PERSONAL SAFETY
MANDATORY RISK ANALYSIS AND PROTECTION MEASURES
The VARIA SLIM BASE 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 must 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.
After removing packaging, check for any damage on the appliance.
Always request exclusive use of original spare parts. Failure to respect this condition
could compromise safety and invalidate the benefits contained in the warranty for the
appliance.
In the event of any problems or queries, consult your agent or contact the manufacturer
directly.
