All preparatory, assembly and electrical connection operations must be performed by specialised technical
personnel to guarantee optimal function and service of the actuator.
Check that the following fundamental conditions have been met:
Before installing the actuator, check that the moving parts of the window on which it is
to be installed are in perfect working condition and that they open and close properly
and are well balanced (where applicable).
Actuator specifications must be sufficient for movement of the window without encountering
any obstacle. The limits indicated in the technical data table must not be superseded (section
5) and the most appropriate stroke should be selected. Calculations should be checked using
the formula indicated in section 2.1.
Attention. Check that the electrical power supply corresponds to that indicated on the
TECHNICAL DATA label on the machine.
Ensure that the actuator has not been damaged during transport, first visually and then by
powering in both directions.
Check that the width of the inside of the window (where the actuator is to be assembled)
is over 375 mm, otherwise the actuator should not be installed.
Check that once the actuator has been installed the distance
between the fixed part of the window frame (where the actuator
is to be assembled) and the mobile part of the window frame
(where the bracket is to be fixed) is greater than or equal to 0
mm (Fig. 1). If this is not the case the actuator will not function
correctly as the window will not close correctly. If required, add
additional thickness below the support brackets to reset the
quota.
For bottom hung window frames injury could be caused by accidental falls of the window.
An appropriately sized flexible link arm or fall prevention safety system designed to resist a force
equal to at least three times the total weight of the window MUST be installed.
8.1. Preparation of actuator for assembly
Before starting assembly of the actuator, prepare the following material for completion, equipment and
tools.
◆
For fixing onto metal window frames: M5 threaded inserts (6 pieces), M5x12 flat headed metric
screws (6 pieces).
◆
For fixing onto wooden window frames: self threading screws for wood Ø4.5 (6 pieces).
◆
For fixing onto PVC window frames: self threading screws for metal Ø4.8 (6 pieces).
◆
Equipment and tools: measuring tape, pencil, drill/screwdriver, set of drill heads for metal, insert
for screwing in, electricians pliers, screwdrivers.
