2.2 PreParing the inStallation Transport the awning to the site of installation, ensuring that the orientation is correct. Secure the installation zone (the secured zone must be at least equivalent to the size of the fully deployed awning). If the awning is hoisted to higher installation positions with ropes, the awning must be removed from the packaging. When attaching the hoisting ropes, ensure that the awning is properly fastened, but not damaged. Hoist the awning exclusively in horizontal position and evenly. Before commencing the installation, please verify whether the type and number of brackets is in conformity with the order and whether the base material is the same as that stated on your order. If significant differences make the safe installation of the awning seem doubtful, please consult the manufacturer of the system and a mounting/installation specialist. If the information above is not observed, the awning system may fall down and put the health of persons at risk! www.helioscreen.com.au | Phone 1300 766 319 Helioscreen Rubix • INSTALLATION GUIDE | 3...
The mounting height depends on the extended length and inclination of the awning. Please refer to the drawing on the right for basic orientation. Always ensure that there is sufficient headroom. The awning is appropriate to a limited extent as a means of protection against rain. In any event, the minimum inclinati- on for such applications must be 14°. The limitations of the use are defined in the relevant operating instructions. PoSition of the braCketS: On the back of the casing of the awning, there are stickers with the definition of the bracket positions. Mark the positional points on the base material. Try to find the ideal position for the bracket center. Do not go beyond the limit areas of the bracket centers, this could lead to damages to or a malfunction of the awning. www.helioscreen.com.au | Phone 1300 766 319 Helioscreen Rubix • INSTALLATION GUIDE | 5...
2.5 mounting teChnique mounting on thermally inSulated faCadeS: Insulation protection taken out Insulating plaster and full multi-layer thermal insulation are not pres- sure stable. Therefore, it is necessary to use backing for the entire surface, or at least distancers for the area around the screws. The accompanying figure explains a possible variant: Distance tube braCket mounting: Loosely fasten all brackets and achieve true alignment. Even out irregularities of the base by using suitable spacers. Then tighten all screws and check that brackets are firmly attached. Reduce the projection of installation bolts to a minimum (max. 11mm), otherwise it is impossible to hook in the awning. www.helioscreen.com.au | Phone 1300 766 319 Helioscreen Rubix • INSTALLATION GUIDE | 6...
Before the initial operation of the awning, remove all objects (e.g. ladders, tools etc.) from the full travel range (in/out) of the awning and from underneath the awning. During the trial operation, ensure that nobody is in this area – there is a risk of injury in case of a malfunction. 3.1 with motor driVe For trial operation, always use the test cable (no automatic control units etc.). In addition, the operator must be able to see the awning. If the test cable has not yet been connected, connect to the cable of the driving gear. The end position switches of the motors are factory set. However, readjustments on location according to the "motor adjustment manual" are possible. Fully extend awning and check switch-off point. In fully extended condition, the awning is optimally stretched. When winding up the awning for the first time, check that the covering is wound up properly and that the articulated arms fold correctly (parallel). Electrical installation work and connections to the mains must be carried out exclusively by a licensed electrical com- pany.
