MANDATORY RISK ANALYSIS AND PROTECTION MEASURES
The VARIA TUBE electrical actuators comply with the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC), Standard IEC 60335-2-103 (Particular requirements
for drives for gates, doors and windows) and other directives and regulations indicated in the attached Declarations of Incorporation and CE
Conformity (at the end of the manual). According to the Machinery Directive, actuators are "partly completed machinery" intended for
incorporation into doors and windows. The manufacturer/supplier of the window is required, with exclusive responsibility, to ensure the
compliance of the entire system with the applicable standards and to issue CE certification. We strongly discourage any use of the actuators
other than that specified and therefore, in any case, the supplier of the complete system retains full liability.
For systems installed at a height of less than 2.5 m above floor level or other levels accessible to users, the manufacturer/supplier of the
window must conduct risk analysis regarding potential harm (violent blows, crushing, wounds) caused to people by normal use or possible
malfunction or accidental breakage of the automated windows, and to implement suitable protective measures in view of these. Such
measures include those recommended by the specified standard:
controlling the actuators via a "deadman's button" placed near the system and within the operator's field of view, to ensure that people
-
are out of the way during operation. The button must be placed at a height of 1.5 m and operated by key if accessible to the public; or:
- use of contact safety systems (also included in the actuators) that ensure a maximum closing force of 400/150/25 N, measured in
accordance with paragraph BB.20.107.2 of IEC 60335-2-103; or:
- use of non-contact safety systems (lasers, light grids); or:
- use of fixed safety barriers that prevent access to moving parts.
Automated windows are deemed adequately protected if they:
- are installed at a height of >2.5 m; or:
- have a leading-edge opening of <200 mm and a closing speed of <15 mm/s; or:
- are part of a smoke and heat evacuation system for emergency use only.
In any case, moving parts of windows that could fall below 2.5 m following breakage of a system component need to be fixed or secured in
order to prevent them from suddenly falling or collapsing: e.g. the use of safety arms on bottom-hung windows.
The device is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lacking experience and knowledge. Do not allow children to play with the fixed controls and keep any remote-control units out of
their reach.
The actuator is destined exclusively for installation indoors. For any special application we recommend you consult the
manufacturer beforehand.
After removing packaging, check for any damage on the appliance.
Always request exclusive use of original spare parts. Failure to respect this condition could compromise safety and invalidate
the benefits contained in the warranty for the appliance.
In the event of any problems or queries, consult your agent or contact the manufacturer directly.
2. FORMULAS AND INSTALLATION ADVICE
2.1. Calculating the opening / closing force
The formulas provided on this page allow approximate calculation of the force required to open or close the window, considering all the
factors used in the calculation.
Symbols used in the calculation
F (Kg) = opening or closing force
C (cm) = Opening stroke (actuator stroke)
For domes or horizontal skylights
(Any load applied to the dome by snow
or wind must be considered separately).
The graph illustrates the force applied by the actuator in relation to the chosen stroke and
installation type.
.
F = 0.54 x P
.
P (Kg) = Weight of window (mobile sash only)
H (cm) = Height of window (mobile sash)
For vertical windows
▪
- (A)
TOP HUNG
▪
- (B)
BOTTOM HUNG
F = 0.54 x P x C : H
(Any window load acting with or against the
window must be considered separately).
