FAQ

Batteries, PV panel


No. For design reasons, each battery has a slightly different connection design to the controller.

The awning blind can complete approximately 250-300 cycles without recharging when the battery is 100% charged.

Approximately 3-5 years. It is impossible to determine a specific value, as it depends on how the roller shutter or awning blind is used, how much sunlight it is exposed to, how harsh the winter is, etc.


If the battery is not recharged because the installation location receives little sunlight, its capacity will probably decrease more quickly, but this does not necessarily mean that it will not work properly.


Wait until it has recharged, i.e. until sunny days.

Batteries can be purchased from the FAKRO Service. When ordering, please specify the product type.

We recommend this operation to be performed by the Service Department or Technical Advisor.

The awning’s fabric is not resistant to hail loads.

Awning blinds and roller shutters are designed to provide a high level of durability and weather resistance for everyday use. Performance classifications may vary by product type, model and size. Please refer to the relevant product documentation for details.
  • awning blinds (as per PN EN 13561:2004 + A1:2008) – technical class 3 (four classes possible: from 0 to 3)
  • roller shutters (as per PN EN 13659:2004 + A1:2008) – technical class 6 (seven classes possible: from 0 to 6)

UV colour resistance: according to ISO 105-B02, the fabric achieved a colour fastness rating of 7/8 under the test conditions. This rating indicates a high level of resistance to colour fading caused by UV exposure.

The battery will work properly. In the absence of sun for a long time and possible snow cover of the panel, there may be power outages, so the battery may also discharge quickly. You should then wait until it is recharged, namely until sunny days, and remove snow if there is any.

Awning fabrics


Notes on the maintenance of awning fabrics:

  • remove dust with a vacuum cleaner or compressed air
  • do not scrub with any brushes and do not use abrasive objects
  • do not use solvents
  • wash with soft sponges and soapy water, rinse with clean water
  • leave the awning blind unrolled until the fabric is dry

Performance may gradually decrease over time. The rate of change can vary depending on factors such as installation, maintenance, environmental conditions and usage.

Under comparable conditions, awning blinds with 1% and 10% fabric openness may provide similar levels of solar protection. The temperature difference observed indoors can vary depending on factors such as glazing size, window orientation and solar exposure. Fabric colour may also influence solar shading performance, with darker fabrics generally providing a higher degree of shading than lighter colours.

Operation, control


Awning blinds can be used all year round. Even in winter, there are sunny days with very harsh sunlight that is very distracting while working, especially with a computer.

This defeats the purpose of introducing automatic control.
The roller shutter provides complete blackout and it is difficult to talk about improving work comfort, as is the case with the AMZ awning blind.
Similar functionality cannot be enabled because the hardware is not prepared for it.
At the moment it is possible to use another awning blind to close the roller shutter/s if someone wishes to do so.


(is this similar to the operation of our actuators connected to the ZRD, which can control other devices automatically after performing the "Assign a route" function?)
Yes, through the standard device pairing procedure.

The ZWP10 and ZWG remote controls have this feature.
In the ZWPSA4 and ZWPS8, this possibility was blocked due to the functionality of the battery status reports.
It is not possible to present responses from multiple devices at the same time.
The group control is available on channel no. 4, where reports are not sent.


There is no such direct possibility today.
However, the battery can be removed from, for example, a roller shutter and connected to the actuator instead of the power supply unit. However, there is no connection to the products, so without removing the batteries there is no such possibility.
