a) Requirements on the door:
Thedoorlockactuatorisenvisagedformountingonconventionalatdoors,housedoors,side
entrancedoorsorsimilarwhichhaveareplaceablestandardcylinderlock.
Thedoorlockactuatorcanonlybeusedondoorsthedoorleafhinges,locks,cylinderlocksor
latchesofwhichfunctioneasilyanddonotjam.
Please note:
 • Doors,thecylinderlocks/locksofwhichcanonlybeoperatedbypressing,pulling,
lifting,loweringortwistingthedoorarenotsuitableforoperationwiththedoorlock
actuator!
 • Woodisanaturalmaterialthebehaviourofwhichisdependentontheweather
(”woodworks”). Woodendoors canthereforewarpunder the inuenceofdirect
sunlight,severecoldordampnesswhichcanmakethefunctionofthedoorlock
actuatordifcultor,indeed,impossible.
  Inthecaseofplasticoraluminiumdoors,suchproblemsariseonlyseldom.Nev-
ertheless,considerationshouldbegiventothefactthatdoorswhicharemounted
ontheoutsideofbuildings(e.g.houseentrancedoors)aresubjecttoenormous
climaticuctuationinclimate.Thereismostlyaneventemperatureontheinsideof
ahousewhichiscontrarytotheclimateontheoutside.
  Itcanthereforenotberuledoutthatthereareclimaticconditionsunderwhichthe
doorlockactuatordoesnotfunctionbecauseitcannotsurmounttheforceswhich
thewarpeddoor(andthusthelock)requireswhenopeningorclosingit.
 • Makessure,beforeusingthedoorlockactuator,thatthedoorcanbelockedand
unlockedeasilyunderallclimaticconditionsprevailingatthelocation.
 • Testthefunctionofthedoorandlockbylockingandunlockingthedoorlockmerely
byturningthekeyinthelockwithouttouchingthedoorordoorhandlethereby.
 • Adjustthedoorhingesand/orthelockingplateinthedoorframeinsuchamanner
thatlockingandunlockingtakesplaceeasilyasdescribedabove.
  Dependingonthedoor,itispossiblethataspecialistorspecialtoolsareneces-
sary!
  Thisapplies above all for doors withmultiple locks, special locksor alarm sys-
tems.
 • Tousetheopeningfunctionofthe”CFA1000”system,thedoorsealshavetobe
composedinsuchamannerthatthedooropensalittleitselfafterbeingunlocked
fullybyexpandingthedoorseal(thehingesofthedooralsohavetofunctioneas-
ily).
  Fordoorswithanautomaticdoorcloser,thedooropeningfunctionofthe”CFA1000”
cannotbeused.
