Fakro Conservation Style Z-Wave Electric Centre Pivot Roof Window

The FAKRO Conservation Z-Wave Roof Window system is easy to install, expand and manage, and installation of the system does not require any control units or fitting wires between electronic devices. This means a significant reduction in the cost and time of installation, while providing maximum convenience for the user. It can be installed in buildings under construction as well as in already completed properties.

FAKRO products can be connected across the Z-Wave network: Z-Wave windows, standard roof windows equipped with motors containing Z-Wave modules, ARZ Z-Wave external roller shutters or internal accessories such as AJP Z-Wave, ARF Z-wave or ARP Z-Wave.

The operating principle of this system consists in “mapping out a route” for a signal. For radio waves sent from a controlling device (e.g. remote control) it needs a set route that ensures all commands reach the right device and it performs the correct action. This is achieved through the confirmation of command request which has been sent out by a device, which in this case is a remote control. If there is an obstacle in the way of the radio waves and signal cannot reach the device to which the command was directed, the Z-Wave system searches for “a new route” to a given device.

The new route leads through other devices in the Z-Wave network. It is this feature that ensures high system reliability. This means that the Z-Wave protocol can have a virtually unlimited range as when you send a command with a remote control, it uses other devices in the network, thus contributing to a reduction in energy consumption as well. The whole Z-Wave protocol is contained in a single small chip.
