Automated Windows

Automated windows allow integration of passive ventilation into building management systems and also offer an easy way to operate windows that are high up and out of reach.

No More External Motors and Controls

Breezway Altair Louvres can traditionally be automated via external motors and controls attached to remote control compatible handles. This approach to automation requires a third party to supply and install the external motors and linking systems. Breezway now provides a simple solution to automated needs, removing the need to specify multiple products and simplifying the installation process.

Integrated Motor and Gearbox

The Breezway Altair Powerlouvre Window incorporates a motor and gearbox concealed within the Easyscreen Window Frame or within the head section, resulting in an automated louvre window with no visible motors, rods or arms.

Variety of Control Options

Control is possible via wall switches, remote control systems or integration into building management systems.

Frame Options

Altair Powerlouvre Windows are available as a complete Window System within the Breezway Easyscreen Surround Frame, or in component form that can be installed in flat com-mercial frames or timber frames. (See the WINDOW SYSTEM and OTHER FRAMES sections for standard sizes)

Height Restrictions

Altair Powerlouvre Windows are height restricted to a maximum of 18 blades.

Powerlouvre Window Maintenance

Powerlouvre Windows that are 2-9 blades high contain one motor per bay and are wired such that the entire window opens and closes simultaneously.

Powerlouvre Windows that are 10-18 blades high contain 2 motors per bay, one motor drives the blades in the top half of the bay and the other motor drives the blades in the bottom half of the bay. 10-18 Blade high Powerlouvre Windows are wired such that the blades in the top halves of all the bays form a bank that opens and closes simultaneously and the blades in the bottom halves of all the bays form a second bank that opens and closes simultaneously. The top and bottom banks can be operated independantly of each other.

*The Breezway Remote Receiver Unit is used to provide remote control of Component Powerlouvre Windows. Each Remote Receiver Unit will require a single 1.5 amp transformer.

**Powerlouvre Windows that are 10-18 blades high and have remote control capabilities cannot operate both motors in each bay simultaneously so only 0.25 amps are required per bay.

Breezway supplies transformers (as an optional extra) that have been specified to meet the particular requirements of Powerlouvre Windows.

• 240V AC current transformed to 24V DC current.

• 1 amp version suitable for powering up to 4 Powerlouvre motors simultaneously. • 1.5 amp version suitable for powering up to 6 Powerlouvre motors simultaneously. • Built-in overload protection to prevent accidental short circuits from damaging the

transformer.

Transformers

Altair Powerlouvre Windows are compatible with industry standard wiring and automation approaches and can be controlled via a pair of simple bell type wall switches (open and close) through to remote control systems through to complete building automation systems. Various switching configurations are possible to allow multiple windows to be controlled together or individually. When specifying a switching and transformer configuration the following factors should be taken into consideration:

1. The level of control desired by the user

2. The maximum number of motors that can be controlled by a single AC to DC transformer 3. Site issues such as window positions, distance to switches, access within walls etc.

(4)

38

Altair Powerlouvre Window

The most basic way to control Powerlouvre Windows is via a pair of simple bell type wall switches (open and close).

Switches are suggested below but not supplied. It is recommended that non-latching, normally open, bell press switches be used. See your electrical wholesaler for switch options.

All the blades in the top halves of the windows are operated simultaneously by a single pair of switches. All the blades in the bottom halves of the windows are operated simultaneously by a single pair of switches. The top halves of the windows and the bottom halves of the windows are operated independently.

As each switch is distributing power to 7 motors, each of which requires 0.25 amps, a total of 1.75 amps must be supplied to each switch. As the largest single Breezway® Transformer (1.5 amps) will be insufficient for this task, the outputs of two 1.0amp Breezway Transformers

will be wired together in parallel to supply a total of 2.0 amps to each switch. Switches 24v DC 1.0 amp Transformer 24v DC 1.0 amp Transformer 24v DC 1.0 amp Transformer 24v DC 1.0 amp Transformer Switches 240v AC Power Supply 2 1 1 2

Window Remote Control System Components

Powerlouvre Remote Receivers

Concealed within the head of the EasyscreenTM Window System, the Remote

Receivers receive radio signals from hand held Remote Controls. The Remote Receiver acts as a switch, directing power to up to 2 different banks of Powerlouvre motors within each Powerlouvre Window. One Remote Receiver is required per Powerlouvre Window. Each Remote Receiver can have multiple Remote Controls associated with it.

Powerlouvre Remote Receiver Units

When Component Powerlouvres are used, Remote Receivers are housed in a protective plastic casing external to the window instead of within the head weath-erstrip. The plastic casing protects the Remote Receiver from damage due to electrostatic discharge. Either one or two groupings of up to 6 Powerlouvre Motors per grouping can be controlled by each Remote Receiver Unit. (Note: if 2 groupings of Powerlouvre Motors are connected they can only be operated sequentially, not simultaneously). 24V DC Power must be supplied continuously to the Remote Receiver Unit.

Powerlouvre Remote Controls

Hand held remote controls emit radio signals that are received by the Remote Receiver. Their effective range can be reduced by interference from metal and tinted glass or increased by fitting an additional antenna to the Remote Receiver, but in most circumstances will be 10-20m. Remote Controls are powered by commonly available 23AE 12V Alkaline batteries and are shipped with convenient wall holders.

Banks of louvres can be opened or closed with a single click or stopped in an intermediate position. Standard Remote Controls can operate a single window or multiple windows simultaneously. Advanced Remote Controls can operate up to 7 groupings of multiple windows independently.

Each Remote Control can control an infinite number of windows simultaneously provided the windows are installed within range of the Remote Control.

Standard Wiring

As the Remote Receiver replaces the functionality of wall switches, 24v DC power is supplied directly to Powerlouvre Windows with remote control capabilities or Remote Receiver Units. Transformers should be matched to the quantity of motors in the larger of the two groupings of motors connected to the Remote Receiver Unit. 0.25 amps should be supplied per motor in the larger group of each Remote Receiver Unit.

Alternately simply supplying 1.5 amps per Remote Receiver Unit will cover all possible configurations.

Altair Powerlouvre Window

A single window operated by a single Standard Remote Control.

The upper and lower banks of blades can be operated independantly.

The Remote Receiver will never distribute power to all 4 motors simultaneously, it will only operate the window one bank at a time. The transformer is therefore specified as 1 amp as it will need to supply a minimum of 0.25 amps per bay. (2 bays x 0.25 amps = 0.5 amps)

Both motors in a single Powerlouvre Bay are wired together in parallel. All 10 blades operate simultaneously.

Group 2 is not used.

The motor controlling the top blades in the Powerlouvre Bay is the solitary mo-tor wired to Group 1 of the Remote Receiver Unit. The motor controlling the lower blades in the Powerlouvre Bay is similarly the solitary motor wired to Group 2 of the Remote Receiver Unit. The upper and lower groups of blades are operated independantly of each other.

All 4 motors in the two Powerlouvre Bays that are 10 blades high are wired together in parallel to form Group 1 of the Remote Receiver Unit. All 10 blades of both bays operate simultaneously.

The single motors in each of the three bays that are 5 blades high are wired together in parallel and form Group 2 of the Remote Receiver Unit. All bays in Group 2 operate simultaneously.
