NOTES ON THE ACTUATOR
The actuator D31Fce complies with
current safety standards. Operating
safety can be guaranteed only if
installers comply with the safety
regulations in force in the country where the
actuator is used. The D31Fce actuator is
designed exclusively to open and close top hung
windows and domes and is designed only for
indoor use. It is forbidden to put two or more
actuators on the same window without using a
synchronization accessory.
Any other application of the actuator must be
approved by Mingardi S.r.l. after technical testing of
the application.
Use only original accessories or accessories
approved by Mingardi S.r.l. to install the actuator.

In order to ensure personal safety,
strictly comply with the regulations that
are set out below.
USE AND MAINTENANCE
When using the D31Fce actuator, follow these
safety regulations:
do not allow children to play with the
remote controls; observe the moving
parts closely and allow neither adults
nor children to approach until the
moving parts have come to a complete stop. The
position of the three-way switch buttons must be
outside the field of action of the moving part of
the window.
at least once a year, check that the
power cable has not been damaged and
that it shows no sign of wear;
check that no object obstructs the
window movement; if faults arise, never
work on the actuator, never open or
dismantle parts of the actuator that
deny access to the inside of the mechanism.
If the actuator fails to function or is damaged,
contact service engineers; do not use the
actuator until it has been repaired.

Checks
Before installing, check that:
•The actuator performance is sufficient to open
and close the window (but that the limits
displayed on the actuator ratings plate are not
exceeded). Remember that the window,
especially if it is a skylight, may have to
withstand wind, snow and perhaps even ice in
addition to its own weight.
•The minimum height of the window is more
than 300 mm for actuators with strokes up to
300 mm and 500 mm for actuators with strokes
up to 500 mm
•The frame components and hinges are of an
adequate size to stand up to the operating
stress.
•The hinges and fixtures enable the actuator to
complete its opening stroke in order to prevent
damage to the structures due to the thrust or
tensile stress exerted by the actuator.
•The electrical control systems comply with the
regulations in force in the country of use.
•The electric wires used are of the appropriate
section.
•The mains power supply and main switch are
near the window.
•There is a junction box to house the power
cable conductors.
•The packing contains all the component parts
and accessories required to install the actuator
(Fig. A00).
•The actuator operates smoothly and correctly
when it is powered up and the two limit
switches that limit the extension and retraction
of the rod trip correctly.
•That during assembly and disassembly of the
actuator from the window, as it is not blocked in
the open or closed position, appropriate
measures are taken to avoid any accidental
banging with impacts, breakages of the window
and injury to the operator.
•A platform or scaffolding is provided if the
actuators are to be installed at a height of more
than 2.5 metres.
Operations that must be carried out before
fitting the actuator:
•Power up the actuator and make it perform one
stroke without being fitted to the window in
order to check that it has not suffered damage
during transit.
Warning!
If safety devices prevent the window
from being fully opened, or if the
window is opened less than the full
stroke of the actuator, the actuator or the window
may be damaged.
AFITTING TO TOP HUNG WINDOWS
AND DOME WINDOWS
•Bring front head ‘A’ to half way along its stroke
and proceed in the following manner:
1) Loosen nut ‘B’ with a spanner.
2) Turn the head clockwise or anticlockwise until
the required position is found, holding shaft
‘C’ stationary with the appropriate tool.
3) Tighten nut ‘B’.
•Identify and mark the centre line of the window
and of the fixed frame.
•Mark the fixing holes, using the supplied bracket
as a reference.
•Drill holes in the window and sill (or frame) with
the appropriate drill bits in order to fit the front
connection bracket (2) and the motor support
bracket (1).
•Fix the front bracket (2) to the window and
tighten the screws (24) (not supplied).
•Fit the motor support bracket (1) to the actuator
by partially tightening the two screws (7) in the
holes.

•When the window is closed and the actuator has
reached the end of stroke (actuator closed),
position everything in such a way that head ‘A’ is
inserted inside the bracket (2) and insert the pin
(14) without snap ring.
A07
•Move the actuator along its axis in order to exert
sufficient pressure on the window seal. Mark the
fixing holes, using the motor support bracket
supplied as a reference.
•Remove the actuator from the front bracket by
removing pin (14) and then the motor support
bracket from the actuator by loosening the
screws (7).
A09
•Use an appropriate bit to drill the two previously
marked holes, fix the motor support bracket
with two screws (not supplied) and tighten.
•Use the bracket as a drilling template to drill the
two remaining holes, insert the screws and
tighten.
•Temporarily power up the actuator until the rod
comes out by about 40-50 mm.
Danger!
Danger of hands being crushed. When
the window is moving, do not insert
your hand between the fixed frame and
the moving parts.
•Position everything in such a way that head ‘A’
is inserted inside the bracket (2) and insert the
pivot (14) and the previously removed snap ring.

•Connect the actuator to the mains using the
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTION TO THE
ELECTRIC NETWORK (part B of this manual) in
accordance with the safety regulations in force.
•Start up the actuator in order to fully open the
window and close it again. This enables
operating efficiency, the limit switch and correct
window closing to be tested.
•If the frame does not close completely or if the
limit switch is not activated during closing, you
have to make the adjustment by carrying out
these operations:
1) Disconnect the actuator.
2) Remove a snap ring (13) and extract the pin (14)
3) Loosen nut ‘B’ with an appropriate spanner.
4) Rotate head ‘A’ anticlockwise by a few turns
holding shaft ‘C’ stationary with an
appropriate spanner.
5) Tighten nut ‘B’.
6) Put the pin (14) back and tighten the snap
ring (13).
7) Connect the actuator.
•If the limit switch works but the window remains
open, proceed as previously indicated, by
rotating the head ‘A’ clockwise by a few turns.
Danger!

Warning!
Install switchover buttons, main OFF
position, with a "man present" or
equivalent control. The position of the
three-way switch buttons must be outside the
field of action of the moving part of the window.
Connection to the mains is carried out using
cables having conductors with a minimum
section of 1 mm2and that are long enough to
reach the junction box, which must be placed
close to the actuator. The electric conducts must
be properly sized according to the needs of each
single system. Connection to the mains is
performed using cables having wires with a
minimum section of 1 mm2, and adequate length
to reach the connector block, which has to be
placed near the actuator. The electric wires must
be properly sized according to the needs of each
single system. Install any remote controls in such
a position so that controlled automation is visible
and at a minimum height of 1.5 m. If the actuator
is supplied for operation without surveillance
(automatic or remote operation), it is advisable to
Install additional safety devices. You must
carefully follow the Instructions given at the side
of the wiring diagrams shown in this manual when
connecting to the electric network and to the
indicator wires. Only the actuator's absorbed
power is given on the data plate. If an Indicator
source is present, it is necessary to size the
electric system appropriately.
Note!
The Indicator with potential is to be
delivered with the same voltage as that
of the actuator's power supply.
