4. Setup and Installation
The Avosdim roller screen is designed to be cut to size and adjusted to fit your window opening. Follow these steps carefully:
4.1. Measuring Your Opening
Measure the exact width and height of the window opening where the screen will be installed. Ensure measurements are taken at multiple points to account for any inconsistencies.
4.2. Cutting to Size
Carefully mark the required length on the top cassette, side rails, and bottom bar. When cutting, it is highly recommended to use an angle grinder with a thin cutting disc for precise and clean cuts, especially for the internal mesh roll. A hacksaw is not recommended as it can be difficult and may damage the internal components.
4.3. Assembly
Assemble the top cassette, side rails, and bottom bar according to the provided instructions. Ensure the mesh is properly aligned within the side rails. The dimensions of the top cassette are approximately 42mm deep by 50mm high, with an additional 24mm for the mounting bracket. The side rails are approximately 20mm wide by 33mm high.
4.4. Mounting
Mount the assembled roller screen unit into your window opening using the provided mounting hardware. Ensure it is level and securely fastened. The design allows for straightforward installation, providing a neat and clean result.
5. Operating Instructions
The Avosdim roller screen features a convenient automatic return system for easy operation:
- To Lower the Screen: Gently pull down on the bottom bar using the integrated handles or the pull cord. The screen will extend smoothly until it reaches the desired position or fully extends.
- To Secure the Screen: Once lowered, ensure the bottom bar is securely engaged with the stop blocks or side rail mechanism to prevent it from retracting.
- To Retract the Screen: Lightly pull down on the bottom bar again, then release it slowly. The powerful spring mechanism will automatically retract the screen into the top cassette. Guide the screen gently to prevent it from snapping back too quickly.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help keep your roller screen in excellent condition:
- Cleaning the Mesh: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soapy water to gently clean the fiberglass mesh. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the fabric.
- Cleaning the Frame: Wipe down the aluminum frame and side rails with a damp cloth.
- Check for Obstructions: Periodically check the side rails and the cassette for any debris or insects that might hinder smooth operation.
- Lubrication: The automatic return mechanism is designed for maintenance-free operation. Do not attempt to lubricate internal components unless specifically instructed by Avosdim support.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your roller screen, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Screen does not retract smoothly or gets stuck. | Debris in side rails; mesh misalignment; spring mechanism issue. | Clean side rails. Check mesh alignment. If issue persists, contact support. |
| Difficulty cutting the components to size. | Using an inappropriate tool (e.g., hacksaw for mesh). | Use an angle grinder with a thin cutting disc for clean cuts, especially for the mesh roll. |
| Screen does not stay down. | Bottom bar not engaging with stop blocks or side rail mechanism. | Ensure the bottom bar is fully lowered and properly engaged. Adjust stop blocks if necessary. |
| Visible gaps allowing insects to enter. | Improper installation; damaged brush seals. | Re-check installation for proper sealing. Inspect brush seals for damage and replace if needed. |
