10. 1) MECHANICAL TECHNICAL FEATURES A140 AIR
External dimension
165 mm
100 mm
First height solution
The new Air has two different carters for covering:
The first type in this slide is the one adopted for Compact A100, 100 mm of height

11. 1) MECHANICAL TECHNICAL FEATURES A140 AIR
External dimension
140 mm
Second height solution
The second carter is 140 mm of height
The customer techcnical/aesthetical needs will determinate the selection of one of these carters.

12. 1) MECHANICAL TECHNICAL FEATURES A140 AIR
Example of customer’s need driving carter selection
140 mm
1st sample of 140mm carter:
This carter covers the attaching Break Out System profile

13. 1) MECHANICAL TECHNICAL FEATURES A140 AIR
Example of customer’s need driving carter selection
100 mm
2nd sample of 100 mm carter:
This profile is suggested in case of low roof installation and together with TK20 profiles

14. 1) MECHANICAL TECHNICAL FEATURES A140 AIR
External dimension
140 mm - second solution -
Both carters have Pre-fractures “easy to break” to adapt to the leaf spessor

15. 1) MECHANICAL TECHNICAL FEATURES A140 AIR
Profile for panel
Two panel profiles will be available :
The first expressely made for 140mm carter in order to allign the sliding movement with the fixed panel.

16. 1) MECHANICAL TECHNICAL FEATURES A140 AIR
Profile for panel
The second one to be used with both carters.

17. 1) MECHANICAL TECHNICAL FEATURES A140 AIR
Profile for panel
In this slide the difference of height between the two profiles

18. 1) MECHANICAL TECHNICAL FEATURES A140 AIR
Main profile
Extruded aluminum with fixing holes for vertical and horizontal adjustment (as other FAAC operator)

19. 1) MECHANICAL TECHNICAL FEATURES A140 AIR
Main profile
The NEW sliding trolley guide is realized in a special alloy made with anodized aluminum. The base of this guide is made with a midium-soft gasket in such a fashion to reduce noise and vibrations. 19

20. 1) MECHANICAL TECHNICAL FEATURES A140 AIR
Leaf stopper
The guide fixing is done by two clips which have also the function of leaf stoppers 20

21. 1) MECHANICAL TECHNICAL FEATURES A140 AIR
Wiring housing
In the main profile there are two sections for wiring housing 21

22. 1) MECHANICAL TECHNICAL FEATURES A140 AIR
Trolley
Carrying wheels made by polyamide - Adjustable counter/wheel - Height adj. +/- 7.5 mm with integrated cleaning guide brush. 22

23. 1) MECHANICAL TECHNICAL FEATURES A140 AIR
Drive unit
The new OPEN driving unit assembles in one supporting profile the motor, the control board and its transformer BUT NOT THE IDLE PULLEY.
This OPEN assemble is an universal solution for every free passage dimension,
keeping low yours and ours stock. (930 NSF actually has 4 driving assembles) 23

24. 1) MECHANICAL TECHNICAL FEATURES A140 AIR
Drive unit fixing
Drive unit assemble is fixed to the main profile by using a flat profile with only 3 screws
This flat profile has 2 functions: 24

25. 1) MECHANICAL TECHNICAL FEATURES A140 AIR
Drive unit fixing
1) Make easier the installation procedure
2) Allow an easy disassemble of the unit for maintenance, keeping the same driving unit position on the main profile 25

26. 1) MECHANICAL TECHNICAL FEATURES A140 AIR
Drive module
The following step is to position the idle pulley and the toothed belt.
So the mechanical assembling is completed. 26

Projected for transom made with TK20 and TK50 profiles
Fixing plates
self-supporting profile
The self-supporting profile has been realized in order to allow the installation between two walls, having a full compatibility with TK20 and TK50 profiles.
It can also be part of the TRANSOM in case of customer request. 28

30. 3) NEW WIRELESS FUNCTION KEYBOARD (SDK)
New wireless function keyboard for a simpler installation

31. 4) SOFTWARE Characteristics
The new A 140 software will be similar to that used on the Compact A100
The precise specifications will be supplied just before the sales start 31 31

32. 5) PRICE
The prices of the new AIR140 series automated systems will range between the prices of the 940 series and the prices of the 930 NSF operator. 32 32

33. 6) LAN CONNECTIVITY
Automatic door
The automated systems of the new series can be connected to the LAN network of a building
The resulting advantage is that of being able to manage and control all the existing automatic entries from a computer or a remote site
