Protection Devices; Safety Plates; Residual Risks; General Precautions - TOPP C130 Mode D'emploi

&
Do not remove or alter the plates affixed on the
actuator by the manufacturer.
&
This appliance is not suitable to use by persons with
limited physical, sensory and mental abilities (including
children) or inexperienced persons, unless they are
supervised and instructed on how to use the device by a
person who is responsible for their own safety. Children
must be monitored to make sure they do not play with the
appliance.
&
In case of doubt on the functioning of the actuator, do
not use it and contact the manufacturer.
4.2

PROTECTION DEVICES

Protection against electrical hazards: The actuator is
protected against direct and indirect contact electrical
hazards.
Protective measures against direct contacts are aimed at
protecting persons against hazards derived from
contacts with live parts that are normally energized. On
the contrary, protective measures against indirect
contacts are aimed at protecting persons against hazards
derived from current-conducting parts that are normally
isolated and that can be energized because of faults
(insulating failures).
The protective measures adopted are the following:
1. insulating live parts with a plastic material body;
2. a covering with an appropriate protection grade;
3. passive protection that consists in using parts with
double insulation, also class II components or with
equivalent insulation.

INSTALLATION
5.1
GENERAL PRECAUTION
Installation of the actuator must be made
exclusively by qualified technical personnel in
possession of the professional requisites foreseen
by the legislation in force in the country of
installation.
&
The actuator must always be installed with the
window in the closed position.
&
It is strictly prohibited to install the actuator on the
outside of the window subject to atmospheric agents
(rain, snow, etc...).
&
It is strictly prohibited to use the actuator in rooms with
a potentially explosive atmosphere.
&
Check the adequacy of the window and the suitability
of the materials of the window and/or frame on which the
actuator will be fastened. And it must ensure a good
support of the actuator-window assembly during the
movement.

INSTALLATION AND USE INSTRUCTIONS
4.3

SAFETY PLATES

It is forbidden to remove, transfer, damage or make the
safety plates for the actuator not very visible. Failure to
comply with the above stated may result in serious
injuries to persons and damages to things. The
manufacturer will be fully exempted against any damage
that is caused because of non-compliance to such
precautions. Fig.6 shows the safety plate: it must be
applied directly on the outer part of the actuator or close
to it and, in any case, in a position that is visible to the fitter
and/or operator.
4.4

RESIDUAL RISKS

The fitter and the user are informed that after installing
the actuators onto the windows, the automatic operation
of the windows can accidentally cause the following
residual risk:
%
Residual risk: Risk of crushing or dragging the parts
of the body that are fitted between the mobile part and
the fixed part of the window.
%
Exposure rate: Accidental and when the fitter or the
user decides to perform an incorrect voluntary action.
%
The extent of the damage: Light damages that are
normally reversible.
%
Adopted measures: Before starting make sure that
near the windows there are no persons, animals or
things whose safety can be accidentally compromised.
While activating the actuator the user must be in a
secure control position that can ensure a visual control
of the moving window.
&
Before installing the actuator always check:
%
that the thrust or traction force of the actuator is
sufficient to ensure correct movement of the window
depending on the type and weight; do not exceed the
parameters listed in Tab. 1- par.3.3;
%
that the window to be opened and closed has a
minimum height as listed in the tables shown in Fig.8
for top-hinged windows, Fig.19 for bottom-hinged
windows and Fig.30 for dome windows;
%
that for bottom-hinged windows two compass-type
limit switches are installed on both sides or the
window, or other safety device to ensure that the
window cannot fall accidentally;
%
that the fastening surface of the snap fastener is
perfectly flat and/or leveled.
TOPP has chosen to calibrate the stroke length of
the actuator in the factory during assembly, after
which neither the installer nor user can change it.
