Hazard Information
WinMatic is a technical system which can fail due to various factors.
You should, therefore, take the following notes into account when
using the device:
Do not use WinMatic on windows and doors that serve as
escape routes.
Caution! Important instruction for safe mounting.
Before mounting the window actuator, check that it is in perfect condition.
Check that all the mounting accessories supplied are complete and in good
working order.
Make sure that foreign bodies cannot become embedded between the casement and
the window frame.
After mounting, check that WinMatic is functioning correctly.
WinMatic is not suitable for round arched, segmental
arched or angled windows.
Other notes:
As fixing screws are used to mount WinMatic, there is a possibility that the casement
may become damaged during this process. For rented accommodation, therefore, there
is a risk that a landlord may make a claim for compensation or hold back the tenant's
deposit.
In the context of product liability for the WinMatic system itself, eQ-3 AG does not accept
any liability for consequential damage resulting from actual use of the product, e.g. for
damage caused to a window, etc.

Caution! Notes on safe operation
When the casement is moving, particularly during automatic closing,
do not put your hands between the frame and the moving casement.
Young children must not operate WinMatic unsupervised. When using WinMatic,
particularly when integrating it into system-wide automatic control systems, children
and pets should be supervised at all times (due to the risk of trapping and injuring body
parts).
The device may only be operated indoors and must be protected from the effects of
damp and dust, as well as solar or other methods of heat radiation.
WinMatic battery pack:
Do not throw the battery pack into a fire.
Caution! There is a risk of explosion if the battery is not replaced correctly.
Never short-circuit battery connecting terminals.
Only charge the battery pack with the plug-in main adapter belonging to WinMatic.

Function
3.1
Brief overview
WinMatic can be used on conventional tilting or tilt and turn windows.
The window handle is replaced by WinMatic, which actuates the window
fittings and their locking points (a process that is usually performed by the
window handle). WinMatic tilts the casement by means of a curved toothed
rack that is connected to the window frame.
WinMatic is not suitable for round arched, segmental arched or angled
windows.
The window is locked, unlocked and tilted wirelessly (868.3 MHz) from inside and
outside.
From inside, you can operate the actuator using the buttons available on it.
The window can be operated manually by disengaging the toothed rack and turning the
hand wheel.
Both the hand-held transmitter and the window actuator are battery-powered, so there is
no need for a mains power supply near to the window.
The window actuator features a liquid crystal control display that is used for
programming and also shows status messages during standard operation. This means
that the operator is always aware of the device status.
