GIESSE VARIA SLIM Manuel D'utilisation Et D'installation page 20

For bottom hung window frames injury could be caused by accidental falls of the window. An appropriately sized
flexible link arm or fall prevention safety system designed to resist a force equal to at least three times the total
weight of the window MUST be installed.
9.1. Preparation of actuator for assembly
Before starting assembly of the actuator, prepare the following material for completion, equipments and tools.
◆ For fixing onto metal window frames: M5 threaded inserts (6 pieces), M5x12 flat headed metric screws (6 pieces).
◆
For fixing onto wooden window frames: self threading screws for wood Ø4.5 (6 pieces).
◆
For fixing onto PVC window frames: self threading screws for metal Ø4.8 (6 pieces).
◆ Equipment and tools: measuring tape, pencil, drill/screwdriver, set of drill heads for metal, insert for screwing in, electricians pliers,
screwdrivers.
9.2. Assembly with outward opening window
Application on outward opening
Figure 4
Above the drawing of specific application using accessories provided. For different mountings, please contact manufacturer.
A. Pencil in an "X" over the centre line of the window frame (Fig. 2) or fairly divide it in case of use of more VARIA SLIM SYNCRO.
B. Select the correct form of brackets (Fig. 3).
C. Attach the template to the window frame (fixed part) and line axis up with the centre line "X" traced earlier (Fig. 4). Warning: for window frames
not on the same plane, cut the part of the template coloured in grey and fix this to the moveable part of the window frame, taking care to keep it in
the same position.
D. Bore holes in the window frame at the points indicated on the template (Fig. 5).
E. Assemble the two brackets with the distancer (to help position correctly. Once it has served its purpose it can be removed). Mount the supports
onto the frame with the appropriate screws provided. Check that everything is aligned both horizontally and vertically.
F. Mount the bracket for outward opening windows onto the moveable part of the frame in accordance with the markings indicated on the template.
G. Complete assembly of the chain terminal with the rapid release hook inserted onto the pin Ø4x32 (provided) in median position (Fig. 6).
H. Mount the actuator onto the brackets by inserting the two openings at each side onto the corresponding pins on the brackets.
I. Rotate the actuator 90°, bring the chain terminal up to the bracket and insert the pin into the opening on the bracket. Insert the rapid release hook into
the bracket. For the first few times, this may fairly stiff, but in time the pieces involved will adapt to their positions.
J. Check that the exit on the chain is perfectly aligned with the bracket. If the chain is not aligned with the bracket, loosen the fixing screws and
reposition the bracket correctly.
K. Check all electrical connections with the diagram on the label attached to the lead.
L. Carry out a complete check of opening and closure of the window. Once the closure phase has been completed, check that the window frame is
completely closed by checking the pressure on the weather strips.
M. On re-entry the actuator limit switch functions automatically. The device exerts a traction force of over 300 N to guarantee perfect sealing up of the
weather strips.
9.3. Assembly on transom window
Application on transom window
Figure 9
Above the drawing of specific application using accessories provided. For different mountings, please contact manufacturer.
A. Before starting, check that there are at least two mechanical compass safety stops or other form of stops connected to the frame, and
ensure that the stops can prevent any accidental fall of the window. Your safety is at hand.
B. Pencil in an "X" over the centre line of the window frame (Fig. 7) or fairly divide it in case of use of more VARIA SLIM SYNCRO.
C. Select the correct form of brackets (Fig. 8).
D. Attach the template to the window frame (fixed part) and line axis up with the centre line "X" traced earlier (Fig. 9). Warning: for window frames
not on the same plane, cut the part of the template coloured in grey and fix this to the moveable part of the window frame, taking care to keep it in
the same position.
E. Bore holes in the window frame at the points indicated on the template (Fig. 10).
F. Assemble the two brackets with the distancer (to help position correctly. Once it has served its purpose it can be removed). Mount the supports
onto the frame with the appropriate screws provided. Check that everything is aligned both horizontally and vertically.
