4. ACTUATOR
4.1aTypes of power supply
The Airwin series of actuators is available in various models in two electrical supply versions:
• 230~ can be supplied with mains power 230~ (50/60Hz) (with a tolerance of ±10%), with a three-core supply
cable: BLUE, neutral common; BLACK, open phase; BROWN, closed phase.
• 24
can be supplied with a voltage of 24V
BLUE, connected to the + (positive) closed; BROWN, connected to the + (positive) open.
4.2 Calculation of the force necessary
Key to symbols F = Force required to open in kg (kilogrammes)
P = Weight of the window (only moveable part) in kg (kilogrammes)
C = Opening travel of actuator in cm. (Centimetres)
H = Height of the openable part of the window in cm. (centimetres)

F = (P / 2 ) x (C/H)
4.3 Pack and tools required for assembling the actuator
F
The actuator is packed individually in a cardboard box. Each pack contains:
Electric actuator, 230~ 50/60Hz or 24
P
hung window, fixing bracket for bottom-hung window, drilling template and instruction manual.
Before starting to fit the actuator, we recommend preparing the following fitting materials, tools and
equipment:.Metre rule or tape measure, pencil, drill/screwdriver, set of drill bits for metal or wood, set of
screw bits, electrical pliers, screwdrivers, screws and/or threaded inserts suitable for the type of window
material. AVOID using self-tapping screws and/or three-lobed screws on any metal windows.
