives the drop-out profile. The drive
is controlled using a remote control.
Fabric stop block (PERGOLINO model)
Fig. 12: Fabric stop block
The fabric stop block is located to the left and
right on the front yoke of the frame. The fabric
panel travels to the final position. The stop block
is inserted with the hook rod and locks the ex-
tended fabric panel in place.
The fabric panel is pulled back, held by the lock
function and thus tightened. This prevents the
fabric panel from flapping and puddle formation
incase of rain.
