F: 450-771-5779 secco@seccointernational.com NOTICE TO PROJECT CONTRACTOR: Please Refer Yourself To The Secco Dealer For Any Questions On Installation Plans And Specifications.
THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENT CONTAINS ALL THE INFORMATION FOR: THE DRIVE MECHANISMS: 1. PULLEY BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION OF YOUR NEW SECCO VENTILATION SYSTEM, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU: 1. CHECK ALL THE HARDWARE DELIVERED TO MAKE SURE THEY COMPLETELY MATCH YOUR DELIVERY SLIP. 2. TAKE MEASUREMENTS OF THE VENTILATION HOLE AND COMPARE IT TO THE DIMENSIONS OF THE PANELS SUPPLIED. Please remember that the Lexan (polycarbonate) sheet is an unbreakable material, which is very rigid. However, it is recommended that you handle with caution because the material is easily scratched. Secco International Inc. does not guarantee against scratches caused during equipment installation or delivery. THANKS FOR YOUR TRUST AND... HAVE A GOOD INSTALLATION!
PREPARING THE VENTILATION OPENING The installation of the required furring in the periphery of the openings will be executed by the general contractor. The upper furring, the one on the top, will need to be a minimum of 12" high x 2" thick. (12" x 1 ½" finished) (305mm x 38mm); The lateral furring and those at the bottom (lower) will be 2" x 3". (1½" x 2½" finished). (40x60); Be sure to extend the top furring 24" (600mm) to secure the corner pulleys or chain bracket at the extremity chosen for the driving mechanism. Example: A panel section of 24 ft x 4 ft. (7.32m x 1.22m), the finished interior dimension of the opening will be 23-8" x 44.5". (7.22m x 1.13m), Before starting the installation, measure and check the dimensions of the openings on site.
INSTALLATION OF THE BIRD SCREEN (OPTIONAL) The installation of the bird screen is optional and selected by the client; It is very important to stretch the screen material before attaching to the wall (see illustration); Nail the screening to the structure with 1 1/4" (31mm) nails or clamps every 6" (150mm).
INSTALLATION OF LIFTING SYSTEM (PULLEY SYSTEM) EXTERIOR CORNER PULLEY (PC-105) Determine the location of the exterior corner pulley (PC-105) of the lifting system. It needs to be at the far left or right of the ventilation wall. Then, drill a hole to run the master cable.

It is not required when the actuator is installed perpendicular to the opening (90deg).

AUTOMATIC ACTUATOR For installing the actuator, it is imperative to determine the height of the master cable and calculate what will be the positioning of the lifting axis. If we raise the canvas with a 1:1 ratio, the center of our actuator (height) will be our lifting axis. If we raise the canvas with a 1:2 ratio, the center of lift will be the top of the master pulley (4KITPOUMAI5) *** Always install the master cable perfectly horizontally to avoid breaking the pulleys *** DETAILS OF ASSEMBLY HARDWARE A B C D E F G H 1- ACTUATOR 4000lbs (1800kg) MODEL 6- ZINC LAG SCREW 3/8 x 2 1/2 (9.52mm x 63.5mm) 1- MASTER PULLEY KIT 5 (127mm) PRE-ASSEMBLED FLEXIBLE MASTER CABLE 3/16 (4.76mm) 7X19 SS304 1- PLATE WITH RING TO DOUBLE ACTUATOR RACE 6- ZINC LAG SCREW 5/16 X 3 (8mm X 76mm) 1- DOUBLE PULLEY KIT 5 (127mm) 8- ZINC LAG SCREW 1/4 X 1-1/2 (6mm x 38mm)

INSTALLATION OF BRACKETS A) Position and install the pulleys using 5 16"x 2" (8x50mm) wood screws. B) You must respect the opening measurements: align the first bracket at 3/8" (10mm) from the beginning of the opening. C) Position and align the bottom brackets and secure with pulleys and set them using 3/8" diameter x 2 3/4" long (9.5 x 70mm) (Type "W-Jet", flat washer and nut) mechanical anchors. You can use an aluminum guide pipe and your level to align yourself. Note: Depending on the wall type, it is possible that wood or concrete screws will be required instead of mechanical anchors to set the lower brackets. You need to pay special attention if the panels are cut and are of non-standard dimensions.

