Work safety
In matters of work safety, the local standards and regula-
tions must be observed. In particular, fall-through protec-
tion must be provided until the weather-proof louvre is in-
stalled. Do not walk on weather-proof louvres themselves
despite the fact that they have been tested and certified
for fall-through protection.
General requirements for Switzerland
–
SUVA Swiss Federal Accident Insurance Fund, 6004

– Ordinance on construction work (BauAV)
–
EKAS Swiss Federal Coordination Commission for Health
and Safety, 6002 Lucerne, www.ekas.ch
Fall-through protection
Roofs are now more frequently used actively. They are
planted, serve as water retention surfaces or act as loca-
tions for installing solar and building service equipment.
There is a more frequent requirement for roofs to be
accessible, also for foot traffic. This increases the risk of
falling from the roof due to insufficiently secured roof
accesses (skylights, weather-proof louvres, etc.)
If one of the items below applies, roof accesses must have
a shatter-proof design.
1. The building area is freely accessible to third parties.
2. Technical equipment that requires regular maintenance
(e.g. more than once yearly), e.g. vents, solar systems
etc. are located on the roof.
3. The roof is intensively or extensively planted.
4. There are unsecured traffic paths on the building area
with roof access.
5. The building area has roof accesses which are not iden-
tified as such for night work or snow clearing.
Horizontal weather-proof louvres WSG-H3 are guaran-
teed fall-through proof in compliance with EN 1873+A1:2016
(or SIA 232.306+A1). Tested and confirmed by Empa
Dübendorf (Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials
Science and Technology) in Test Report 5214019875.
Remark: Horizontal weather-proof louvres from Lucoma
are fall-through proof but not walkable, it is strictly prohib-
ited to walk on horizontal weather-proof louvres. This
would damage the louvres. Lucoma assumes no liability
for walking on weather-proof louvres and recommends
that this be prevented by additional building measures.
Fire protection
Compliance is mandatory with all relevant international,
national and local standards and regulations for fire pro-
tection.
Lightning protection
Weather-proof louvres must be connected to the lightning
protection system in compliance with international, na-
tional and local standards and regulations.
Explosion protection
Weather-proof louvres are only approved if they have the
appropriate design and are properly labelled according
to ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU for Zone 1, 21 or 2, 22. Please
also note the remarks under the individual items in these
instructions.

(bottom flange without duct connection /
drainage over-roof)
The weather-proof louvre can be used on all flat roof
types with a pitch of 0°–35°. Drainage is over-roof.
2.2 WSG-H3-Fu-KA
(bottom flange with duct connection /
drainage over-roof)
The weather-proof louvre can be used on all flat roof
types with a pitch of 0°–35°. Drainage is over-roof. The
louvre is also equipped at the base with a duct connec-
tion.
2.3 WSG-H3-Fo

The weather-proof louvre can be used on all flat roof
types with a pitch of 0°–35°. Drainage is by internal drain
pipes.
2.4 WSG-H3-Fo-KA
(top flange with duct connection /
internal drainage by pipes)
The weather-proof louvre can be used on all flat roof
types with a pitch of 0°–35°. Drainage is by internal drain
pipes. The louvre is also equipped at the base with a duct
connection..

3 Mounting frame for horizontal weather-proof louvre in flat roof
construction (optional)
The mounting frame for fitting the horizontal weather-proof
louvre WSG-H3 on flat roof constructions is optionally
available on order and is manufactured to measure de-
pending on the building.
The mounting frame is pre-fabricated and is delivered
knocked-down including fastening materials. The purchas-
er must assemble it on site. Detailed assembly instructions
for the mounting frame are available at www.lucoma.ch.
In principle, weather-proof louvres and the system-com-
patible mounting frames can be used for all flat roof sys-
tems. The two most frequent flat roof types are used as
examples in these assembly instructions. The two sets of
instructions can be taken to derive all other flat roof types.
If you are in any doubt, please contact the specialists at
LUCOMA who are available to process your requests.

5 Installation instructions
Horizontal weather-proof louvres for flat roofs always re-
quire a supporting structure. The suitable mounting frame
can be optionally ordered from LUCOMA or the customer
can make an appropriate frame construction himself.
With louvres larger than 6 m or louvres consisting of sev-
eral louvres, the customer also requires an additional sup-
porting structure for the peripheral water channel or at
the point where the multiple louvres abut. The designing
engineer or the installer is responsible for producing ade-
quate support.

Installation, Operation and Maintenance Instructions
Weather-proof louvre, horizontal,
WSG-H3 for flat roof
The Lucoma type H3 weather-proof louvre can be used on
all flat roof types with a pitch of 0°–35°. If the roof con-
struction has a slope, it must be taken into consideration
when installing the louvre. To ensure trouble-free drain-
age of the louvre, water outlets and the blade alignment
must be positioned as shown in the drawings below.
Undesired water flow may occur if the installation is not
carried out properly. In this case, the manufacturer cannot
assume any liability for consequential damage.
On horizontal weather-proof louvres at locations exposed
to extreme weather, the customer should fit a seal along
the contact surface between the flange and the frame.
Make absolutely certain that the flanges are fully seated
along the entire periphery when the louvre is installed. On
weather-proof louvres which have air duct connection
nozzles and/or internal water drain pipes, the nozzles or
pipes must have a torsion-free connection. The weath-
er-proof louvres are then fully functional.
ATEX: Compliance is mandatory with all relevant interna-
tional and national standards and regulations for Ex
zones. With louvres in ATEX design in particular, the louvre
housing must be earthed using the earth wires fitted by
the manufacturer. When using sealing materials, make
sure that they are suitable for the particular ATEX zone. It
is prohibited to make any mechanical modifications to the
product. In addition, do not attach any components (frost
monitors, temperature sensors etc.) to the louvres if these
components have not been analysed for danger of igni-
tion by their manufacturer or approved for the particular
ATEX zones.
