8.1. Preparation of actuator for assembly
Before starting assembly of the actuator, prepare the following material for completion,
equipments and tools.
For fixing onto metal window frames: M5 threaded inserts (6 pieces), M5x12 flat headed
metric screws (6 pieces).
For fixing onto wooden window frames: self threading screws for wood Ø4.5 (6 pieces).
For fixing onto PVC window frames: self threading screws for metal Ø4.8 (6 pieces).
Equipment and tools: measuring tape, pencil, drill/screwdriver, set of drill heads for metal,
insert for screwing in, electricians pliers, screwdrivers.
8.2. Installation
Improper use of the mechanisms may result in personal injury or damage to
property.
A correct assembly of this device must be studied beforehand while processing the window or
door, so that mechanical processing on machining tools, such as milling and drilling, is still
possible. Nevertheless, in case of assembly on a finished door or window frame, an expert
technician may be capable of applying the device as long as he has the necessary equipment.
First of all the type of installation, recessed or external, must be chosen; in any case the
material for completion listed above must be prepared.
8.2.1 Milling of the seats for recessed assembly
Determine the plan outline of the electromechanical lock that corresponds with a bolt of
the sliding accessory to be moved, and mark it with a pencil. The plan measurements for
the milling are 335x27 mm; (see drawing below).
Once the outline has been marked, mill the window frame with a minimum depth of 24
mm; a Ø4 mm milling cutter is recommended. Use a drill bit with a diameter
corresponding to the selected clamping screws to drill holes in the two points marked for
fastening the device.
Clean the edges with a shaver or using a fine-grit file to eliminate any burr that could
obstruct or ruin the cables during assembly of the devices.
Check - by overlapping them - that the electromechanical lock is positioned correctly and
the hook (in the closed position) is aligned with the pawl of the closed sliding accessory.
Check that the electrical cable path is free of obstacles, otherwise eliminate them.
Now the window frame can be assembled.

8.2.2 Recessed assembly
Assemble the actuator in the recessed hole made previously on the window frame, taking
care not to damage the cable.
Fix the screws that secure the actuator.
Make the electrical connections following the instructions and diagram provided below in
Chapter 9. “Electrical connection”.
Complete the path of the cables and finish making the electrical connections.
Perform a final test and verify that the device operates correctly on the window frame,
moving the pawl of the sliding accessory sideways.
Power the device and move the pawl to the Open position; the hook of the actuator must
slide towards the center of the machine.
Close the sash of the window or door.
8.2.3 Drilling for external assembly
Determine the drilling points for the linear actuator (the metal one) that corresponds with a
bolt of the sliding accessory to be moved, and mark it with a pencil. The measurements
are provided in the drawing below.
Drill the window frame in the points marked with the diameters indicated in the drawings
and clean the edges of any burr.
Check (by overlapping them) that the actuator is positioned correctly and the hook (in the
closed position) is aligned with the pawl of the closed sliding accessory.
Check that the electrical cable path is free of obstacles; otherwise eliminate them.
Now the window frame can be assembled.
8.2.4 External assembly
Check that the cable path has been prepared beforehand and all the holes have been drilled.
Position the actuator on the window frame and secure it with the screws provided.
Make the electrical connections following the instructions and diagram provided below in
Chapter 9. “Electrical connection”.
Complete the path of the cables and finish making the electrical connections.
Perform a final test and verify that the device operates correctly on the window frame,
moving the pawl of the sliding accessory sideways.
Power the device and move the pawl to the Open position; the hook of the actuator must
slide towards the center of the machine.
Close the sash of the window or door.
