2.1.
Calculation of opening / closure force
Using the formulas on this page, approximate calculations can be made for the force
required to open or close the window considering all the factors that determine the
calculation.
Symbols used for the calculation
F (Kg) = Force for opening or closing
C (cm) = Opening stroke (actuator stroke)
For horizontal light domes or
skylights
F = 0,54 x P
(Eventual weight of snow or wind on the
cupola should be calculated separately)
2.2.
Maximum opening based on sash
The selection of the actuator stroke should be made based on the height of the sash
and its application. As a general rule, never select a stroke greater than the height of
the window frame; select the stroke directly below it.

The actuator is designed to be recess mounted on the window frame.
Check that during the stroke the chain does not touch the profile of the sash, there
are no obstacles to opening the window and the chain does not push against the
window frame.

3. Technical operating information
The chain actuator is used to open and close the window by means of a three
steel chain
(Nekos Patent)
. The movement is achieved with
SELV) electricity that powers a gear motor controlled by a functional el
device. Window opening can be programmed, and the device allows excursion of
the chain to strokes of 70, 125, 170 and 210 mm. For the return stroke, i.e., the
closing of the window, the stroke
automatically calculates the required power absorption to produce the movement of
the window, and therefore no settings are required. The actuator can also be
installed without the immediate availability of electricity for window movement; in this
case the actuator will simply hold the window closed after assembly. The structure of
the actuator is entirely metal and it is used for room ventilation. The coupling
between the actuator and support brackets fixed to the window frame is a quick
connect coupling that allows the actuator to rotate in order to adapt to the stroke of
the chain, even on windows with reduced height. The brackets are fixed to the frame
during actuator assembly with just two screws. Combined with the
product and perimeter fittings, it constitutes the security lock that keeps the window
closed tight and guarantees a high thermal K.
