DANGER
Risk of death due to power failure!
The RotoE-TecDrive may fail in emergency situations (power
failure) which may prevent the quick opening of the window.
fNever use the RotoE-TecDrive in windows and balcony doors
which are marked as escape routes.
DANGER
Risk of death due to live components!
Current can lead to fatal injuries or death.
fOnly use the device with 24V, 0.63A power supply with
touchable safety extra-low voltage.
fAll assembly and installation work must be carried out by
experts.
fThe relevant national regulations must be observed and
complied with in the process (in Germany, e.g. VDE 0100).
WARNING
Risk of injury from windows which are tilted downwards
(Tilt-Only sash)
The hardware can be unlocked as a result of incorrect installation
or improper operation, which can lead to the window sash falling
out, if no restrictor and cleaning stay is installed on the Tilt-Only
sash.
fRestrictor and cleaning stays must be installed on Tilt-Only
sashes if none are present.
CAUTION
Danger of crushing and trapping due to opening and closing
forces
Movable parts of the drive can cause injuries during operation.
fNever reach between the window sash and window frame or
between the movable parts of the RotoE-TecDrive while the
drive is moving.
WARNING
Loss of function due to deformation of drive components
Failure to comply with the recommended sash dimensions
canlead to deformation and a loss of the function of the
RotoE-TecDrive.
fAlways comply with the recommended sash dimensions in
accordance with the application diagram. Failure to comply
with the recommended sash dimensions voids the guarantee
and warranty for the RotoE-TecDrive.
