1. General• The totally clampable Chrono turn system is available with visible hinges and with concealed hinges.

• The concealed hinges offer the following advantages: - The concealed hinges have the advantage that the hinges are invisible when the window is closed. - The possibility to use a narrow frame profile: aesthetic aspect and glass surface will be larger. - The cleaning of the window frames will be easier because all the corners are easily accessible. - Colour-independent, so reducing stock and increasing cost effectiveness. - No need to remove the inner gasket to mount the hinges. A better acoustic, wind and water tightness is obtained.

- The fully concealed hinges can not be damaged or spoilt during transport, installation or other work to the building.

• The concealed hinges are available in two different versions: - Chrono Invision Pro: fully concealed clampable hinges, which can carry vent weights up to 170 kg. - Chrono Invision Go: fully concealed clampable hinges, which can carry vent weights up to 90 kg.

• All parts are made of non-corroding materials.

Profile dimensions• Chrono hardware is available to suit a frame groove of 14/18 mm or a frame groove of 10/14 mm.

Assembly aid n° 32100-951

• The assembly aid n° 32100-951 consist of 2 parts: - Assembly aid for the bottom hinge n° 32100-951-1 - Assembly aid for the link arm n° 32100-951-2

• The assembly aid parts are tools to simplify the horizontal installation of the vent in the frame. With these tools the assembly on a horizontal table can be carried out by a single person.

Assembly aid n° 32100-951-1• This part blocks the bottom hinge, so that it stays

open at about 80°.

Assembly aid n° 32100-951-2• This part is clipped on the frame profile near the link

arm. The triangle in synthetic material protects the frame against coating damage during assembly and helps to position the vent (in case of large windows).

Installation set n° 32100-952

Short spinner handle

• The short spinner handle in bimetal has an ergonomic handle in synthetic material. The bar is very strong and resistant to common chemicals.

• Finish: chrome.

• Performance: in accordance with ISO 3315, DIN 3122 and NF ISO 3315.

Hinge joint with hexagon• The hinge joint with allen key will remain in a fixed position in order to

reach difficult accessible positions.

• The use of the hinge joint can save a lot of time.

• This tool can’t be used for a frame groove of 10-14 mm.
