excl. VAT plus Shipping costs
In brief: The VS-DKA 800 double chain actuator delivers 800 N push force via two parallel chains, in 24 V or 230 V. Because it distributes the force evenly, it is suitable for wide and heavy sashes, fanlights and rooflights.
VS-DKA 800 double chain drive overview
The VS-DKA 800 double chain actuator (24 V/230 V) with 800 N thrust is designed specifically for large windows, skylights and rooflight domes. Two chains working in parallel give the actuator high stability and even force transmission. It is low-maintenance, robust and suitable for ventilation and Smoke and heat exhaust ventilation (SHEV) applications . For use in smoke ventilation systems, the actuator, the window and an approved smoke control panel must be matched to one another and verified for each project – we will be happy to advise you.
Selection, assembly and further information
Double chain drives distribute the power across two chains and are therefore suitable for wide or heavy wings. The guide explains how the different types of chains differ.

Frequently asked questions
When do I need a double chain actuator?
When the sash is wide or heavy. The VS-DKA 800 distributes the force evenly across the sash via two parallel chains. This ensures stability on large windows, fanlights and rooflight domes.
Which voltage and stroke are available for the VS-DKA 800?
The VS-DKA 800 is available in 24 V and 230 V with 800 N of thrust. You select the stroke length in the shop between 100 and 1,400 mm.
How much force does my window need?
That depends mainly on sash weight, opening width and installation position. How to estimate the required force is shown in our guide Calculate thrust.
Product safety
Safety instructions
Carefully read all safety instructions, directions, illustrations and technical data supplied with this product. Failure to follow the operating instructions below can result in electric shock, fire, and serious injury. Keep all warnings and instructions for future reference.
Intended use
– Designed for opening and closing windows and ventilation louvres on building facades and roofs
– Operating voltage: 24 V DC (-15 %/+25 %)
– Suitable for smoke extraction and daily comfort ventilation
– Only for indoor installation
Scope of delivery
– Chain drive
– Various bracket components are available as optional accessories for specific window types.
Requirements for qualification of personnel
All installation, wiring, commissioning and maintenance work on window drives may only be carried out by trained and qualified personnel. Untrained personnel are strictly prohibited from entering the work area.
Pre-installation and Device selection
– Operate the window opener to check it for any transport damage
– Make sure that the load capacity of the selected model corresponds to the actual window weight and wind pressure, and thus, all of the operating requirements
– Check the stability of the window frame and hinges to make sure they can withstand the operating loads
– Always use original mounting brackets and fasteners. For aluminium window frames, rivets or
through-bolts are recommended;
self-tapping screws should be avoided
Requirements for electrical safety
– The power supply of the window actuator must ensure a stable operating voltage of 24 V DC (-15 %/+25%).
Voltage fluctuations outside this range can cause the device to malfunction or
damage the control board
– Use cables of sufficient cross-section in accordance with the technical standard to minimise voltage drop.
Intended use
– The control unit should have an automatic shut-off function that is activated as soon as the chain drive reaches its fully
open position. This interrupts the power supply at the end of the stroke
– Always disconnect the main power supply before cleaning, maintenance or troubleshooting
Safety precautions for installation
– Windows installed at a height of less than 2.5 metres must have reliable anti-trap protection. In
public areas, an infrared safety sensor should also be installed. For floor-level windows, safety ropes
and fall protection are required
– All automatic window drives must carry a clearly visible “Risk of trapping” warning label in a prominent position
– Keep the operating area of the window free of obstacles. Manual controls must be installed so that the
movement of the window can be observed directly
Maintenance and cleaning
– All maintenance work must be carried out with the device completely switched off.
– Power cables and guide rails should be inspected routinely at least once a year. If any
abnormalities are found, stop using the device immediately. Repairs may only be carried out by AF-certified technicians
using original parts. Unauthorised disassembly is strictly prohibited.
– Use a soft, dry cloth to remove any dust or dirt from the surface. Do not use
Cleaning agents or solvents
