FREQUENTLY ASKED
Do the roof blades have to
stay open or closed during
heavy winds?
Extensive tests in the wind tunnel have
shown that the best position for alumi-
nium roof blades is closed in the case of
wind speeds above 50 km/h. The Algar-
ve can handle wind speeds of 120 km/h
(>11 bft) with blades in closed position.
See also page 113 Wind.
Can the roof blades be
operated during frost?
Yes, but the best thing to do is to not
completely close the blades. If they
freeze together, damage can occur
when controlling the roof.
To avoid this, you can install an op-
tional rain sensor. You can also ac-
tivate the snow and frost mode with
this. During frost, the blades will then
rotate about 10°. This activation is
done with a separate Situo Soliris
hand-held transmitter. You do not
have to purchase it yourself. Ask your
installer to carry out this activation.
QUESTIONS
What to do in case of heavy snowfall?
In case of heavy snowfall (> 50 cm)
it is best to place the roof blades in a
vertical position. This way, there is no
overload on the roof. In areas where
50 cm snowfall regularly occurs, you
also need to install an optional rain
sensor. In case of heavy snowfall, the
blades will automatically change into
the vertical snow position. The pro-
gramming of the snow position must
be done when programming the roof
control (must be done by the instal-
ler).
The roof may remain closed when
there is little snow. Please note that
the roof blades are not complete-
ly closed during frost. If they freeze
together, damage can occur when
controlling the roof. To avoid this, you
have to install an optional rain sensor.
You can also activate the frost mode
with this (must be done by the instal-
ler). During frost, the blades will then
rotate about 10°.
