Operation With Electric Drive Or Control System - Stobag ALFRESCO P4000 Instrucciones De Servicio

Operating instructions
• Moving parts of the sun protection system must not be touched when it is being ex-
tended or retracted.
• It is recommended that in strong winds over 49 km / h (ALFRESCO / PERGOLINO) or
61 km / h (RIVERA) the sun protection system is immediately retracted (see also para.
1.3, max. permissible wind load).
• To prevent damage, the sun protection system should not be operated if it snows,
because of the load, or is icy or frosty.
• No additional weights, such as hanging clothes or flower pots, should be placed on the
sun protection system.
• As far as possible, only retract the sun protection system when it is clean and dry. Try
to remove any leaves and the like before retracting. Damp or wet awning covers should
be fully extended to dry out as soon as possible. If this is not done, creases or other
visual damage may be caused to the awning which are not covered by the guarantee.
2.1

Operation with electric drive or control system

• We recommend to operate the sun protection systems with an electric drive, also avail-
able as an option, are controlled by a wind sensor or automatic sun-wind controller.
This will greatly reduce the risk of damage caused by wind and rain.
If the sun protection system is retracted by the wind sensor, on some models it may not
be possible to extend it again for 10 – 20 minutes during the wind blockage time.
• It should be remembered that strong gusts of wind may occur when a storm is brewing
and the wind sensor may not be able to react quickly enough.
• If the sun protection system does not have a sun or wind sensor, it must be retracted if
you leave the house for holidays, the weekend, shopping and at night.
• Awnings with electric drive and automatic control system must be set to manual opera-
tion during the winter months. Iced-up awnings should only be extended again when
the ice has melted.
• The electric drive is fitted with a thermal protection switch and is not designed for
permanent operation. If the drive overheats, because of frequent extensions and retrac-
tions, it will switch off automatically, no matter which position the awning is in. The
electric drive will operate again after a cooling-off period of 10 – 45 minutes, depending
on such factors as the outside temperature, power output and roller positioning.
• Controls must not be used if the awning is fitted with a stop lock (manual stop). In in-
creasing winds, protection of the system via a closed stop lock is not guaranteed. When
the stop lock is on the system may be damaged by a command from the controls.
