3. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the safe and effective operation of the actuator. Consult a qualified professional if you are unsure about any steps.

3.1 Components Check:

Before starting, ensure all components are present and undamaged:

• Actuator unit
• Mounting brackets and screws
• Remote control (if included in kit)
• DC receiver/switch (for 100-240V to 24V DC conversion, if included)
• WiFi switch (for Tuya Smartlife integration, if included)

3.2 Mounting the Actuator:

1. Identify the optimal mounting location on your window frame, skylight, or gate. Ensure the actuator's chain can extend and retract freely without obstruction.
2. Attach the mounting brackets to the actuator unit using the provided screws.
3. Securely fasten the actuator unit, with brackets, to the chosen surface. Use appropriate fasteners for the material (wood, metal, etc.).
4. Connect the end of the actuator chain to the moving part of the window/gate. Ensure a firm and stable connection.

3.3 Wiring:

The actuator requires a 24V DC power supply.

1. If using a DC receiver/switch or WiFi switch, connect the 100-240V AC mains to the input terminals of the switch/receiver.
2. Connect the 24V DC output from the receiver/switch to the actuator's power input terminals. Observe correct polarity (+ and -).
3. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated to prevent short circuits.

4. Operating Instructions

Once installed and powered, the actuator can be operated using the provided remote control, wall switch, or via the Tuya Smartlife app if a WiFi switch is connected.

4.1 Remote Control / Wall Switch Operation:

• Open Button: Press to extend the chain and open the window/gate.
• Close Button: Press to retract the chain and close the window/gate.
• Stop Button: Press to halt the actuator's movement at any point.

4.2 Tuya Smartlife App Operation (with WiFi Switch):

1. Download the Tuya Smartlife app from your device's app store.
2. Register or log in to your Tuya Smartlife account.
3. Add the WiFi switch device to the app by following the in-app instructions (usually involves putting the switch into pairing mode).
4. Once added, you can control the actuator (open, close, stop) directly from the app.
5. The app may also allow for scheduling, voice control integration (e.g., with Alexa or Google Assistant), and status monitoring.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your actuator.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the actuator housing and chain mechanism with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Lubrication: Lightly lubricate the chain and moving parts with a suitable lubricant (e.g., silicone spray) every 6-12 months, or as needed, to ensure smooth operation.
• Connection Check: Annually inspect all electrical connections for tightness and signs of wear or corrosion.
• Mounting Check: Verify that the actuator and its mounting brackets remain securely fastened. Tighten any loose screws.
• Obstruction Check: Regularly check the path of the window/gate for any new obstructions that could interfere with the actuator's movement.
