    SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS; INSTALLATION INFORMATION 1.1 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Disregarding the applicable instructions for installation and/or operation could endanger the individuals involved. It is very important that the installation and operating instructions are observed. Disregarding these instructions absolves the manufacturer of liability. Country-specific legal requirements regarding occupational health and safety and accident prevention must be observed.

  • Page 5: Installation Instructions And Restrictions

    2.3 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS Before beginning installation, please note the following: • The standard Twister-Sail version is designed to operate with an incline of 0% to 40% (= 22°). • A minimum incline of 14% (= 8°) is recommended in order for water to run off independently.

  • Page 6: Installing The Wall Consoles Or The Console Rail

    2.4 INSTALLING THE WALL CONSOLES OR THE CONSOLE RAIL The first step is to determine the position of the rolled-up Twister-Sail, in accordance with the installation instructions and the restrictions regarding the fixed supporting surface, i.e. • the installation height on the wall or ceiling (incline, water run-off, clearance height, etc.), the position of the left and right ends of the Twister-Sail system (lateral freedom of movement, etc.).

  • Page 7: Version Using Wall Consoles

    2.4.2 VERSION USING WALL CONSOLES For each mounting console, there are two options for mounting it onto the supporting surface: • either using two ø 6 mm countersunk screws • or by using one M10 size bolt in the centre (e.g. threaded bolt). It is advisable to start by horizontally mounting the two outermost wall consoles at the prescribed 10 cm distance from the edge.

  • Page 8: Version Using A Console Rail

    2.4.3 VERSION USING A CONSOLE RAIL The console rail should be 3 cm narrower than the width of the cylinder system, which means that the rail should be inset by 1.5 cm at each end. Mounting holes that are suited to the mounting location should be drilled in the console rail so that it can be affixed to the supporting surface.

  • Page 9: Attaching The Fabric Screen To The Wall Consoles Or The Console Rail

    2.5 ATTACHING THE FABRIC SCREEN TO THE WALL CONSOLES OR THE CONSOLE RAIL When the Twister-Sail is delivered, it is already completely rolled up the tube and the end of the fabric screen is threaded into the sail connection rail using a keder welt and fastened there (= fabric screen unit).
  • Page 10 Ceiling mounting: The fabric screen unit is lifted so that it is behind the wall consoles or console rail that were/ was mounted previously. The sail connection rail is then inserted into the grooves in the wall consoles or the groove of the console rail, as pictured. Ceiling mounting –...

  • Page 11: Positioning The Columns (Inox) Or The Tensioning Element (Structure)

    2.6 POSITIONING THE COLUMNS (INOX) OR THE TENSIONING ELEMENT (STRUCTURE) The first step is to measure 1.5 cm from both ends of the sail connection rail towards the centre of the rail and to mark these points. The distance between these two points is therefore 3 cm less than the width of the system, as well as being equal to the distance between the two tension cable apertures on the two tensioning elements.
  • Page 12 Version using columns without mounting plates (INOX, e.g. when mounting to balcony railings): By using mounting fittings that are adapted for the scenario (specially-designed pipe clips, U-bolts or other fittings), the column is mounted in such a way that it has an incline of 0° to 5°...

  • Page 13: Attaching The Tension Cable

    2.7 ATTACHING THE TENSION CABLE Before attaching the tension cable to the cable taper, carefully turn the tensioning unit clockwise using a crank (or, alternatively, a 7 mm hex key) in order to run the adjustment units in both tensioning elements to their limits so that the longest possible distance will subsequently be available for tensioning.
  • Page 14 The hole numbering always begins at the end of the taper with the largest diameter, which is closest to the fabric screen (begins with cable hole #1), and the values increase towards the narrower end of the taper (ends with: cable hole #16)! When inserting the tension cable into the correct cable hole, this should always take place from the upper side of the tension cable taper into the cable hole and never from the bottom side! Proceeding from the relevant cable hole, the tension cables should run along...

  • Page 15: Pretensioning And Securing The Tension Cables In The Tension Cable Tapers

    2.8 PRETENSIONING AND SECURING THE TENSION CABLES IN THE TENSION CABLE TAPERS Two Bowden cable tubes and two tension cable clamps are used to secure the tension cables in the tension cable taper. The tension cable clamps are self-securing and each have two sides with a total of three hole openings (release hole, tension cable inlet hole, tension cable outlet hole) 1 Release hole H Bowden cable tube...

  • Page 16: Pretensioning A Tension Cable By Hand

    2.8.1 PRETENSIONING A TENSION CABLE BY HAND (1) First keep pushing the tension cable clamp up until the Bowden cable tube is touching the inside of the tension cable taper, right where the hole is. (2) Then, use one hand to tighten the tension cable between the tensioning element and the section close to the tension cable taper –...

