Field of application
The
APRILUX
actuator is used exclusively for opening and closing top-hung
outward-opening windows and skylight windows.
Use of the actuator for other applications must be authorised by
Aprimatic
and is subject to technical testing of the application.
Description
Electrical actuator with chain and internal magazine. Ideal for top-hung
outward opening and skylight windows with height of at least 50 cm -
230 Volt A.C. functioning - Selectable travel.
APRILUX
is fi tted with a limit micro-switch, a removable terminal board
and a warning light for the window closed position (ref.9-fi g.1).
It is provided with accessories for fi tting the operator to the window.
The chain has been treated with Dacromet for protection against oxidation
under the most severe conditions.

Standard supply
Every
APRILUX
package contains the following (fi g.1):
1
Installation
!
The actuator must be installed by specialised technical personnel.
!
The actuator must be installed when the window is closed.
!
Disconnect the electrical power supply during installation.
!
Check that the hinges and hardware used allow the actuator to
open fully. If not, the hardware may be damaged by the drive or thrust
force of the actuator.
a.
With a pencil, identify and mark the midline of the window (ref.A-fi g.3).
Position the actuator at the distance indicated in fi g.3 ref.B.
attention
: the actuator must be positioned
parallel to the window
.
b.
Drill four holes corresponding to the four actuator fi xing plates holes
(ref.C-fi g.3), using a drill and drill bits with a suitable diameter.
c.
If it is necessary, proceed to the chain travel adjusting (see the relevant notes).
d.
Fix the actuator using suitable screws (rif.C-fi g.3).
Adjusting the travel using a cam
Note: Adjust the travel chain before fi xing the actuator.
The actuator is supplied with the maximum value of chain travel: 319 mm.
It is possible to reduce the actuator chain travel as follows:
Connect the operator to the mains (see paragraph 3) or use the actuator test
cable (cod. 6606500000029) and then:
1. Open the door (ref.8-fi g.2).
2. Power up the actuator, to extract the chain by a length
A
equal to the travel
C
required, as indicated in
Tab. B
.

e.
Close the window, applying a light pressure to guarantee that the gaskets
are sealed. Then screw down the chain front pin complete with locknut
and washer (ref.3and4-fi g.1). Adjust the position of the chain front pin
at the window coupling.
f.
Fix the parts with the chain fi xing pin (ref.5-fi g.3). Ensure that the actuator
reaches the limit switch positions correctly without being obstructed.
NB. The actuator is supplied in the limit switch closed position.
It’s important to block the front pin in position using the locknut and
its washer (ref.3-fi g.1).
Chain travel adjusting for top-hung outward opening windows

,
P
and

.
Calculate the Force
F
necessary for opening the window using the following formule.
Example: if the entire chain remains inside, that is A=0, the travel is 90 mm.
3. Fit the supplied travel setting fi tting (ref.7-fi g.2).
4. Close the door.
Recommendations and safety standards:
-
Aprimatic
products must be installed by specialised personnel with
suitable technical skills.
- Perform the operations as specifi ed by the manufacturer.
- The installer must check the installation and the correct functioning
of the device.
- Do NOT use the product for any purpose other than the specifi ed one.
- Use original spare parts.
- Use the “deadman” command if the window is at a height lower than
2.5 m from the ground.
Warnings:
- Check that the window components used allow the actuator to open fully. If
not, the parts subject to stress or the actuator itself may be damaged.
- Place a “BEWARE of moving parts” strikers near the frame.
- Crushing or trapping hazard! The actuator has a drive and thrust force
of 300N/150N. The hardware and the fi ttings for the accessories must be
able to support these loads.
- The window must have suitable support and safety systems; the actuator
cannot be considered as a support or safety device for the window.
- Do NOT touch the chain when it is moving.
- Keep outside the range of the window’s movements when it is operating.
- The window must be fi tted with safety arms which are suitable for the
weight of the window.
- Disconnect the electrical power supply when installing, adjusting and
repairing the operator.

The calculated value

must result equal or lower than
the value

in the table beside for the travel
C
of your
windows. If the value calculated is superior, it will be
necessary to reduce the chain travel until you obtain
a correct value.
Nb: intermediate measures of the travel are possible beside those
in the table.
Electrical connection
Warning:
injury or death - electrocution hazard. Turn the mains power
off before connecting the actuator.
Warning:
There must always be a multi-polar mains switch with a
minimum contact opening of 3 mm and a differential of 0.030 A upstream
of the actuator control line.
Check the cross-section of the power supply cable: it must have adequate
dimensions for the absorption of the actuator.
Unscrew the two screws indicated in ref.1-fi g.6.
The electrical connections are indicated in fi g.8.
The electrical system must comply with current standards.
N.B.:
To ensure the system is safe, use a spring return push-button (dead man)
or a power supply which is timed for the time required for movement.
Maintenance
At regular intervals (every year), check that the hinges are in good
conditions, check that the actuator is secure on the window and check
the general state of the window.
For perfect functioning, lubricate the chain with silicon grease spray.
If any parts are worn, change them.
At least every 12 months, test the product to ensure the system is functioning
correctly; for special systems, this should be done at least every 6 months.
N.B. Maintenance operations must be carried out by specialised
personnel.
