It would seem that such a simple action as opening a window to ventilate a room cannot be further unified. But modern automation systems have reached the windows. Just a simple press of the control button on the remote control or a once programmed condition can completely get rid of such work.
Many companies producing and installing window systems are increasingly offering their customers such automation. To which many people happily agree. And this is due not to banal laziness, but to increased comfort. Indeed, when you come home after a hard day's work, you don't always want to run to the windows, opening and closing them. Much easier to press the appropriate control buttons. As for offices and industrial premises, such automation of processes is sometimes simply necessary there.
The easiest option is to install equipment on each individual window with its own remote control. In this case, you can control each transom separately. That is, each window will be associated with a separateremote control, and its control buttons will send a signal to the corresponding device. However, this option is not very convenient. Or all windows will work from one remote control, but for the operation of automation, it is necessary to direct the device to each of them when a signal is given.
To fine-tune the operation of window automation, you can install central control panels. They allow you to put the mechanisms into operation not only with the help of the remote control, but also program their autorun in accordance with the specified parameters. For example, by time, by temperature, by fire alarm, etc. The automation start control button is located on the central board. Usually such functionality is included in the Smart Home system.
There are the following types of drives for window automation:
- Chain. This type of device has gained the greatest popularity due to the ease of installation and operation. In addition, they show a good speed, which is about 40 mm per second. In order for the control buttons of the remote control to command the operation of such a mechanism, it is equipped with a radio-controlled module.
- Spindle. Such drives are perfect for automating the opening/closing of windows in confined spaces. The speed of their work can reach up to 40 mm per second. Most often they are used for windows of medium weight, since the force applied by them does not exceed 450N.
-
control button With rack and pinion. This type of window automation devices belongs to the industrial class. This is due to the fact that they were created specifically for the automatic opening of massive windows, transoms and skylights in commercial and industrial premises. They are capable of applying force up to 650N. But the speed indicators for such mechanisms are small and amount to only 8 mm per second.
- Scissor. They are designed to open transoms, are quite easy to use and are able to work with a force of up to 1400N.
- Automatic ventilation systems. This type of device was developed specifically for private use. Thanks to this, they are quite compact and have an elegant look. The window control buttons can be located both on the remote control and on the device itself. Often such mechanisms are equipped with snow, rain, wind and smoke sensors.
