MANDATORY RISK ANALYSIS AND PROTECTION MEASURES
The VARIA SLIM RADIO 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
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.
