The STOBAG CAMABOX is a crank-operated full cassette folding arm awning system, designed for sun control. This system offers a robust and integrated solution for shading outdoor spaces, combining functionality with a sleek, enclosed design when retracted.
Function Description:
The CAMABOX awning operates via a crank mechanism, allowing for manual extension and retraction of the fabric and folding arms. When fully retracted, the fabric, folding arms, and all internal components are completely enclosed within a protective cassette, the "CASABOX BOX" (BX203). This full cassette design shields the awning components from weather elements, dirt, and debris, significantly extending the lifespan of the fabric and mechanical parts. The folding arms (BX230 L and BX230 R) provide the necessary tension to keep the fabric taut when extended. The system includes a roller tube (RS13/.) around which the awning fabric is wound, and a band brush (S510/.) for cleaning the fabric as it retracts into the cassette. The front bar, available in both rounded (BX204) and square (BX206) profiles, provides the leading edge of the awning and houses the front bar caps (BX220/1, BX220/2 for rounded; BX222/1, BX222/2 for square). The awning is mounted using CASABOX brackets (S721/1-1, S721/2-1) which secure the cassette to the mounting surface. End caps (BX205/1, BX205/2) and end cap covers (BX207/1, BX207/2) provide a finished look to the cassette. The crank set (BX200) and adaptor set (BX202) facilitate the manual operation, connecting to a 7.8:1 gear (S800/1-70, S800/1-78) for smooth and controlled movement. Rotary flange caps (BX209) are also part of the assembly.
The system is designed for wall or ceiling mounting, with specific bracket configurations for each. The installation process involves securing the brackets, attaching the cassette, and then installing the fabric and front bar. Adjustments can be made to the pitch of the awning, typically within a range of 4° to 35°, to optimize sun protection. For motorized versions (BX4000), the system can be operated via remote controls (e.g., Somfy io homecontrol or Somfy io sowify), allowing for convenient extension and retraction. Motorized versions also include features like end-stop adjustments for precise positioning.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Gear Ratio: 7.8:1 (S800/1-70, S800/1-78) for manual operation.
- Cassette Dimensions (BX203): The cassette provides full enclosure for the awning components. Specific dimensions are not explicitly listed but are implied by the overall system size.
- Front Bar Profiles: Available in rounded (BX204) and square (BX206) designs.
- Mounting: Wall or ceiling mounting using CASABOX brackets (S721/1-1, S721/2-1).
- Pitch Adjustment: Typically adjustable from 4° to 35° for optimal shading.
- Roller Tube Diameter: Ø17 mm for the roller tube (RS13/.) where the fabric is wound.
- Bracket Dimensions: Various bracket dimensions are provided in the diagrams, including lengths of 7-7/8", 4-3/4", 8-3/8", and depths of 3-1/2", 6-1/2". The mounting holes are often Ø12 mm.
- Minimum/Maximum Clearance: For installation, minimum clearances are specified, such as 1-5/8" and maximums of 6-1/2" for certain bracket configurations.
- Motorized Options (BX4000): Compatible with Somfy io homecontrol and Somfy io sowify remote controls.
- Safety Standard: Conforms to EN 13561:2004+A1:2008.
- Weight Capacity: The system is designed to support the weight of the awning fabric and arms, with specific load ratings implied by the structural components.
Usage Features:
- Full Cassette Protection: The primary usage feature is the complete enclosure of the awning when retracted, protecting the fabric and mechanics from environmental damage, thus prolonging the product's life and maintaining its aesthetic appeal.
- Manual Operation: The crank-operated system offers reliable and straightforward manual control, ideal for users who prefer a non-motorized solution or in locations without easy access to power.
- Versatile Mounting: Can be installed on various surfaces (wall or ceiling) to suit different architectural requirements and user preferences.
- Adjustable Pitch: Allows users to adjust the angle of the awning to effectively block sun at different times of the day or year, maximizing comfort and energy efficiency.
- Aesthetic Integration: The sleek design of the cassette and choice of front bar profiles allow the awning to blend seamlessly with modern building aesthetics.
- Optional Motorization: For enhanced convenience, the system can be equipped with a motor and remote control, enabling effortless operation at the touch of a button.
- Durability: Constructed with robust materials and a protective cassette, the CAMABOX is designed for long-term outdoor use.
Maintenance Features:
- Self-Cleaning Band Brush (S510/.): As the fabric retracts into the cassette, the integrated band brush helps to remove loose dirt and debris, contributing to fabric longevity and cleanliness.
- Enclosed System: The full cassette design inherently reduces the need for frequent cleaning of the fabric and internal components, as they are shielded from rain, dust, and UV radiation when not in use.
- Specialized Installation: The manual emphasizes that "INSTALLATION IS ONLY TO BE CARRIED OUT BY TRAINED SPECIALISTS." This ensures correct setup, which is crucial for the awning's long-term performance and minimizes the need for early repairs due to improper installation.
- Operating Manual Guidelines: Users are advised to follow "THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IN THE OPERATING MANUAL" for proper use and care, which typically includes guidelines for cleaning the fabric, inspecting components, and addressing minor issues.
- Component Replacement: Individual components, such as the gear, front bar caps, and end caps, are identifiable by part numbers (e.g., BX200, BX202, BX207/1), suggesting that replacement parts are available for repair and maintenance, extending the overall service life of the awning.
- Regular Inspection: While not explicitly detailed in the provided diagrams, typical awning maintenance would involve periodic inspection of the fabric for wear, the arms for smooth operation, and the mounting brackets for security. The robust design of the CAMABOX aims to minimize the frequency of such inspections compared to open-roll awnings.
