MANDATORY RISK ANALYSIS AND PROTECTION MEASURES
.
The Nekos electrical actuators comply with the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC),
Standard IEC 60335-2-103 (Particular requirements for drives for gates, doors and
windows) and other directives and regulations indicated in the attached Declarations
of Incorporation and CE Conformity (at the end of the manual). According to the
Machinery Directive, actuators are “partly completed machinery” intended for
incorporation into doors and windows. The manufacturer/supplier of the window is
required, with exclusive responsibility, to ensure the compliance of the entire system
with the applicable standards and to issue CE certification. We strongly discourage
any use of the actuators other than that specified and therefore, in any case, the
supplier of the complete system retains full liability.
For systems installed at a height of less than 2.5 m above floor level or other levels
accessible to users, the manufacturer/supplier of the window must conduct
risk
analysis
regarding potential harm (violent blows, crushing, wounds) caused to
people by normal use or possible malfunction or accidental breakage of the
automated windows, and to implement suitable protective measures in view of
these. Such measures include those recommended by the specified standard:
- controlling the actuators via a “deadman’s button” placed near the system and
within the operator’s field of view, to ensure that people are out of the way during
operation. The button should be placed at a height of 1.5 m and operated by key
if accessible to the public; or:
- use of contact safety systems (also included in the actuators) that ensure a
maximum closing force of 400/150/25 N, measured in accordance with
paragraph BB.20.107.2 of IEC 60335-2-103; or:
- use of non-contact safety systems (lasers, light grids); or:
- use of fixed safety barriers that prevent access to moving parts.
Automated windows are deemed adequately protected if they:
- are installed at a height of >2.5 m; or:
- have a leading-edge opening of <200 mm and a closing speed of <15 mm/s; or:
- are part of a smoke and heat evacuation system for emergency use only.
In any case, moving parts of windows that could fall below 2.5 m following breakage
of a system component need to be fixed or secured in order to prevent them from
suddenly falling or collapsing: e.g. the use of safety arms on bottom-hung windows.
The device is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience and
knowledge. Do not allow children to play with the fixed controls and keep any
remote-control units out of their reach.
The actuator is destined exclusively for installation indoors. For any special
application we recommend you consult the manufacturer beforehand.
