Flush-mounted VMU awning blinds

The Solar type awning blind can be controlled in one of three modes:

• Automatic (self-activating unrolling and rolling-up dependent on the level of insolation).
• Semi-automatic (self-activating unrolling, rolling-up via a remote control).
• Operation via a remote control (no remote control included). 

The awning blind comes in the following versions:

• VMU Z-Wave – powered by 15VDC mains supply and operated by means of a remote control or wall switch in the wireless Z-Wave system. It is compatible with FAKRO electric products equipped with the Z-Wave system. For example, the  FTP-V Electro Z-Wave window or ARF Z-Wave blackout blind. In special cases, the awning blind can be controlled by means of a service button. A 15VDC power supply unit is required to power the awning.
• VMU Z-Wave Solar* – powered by solar battery pack and operated by means of a remote control. It can be controlled in one of three modes:
  • automatic (self-activating unrolling and rolling up dependent on the level of insolation). In summer mode, on a sunny day, the awning blind provides protection against excessive sunlight. In colder months, it can be manually switched to winter mode. In this mode, in sunny weather, the awning blind automatically rolls up the fabric, allowing the inflow of warm sunlight that passively heats the room. At low levels of sunlight (from afternoon to morning or in cloudy weather), the fabric unrolls to protect the interior from heat loss,
  • semi-automatic (self-activating unrolling, rolling-up via a remote control),
  • operated via a remote control that must be purchased separately. The Solar awning blind is powered by 15VDC solar battery which is built into the cassette and recharged by the solar panel.
• VMU WiFi Tuya – operated by means of a smartphone app. The awning blind can be connected to 15V. Power supply unit is required.
• VMU Electro 230 – powered by mains supply and operated by means of a wall switch (it must be purchased separately). No power supply is required for the blind – the blind can be connected to 230V mains supply.

*The Solar type awning blinds should be fitted in places with the solar panel positioned to direct sun exposure. It is recommended to install awnings on south, east and west-facing roofs. Installation in the north side may result in battery discharge and the inability to operate the blind. To ensure correct operation of the automatic mode, the solar panel must be exposed to direct sunlight throughout the active operation mode.

* In awning blinds with a 089 fabric, where the width exceeds 2100 mm and height 1950 mm, the fabric consists of two parts and is joined in the middle of the awning (horizontal welded connection).

* In awning blinds with a fabric featuring 1% relative open area, where the width exceeds 2400 mm and height 2350 mm, the fabric consists of two parts and is joined in the middle of the awning (horizontal welded connection).

*For a 4% relative open area in the case of larger sizes, awning blinds are equipped with the fabric consisting of two parts joined in the middle (horizontal welded connection). For samples 710 – 716, for dimensions close to the maximum size, the fabric can consist of three parts.

In awning blinds with fabric featuring 0% relative open area, where the width exceeds 1700mm and the height exceeds 1600mm, the fabric consists of two parts and is joined together in the middle of the awning (horizontal welded connection).

The colors of the material samples may differ from the real ones.

As a result of temperature changes or after a long period of non-use, the fabric used in VMU awning blinds may slightly wave. Once unfolded, the fabric should return to its original state.

Awning blinds and roll-up awnings may only be used under conditions corresponding to the wind resistance class specified in the Declaration of Performance.

When installed on gazebos, pergolas, and other similar structures that are particularly exposed to wind, a weather automation system must be used to ensure that the awning blind is automatically retracted in the event of strong wind gusts.
Failure to comply with the above requirements may result in damage to or detachment of the awning blind and may pose a risk to people and property.

The manufacturer shall not be liable for any damage resulting from the use of the product contrary to its intended purpose, the user manual, or the operating parameters specified in the product documentation. Such damage may also result in the rejection of warranty claims.
