Safety instructions
Disposal: Packaging is to be disposed of
appropriately. Electrical equipment is to be
disposed of at recycling collection points for scrap
electrical and electronic equipment. The Electrical and
Electronic Equipment Act relating to disposal of electrical
equipment does not apply in this instance. Rechargeable
and single-use batteries are to be disposed of in line with
§ 12 of the Battery Ordinance (BattV), either via the
manufacturer or at an appropriate collection point.
Electrical equipment and batteries must not be disposed
of with household waste.
Compatibility: When putting together a system consisting
of various devices made by different manufacturers, the
system compatibility must be tested and approved by the
constructor to ensure safe function during operation.
Equipment modification to achieve compatibility must be
authorised by the manufacturer.
Conformity: This confirms that the equipment complies
with the recognised rules of engineering. For electrical
equipment a declaration of EC conformity can be
requested from the manufacturer. Note: if the equipment
(e.g. drive unit) is part of a machine in terms of the
Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, this does not render the
supplier/contractor exempt from informing the customer
with regard to the necessary installation instructions,
labelling, documentation and certificates relevant to this
directive.
Guarantee: The ZVEI "Green Supply Conditions" are
taken as agreed. The guarantee period for material supply
is 12 months. Any intervention with the equipment or
system that is not authorised by the manufacturer will
result in invalidation of liability, guarantee and service.
Liability: Product changes and settings may be modified
without advance notice. Illustrations are not binding. No
liability will be held for contents despite maximum care
being taken.
Electrical safety
Wiring and electrical connections must only be done by
an electrician. Mains 230 / 400 V AC must be secured
separately on site. The appropriate laws, specifications
and standards must be observed, such as the directive
relating to fire safety of conduit installations (MLAR / LAR
/ RbALei), VDE 0100 (specifications for high-voltage
circuits up to 1000 V), VDE 0815 (installation cables
and wiring), VDE 0833 (fire, burglary and attack alarm
systems). If necessary, cable types must be defined in
conjunction with the local approval bodies, power supply
companies or fire safety authorities.

Ventilation chain motor FM 194-401
Cabling for extra-low voltages (e.g. 24 V DC) is to be laid
separately from low-voltage line (e.g. 230 V AC).
Flexible cables must be laid in such a way that they
cannot be sheared off, twisted or snapped during
operation. Power supplies, control units and junction
boxes must be accessible for maintenance work.
Cabling types, lengths and cross-sections are to comply
with technical guidelines.
Before work is carried out on the system, the
mains current and emergency power supply
(eg. rechargeable batteries) is to be disconnected from
all-poles and secured to prevent accidental switch-on.
Never operate the drive units, control units, operator
elements and sensors on supply voltage and
connections in such a way as to contravene the guidelines
in the operator manual. There is a risk of fatal injury,
and it can cause components to be destroyed!
Mechanical safety
Falling window casements: Window casements are to be
mounted in such a way that even if one of the suspension
elements fails, the design prevents the unit from falling or
moving in an uncontrolled way, e.g. by double
hanging, security stay, safety catch. Please note: to
prevent obstruction/falling of the window, the security
stay/safety catch must be compatible with the intended
opening span and mechanism of the window. See also the
directive for power-operated windows, doors and gates
(BGR 232) and the ZVEI brochure "RWA Update No. 3,
power-operated windows".
Fittings and fixing material: any fixing materials required or
supplied with the product must be adapted to the building
and load, and if necessary supplemented.
Crush and shear points:
Power-operated windows, doors and gates:
Any crush and shear hazard areas, for instance between
the casement and frame or skylight and base, must be
secured against trapping using appropriate measures to
prevent injury. See also the directive for power-operated
windows, doors and gates (BGR 232) and the ZVEI
brochure " RWA Update No. 3, power-operated windows".
Accident prevention regulations and industrial
compensation laws: For works to, on or in a building or
part thereof, the appropriate accident prevention
regulations (UVV) and industrial compensation laws
(BGR) are to be observed.
Environmental conditions: The product must not be
knocked, dropped, or exposed to vibration, moisture,
aggressive vapours or harmful environments, unless the
manufacturer has authorised one or more of these
environmental conditions.
