2.3 Safety notes
• Risk of injury or fatal injury! Hands, arms, legs and feet can get trapped and/or crushed in systems driven by an electric
motor.
• Make sure that no parts of the body or objects are within the shearing and locking area of the system.
• This unit can be used by children aged 8 and above as well as by people with physical, sensory or mental difficulties or
with a lack of experience and knowledge as long as they are supervised or have been instructed in how to use the unit
safely and understand the resulting risks. Children must not play with the unit. Cleaning and user maintenance may not be
carried out by unsupervised children.
• For tilt sashes, a safety stay must be mounted in addition to the window drive, which secures the tilting of the window sash
after the lift-off of the drive, e. g. for cleaning windows (arresting position), and secures the sash against tilting down. This
arresting position must be somewhat larger than the opening width of the drive. The safety stay must be mounted before
commencing the installation of the drive!
• Electrically actuated windows and shutters must be constructed in such a way that they do not protrude into access routes
in buildings when either open or closed. Ground-level access openings must be secured against falling.
• If there is a danger of falling glass, the glass used must be laminated safety glass (VSG).
• In automatic operation, the drive is stopped via the limit switch or overload cut-off device.
• Risk of injury or death due to electrical shock or fire. Electric motor-driven systems can overheat and trigger fire.
• Only a qualified electrician may perform any work on the 230 V AC mains power supply.
• Comply with the current local regulations (e.g. VDE 0100 in Germany).
• Strict compliance with the relevant national regulations is required with all work on the voltage supply system or building
wiring system.
• All-pole safety isolation is required when the mains cable is routed on site because the power supply does not have a
separate power cut-off switch.
• Connect in-wall supply lines to the DRIVE axxent DK in branch boxes. These branch boxes must be kept accessible for
maintenance.
• When cleaning the drive, make sure that no liquid enters the device interior, as this could damage the electronics.
• The unit may only be checked by a specialist in the event of a fault.
• Should a solid object or any liquid enter the device interior, cease operation immediately and disconnect the
DRIVE axxent DK from the electricity grid. Then have the DRIVE axxent DK checked and repaired by qualified specialists
only.
• DRIVE axxent DK may not be used as a drive for smoke and heat control systems in windows.
• DRIVE axxent DK must not be used in windows that are intended as escape routes.
• DRIVE axxent DK may not be used in windows fitted with an anti-mishandling device (FBS).
• DRIVE axxent DK may not be installed in window profiles with a groove axis of 9 mm.
• Do not use handles with lock-in position; only removable Si-line handles with Si-line rose.
