Technical description

Blinds are available in three mounting types in different sizes:

• BR: Bracket mounted
• MP: Mounting profile
• CA: Cassette (available in sizes C2 and C3)

There are three different types of fabric restraints:

• FH: Free hanging
• GW: Guide wire (available as Dome (A), Flush Mount (B) and Extended (C), see vGW versions in fig.1)
• ST: Side track (see ST version in fig. 1) (only powered versions)

The number on the product label indicating the blind type is located:

• For BR versions on the tube under the fabric
• For MP versions on the back of the mounting profile
• For CA versions on the back of the cassette

The powered blinds can be powered by 12 V , 24 V or 110 Vw, 230 V . The operating voltage requirement of the blind motor is specified on the label attached to the cable.

Electrical connection (only powered version)

WARNING! Electrocution hazard Disconnect the power supply before installation.

CAUTION! Risk of injury Important safety instructions. Follow all instructions since incorrect installation can lead to severe injury

NOTICE! Damage hazard The product must be connected to the correct power supply as specified on the product label. The motor in the product is designed to cut out when a set current is exceeded but the supply should be fused to protect the wiring to the product.

Notes on the electrical installation

Observe the following notes:

• Only for blinds with 110 Vw/230 Vw:

  • All grounding connections must be securely connected. Damage to the wire connections represent a potential safety or functionality concern and should be checked by a qualified person before installation.
    Power to the blind must be via a double pole isolation device with a minimum contact opening of 3.5 mm.

• Where electric supply failures are possible, an emergency backup power supply should be installed because the powered blinds do not have a manual control function.

• Control devices (e.g. switches) must be installed in visible locations.

• The routing of cables through walls or bulkheads must be protected and insulated by appropriate bushing, grommets or cable conduits.

• Secure all cables to prevent any contact with moving parts.

• Do not connect two or more motors to one switch as serious damage will occur.

• Do not connect one motor to two switches as serious damage will occur.

• Ensure cables are not damaged during installation.

• The product must be connected to the correct power supply as specified on the product label. The motor in the product is designed to cut out when a set current is exceeded but the supply should be fused to protect the wiring to the product.

• Ensure that the correct power supply is used for the supplied blind:

  • 12 V : Rated power 12 W
  • 24 V : Rated power 9 W, 19 W, 28 W, 52 W
  • 110 V : Rated power 114 W
  • 230 V : Rated power 100 W, 130 W

• One regulated power supply of the required specification is required per motor as failure to do so may cause the motor to function improperly.

• Any adjustment of set stop positions should only be made using the method specified for the motor type to avoid damage to the motor.

Notes on connecting to 12 V /24 V

Observe the following notes:

• bserve the cross section for cables:
  • Motor cable: 0.5 mm2 x 0.5 m If the power supply unit is installed in a distance of more than 0.5 m, the cross section must be adjusted to avoid a voltage drop of more than 3 %.
  • Switch cable: 0.13 mm2 x 0.5 m
• The motor control cable must be connected to a dry contact device. Any voltage on the control wires will cause irreparable damage to the motor.
• If controlled using switches:
  • Use a momentary, two independent (non interlocked), N/O + N/O single pole switches.
  • The operation of both up and down switches at same time will stop the motor.
  • Repeat action of switch stops the motor.
• If controlled using an automation system:
  • Use a two single pole N/O dry contact relays.
  • The operation of both relays stops the motor.

Notes on connecting to 110 V /230 V

Observe the following notes:

• All work on the electricity supply for the blind has to be carried out by a qualified or competent person.
• The device shall be installed in accordance with national wiring regulations and any other regulations in force, specific to the location of the installation, e. g. marine application.
• Observe the cross section for cables:
  • Motor cable: 4 core 0.5 mm2 (max. tail length for marine applications), 800 mm, due to cable not being a LSF (Low Smoke and Fume) variant
  • Switch cable: 4 core min. 1.5 mm2
  • Infrastructure cable: Size is to be determined by a qualified electrician
• A ground connection to the housing of the switch is required to satisfy safety and requirements of the Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE).

Notes on connecting to AP remote control

Refer to the AP remote control manual for further instructions.

Operation

CAUTION! Risk of injury
Only for boats and yachts: If the blind is in front of an open window, then the blind should be stowed when driving at more than 10 knots or in a sea state of more than moderate, as this can cause damage to the blind. Parts that come loose may injure persons in the vicinity.

Operating the powered version

NOTE
The motors have thermal cut-out devices built-in in order to prevent the motors overheating for safety reasons. Prolonged, repeated use or overloading the blind could trigger the cut-out. If this happens allow the motor to cool for a few minutes.

Observe the following notes:

• Each blind can be stopped in any position.
• When operating the blind with an automation system, operation depends on the programming of the controls.
• The blind is set up in the factory to automatically stop:
  • When the blind is fully deployed
  • When the blind is fully stowed
• The veins will only open when fully deployed.

Operating the chain version

Deploying the blind

• Pull the chain to deploy the blind.

Stowing the blind

• Pull the chain to stow the blind.

Cleaning and maintenance

WARNING! Risk of injury
Powered blinds: Take appropriate organizational measures for preventing operation of the blind when maintenance, such as window or wall cleaning, is being carried out in the vicinity, for blinds, which can be operated from a position without the blind in view.

NOTICE! Risk of damage

• Do not grease, oil or lubricate the blind. Lubricants will damage the fabric.
• Be careful not to crease the fabric when using the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner.
• Rubbing can damage the fabrics.
• Spot-cleaning may result in cleaner areas than the surrounding.
• Do not soak the blinds.
• The manufacturer recommends testing any cleaning agents on a hidden area of the blind first.

NOTE Cleaning by professional cleaning personnel
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for improper cleaning methods or agents used by professional cleaning personnel. In this case, the responsibility lies with the cleaning company.

Removing dust

• Dust the blind regularly with a dust rag, dust glove. Blow excess dust off of your fabric using a can of compressed air or a hair dryer on a cool setting.
• Fully deploy the blind to clean the fabric.
• Fully stow the blind to clean around side tracks or guide wires.

Spot cleaning

• Spot-clean with a soft white cloth, moistened with warm water. Add a mild detergent if needed (non-abrasive and with no additives).
• Blot gently to avoid creasing or damaging the fabric. Always leave the blind deployed to dry thoroughly.

Cleaning windows

➤ Always ensure the blinds are fully stowed before cleaning windows. This will prevent spoiling the blind fabric by splatter or sprays of water or detergent.

Troubleshooting

• Refer to manual of your control device (e.g. AP remote control).

Different blinds running at different speeds|

• Refer to manual of your control device (e.g., AP remote control).
• Check the power supply to the blind.

Blind does not work|

• Check the power supply to the blind.
