Horizontal domes or skylights (Fig.3):
F = Force required to open or close
P = Weight of the skylight or cupola (only mobile part)
F = 0,54 x P
Top hung windows (Fig.4) or bottom hung
windows(Fig.5):
F = Force required to open or close
P = Weight of the window (only mobile part)
C = Window opening stroke
H = Window height (only mobile part)
F = (0,54 x P) x (C / H)

INTENDED USAGE

The actuator was designed and made exclusively to open
and close top hung and bottom hung windows using a
control device. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of
the fitter and of the user at all times and the efficiency of
the actuator itself, it is absolutely forbidden to use it for
other purposes.
C h e c k c a r e f u l l y a l l e n v i r o n m e n t a l c o n d i t i o n s
(temperature, humidity, wind, snow, potential chemical
agents, etc.) and installation settings (misaligned fitting of
brackets and attachment to the frame, frictions produced
by hinges or gaskets, use of self-balancing window stays,
etc.) it is recommended that they not exceed the actuator
performances shown in the technical table. If they do,
please find an alternative and more suitable product for
your application.

height lower than 2.5 meters and if they can be controlled
by personnel without any training or by means of a
remote control, the system must be equipped with an
emergency halting system that can intervene
automatically to prevent risk of crushing or dragging the
body fitted between the mobile part and the fixed part of
the window itself.
&
Ordinary and extra-ordinary maintenance operations
that require the disassembling of the actuator (even
partial), must be made only after interrupting the power of
the actuator itself.
