Apply length of foam tape directly to the lower edge of the outer pane
of the glass unit as shown. Start by applying the tape 70mm up the
side of the glass unit and continuing to wrap around the lower edge
of the glass unit, nishing 70mm up the opposite side.
Secure sash frame together using the supplied screws in kit
(SLVTS002-6).
Once tape has been applied, assemble the sash in the sequence
shown above and ensure the tape is directed against section 2.

Slide the internal lower muntin bar into place
under the vent frame. See cross section 8a for
further detail.
Remove any handling tape around the
perimeter of the unit. Take care lowering the
glazed unit into position on the internal lower
muntin bar.

When the sealant on the mainframe has cured,
re-t the outer sash by holding vertically and
re-engage on to the hinge, before lowering
into position.

Using the screws provided attach the
spindle bracket to the sash bracket (already
attached to vent sash) taking care not to
damage the glazed unit.

OPTIONAL AUTOMATIC VENT CONTROLLER SECTION 5
THIS UNIT MUST BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN TO THE 17th EDITION BS7671
REQUIREMENTS FOR ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS
1. Remove the front panel by loosening the retaining screws.
2. Screw the back box to the surface of a masonry wall in the
conservatory, at the usual height of a wall switch.
3. Choose appropriate knock out for cable entry and smooth edges
to prevent damage to cable insulation.
4. In any situation where the mains cable is not plastered into the
wall, the cable must be adequately secured as close as possible to
the control box to prevent undue stress on the cable.
5. Connect the cables in accordance with the wiring diagram,
bringing sheath as close as possible to the terminal blocks, to
prevent contact of the inner insulation with other parts of the p.c.b.
Note that a junction box will be required in the ridge, to bring all the
actuator cables together. Run a single four-core cable from here
to the control box. Note that a fused isolator must be installed,
providing a contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles.
6. Replace the front panel.
THIS UNIT TO BE INSTALLED USING BASEC OR HAR APPROVED CABLE, AND MUST BE SUITABLY EARTHED
NOTE: CABLE NOT SUPPLIED BY ULTRAFRAME
SECTION 5INSTALLATION OF VENT CONTROLLER
The Automatic Vent Controller is an integrated electronic
thermostat and controller with rain sensor, for automatic and
manual operation of motorised roof vents. The vents open
automatically at high temperatures and close again when
the temperature drops or rain is detected. Up to 6 Ultraframe
actuators can be controlled by type Q8750.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
Mains Supply: 230V 5A 50Hz
Output current to actuators: 5.2A max at 20% duty cycle
Opening impulse: Variable, 3 to 9 sec approx.
Closing impulse: 11 sec approx
Dierential temp of thermostat: 2°C
Mounting angle of rain sensor: 15° to 45°
Cable for rain sensor: 0.5mm2 2 core round exible cable. Ø5 to
7mm
Working voltage of rain sensor: 1V to 6V wet - 7.5V to 10V dry
(a.c.)
Equivalent resistance of rain sensor: Less than 80k ohms wet.
Greater than 300k ohms dry
Finish: White only
Dimensions of controller: 148 x 88 x 52 excluding thermostat
setting knob
Dimensions of rain sensor: 75 x 51 x 28 excluding cable gland

SECTION 6SWITCH AND CONTROLLER WIRING
4. Attach the unit with the self-adhesive pad provided to a convenient exposed part of the roof, with the black sensing pattern uppermost.
The cable can point towards the ridge, gutter, or to either side. The unit must slope at a gradient of at least 15º to enable excess water to run
o. Packing may be required on a lean-to roof to ensure this. Avoid shelter from overhanging eaves, especially if the conservatory is on the
sheltered side of a taller building (house etc). In the UK the prevailing wind and most rainfall comes from the South-West. This is therefore the
preferred side of the roof for the rain sensor, but check local conditions, especially on the East Coast or on Mainland Europe.

INSTALLATION OF RAIN SENSOR SECTION 7
1. Pass the cable through the cable gland, strip the cable ends and
crimp on the terminals supplied.
2. Push the terminals on to the blades. Do not over tighten the
nuts and screws, or the conductive pattern many be damaged by
indentation.
NOTE: Round 3A mains cable must be used to ensure that the
cable gland grips the cable and forms a waterproof seal. (This
cable carries only 9V a.c. however).
3. Fit the bottom cover without sealing the joint

SECTION 8ADJUSTMENT AND TESTING
TESTING
1. When the installation is complete, insert the supply fuse and
switch the isolator on. Note that the vents are likely to open or close
on power-up.
2. First check for correct operation of the vents by use of the tactile
open/close switches.
IT IS VITAL THAT WHEN THE VENTS ARE CLOSED FULLY, THEY
ARE NOT TOO TIGHTLY CLOSED.
3. In warmer weather, automatic operation can be checked by turning
the thermostat up and down. Note that the vent should OPEN when
turned to a low temperature and CLOSE when turned to a high
temperature.
In cold weather i.e: below 10ºC in the conservatory, the thermostat
element can be warmed up by using a hair dryer on a LOW heat
setting. This should cause the vents to open. Turn the thermostat up
to check that they close.
4. To test the rain sensor, the vents must rst be opened and clean
water sprayed onto the rain sensor. The vents should close within a
few seconds.
NOTE: a wet rain sensor will prevent automatic opening. If
testing in actual rain, the surface of the sensor can be dried
with clean kitchen tissue. Take care that the sensing surface is
not scratched. It must also be kept free of grease and sealing
compound.
OPENING ADJUSTMENT
Within the opening distance selected at the actuator, the opening distance when opening automatically can be adjusted in the range 100-
300mm by turning the control as required. See drawing of controller on page 5. This is not a “customer control”. It should be pre-set by the
installing electrician if the customer requests it. Note that the opening distance is reduced by turning clockwise.
THERMOSTAT ADJUSTMENT
The adjustment range of the thermostat is 10º to 30ºC. Set the control
knob to the temperature at which you want automatic operation of
the vents. The vents will open whenever the temperature rises above
your setting and re-close when it falls below this setting.
RAIN SENSOR
A rain sensor mounted on the roof will prevent automatic opening
of the vents, and will cause them to re-close if it rains when they are
already open.
MANUAL CONTROL
The tactile switches can be operated at any time to temporarily
override the automatic actions of the controller. With these switches
you can set the vents to any desired position. Press the “open”
switch to open vent and press the “close” switch to close vent. Note
that automatic operation will resume, commensurate with climatic
conditions and the thermostat setting.
NOTE
1. Following a period of rain, the rain sensor will take some time to dry.
Whilst still wet, it will hold the vents closed, and immediately re-close
them if opened by the tactile switch.
2. If you wish to leave the vents in any xed position, rst use the
open/close tactile switch, then switch othe electric supply at the
isolator.
