5.2) Panel Box Mounting: To securely fasten the panel box to the mounting surface remove the three #8 3/8" (10mm) long
screws holding each side’s retainer plate. Slide the retainer plate inwards along the shaft, out of the way. Pre-drill at least
one hole in the top back corner of each end plate. Make sure to align with a matching hole in the mounting surface if
necessary, such as a masonry anchor in the case of a concrete wall. Secure each end plate with at least one 2" - 3" (50 -
75mm) long screw. For units over 50 lbs (22kg) Rollshutter curtain weight, security applications, or high wind
installations, use two fasteners per end plate as shown. Do not over-tighten the screws to avoid any cracking of the die
cast end plates. Should a crack be discovered, a replacement end plate must be installed. Secure the panel box top with
2" - 3" (50 - 75mm) long screws spaced 16" - 20" (40 - 50cm) along the top corner. To avoid the possibility of tearing
through the sheet aluminum, each screw hole should be reinforced with a large flat washer.
Section 6: Installing the Operator
6.1a) Tape Operator (all types): If the unit's operator runs through a wall, insert the tape tube into the wall and cut to
length. Caulk the upper and lower chambers with silicone to prevent drafts, leaving only the centre slit exposed.
Mount the tape operator directly underneath the control hole at a comfortable height level such as 40" (1.00m) above
ground. If installing the box onto drywall, ensure to use anchors where necessary. If the Rollshutter unit has a pull tape
operator use two screws. Pull several feet of tape out of the box. Insert a flat screwdriver into the box’s exit slit or tie a
slip knot to prevent the spring from reeling the tape back in. In this precise order slip the following items over the tape.
First the plastic cover, then the roller guide and finally the mounting plate, which is optional. Feed the tape through the
tape tube, then attach the roller guide with two 2" - 3" (50 - 75mm) long screws to the wall so that the tape can enter
the hole without rubbing. There are two sizes of pull tape operators. Generally, the taller or heavier units use the large
pull tape operator. If your order contains units with large and small tape operators and you are unsure which operator
belongs to which unit, call the manufacturer. Feed the tape through the roller guide into the Rollshutter unit's panel box.
If the unit's operator runs through a wall, feed the tape through the roller guide and tube into the panel box. Double up
on the end of the tape and push a 3/8" (10mm) long screw through both layers. Attach the screw to the small pre-drilled
hole inside the tape wheel. Ignore the large pre-drilled hole in the tape wheel.
