RANGE OF APPLICATION
FA-Series is a heavy-duty folding arm awning designed for
terraces, bungalows, balconies, kiosks, shops, restaurants etc.
FA-Series with pitch control provides maximum shading comfort.
The projection angle is infinitely adjustable from -5° to -40° just
by rotating the pitch control eyelets with the crank handle.
OPERATION
External operation by gear or motor. Internal operation by
motor. The motor can be completed with automatic controls, for
example remote control or sun and wind sensors.
INSTALLATION
The awning can easily be installed directly onto the wall or under
the eave. Flexible roof brackets available.
FOLDING ARMS
The arm components are manufactured with pressure die casted
aluminium and the arm profiles of extruded aluminium. The
Dyneema®-tape connection over both knee and arm brackets
improve the stability of the awning. Heavy-duty springs provide
an excellent tension of the fabric.
COMPONENTS
The installation brackets, end bracket and centre supports with
brackets are manufactured with extruded aluminium. Gears are
manufactured with pressure die casted zinc and the removable
crank handle in steel. Bushings for roller tube 70, 71, and 78 mm
are manufactured with pressure die casted zinc, bushings for
roller tube 85 mm in polyamide.
End cap for front and square tube are manufactured with
polyethylene, bushing in self lubricating polyamide.
Fasteners are manufactured with stainless steel, zinc plated
steel or steel surface treated with Dacro 500 LC.
SIROCCO Series Awnings can in most versions be provided with
a hood profile of extruded aluminium and with aluminium hood
side covers and hood bracket in extruded aluminium. Joining
piece in stainless steel.
PROFILES
The front tube and hood profile are manufactured with extruded
aluminium.
Roller tube 70, 78 and 85 mm are manufactured with special
zinc plated steel, roller tube 71 mm in extruded aluminium.
Square tube 35x35mm is manufactured with extruded
aluminium.
Square tube 40x40mm is manufactured with special zinc plated
steel.

Place the awning in the brackets with the supporting profiles. Lock the supporting profile using the
bracket screw.
If face-fixed to masonry, there must be at least seven courses of bricks above the mounting position.
The spreader plate is used with support tube awnings to spread the load over three courses of bricks. A minimum of
four bricks below the spreader plate is recommended.

INSTALLING THE AWNING
Place the awning in front of the installation site and measure out the height for the external brackets.
These must sit as close to the arm's attachment on the supporting tube as
possible. Mark out and drill the holes for these brackets (NOTE! the wave line).
Mount the brackets using the requisite plugs and screws.
Stretch a piece of string between the outer brackets, mark and drill the holes
for the other brackets.
Keep in mind to place the brackets at the correct height so that the awning
has a ground clearance at the front edge of 2.0 - 2.2 metres.

ROOF BRACKETS
Roof bracket sets may be used to suspend the awning from rafters. Tiles must be pushed back for access.
The rafter bracket is then bolted to the rafter so that the mounting surface sits on the eaves lining. The
awning mounting bracket has a plate that is adjustable to suit the angle of the rafter from 5º - 45º. The
universal bracket can then be installed to the roof bracket.
Alternatively, the fascia bracket can be used to gain even more height and install an awning on the outside of
the gutter. See sketch.(Use with standard wall bracket).

MOTORISED AWNINGS
The limit switches should be adjusted to allow the awning to reach its maximum extension with the cover held
taut, and to retract fully without straining the mechanism.
Fix the wind sensor to its bracket in a vertical position and install it in an exposed position, as close as possible
to the awning. When using a wind sensor with several awnings/screens, install the sensor in a place where it
will be exposed to maximum wind effect.
NOTE:
It is possible to connect one (1) single wind sensor to several controllers (please contact us). But you cannot
connect several wind sensors to one (1) single controller.
Fix the sun sensor to its bracket in a vertical position and install it with the sensor facing the sun.
NOTE:
Use coupling device module when connecting several sun sensors to one (1) single controller. Ask for specific
wiring diagram.
The sun control can most conveniently be checked under sunny conditions by alternately exposing the sensor
to the sunlight and shading it. The wind control can be checked by blowing vigorously on the anemometer
paddles.

Roll out the awning until the fabric slackens. Mark position of bracket to ensure you maintain the bracket
position sidewise.
Unscrew the two bottom nuts on the adjustment bracket, holding the front profile.
NOTE! Do not remove the nuts completely.
Move the front profile up or down until receiving the correct position when rolled in.

CLEANING:
The frame and the fabric are subjected to dirt and pollution and should be cleaned at least once a
year in order to retain their high finish. This is particularly important in more exposed installations, e.g.
environments near the sea. Use a soft cloth, tepid water and a mild cleaner. Do not use a high-pressure
washer as it can damage the awning fabric and any electrical equipment, etc. For a detailed description of
cleaning the fabric, please refer to its usage instructions.
REMOVAL OF THE AWNING'S VALANCE:
The valance is the most exposed part of the awning. To increase the valance's lifespan it can be stored
indoors during the winter months. First loosen the front profile's left or right end cover. Then loosen the
valance's fabric lock. Move the valance to the side so that it slides out from the front profile. Put back the end
cover and store the valance indoors.
CHANGING THE AWNING FABRIC:
Before changing the awning fabric, it is recommended to contact the company from which the awning
was purchased to arrange an inspection of the frame. This company can provide more information about
changing the fabric and also provide advice in case some other component may need to be replaced in order
for the awning to maintain its finish and function.
WARNING - ALWAYS ALLOW A PROFESSIONAL TO ADJUST THE FOLDING ARMS:
An awning has very powerful springs inside the arm's aluminium profiles. If the arm is loosened without first
being secured, it can cause serious personal injury and in the worst case death. The arms must therefore
always be adjusted by a professional.
WARNING - ALWAYS ALLOW A PROFESSIONAL TO LOOSEN THE AWNING'S END COVER:
The awning's end cover may need to be loosened when changing gears, the motor or the fabric. If the
awning's end cover is loosened without all of the awning's arms being secure, the arms can cause serious
personal injury and in the worst case death. The awning's end covers must therefore always be loosened by a
professional.
WARNING - ROLLING OUT THE AWNING:
When washing windows, painting the facade, or carrying out maintenance or repair of the awning, there are
risks, e.g. the ladder tipping over if the awning is rolled out when the work is being carried out. You should
therefore keep the awning rolled up when work is being carried out near the sun protection. The automatic
mechanisms on motorised awnings must be shut off in order to avoid unintentional operation.
Also make sure that the awning cannot make portable infrared or bottled gas heaters tip over or come into
contact with other objects that could damage the awning or cause other injuries.
