4.1- PROTECTIONAGAINST ELECTRIC HAZARD
The actuator is protected against electric hazard due to direct and indirect contacts.
The protection measures against direct contacts aim at protecting people against
hazards due to contact with active parts, usually live parts; while the protection
measures against indirect contacts aim at protecting people against hazards due to
conducing part, which are usually insulated, but could become live in case of failure
(insulation failure).
The adopted protection measures are the following:
Insulation of live parts by means of a plastic material body;
Enclosure with suitable protection degree;
: Protection of passive type
given by the use of components with double insulation, also called components of
class II or with equivalent insulation (
).
The actuator does not have residual risks. The installer and the user are herewith
informed that after the actuator has been installed on the window, the actuator drive can
accidentally generate the following residual risk:
Hazard of squashing or dragging of body parts inserted between the movable and the
fix part of the window frame.
Accidental and when the installer or the user decides to perform a wrong voluntary
action.
Light lesions (usually reversible).
Before enabling the device, it is compulsory to verify that near the window there are not
persons, animals or things whose safety may be accidentally jeopardized. During
actuator operation, it is compulsory to be in a safe control position assuring visual
control on the window movement.

5.1- GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
THE ACTUATOR INSTALLATION CAN BE PERFORMED EXCLUSIVELY BY COMPETENT
AND QUALIFIED TECHNICAL PERSONNEL SATISFYING THE PROFESSIONAL AND
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS FORESEEN BY THE LAWS IN FORCE IN THE COUNTRY OF
INSTALLATION.
THE ACTUATOR PERFORMANCE MUST BE SUFFICIENT TO ASSURE THE CORRECT
MOVEMENT OF THE WINDOW. IT IS COMPULSORY TO VERIFY THE THRUST OR

IT IS FORBIDDEN TO EXCEED THE LIMITS GIVEN IN TAB.1 CONCERNING THE
TECHNICAL DATA(PAR.3.3).
THE ACTUATOR INSTALLATION MUST BE PERFORMED EXCLUSIVELY WITH CLOSED
WINDOW OR SKYLIGHT.
BEFORE PERFORMING THE INSTALLATION OF THE ACTUATOR ON HOPPER
WINDOWS, VERIFY THAT ON BOTH SIDES OF THE WINDOW TWO COMPASS STROKE
LIMIT DEVICES ARE INSTALLED IN ORDER TO AVOID THE ACCIDENTAL FALL OF THE
WINDOW.
FOR CORRECT OPERATION OF THE ACTUATOR, THE WINDOW MUST HAVE A MINIMUM
HEIGHT OF 800 mm (DISTANCE OF THE ACTUATOR FROM THE WINDOW OPENING
HINGE). OTHERWISE, ASK YOUR DEALER OR THE MANUFACTURER FOR THE
NECESSARYACCESSORIES FOR ACORRECT INSTALLATION.
VERIFY THAT THE DISTANCE "D" BETWEEN THE FIXED PART OF THE WINDOW (ON
WHICH THE FIXING OF THE ACTUATOR IS FORESEEN - FIG.6-REF.1) AND THE
MOVABLE PART OF THE WINDOW (ON WHICH THE BRACKET FIXING IS FORESEEN -
FIG.6-REF.2) IS INCLUDED WITHIN 0 AND 10 mm. OTHERWISE, ASK YOUR DEALER OR

3) SYNCHRONIZATION UNIT:
Fig.24-B Fig.34-B
Microprocessor control units (e.g.: Mod. TF, EVP, etc.) controlling the single actuator
or more than one actuator simultaneously by means of one or more manual push-
buttons, an infrared remote control or a 433 Mhz radio control.
To these control units, it is possible to connect the rain sensors , the wind
sensor and the brightness sensor ;
Microprocessor control unit (e.g.: Mod. USA2) controlling by means of a manual
push-button the simultaneous operation of 2 or 3 actuators installed on a single
window assuring the regular opening and closing movement.
A good method to perform the adjustment is to let the chain go back without load into the
actuator and, then, to measure the position of the chain ending with reference to the
external casings.
Then, tighten the window frame fixing screw and let the chain go back.
The adjustment is right, when with closed window the chain ending has the same
position detected during the test without load.
As given in (top hung windows) and in (bottom hung windows),
although the window is closed, part of the chain ending or of the chain itself has not
come back completely into the actuator casings causing the failed tripping of the related
limit switch related to the chain re-entering. In this case, the actuator motor remains
under conditions of maximum stress, until the electronic protection trips and the
