The following points should be considered during planning and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Choose the appropriate drive type and power class<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The weight, size, and opening angle of the window sash determine the required drive type and power class. Further details can be found in our article. <a href=\"https:\/\/ventsystems.de\/en\/chain-drive-linear-drive-or-rack-and-pinion-drive-choosing-the-right-drive-type\/\">Chain drive, linear drive or rack and pinion drive? Choosing the right drive type<\/a>. An undersized drive is subjected to greater stress and wears out faster, while an oversized drive unnecessarily increases costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Check the installation situation and fastening.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The drive unit must be mounted to the window frame precisely according to the manufacturer&#039;s specifications and without any play. You can read more about the technical requirements in our article. <a href=\"https:\/\/ventsystems.de\/en\/the-installation-situation-as-a-technical-foundation\/\">The installation situation as a technical foundation<\/a>. In the case of smoke and heat exhaust ventilation systems, it must also be checked whether a building authority approval exists for the specific installation situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Plan for control systems, sensors and power supply<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Electric window drives require a suitable <a href=\"https:\/\/ventsystems.de\/en\/product\/vs-ls7\/\">steering<\/a>, For example, the VS-C24-7A, which converts 230 V AC to 24 V DC. Depending on the application, additional wind, rain, or light sensors from the same range can be added. <a href=\"https:\/\/ventsystems.de\/en\/product-category\/accesories\/\">Accessories<\/a> Connect it to allow the system to automatically react to weather conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Cable routing and maintenance access<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cables should be laid in such a way that they are not subjected to tensile or shear stress when opening and closing. Furthermore, the drive mechanism should remain accessible for future maintenance and functional testing \u2013 especially in the case of smoke and heat exhaust ventilation systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Functional test after installation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After installation, the full opening and closing range should be tested several times to rule out collisions with frames, fittings, or accessories. For smoke and heat exhaust ventilation systems (SHEVS), the required regular functional testing by a qualified professional must also be scheduled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Suitable products:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/ventsystems.de\/en\/product\/vs-ka\/\">VS-KA chain drive<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ventsystems.de\/en\/product\/vs-la\/\">VS-LA linear actuator<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ventsystems.de\/en\/product\/vs-ls7\/\">VS-C24-7A controller<\/a>.