INSTALLATION OF WEATHERSTRIPPING Note that the elongated tongue is positioned upward to the longitudinal weather-stripping and outside the opening for the vertical weather-stripping. (See details below). Install weather-stripping on the longitudinal and vertical wooden frames of the openings using PAN TEK SS 8-18 X 1 (# 8 x 25mm) SCREWS. Also install two screws on each extremity of the tongue. Cut the weather-stripping at an angle as shown below; CAUTION THE INTERIOR MEASUREMENT BETWEEN THE VERTICAL WEATHERSTRIPPING MUST BE SIMILAR TO THE ONE IN STEP NO 1. Ex: 23-8 "(7.22m).

PREPARATION OF PANELS AND ASSEMBLY Temporarily remove the panels on the bottom brackets. Handle with care. NOTES: THE PULLEYS WILL BE INSTALLED ONCE THE PANELS HAVE BEEN ASSEMBLED ON THE GUIDE PIPES (alignment facilitated by the grommets).
GUIDE PIPE INSTALLATION 1. Screw the guide pipe lightly and temporarily to the "U" bracket using 1/4"-20 x 1 1/2" long (# 20 6mm x 38mm) bolts, fender washers and nylon nuts. 2. Insert trough the bottom two aluminum slides. Skip the first upper guide (top) and then the second lower guide (bottom) which 1" (25mm) longer. Do not bolt the aluminum slides to the LEXAN panels during this step. 3. Temporarily mount the guide pipe to the bottom bracket with a 1/4 "-20 x 1 1/2" long (# 20 6mm x 38mm) bolt, flat washer on each side and a Nylon LOCKNUT. 4. Repeat the operations The adjustment and final tightening of the guide pipe should be done later. Note that the lower guide is slightly longer (1" (25mm)) than the upper guide (top).
ASSEMBLING THE PANELS a) Manually encase the first panels using the hardware below. b) IMPORTANT: Insert the PVC moulding between the panels (H section). For the first and last panel, use the C section. c) The top and bottom aluminum slides for the guide pipes will be at the junction between two intermediate panels (center). NOTE: (*) If you follow your opening measurements, position the panels immediately at 2 from the opening. The use of a level is strongly recommended. Always install the bottom slide when the panel is in the closed position.

INSTALLATION OF LIFTING PULLEYS Once the panels are well inline with the opening and assembled on the bottom brackets: o Install and align the pulleys using the location of the panels lifting grommets. Carefully note the orientation of the drive to properly position the pulley. o Screw the pulleys with 4 - wood screws, 5/16" x 2". Refer to step 4 for the height of the pulley relative to the opening.
DETAILS ON THE HARDWARE POSITION *Note that the first and last pulleys of the series are 5.5" from the opening. The other pulleys will be at 5".

INSTALLATION OF LIFTING CABLES Once the pulleys are installed and the panels assembled: o The 3/16" (4.76mm) flexible master cable diameter should be attached to the lifting system, whether it is a manual winch or automatic actuator; o The flexible cable above must pass through the corner pulleys (PC-105) and/or (PA-105) and be attached to the outside with the rigid master cable. Carefully measure the lengths of cable required so that the solid cable (SS 1/19) does not wrap around the corner pulleys. This would cause it to break. It is the flexible cable (SS 7/19) that must be used for the corner pulleys. o Unroll the master rigid cable and fit it over the lifting pulleys; (Hint: To facilitate the adjustment, temporarily firmly attach the master rigid cable at the end of the opening and tighten the cable with either the manual winch or the actuator. Some people use the last grommet and attach a cable with a cable clamp. o Insert the lifting cable in the lifting grommet. Tie firmly using one cable clamp by creating a slight manual tension without lifting the panel. o Slip the lifting cable in the pulley and firmly attach the master cable beginning with the end opposite the lifting system. Use 2 cable clamps for the master line. o The second lifting cable and the pulley return cable are attached with the same cable clamp on the master line. Lift the wall with the winch or transmission once before proceeding to the next step. NOTE (A) Carefully adjust the lifting grommet during the installation to hide the threads. The grommet must be at its lowest level.
FINAL ADJUSTMENT o Slowly lift all ventilation panels to full height ("closed" mode) using the winch or actuator. Finish the adjustments until you obtain a compression of the weather-stripping of around 1" (25mm). (See section view below). o Accurately position the guide pipes with an incline of ± 2" (50mm) and complete tightening. o Recheck all bolts on all panels and accessories.
