5. Reliable Performance in All Conditions
Reliability is critical in any automation system — and the YALE AERON Wireless Actuator is engineered for consistent operation over time.
Its intelligent feedback system constantly monitors speed, torque, and position, adjusting performance automatically to match window size and load. If the actuator detects an obstruction, it stops instantly to prevent damage, ensuring both safety and long-term durability.
Core reliability features:
-
Automatic obstruction detection
-
Adaptive torque control
-
Fail-safe closing under adverse conditions
-
Continuous position monitoring for accuracy
These built-in safety and monitoring systems give installers and facility managers confidence that their window automation will perform flawlessly, even in high-traffic or mission-critical environments.
