These instructions are intended for trained personnel and
operators of systems for natural smoke and heat exhaust
ventilation systems (RWA) and natural ventilation via
windows, who are knowledgeable of operating modes as
well as the remaining risks of the system.
This device is not intended for use by per-
sons (including children) with physical,
sensory or mental limitations or lacking experience and / or
knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person who is
responsible for the safety or were instructed by him on the
usage of this equipment. Children should be supervised to
ensure that they are not playing with this device.
Cleaning and operator’s maintenance may not be per-
formed by children without supervision.

By attaching an electric operating drive to
a movable element of a window and con-
necting it to a power supply a so-called
“power-operated window” is created which,
according to the Machinery Directive
2006 / 42 / EG, represents a machine. The
control device is designated for driving such
a window. Where it seems reasonable, these
installation instructions point out sensibly
predictable hazards and risks resulting from a
power operated window.
By connecting the window drives with
a control device and their operation the
constructor of the complete system beco-
mes the manufacturer of the power-ope-
rated window! If necessary, he is obliga-
ted to perform a risk assessment of the
complete system in accordance with the
Machinery Directive 2006/42/EG when
the utilization or operation of the control
device or the connected window drives
deviate from their intended use!
Attention must be paid to possible
hazards when used with tilting or
rotating windows, whose secondary
closing edges are located at less than
2,5 m installation height above the floor,
under consideration of the Control Unit
and usage!

Area of application / Scope of application
This control device is intended for power-feeding and con-
trolling of electromotive operated windows in facade or
roof areas.
The prime task of this product
, in combina-
tion with the electromotive window,
is to evacuate hot
smoke and combustion gases in case of fire
to save
human lives and protect material assets.
Furthermore
, the
electromotive operated window ensures
fresh air supply
for the natural ventilation
of the building.
Intended use
The control device is intended for stationary installation and
electrical connection as part of a building.
In accordance with the attached Declaration of Con-
formity the control device, in combination with electro-
motive drives from
Btr
, is released for its proper use at a
power-operated window for the following use:
• Application for natural ventilation
with an installation height of the drive and
the bottom side of casement of at least 2,5 m above
the
floor,
or
with an opening width at the HSK of the driven
part of < 200 mm by a simultaneous speed of
< 15 mm/s at the HSK in closing direction.
• Application as NRWA (natural smoke and heat
exhaust ventilator(s) in accordance with EN12101-2
without dual purpose for ventilation.
We as manufacturers are well aware of our duties and
responsibilities regarding the development, manufactu-
ring and placing of safe window drives on the market and
consistently implement them. Ultimately, however, we have
no direct influence on the usage of our drives. Therefore,
as a precaution, we point out the following:
• The
constructor or his agent
(architect, specialist
planner)
are obligated
by law
to evaluate the
hazards to persons
, originating from the usage,
installation position, opening parameters as well as
the planned type of installation of the power
operated window and the external Control Unit,
already
in the planning phase and to establish
necessary protective measures
.
• The
constructor / manufacturer
of the machine
“power-operated window”
must implement
the
planned
protective measures
at the installation site
or, if not yet established,
determine them
by theire
own responsibility and detect or
minimize possible
remaining risks
.
