ApricolorVARIA230V - ApricolorVARIA24V
Field of application
The Apricolor VARIA actuator is to be used exclusively for opening and closing
bottom-hung, top-hung outward-opening, up-and-over and skylight windows.
It's ideal for bottom-hung and top-hung outward opening windows with height
of at least 50 cm. The use of the product for purposes other than those
allowed is expressly forbidden. Use of the actuator for other applications
must be authorised by Aprimatic and is subject to technical testing of the
application.
Description
1
Electrical actuator with chain and internal magazine. It is fi tted with a
limit micro-switch, a removable terminal board and a warning light for the
window closed position - an overload device which stops the operator
in the event of an overload.
The actuator is also fi tted with accessories and drilling templates for
fi tting the operator to the window and special brackets for top-hung outward
opening and bottom-hung windows.
The chain travel can be adjusted from 90 to 400 mm (is 300 mm by factory).
The chain has been treated with Dacromet for protection against oxidation
under the most severe conditions.
The actuator is available in two model versions:
- ApricolorVARIA 230V (functioning: 230Volt A.C.)
- (functioning: 24Volt D.C.)
ApricolorVARIA 24V
WARNING! ApricolorVARIA 24V is to be used together with CV1, CV10, CF10/2
type Aprimatic electronic control units (pls. see the catalogue).

Installation (fi g. 2 or 5)
2
!
The actuator must be installed by specialised technical personnel.
!
The actuator must be installed when the window is closed.
!
Disconnect the electrical power supply during installation.
!
Check that the hinges and hardware used allow the actuator to open
fully. If not, the hardware may be damaged by the drive or thrust force of
the actuator (see travel adjustment).
a. With a pencil, identify and mark the midline M of the window.
Fit the self-adhesive drilling template 13-fi g.1 or 14-fi g.4 to the window and
drill the holes using a drill and drill bits with a diameter corresponding
to the template.
b. Remove the drilling template. Fit the coupling 11 (for top-hung window) or
the bracket 12 (for bottom-hung window) to the window.
Fit the support 10 to the frame.
NB. Use the supplied screws 4 for aluminium windows. For wood applications, use
diameter 4.8 wood screws with a length suitable for the thickness of the wood.
c. The actuator is supplied with a travel of 300 mm but can be adjusted as follows:
Adjusting the travel using a cam (fi g.3 or 6)
To modify the travel of the actuator chain, connect the operator to the mains
(see paragraph 3) or use the actuator test cable (cod. 6606500000029),
and then:
1. Open the door 15.
2. Power up the actuator, fi nd out the travel setting fi tting 16 (the plastic
insert on the chain) and remove it using a thin screwdriver.
3. Extract the chain by a length A equal to the travel C required, as
indicated in Tab.B. Example: if the entire chain remains inside, that is A=0,
the travel is 90 mm.
Recommendations and safety standards:
- Aprimatic products must be installed by specialised personnel with suitable
technical skills.
- Perform the operations as specifi ed by the manufacturer.
- The installer must check the installation and the correct functioning
of the device.
- Do NOT use the product for any purpose other than the specifi ed one.
- Use original spare parts.
- Use a "deadman" command if the window is at a height lower than
2.5 m from the ground.
- Disconnect the electrical power supply when installing, adjusting and repairing
the operator.
Warnings:
6. 1 Guide cover fi tting
7. 1 Hexagonal nut with washer
8. 1 Cable clamp
9. 1 Terminal board
1 Instructions booklet
13. 1 Top-hung window drilling template
14. 1 Bottom-hung window drilling template
4. Fit the travel setting fi tting 16.
5. Close the door 15.
Note: for bottom-hung applications, adjust the travel before fi tting
the operator.
WARNING! Make sure that the open/close limit switch is working correctly
in order to avoid the risk of possible damages to the motor.
d. Remove the guide cover fi tting 6. Fit the actuator to the support 10. Close
the window, applying a light pressure to guarantee that the gaskets are
sealed. Then screw down the front chain pin 2 complete with nut and
toothed washer 7 and adjust the position at the coupling 11 or at the
bracket 12. Fix the chain with the pin 3.
WARNING! Èit's important to block the front pin 2 in position using
the nut and washer 7.
e. Fix the actuator to support 10 with the securing pin 5. Ensure that the actuator
reaches the limit switch positions correctly without being obstructed.
NB. The actuator is supplied in the limit switch closed position.
Chain travel adjusting for top-hung outward opening windows
Find your window data H, P and C.
Calculate the Force F necessary for opening the window using the following
formule.
P
H
F
C
The calculated value F must result equal or lower than
the value F in the table beside for the travel C of your
windows. If the value calculated is superior, it will be
necessary to reduce the chain travel until you obtain
a correct value.
Nb: intermediate measures of the travel are possible
beside those in the table.
Nb: for the bottom-hung applications the force of the actuator is
always 300 N.
Electrical connection (fi g.7 and 9)
3
Warning: injury or death - electrocution hazard.
Disconnect the power supply to the actuators before connecting the
actuators or the system.
Warning: There must always be a multi-polar mains switch with a
minimum contact opening of 3 mm and a differential of 0.030 A upstream
of the actuator control line.
Check the cross-section of the power supply cable: it must have adequate
dimensions for the absorption of the actuator.
Unscrew the two screws 17.
The electrical connections as indicated in fi g.9.
The electrical system must comply with current standards.
Nb: To ensure the system is safe, use a spring return push-button
(dead man) or a power supply which is timed for the time required
for movement.
Maintenance
4
At regular intervals (every year), check that the hinges are in good
condition, check that the operator is secure on the window and check the
general state of the window. For perfect functioning, lubricate the chain
with silicon grease spray. If any parts are worn, change them.
At least every 12 months, test the product to ensure the system is
functioning correctly; for special systems, this should be done at least
every 6 months.
Nb: Maintenance operations must be carried out by specialised personnel.
- The actuator has a drive and thrust force of 300N/150N.
- The hardware and the fittings for the accessories must be able to
support these loads.
- The window must have suitable support and safety systems; the
actuator cannot be considered as a support or safety device for
the window.
- The window must be fi tted with safety arms which are suitable for
the weight of the window.
- Check that the window components used allow the actuator to open fully.
If not, the parts subject to stress or the actuator itself may be damaged.
- Crushing or trapping hazard! Place a "BEWARE of moving parts" strikers
near the frame.
- Keep outside the range of the window's movements when it is operating.
- Do NOT touch the chain when it is moving.
