Scope of delivery

Check the delivery for completeness. Compare the delivery with the order, order confirmation and delivery note. Ensure proper temporary storage at the construction site. Remove and dispose of the packaging material. Protect all individual parts from damag

Fitting

Check the fitting location

Check the state of the wall opening / fitting location. The doors and elements are intended for interior use only. The doors are not suitable for static loads.

The state and dimensions of the wall opening must enable friction-locked fastening using suitable fixing materials such as plugs, anchors or screws.
The floor must be viable and level. For glazing, always plan downward fixing to prevent the glazing from sliding downwards.
Check the opening dimensions and element dimensions.
Transfer the metre line on the shell to the correct height of the element in the construction project. Remove the transport rails (35 × 35 mm) under the bottom profiles.

NOTE
You need 2 people for fitting.

Fitting accessories

Anchor plug sets and concrete screws in the wall spaced at least 50 mm. A wall thickness of min. 100 mm is required.
With gas concrete, the distance to the wall surface is min. 75 mm with a wall thickness of min. 150 mm.
For screw fixing with threaded bolts, you need on-site steel profiles with a wall thickness of min. 4 mm.
In case of thinner sheet profiles, reinforce the fitting points with fitting sheets on-site.

Coupling

If a large system is delivered disassembled, connect the individual frame parts to the fitting points provided on-site (for coupling see Figure 1). Decide whether you want to couple the elements lying or upright.

ATTENTION

Avoid a silicone haze on visible surfaces.

NOTE
With anchor fitting, fasten the anchors to the factory fitting points on the frame during this fitting phase (see Figure 4).

Set up and secure frame

For installation in the wall opening, fix the frame with wooden wedges or air cushions. Secure the frame from falling at all times. Align the frame vertically and horizontally. Use the wedges or air cushions for this. The connection joint must not exceed a width of max. 30 mm, the optimal width is 15 mm. If you use sealants, observe the manufacturer’s notices regarding the maximum groove width.

If the floor is not finished in the building, you have to prop the frame and door frame in the floor area. In this case, do not set up the element without propping (for a helpful wood tool, see Figure 2).

Prop and fix the external frame profiles

To align the frame, install the support blocks in the area of the fitting points. To align the element to the finished floor height and horizontally, begin at the bottom.
Fix the side support blocks to the corresponding fitting points. Secure the support blocks, for example with glue (see Figure 3).

ATTENTION

Risk of distortion

To avoid distortion, the entire surface of the blocks must be applied to the building structure and the frame profile.

With the door frame, make sure that all vertical rods are parallel to one another, uncrossed.

Fitting types

Anchor fitting (see Figure 4)
Plug-and-screw fitting (see Figure 5)
Screw fixing (see Figure 6)

With plug-and-screw fitting, drill through the factory holes on the frame into the wall with a Ø 10 mm drill (see Figure 4).

ATTENTION
Note the minimum edge spacing and minimum anchoring depth of the plugs

Insert the plugs through the holes. Tighten the plugs.
The frame must not move or warp.
You may have to loosen the screws, prop the frame again and then re-tighten the screws.

The element is now firmly anchored. Fix spacer blocks at the remaining fitting points with a low pre-tension to compensate for the gap. Fasten the plugs. To avoid frame deformation, do not tighten the plugs excessively. The interaction between the blocks and plugs exists with all fitting types. With anchor fitting (see Figure 4) this interaction does not apply because the plug on the building structure is not directly next to the blocks. Still, make sure there is pre-tension between the frame and building structure.

ATTENTION

Avoid imprecise working
This fitting phase is often characterized by imprecision, which mounts up to mistakes.

To avoid having to adjust the hinges later, adjust the fitting points carefully and precisely now.

Hang in and adjust the door leaves

You need 2 people and suitable lifting tools.

NOTE
Grease the hinges before you hang in the leaves.

Insert glass (see Figure 7)

Check the leaves

After finishing fitting, check the function. Check the door leaves for ease of movement and the following functions:

Correct opening and closing
Vertical rotation axis
Stable position without manual support
Correct opening and closing with keys
No deviating hinge gap dimensions

The hinges are adjusted to a gap dimension of 4 – 6 mm at the factory (not to zero position).

