1.3 Important safety information
The safety instructions and warnings described here are
intended to safeguard your health as well as protect the
product. Please read the following points carefully.
Damage resulting from inappropriate use or the failure to
observe these instructions or safety information is not
covered by the guarantee. Liability will not be accepted
for secondary damage.
General conditions
If the external venetian blind with auxiliary motor and bat-
tery-operated emergency retraction set is used at escape
doors and emergency windows to protect against sum-
mer heat and glare and to provide privacy, the battery-
operated emergency retraction set is activated in case of
an emergency to clear the escape route.
Correct functioning of the external veneti-
an blind with auxiliary motor and battery-
operated emergency retraction set and,
therefore, unblocking of the escape doors
and emergency windows in case of an
emergency are only ensured if you follow
our safety instructions closely.
Danger to life and limb if the WAREMA
control is not used!
It must be ensured that the external venetian
blind is only activated by the associated
electronic battery-operated control. Mani-
pulations by third parties must be
excluded. It is important that the external
venetian blind is not blocked by dirt or
obstacles.
Danger to life and product damage from
incorrect procedure during commission-
ing! If the following points are not followed,
no warranty can be granted for functional
problems, soiling and damage.
The external venetian blind must remain
out of service until the commissioning has
been released.
Raise the external venetian blind fully to
clear the escape route. The external ve-
netian blind is sufficiently raised if the ex-
ternal venetian blind disappears into the
cover panel (if present), or if the escape
door or emergency window can be ope-
ned.
Installation preparations
Danger to life from restrictions of the escape
route while during installation of the external
venetian blind with auxiliary motor and bat-
tery-operated emergency retraction set! Befo-
re beginning installation, inform the safety
officer that the escape route is available only
to a limited extent. It must be ensured that the
building can be evacuated along a different
escape route.
Risk of injury and damage to the product
from incorrect installation!
Comply with the specified installation
steps and instructions.
Install the product only if it is in technically
perfect condition.
Before installation, check the mounting

loads.
Widely cordon off the installation site and
the projection area of the external veneti-
an blind.
Packaging
Risk of suffocation! Do not leave the packa-
ging material lying around, and keep children
away from small parts. Plastic film, polystyre-
ne, small parts, etc., can be very dangerous
for children to play with.
Electrical connection
Electric shock from incorrect installation!
The electrical installation must be performed
by a certified electrician in accordance with
the electrical installation regulations published
by the Association of German Electrical Engi-
neers (VDE 0100) or the standards and regu-
lations of the country in which the product is

2.3 Intended use
The external venetian blind with auxiliary motor and bat-
tery-operated emergency retraction set is an external sun
shading system used at escape doors and emergency
windows to protect against summer heat and glare and to
provide privacy. In the projection area of the external
venetian blind, there must be no obstacles/protruding
parts (for example, door stop), especially on the door
leaf, that would prevent raising of the external veneti-
an blind while also opening the escape door at the
same time. If this cannot be prevented, other technical
measures must ensure that the closure on the door leaf
can be opened before the escape route is cleared by the
external venetian blind with auxiliary motor and battery-
operated emergency retraction set. However, this must
always be planned and approved by the architect/planner
or the local building authority. Inappropriate use may
result in significant danger.
All external venetian blinds for external use are designed
for a wind load of 1.1 kN/m² (DIN 1055). The directive
entitled "Wind loads for construction of closures and aw-
nings when retracted – Section 5.1.1"1defines the positi-
ons at which these products can be installed without
requiring special precautions.
To ensure that the external venetian blind with auxiliary
motor and battery-operated emergency retraction set can
be activated reliably, the external venetian blind must
always be operated via the associated electronic bat-
tery-operated control.
Additional loads on the external venetian blind with auxili-
ary motor and battery-operated emergency retraction set,
such as from suspended objects, could damage the pro-
duct or cause it to fall (for example, tearing of the lifting
tapes), or cause the external venetian blind with auxiliary
motor and battery-operated emergency retraction set to
fail, and are therefore also not permitted.
The intended use also includes observing these instruc-
tions and the installation conditions.

)NOTE
Compliance with legal provisions and country-
specific regulations on site is the responsibility of
the ordering party/building owner. There may be
regional regulations and conditions that prohibit
use of the external venetian blind with auxiliary
motor and battery-operated emergency retraction
set. However, each and every case cannot be
investigated by WAREMA.
)NOTE
Use of the battery-operated control for external
venetian blinds with auxiliary motor and battery-
operated emergency retraction set is only permis-
sible in normal room climates. The intended use
only applies in the specified temperature range (as
per the technical data in the installation instruc-
tions). Use in damp locations (such as swimming
pools) is not permissible.
The heating from outside influences must be less
than the intrinsic warmth.

2.4 Wind speed limits
For external venetian blinds, the use of wind speed limits
(see Tab. 3) depends on the particular product type. If the
wind speed limits are reached, the external venetian blind
must be retracted. It is recommended that the wind sen-
sors be set to the lowest value, e.g. to 13.5 m/s for Beau-
fort 7.

3.12 Performing a functional check with the
external venetian blind
)NOTE
The motors are preset at the factory. It is not per-
missible to set the upper limit position.
DANGER
Danger to life and product damage from incor-
rectly set limit positions!
Do not adjust the upper limit position of the
motor. It is not permitted to change the fac-
tory setting.
The escape door could be blocked if it
becomes impossible to raise the sun sha-
ding system.
Connect the programming cable to the plug-in
connector of the external venetian blind drive.
Check the limit positions of the external venetian
blind by lowering and raising it multiple times.
)NOTE
In the lower limit position, the bottom rail should not
rest on an object. The blind must hang freely in the
lifting tapes.
Raise the external venetian blind with auxiliary motor
and battery-operated emergency retraction set fully to
the upper limit position to clear the escape route. The
external venetian blind is sufficiently raised if the ex-
ternal venetian blind disappears into the cover panel
(if present), or if the escape door or emergency
window can be opened.
Remove the test cable.
)NOTE
Do not use the external venetian blind with auxiliary
motor and battery-operated emergency retraction
set until the battery-operated control has been ta-
ken into service.

DANGER
Danger to life and short circuit from damage
to motor line! Damage can lead to a short
circuit and/or the required emergency retrac-
tion time is not reached.
Keep the motor line away from all moving
parts. To secure the motor line, press it
into the line clamps on the top rail.

DANGER
Functional problems and product damage due
to incorrect operation in frosty conditions! The
external venetian blind can freeze when tem-
peratures drop below the specified tempera-
ture (+ 3 °C).
Do not operate the external venetian blind
if it is frozen.
Avoid applying force to the external ve-
netian blind if it is frozen. The external ve-
netian blind can become damaged.
In wintry temperatures, retract the product
to the upper limit position and change to
winter operation. If the external venetian
blind is controlled by a higher level control
without ice monitoring, the control can op-
tionally be set in such a way that the ex-
ternal venetian blind stays in the upper
limit position and can no longer be lowered
by the control or local operating elements.
We recommend the use of an ice monito-
ring system.
