Benefits of SOLASAFE® sunscreens include:
- Improved visibility and safety − optimal glare protection with up to a 93% reduction to ensure clear visibility and a safer working environment. True colour rendition so navigation marks and objects can be easily identified.
- Reduced eye strain − problems with glare and reflection on electronic charts, radar screens and control panels are eliminated.
- Create a more comfortable working environment and reduce air conditioning requirements − up to 87% of the sun’s heat is rejected so staff, operators and controllers are more alert.
- Protect exposed areas of the body − at least 97% of harmful UV light is filtered.
- Save fuel, save money and reduce CO2 emissions on board marine vessels- Less demand is placed on bridge air-conditioning systems which require additional fuel consumption to run so environmentally conscious fleet owners can benefit from fuel savings resulting in lower costs.
- Be Green – Up to 81% savings in power and a possible $1,300 USD cost saving per year can be made for larger vessels. Click here for more information.

AC OR DC ELECTRICAL OPERATION
Electric by remote control, group control and ⁄ or local individual control − ideal for blinds that are difficult to access. Low-voltage
(LOVO-24V D.C) is available for smaller sized roller blinds. High voltage (HIVO-230V A.C, 50Hz or 60Hz) is available over the full
range of roller blind sizes.
BATTERY OPERATION
The Radio controller is CE marked (European Conformity) and transmits on 433MHz.
The Radio controller complies with:
- 2006/95/EC Low Voltage Directive
- 89/336/EEC EMC Directive
- 1995/5/EC Radio and Telecommumications Terminal Equipment (R&TTE) Directive
NOTE: Please make sure that this frequency will not interfere with any other equipment before ordering.
CHOICE OF FILMS
Because of their highly reflective outer surfaces GOLD and SILVER are the most effective solar films. If a reflective appearance is not desired we recommend GREY film as the next best option.
