Fakro ZWS 12 Z-Wave 24cm Electric Chain Motor Actuator

The Fakro ZWS 12 Z-Wave 24cm Electric Chain Motor Actuator is designed to provide convenient electrical operation for compatible roof windows. It allows windows to open to a controlled width using an electric chain mechanism, making it a practical choice for improving ventilation and accessibility in your home. Whether you need to replace a faulty chain motor on an existing roof window or upgrade a manually operated window to the Z-Wave electrical system, this actuator offers a suitable solution for electrically controlled operation.

Features and Benefits

The Fakro ZWS 12 chain motor is suitable for centre pivot and top-hung roof windows, as well as custom-sized windows. With a 24cm chain reach, it allows compatible windows to open to a specific width, helping to improve airflow and ventilation. The actuator features overload protection with a sensor designed to help ensure the window closes correctly. A separate power supply is required for the motor, so the electrical installation should be planned accordingly. Delivering a 300N force output, the actuator is designed for roof window operation. Its white plastic housing and silver metal chain provide a simple, discreet appearance that complements a range of window installations. This motor is particularly useful when replacing a faulty existing chain actuator or upgrading a manual roof window to an electrically operated Z-Wave system.

Roof Tiles & Fittings:
