GEIGER Electric Motor SOLIDline Easy-ZIP


ZIP screens are becoming increasingly popular. The textile sun protection for outdoor spaces scores with air and light transmission, high wind resistance and a tremendous design flexibility. A weak point remained that GEIGER managed to eliminate by developing the intelligent SOLIDline motor Easy-ZIP - thus significantly improving safety and comfort.

Especially in the case of ZIP screens, obstacles in the running area can seriously damage the sun protection device if the motor does not stop in time.With the new GEIGER motor SOLIDline Easy-ZIP such scenarios are a thing of the past. Thanks to the obstacle detection system in the down direction, the motor stops immediately in order to prevent any accident. Then the SOLIDline Easy-ZIP motor runs shortly in the UP direction and moves DOWN again. Any number of programmable additional tests in the DOWN direction can be made, for the case that, for example, the motor only stopped because of a strong gust of wind. Both end positions can be set either via free positioning or via torque switch-off.

A cloth protection function is integrated in the upper torque switch-off. The GEIGER radio-controlled version –  SOLIDline EasyWireless-ZIP – is also available.
