Entrapment protection (see N.12 of Safety Notes; p 2/8)
In "CLOSE" direction the drive has an active
clamping protection for the main closing edge. With
an overload in the closing range 3 and 2 the drive
runs "OPEN" for 20 seconds, then drive "CLOSE"
again. If after three attempts a closing is not possible,
the drive remains in this position.
In addition, the drive has a passive clamping
protection. The closing speed in closure Range 2
and 1 is reduced to 5 mm/s (0.2"/s). The drives were
not evaluated for entrapment protection.
Higher forces can occur on
besides closing edges.
Danger of violent pressure
in handaccessible area.
The dri ves were not evalua ted f or

! IMPORTANT ! Safety Notes
1. Mounting of the drive should be carried out by a D+H distributor, whose qualification and experience is
ensured by regular in-house training.
2. All wiring must be installed by a qualified electrican according to National Electrical Codes, NFPA 70.
3. For indoor use only. Use always rain detector with danger of rain (e.g. at domelights or roof windows).
4. Observe enclosed red safety slip!
5. Danger of violent pressure in handaccessible area.
6. The window operators have been evaluated for Residential or Light Duty Commercial Use only.
7. A suitable field wiring means should be provided in the end use application.
8. The mounting and routing of external wiring should be determined in the end product.
9. The mounting of each unit shall be evaluated in the end use.
10. The suitability of the leads for field wiring should be determined in the end-use application.
11. The drive must be mounted a min of 8 feet above the floor or any access level.
12. The drives were not evaluated for entrapment protection since they are to be installed at least 8 feet above
the floor. Where entrapment is a consideration, the need for additional tests and evaluation should be
determined during the end product investigation.
13. The drive shall be connected to a Class 2 power supply.
For North America:
14. The Uniform Building Code Standard Vols. 1, 2 & 3 have to be observed.
Intended use
- Chain drive for electric opening and closing of
windows and flaps in the facade and roof area
- Useable for daily natural ventilation
- Operating voltage 24 V DC
- Only for inside mounting
Performance features
- Micro processor controlled electronics
- Individually programmable via Powerline (PLP1
with BI-BT 2 and SCS)
- Stroke programming with magnets
- Low running noises
- Connection via plug connector
- Tandem-safety function for operation of two
VCD 204 drives on one sash
Operating voltage 24 V DC!
Do not connect directly to the mains supply!
- Connection has to be carried out only by an
authorized electrical specialist
- Danger of violent pressure in handaccessible area
- Keep away People from the operating area of the
drive
- Keep away children from the control
- Use only in dry rooms
- Only for inside mounting.
Use rain detector with danger of rain
(e.g. at domelights or roof windows)
- Just use unchanged original D+H parts
- Observe mounting instructions of bracket set!
Observe enclosed r ed safety slip!
Safety notes
Drive unit with 2,5 m (97.5") PVC cable. Dependent
on the type of window, different bracket sets are
available separately.
Extent of supply
Up to two VCD 204 drives and one locking drive can
be used in tandem. Combined TMS and BRV signal.
The BRV signal is only output when in the end
position - this prevents locking drives and modules
from malfunctioning.
During the learning phase, the activated stroke is
transferred to the tandem drive via the TMS+
function.
