Frequently Asked Questions - FlyTec FT200 DOMETIC

How to install the FlyTec FT200 roller awning?

Installation must be carried out by a professional. Fix the awning to a wall or vehicle using the supplied brackets. Ensure the surface is flat and able to support the weight.

Is the FlyTec FT200 awning motorizable?

Yes, an optional motorization kit is available compatible with the FT200 model. It allows electric deployment and retraction.

How to maintain the awning fabric?

Clean the fabric with a soft brush and soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and let dry completely before folding. Avoid harsh cleaners.

Can I use the awning in windy weather?

Not recommended. The awning is designed for light winds. In case of strong wind, fully retract it to avoid damage. The integrated anti-wind system offers limited protection.

What are the exact dimensions of the deployed awning?

Dimensions vary depending on the chosen configuration. For the FT200 model, expect approximately 200 cm width and 250 cm projection. Check the exact technical sheet.

How to replace the awning fabric?

Replacement fabric is available from Dometic. To replace it, disassemble the retaining bars and slide the new fabric onto the roller tube. Follow the instructions in the manual.

Is the FlyTec FT200 awning compatible with all motorhomes?

Yes, it can be mounted on most caravans and motorhomes thanks to its universal brackets. However, check the available space and load capacity.

How to adjust the awning tilt?

Use the adjustable articulated arms: loosen the knobs, adjust the desired angle, then retighten. This optimizes shading.

Is the awning weather-resistant?

The fabric is UV-treated and water-repellent, but it is not designed to withstand prolonged rain or snow. Retract the awning in bad weather.

Where to find spare parts for the FT200?

Spare parts (fabric, crank, arms, brackets) are available from authorized Dometic dealers or on their official website.

4 Intended use

The Dometic FlyTec FT200 is a flyscreen for sliding doors on camper vans which can be slid or folded horizontally. For available versions see the table, page 14.

5 Installing the flyscreen

5.1 Notes on installation

• Before installing the flyscreen, check whether any vehicle components could be damaged by the installation of the flyscreen (such as cupboards).
• For safety reasons, note the location of existing wiring harnesses, wires and other components within the installation area, in particular those which are not visible, when installing the flyscreen (when drilling or screwing, etc.).

5.2 Preparing the vehicle

Measuring the opening (fig. 2, page 3)

Please observe the following instructions when measuring:

• The installation opening should not have been made smaller through added strips, coverings, fixtures, etc.
• The installation opening must have the minimum width of X and minimum height of Y:

FlyTec version (ref. no.) Minimum width X Minimum height Y

9104117297 and 9104117296 1298 mm 1765 mm

9104117387 and 9104117388 1128 mm 1492 mm

- Behind the rear sealing of the door (1), there needs to be a minimum of 40 mm space for the flyscreen to be installed.

- There needs to be a space with a width of A = 18 mm between the outer edge of the bodywork floor (4) and fitted cabinets (2) (e.g. kitchen).

• The skirting board (5) needs the following space:

• There needs to be a space with a width of A = 18 mm between the outer edge of the bodywork floor (4) and the edge of the interior fittings base (3).
• A space with a height of B = 3 mm and a depth of C = 15 mm needs to be available from the edge of the interior fittings base (3).

You may need to adapt fitted cabinets (2) and the interior fittings base (3).

- The flyscreen must be screwed directly to the sheet-metal bodywork at the top and not just on the panelling or the interior fittings. It is usually sufficient to screw it on to the base of the interior fittings.

▶ Measure the installation opening in your vehicle and check whether the dimensions of the flyscreen fit your vehicle.

Trimming the opening (depending on the vehicle)

▶ If necessary, remove add-on parts that interfere (such as bottom end strips or bodywork) in the installation opening.

To be able to install the skirting board (fig. 1 1, page 3) flush, you may need to trim the existing fixtures (such as floors or cabinets).

▶ Mark the following (fig. 2, page 3):

- Size A = 18 mm (width of the bottom part of the skirting board), measured from the edge of the sheet-metal bodywork - Size B = 3 mm (height of the skirting board).

If necessary, trim the existing fixtures with a suitable tool, such as an oscillating saw.

Smooth and clean the cut edges.

5.3 Pre-installing the rails

Cassette profile, skirting board and upper guide rail

The cassette profile, skirting board and upper guide rail must be assembled lying on the ground (fig. 3, page 4) before being placed in the vehicle.

Check whether the cover profile can be inserted between the C pillar and interior fittings. You may need to adapt the contour by trimming. Guide the lower slider of the handle strip along with the cassette profile into the skirting board. Pull the cassette and handle strip apart by a bit and then slide the cassette profile onto the nose on the skirting board. Secure the cassette profile with the screw (M5 x 30 mm) and M5 nut on the upper guide rail. Insert the cover for the C pillar into the cassette so that the drill holes are located one above the other and secure the two components with three blind rivets (4 x 8 mm with stainless steel mandrel) without riveting them (fig. 4, page 4). Secure the deflection screw M4 (fig. 5 1, page 5) to the skirting board. Fit the guide cables into the bottom and top deflection screw (fig. 5 2 and 3, page 5).

NOTICE! Risk of breaking the lower plastic slider

Be careful when you are lifting and positioning the flyscreen and do not bend or tilt the skirting board.

Have two people carefully lift the pre-assembled flyscreen and position it in the vehicle.

Adjusting the top guide rail

Check whether the contour and position of the upper guide rail fit the vehicle (see enlarged inset in fig. 7, page 5). You may need to adjust the upper guide rail by cutting the two upper legs.

5.4 Securing the flyscreen in the vehicle

NOTICE!

• Choose suitable screws depending on the floor and roof construction. Make sure that you do not drill through the floor and roof.

Securing the skirting board and upper guide rail

▶ Align the position of the cassette profile perpendicular to the skirting board and the upper guide rail. ▶ Secure the skirting board to the bottom plate (fig. 6, page 5) with five countersunk screws (∅ 4 mm). ▶ Secure the upper guide rail to the vehicle (fig. 7, page 5) with four countersunk screws (∅ 4 mm).

5.5 Completing installation

Riveting the cassette profile with the cover profile for the C pillar (fig. 8, page 6)

▶ Put all the blind rivets (4 x 8 mm with stainless steel mandrel) through the drill holes and rivet the components using a hand riveter.

Tensioning the guide cables

NOTICE!

The tension of the cables affects the guidance and smooth running of the handle strip. By changing the tension of the upper and lower cable, you can adjust the parallel orientation of the handle strip to the right door edge. Do not tension the cables more than 25 Newton.

▶ Tension the guide cables on the deflection screws on the skirting board and the top guide rail (fig. 9, page 6). ▶ Secure the safety clips onto the deflection screws each with a screw (M2.5 x 6 mm) (fig. 9 1 and 2, page 6).

6 Using the flyscreen

NOTICE! Beware of damage!

The sliding door of the vehicle may be closed only when the flyscreen is fully open.

Closing the flyscreen

▶ Pull the handle strip on the flyscreen to close the flyscreen (fig. 10, page 7).

Opening the flyscreen

▶ Pull the handle strip on the flyscreen to open the flyscreen (fig. 10, page 7).

7 Cleaning and maintenance

NOTICE! Damage hazard

Do not use sharp or hard objects or cleaning agents for cleaning as these may damage the product.

▶Occasionally clean the product with a damp cloth. ▶ Spray the guide rails on the sliding surfaces periodically with small amounts of silicone spray to achieve the easiest possible sliding of the cassette profile in the guide rails.

8 Warranty

The statutory warranty period applies. If the product is defective, please contact the service partner in your country (see back page).
