SAFETY
Take the necessary and required safety precautions, such as safety nets and
lifelines when installing from the outside, safety goggles, gloves, hard hat,
etc.
Do not step on the glass.
Falling from height
- When using ladders to go on the roof:
- Ladder in good condition?
- Set up correctly at an angle of 75°?
- Secured below and on top against moving?
- Don’t take heavy material with you on the ladder (3-point contact rule)! If possible, use a crane to lift the material.
- Do not lift material over the roof edge; use a crane to put the material on the roof.
- Roof zone: make sure the part of the roof where the skylight/barrel vault will be installed is safe enough, e.g. secure the edge (support system in the roof gutter that supports against the outer wall of the building, with suitable A B C category depending on the roof pitch) or use a scaffold so no one can fall off the roof. If the roof is not safe enough, always use a harness with lifeline (adapted to the fall height), attached to a suitable attachment point.
- Make sure the roof is stable and does not have dangerous openings or insufficient secure parts (e.g. corrugated sheets, …). Take the necessary measures if this is not the case: strengthen, use suitable safety nets below the danger zones, …
- Before making the roof opening for the skylight/barrel vault: make sure there are safety nets conform to the current legislation. The nets must be attached firmly and sufficiently to the building.
- When using an aerial work platform: always wear and secure your harness (mandatory)! Leaving the cage is forbidden.
- Never walk backwards on a roof, always walk forwards.
- Make sure there’s enough light in the working zone.
Low-hanging obstacles and falling loads
- Forbidden to walk under or within a radius of 1 m of a hanging or lifted load.
- Demarcate the danger zone below the skylight/barrel vault, in the building as well as on the outside near the outer walls (in case material slides off the roof). If the zone is demarcated, people cannot be hit by any falling loads. It’s prohibited to enter these danger zones during construction.
Crushing hazard
- All working tools are in good condition, provided with a valid CE label and all necessary safety regulations. These cannot be removed.
- People who use these working tools are educated for this purpose. Protections are always present on all working tools. They are in good condition and need to be set correctly.
Tripping/falling
- Safety is key and it begins with order and tidiness. Clean everything immediately, leave nothing lying around.
- Trash needs to be sorted.
- Be cautious with electric cables (danger of tripping/falling). Never walk backwards!
- Make sure there’s enough light in the working zone.
Sharp objects
- Make sure your fingers/hands are not pinched and watch out for cuts while handling skylights or barrel vaults.
- Be careful where you put your hands during the installation.
- Wearing cut-resistant gloves is mandatory.
Ergonomics
- Always lift loads correctly: bend your knees, move your feet instead of forcing your spine, lift as close to your body as possible.
- Parts of more than 25 kg must be lifted with at least 2 persons.
Personal protective equipment
-
Work clothes, safety shoes and helmet are mandatory for everyone.
-
Lifeline and harness are mandatory if the edge is not secured enough or if there are no safety nets below the roof opening. They are also necessary when using an aerial working platform.
-
Use gloves when handling skylight or barrel vault parts.
-
Safety glasses and hearing protection are mandatory when using saws / grinders.
Always perform a Last Minute Risk Analysis!
If in doubt: STOP! Do not take unnecessary risks. Ask your supervisor if
needed.
We accept no liability for damage to the cloth due to water droplets, mold, insect droppings or insects in the screen.
OVERVIEW PARTS
NECESSARY TOOLS
DIMENSIONS AND CURB
In general
The dimensions of the electric screen depend on the daylight size of the curb.
The electric screen is to be installed in the daylight size, at the top of the
curb.
Curb requirements
It is important that the curb and its daylight size are perpendicular and have
no deformations.
INTERIOR FINISH
During installation and any further plasterboard finishing at the ceiling and curb, the accessibility and possible dismantling of the electric screen must be taken into account. This is to ensure good service afterwards. Disassembly via the top or outside of the skylight/window is not possible.
Finish
Provide the necessary details for any further finish the inside of the curb.
The standard finish is done with plasterboard up to the roof opening, and up
to the provided lining groove at the bottom of the curb if applicable.
If a higher finish with plasterboard is desired, a distance of at least 20 mm
must be left between the top side of the plasterboard and the bottom of the
electric screen. The customer must always remove the plasterboard if service
is needed and/or if the electric screen must be removed.
ORIENTATION
- The electric screen is always placed from the inside of the curb or skylight/window.
- The solar panel is attached to the outside of the iWindow’s PVC frame.
- The solar panel will be on the southernmost side.
- The angle of the screen with the buttons is always the same as the angle where the solar panel is located.
- This way, you will end up in one of the following 6 correct situations.
Avoid shadows
Solar panel must have at least 2 hours of direct sunlight per day.
INSTALLATION OF SOLAR PANEL
- Remove everything from the packaging.
- Do not use a utility knife to prevent any damage.
- Preparation of the solar panel
- Take the solar panel and place it with the cable side up.
- Take the brackets and slide them over the edge of the solar panel profile.
- Make sure the brackets are positioned as shown in the image below (high edge of the brackets towards the cable).
- Take the rivet and insert it into the corresponding holes of the solar panel and brackets. Press this in so that the bracket is secured.
Installation on the roof
-
Once the angle at which the solar panel will be placed has been determined, the following steps can be taken:
-
Drill a hole through the PVC frame WITH the drill gauge.
-
Place the centre of the drilling gauge 100 mm from the corner.
-
Drill a hole through the curb with Ø 8.5 mm.
Do not force anything, let the drill follow the chambers of the PVC. Make sure the drill bit length is 95 mm. -
Take the cable and insert the small connector through the drilled hole from the outside to the inside.
-
Take a cable cover and apply a layer of silicone to the indentations at the back.
-
Place the cable cover with silicone over the hole where the cable comes out.
-
Screw this in place with the Ø 5.3 x 45 mm HiLo screws. Make sure the screws do not turn further.
-
Place the other cable cover at a distance of 328 mm.
Installation of solar panel
-
Clip the bracket over the protruding pin of the cable cover and secure with the M6 bolt with the split lock washer. Choose the optimal opening so that the solar panel is positioned approximately at an angle of 45° to the horizontal.
-
Attach the solar panel connector with the cable coming from the frame.
-
Attach the clicked connectors to the bottom of the solar panel with fasteners.
Installation of the mounting clips
