SAFETY
MANDATORY RISK ANALYSIS AND PROTECTION MEASURES
The RACK MAX 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 UE 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 of the whole. 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 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
