1. SAFETY INDICATIONS
ATTENTION:
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INDICATIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING
INSTALLATION OF THIS APPLIANCE. THESE INDICATIONS WILL HELP TO AVOID CONTACT WITH
ELECTRICAL CURRENT, INJURY AND OTHER ACCIDENTS. PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE
CONSULTATION.
Series KATO chain operated actuator has been designed exclusively for moving out-
ward opening windows, transom windows, centre-hung opening window sashes, small
domes and dormer windows. Any use of the actuator for applications other than those
indicated must previously be authorized by the manufacturer upon technical verification
of the application.
• The device must only be installed by competent and qualified technical staff.
• After removing all packaging, please verify that all parts of the appliance are present.
• Any plastic bags, polystyrene, or small metallic parts such as nails, clips, etc. must be
stored out of the reach of children as they constitute potential sources of danger.
• Before connecting the appliance to the electricity supply, check that the electricity
supply in use has the same characteristics as those indicated on the technical data
label on the device.
• This appliance is destined exclusively for the use for which it has been designed and
the manufacture cannot be held responsible for any damages incurred by improper
use.
• The chain operated actuator has been designed for the exclusive purpose of internal
installation. The manufacturer must be consulted for any other application.
• Installation of the device must be carried out in accordance with the instructions set
out by the manufacturer. Failure to follow these instructions could compromise safety.
•
Warning:
risk of injury in the event that the window should fall on outward opening
window frames. A safety system should be mounted onto the window to guard
against falls. This system should be able to withstand at least three times the total
weight of the window.
•
Warning:
Check that limit switch selection is less than at least one centimetre with
respect to the mechanical stops, limit switches or any eventual obstacles preventing
opening of the wing.
•
Warning:
this device may cause injury by crushing or dragging. During function,
when the actuator closes the frame, it applies a pressure force of 300N against the
ledge of the casing, and all due measures, care and attention should be taken to
avoid any crushing of fingers.
• Electricity supply installation must be carried out in accordance with regulations in
force.
• To ensure effective separation from the electricity grid, we suggest installation of a
temporary approved type bipolar switch
(push button). A multi-pole main switch with
minimum contact opening of 3 mm should be installed at the start of the command
line.
• Never clean the device with solvents or jets of water. Never immerse appliance in
water.
•
Warning:
in the event of damage or malfunction, switch off the device, disconnect
any electrical connections and request the intervention of a qualified technician.
• Eventual repairs must only be carried out by qualified staff at a service centre
authorized by the manufacturer.
• Always require exclusive use of original spare parts. Failure to comply with this
stipulation could compromise safety and forfeit warranty benefits for the device.
• In the event of trouble or doubts, please refer to your trust retailer or directly to
NEKOS S.r.l.
2. USE OF KATO SYNCRO
Kato Syncro chain actuator is provided with the new Nekos patented system for the
coordinated synchronization of chain movement. Electronic speed control is comple-
tely automatic and don’t need any external control unit; it is sufficient to connect
among them red and white cables already existent on feeding cable (see scheme on
page 11).
How to recognise it
To recognise on sight chain actuator Kato Syncro from other actuators of Kato series,
there are only three details:
• Label with Syncro mark attached near the one which reports actuator technical
data.
• Electrical feeding cable which is with 5 wires (3+2) for 230V a.c. version and with 4
wires (2+2) for 24V DC version.
• Dip-switch on actuator hip has four switches; normal actuator has only two and the
signalling led.
When it has to be mounted
Kato Syncro chain actuator is mounted when are necessary two attach points becau-
se window is particularly heavy or large and a single actuator doesn’t allow the per-
fect frame closure.
Please remind that force executed from a single actuator is the same as from an ana-
logue Kato actuator; so mounting two actuators the force applied on frame is double.
Frame movement occurs uniformly, synchronized and coordinated without interrup-
tions and/or speed variations of two actuators.
In case of one of the two actuators doesn’t run for any mechanical or electrical impe-
diment, the other stops too, guarantying in this way frame integrity.
3. ACCESSORIES
The KATO actuator is packed in one single carton. Each package contains:
• Actuator with 2 metres (
±
5%) lead, 2,5 metres for Kato Syncro.
• Standard support brackets with distancer (A).
• Bracket for vertical assembly of the actuator (B).
• Bracket for transom window (C).
• Bracket for outward opening fixture (D).
• Adhesive template for boring.
• Small parts packaging.
• Instruction manual.
4. ELECTRICITY SUPPLY
Depending on which model is used, the actuator can function on 24V=
(direct current),
with two cables in the lead, or on 230V~ (alternating current) 50 Hz with a three cable
lead.
For the low voltage version, a feeder with an outcoming tension correspondent to the
one indicated on the technical data label attached to the device and which transforms