  • Page 17: Installing The Operating Unit

    2.9 INSTALLING THE OPERATING UNIT The first operating cord pulley is already installed on the sail connection rail or the console rail (approx. 7 cm from the outside edge). If the operating cord has to be attached at another position other than the right or left end of the system, it is possible to mount additional operating cord pulleys at the appropriate points.

  • Page 18: Tensioning The Twister-Sail

    2.10 TENSIONING THE TWISTER-SAIL: Pre-tension the tension cable by using a tensioning crank (or a 7 mm hex key) to turn it anti-clockwise (approx. 100 turns). S Tension E Release tension Tensioning crank plugged into tensioning-hole of STRUCTURE tensioning element Do not use a cordless screwdriver for the tensioning as this could risk destroying the tensioning system! Remove the two cylinder clamps by unscrewing the relevant screws –...

  • Page 20: Final Adjustment To Operating Cord

    2.11 FINAL ADJUSTMENT TO OPERATING CORD For the final adjustment to the length of the operating cord, the Twister-Sail should be rolled out completely. The operating cord is pulled taut and secured in the operating cord clamp. Then, the free end of the operating cord is first pulled through the upper hole in the adjustable rope clamp (supplied) and then through the opening in the cord holder back up towards the operating cord clamp.

  • Page 21: Fine Adjustments To The Columns (Inox) Or The

    2.12 FINE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE COLUMNS (INOX) OR THE TENSIONING ELEMENT (STRUCTURE): Now, fine adjustments are also made to the tensioning elements. By gently pushing the tensioning elements in directions that are transverse to the extension direction of the system, ensure that the tension cable is running as straight as possible (when extended, without changing direction to the left or right) from the point at which it leaves the tension cable taper until it reaches the pulley in the INOX column or in the STRUCTURE tensioning element.

  • Page 22: Attaching Restraint Cables To The Tension Cables

    2.13 ATTACHING RESTRAINT CABLES TO THE TENSION CABLES There are two different options for restraint cables: • Restraint cables that are built into the tensioning element • Restraint cables that are supplied in the accessory box 2.13.1 VERSION USING: RESTRAINT CABLES BUILT INTO THE TENSIONING ELEMENT For this step, the Twister-Sail is rolled out completely.

  • Page 23: Version Using: Restraint Cables That Are Built Into The Tensioning Element Page 22 2.13.2 Version Using: Restraint Cables That Are Supplied In The Accessory Box

    The egg-shaped cable clamp can now be screwed together using a screwdriver. When both cables are correctly positioned inside the cable clamp, a pair of pliers is used in combination with the screwdriver to tighten the rope clamp to a very high degree. (see image) Important: The more tightly the clamp is screwed together, the heavier the load the restraint cable will be able to bear.

  • Page 24: Installing The Protective Roof (Optional, Only Possible For Wall-Mounting)

    2.14 INSTALLATION OF THE PLEXIGLAS PROTECTIVE ROOF (OPTIONAL, ONLY POSSIBLE WITH WALL MOUNTING) Depending on the width of the system, the protective roof is delivered in one piece or in two pieces with connection components. Before taking the next steps, completely remove the protective film from the protective roof element(s).

  • Page 25: Commissioning

    COMMISSIONING Before commissioning the Twister-Sail, remove all items (e.g. ladders, tools, etc.) that are in or below the Twister-Sail’s range of movement. During the test runs, nobody should be in this area due to the danger caused by potential malfunctions. DISASSEMBLY Ensure that there are no unauthorised persons in the area around the Twister-Sail.

  • Page 26: Faqs, The Causes Of Faults And How To Rectify Them

    FAQS, THE CAUSES OF FAULTS AND HOW TO RECTIFY THEM THE SAIL CONNECTION RAIL CANNOT BE COMPLETELY INSERTED INTO THE WALL CONSOLES OR THE CONSOLE RAIL Check to see if there are any set screws protruding into the groove(s) for the sail connection rail. If there are, the relevant set screws should be unscrewed as necessary.
  • Page 27 WHEN THE TWISTER-SAIL IS ROLLED OUT, THE CYLINDER IS VERY LOW AND THE TENSION CABLES HANG MUCH LOWER If you have not yet used all of the permitted tension, increase the tension of the tension cables on both sides. THE TENSION CABLES ARE NOISY WHEN THE SYSTEM IS ROLLED OUT One or both tensioning elements are too close to the opposite tensioning element (causing the tension cables to rub on each other while the system is rolled out).
