2.02 AUTOMATIC WINDOW SYSTEM

GT 1500 Convenience Window

A.        Mode of Operations: Sliding window shall slide on exterior of building. Sliding window shall be driven by an electro-mechanical operator in conjunction with an electronic control system. The window will be pulled from closed to open and open to closed position stopping the door in both directions by electrically reducing the voltage, stalling the window against a mechanical stop. Opening and closing speeds and hold open time shall be adjustable. A reinforced timing belt shall be used to convert rotating motion from the operator sprocket into horizontal motion of the window. Timing belt shall be spring loaded to maintain proper belt tension. The window’s lead stile shall be flush with the vertical sight line of the fixed panel in the open position. The window operation shall not require any fluids or gases under pressure in opening or closing of the window.

B.             Components

1. Aluminum window, sidelite, operator housing and frame.

2. Rollers-support, anti-riser and guide.

3. Air infiltration and intrusion protection equipment.

4. Gyro Whisperslide power close operator with electronic control.

5. Soft start energy reducer

1a)       Window panel and fixed panel shall be assembled with 3/8-16 threaded tie rods spanning full length of top and bottom rails. Snap-in glass stop with integral extruded vinyl standoff to accommodate glass flexing.

1b)       Operator housing section shall be 5-¾" high (146.06mm) x 4-5/8" deep (117.48mm).

1c)       Vertical jambs shall be: 2" x 5" (50.80mm x 127.00mm), drive jamb shall be 5-½" x 5" (139.70mm x 127.00mm).

1d)             All major extrusions to be .090" (2.29mm) wall thickness.

1e)       All extruded aluminum sections serving as structural members shall be 6061-T6, non-structural shall be 6063-T5.

1f)       Finish: Aluminum shall have a standard finish of AA-M12-C22-A31 (204R1 clear) or AA-M12-C22-A42 (313 dark bronze). Black, painted, and special finishes available upon request.

2a)       The window assembly shall ride on two 1-7/16" (36.52mm) delrin support rollers incorporating lubricated sealed ball bearings. The window shall be held on the track by means of one anti-riser assembly. Each window panel shall include one guide roller assembly incorporating a self-lubricating bronze bushing with a urethane outer shell. All steel brackets and fittings shall be plated for corrosion resistance.

3a)       An adjustable vinyl sweep is located on the bottom of each sliding window for protection from the elements.

3b)       A ¼" (6.35mm) thick pile weatherstripping on the strike jamb, header and vertical stile of fixed sidelite to seal out the elements when window is closed.

3c)       The window shall incorporate a locking system. The lock shall lock into the strike jamb of the window system.

4a)       Gyro Whisperslide power close operator and electronic control: operator completely assembled and sealed unit which shall include gear drive transmission and bearing all located in cast aluminum housing and filled with special lubricant for extreme temperature conditions. Attached to the transmission system will be a DC shunt-wound permanent magnet motor with sealed ball bearings. 1/10 HP motor shall operate from 115 volt supply and require less than 5 amps at full power stall. The electronic control shall be a self-contained unit with transformer, solid state motor protection circuit that de-energizes after 5 seconds (under locked or partially opened-jammed conditions), rectifier, adjustable 2-60 second time delay, adjustable 0-100 second motor power "on" time circuit and other electronic components for proper switching of the automatic window equipment and window speed adjustments. Voltage shall be 115 volt AC with a maximum of 5 amps per power operator.

5)         Soft Start: Energy limiter shall be modular electronic current control for the purpose of controlling torque to reasonably avoid unnecessary stress on entire window package.

2.03 ACTIVATING DEVICES

A.        No Touch Wall Switch, Model NT-100, as manufactured by NABCO ENTRANCES, INC. Shall be supplied to activate automatic window assembly hands free (Optional)

B.        Mat Activators: Of sizes and colors as required shall be manufactured by NABCO ENTRANCES, INC. (Optional)
