User Manual-VN1 NEVER connect 24 V DC drives to the 230 V AC main voltages. This could create life threatening injuries. Do not reach into the window rabbet or the operating element (chain or spindle) during installation and operation! Ensure that, based on the installation position and the opening movement of the casement, persons cannot be trapped between the driven part of the window and surrounding fixed components (e.g.

User Manual-VN1 Tilting windows shall be equipped with safety scissors or similar devices to avoid damages and risks of injury for persons through improper installation and operation. The safety scissors must be adjusted to the opening stroke of the drive (see technical data) to avoid blocking. The opening width of the safety scissors must be bigger than the drive stroke.
User Manual-VN1 Electrical installation 2.2.1 Important notice Make sure the cables leading to the motor are rated to handle the maximum current. To reduce the chance of a crushing hazard, we recommend an emergency stop. If you are not using a soft stop on a DC-motor, a short peak of high voltage will be sent towards the ...
