The Windhager PLUS Roller Blind Door is a versatile insect screen solution designed for easy installation within a door reveal. This manual outlines the assembly process, from initial measurements to final adjustments, ensuring a secure and functional installation.
Function Description:
The PLUS Roller Blind Door serves as an effective insect screen for door openings. It features a roller blind mechanism that allows the screen to be retracted and extended as needed. The system is designed for installation within the door reveal, providing a discreet and integrated appearance. The roller blind is preloaded, and its tension can be adjusted to ensure smooth operation. The guide rails are designed to lock into place when the blind is closed, providing a secure seal against insects, and can be easily unlocked by pressing them out.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Reveal Depth Requirement: For this assembly option, a minimum reveal depth of 82 mm is required for the installation of the insect screen blind.
- Measurement Units: All measurements, including width (B) and height (H) of the reveal, must be taken in millimeters (mm). (1 cm = 10 mm).
- Cartridge Shortening: The roller blind cartridge (1) needs to be shortened by 13 mm from the measured height (H) of the reveal. For example, if H = 2000 mm, the cartridge length will be 1987 mm.
- Guide Rail Shortening: Both guide rails (2) need to be shortened by 82 mm from the measured width (B) of the reveal. For example, if B = 1400 mm, the guide rail length will be 1318 mm.
- Tension Adjustment: The roller blind is preloaded, and its tension can be adjusted. The maximum number of rotations for tension adjustment is 40.
- Components: The system includes a roller blind cartridge (1), guide rails (2), screws (3, 16), shaft bearing (4), end cap (5), threaded pins (8), hexagonal sockets (9a, 9b), grip locks (10a, 10b), clamp parts (12a, 12b, 14a, 14b), end caps (13a, 13b), and springs (15).
Usage Features:
- Easy Operation: The roller blind can be easily extended to close the door opening and retracted to open it.
- Locking Mechanism: When closed, the guide rails snap into side locking elements, ensuring the screen remains securely in place and provides an effective barrier against insects.
- Quick Release: To open the blind, the guide rails are simply pressed out to unlock them from the side locking elements.
- Adjustable Tension: The preloaded roller blind allows for tension adjustment, which can be customized to ensure optimal performance and ease of use. This feature helps maintain smooth retraction and extension of the screen over time.
- Integrated Design: Designed for installation within the door reveal, the roller blind offers a clean and unobtrusive appearance, blending seamlessly with the door frame.
Maintenance Features:
- Deburring: After cutting the cartridge and guide rails, it is important to deburr the intersections with a file to ensure smooth edges and prevent damage during assembly and operation. This step also contributes to the longevity of the components.
- Secure Fastening: Components are secured using screws and hexagonal sockets, ensuring a robust and stable installation. Regular checks of these fastenings can help maintain the integrity of the system.
- Tension Adjustment: The ability to adjust the blind's tension is a key maintenance feature. If the blind starts to operate sluggishly or too quickly, the tension can be recalibrated using the hexagonal socket, extending the functional life of the product.
- Component Replacement: The modular design, with clearly identifiable parts like end caps, clamp parts, and grip locks, suggests that individual components could potentially be replaced if damaged, although specific replacement instructions are not detailed in this excerpt.
- Cleaning: While not explicitly mentioned, roller blinds typically require periodic cleaning of the screen material and guide rails to prevent dust and debris buildup, which can affect smooth operation.