First, check the fitting points. In case of deviations, preferably make adjustments (or corrections, if necessary) there.
Make sure that the leaf is free of tension on the lock side and that it is positioned evenly on the frame at the top and bottom.
Only correct different gap dimensions on the hinge rod and lock rod at the fitting points, and not at the hinges.

Two-leaf systems

Check the following prerequisites:

The leaves close uncrossed at the centre rebate.
The frame has the same horizontal clear dimension at the top and bottom.
The side rods are parallel to one another.

NOTE
Do not correct leaf distortion via the hinges, but instead via the fitting points.

Adjusting the Charmag 3-way guide roller

(see Figure 8A)
When the systems are delivered, the eccentric brass bush is already installed in the welded upper leaf part of hinge and the ball pin and the counter grub screw in the lower leaf part of hinge. It is essential to grease the ball pin using the supplied hinge grease before suspending the leaf. After suspending the leaf, the hinges are adjusted to a gap dimension of 4 – 6 mm at the factory (5 ± 1 mm) – not to zero position.

Start with height adjustment on the lower hinge.
Please undo the grub screw first with a 6 mm Allen key.
Then insert a 5 mm Allen key through the grub screw into the ball pin and adjust the height.
Then counter the ball pin with the grub screw with 15 Nm. Then check the upper gap size and repeat the process once more as required.
Adjust the side gap dimension.
Remove the cover cap with a 5 mm Allen key.
By turning the eccentric bush with the supplied ring spanner, adjust the side gap dimension until it is even on all sides.
Align the leaf profiles to the frame profiles.
Then, adjust the top hinge / hinge pair.
Ensure that the ball pin does not have any play. Do not correct the height of the leaf again here.
Adjust the side gap dimension by turning in the eccentric bush. Check again.
ATTENTION
- For hinge pairs, make sure that both hinges are in the same axis. Do not tension the hinges against each other.
Tighten the counternuts and caps again.

Adjusting the weld-on guide rollers

(see Figure 8B)

Remove the hinge caps and counternuts under the caps.
Loosen the top hinge or hinge pair. Create play in the height adjustment.
Start with adjustment on the lower hinge.
Correct the height of the leaf on the lower hinge with a 4 mm Allen key.
Adjust the gap dimension at the top edge. Check the gap dimension.
Adjust the side gap dimension.
Check the side gap dimension by adjusting the eccentric bush with a ring spanner. Align the leaf profiles to the frame profiles.
Then, adjust the top hinge / hinge pair.
Using a 4 mm Allen key and the two grub screws, make sure that the bolt does not have any play. Do not correct the height of the leaf again here.
Adjust the side gap dimension by adjusting the eccentric bush with a ring spanner. Check again.
ATTENTION
- For hinge pairs, make sure that both hinges are in the same axis. Do not tension the hinges against each other.
Tighten the countersuits and caps again.

Connecting joint

Seal the joint between the glazing element and the building structure depending on the requirements. To achieve high tightness, use gap sealing strips, recompressed preformed gaskets or a combination of the two.
During planning, remember that the anchors can be seen from outside the fitting gap with anchor fitting. Use over coating or over plastering (see Figure 4).

Fitting the handle

(see Figure 9)

ATTENTION

Risk of scratches when screw-connecting the brass support brackets.
If movement occurs, please inspect all screw fittings and retighten if necessary.

Adjusting the latch slot

(see Figure 11)
The latch slot built into the lock plate provides secure closing of the traffic leaf. In fitting situations with weakened contact pressure of the leaf against the frame, replace the fitted standard latch slot (A) 12 mm with the latch slot (B) 9.5 mm from the accessory pack. Turning 180° results in 2 adjustment options per latch slot.

Inspection and maintenance

Grease the bolts and bushings of the hinges after 50,000 cycles.
Use a tool set from Hörmann.
Check the gap dimensions.
Check the fastening and function of all functionally important parts at least 1 × annually.
Address defects such as loose screws, damaged or missing seals, incorrectly set or sluggish door fittings immediately.
For additional notes on processing, maintenance and care as well as certificates and verifications, contact your dealer.

Maintenance

To maintain the surfaces of doors and frames, use a damp cloth, chamois or a lint-free microfibre cloth.
For stubborn dirt, use lukewarm water and washing-up liquid.
Dry the surface immediately with an absorbent piece of cloth.
Do not use abrasive, corrosive or solvent-based cleaners
