Professional windscreen wiper systems since 1939

3F Windscreen Wiper

110V, 220V, Integrated CAN bus interface, Internal motor, PG.3F series, Straight wiper blades

The PG.3F windscreen wiper for straight lines is fitted with an electric motor featuring an electronic speed controller that can communicate with other devices via the CAN bus. The PG.3F windscreen wiper is designed to ensure the following:

• Two operating modes: continuous and intermittent operation with synchronised arm movement and maximum speed for each windscreen wiper. The operating conditions are stabilised by the speed controller within a wide voltage range.
• Compact motor unit with a specially designed electrical enclosure: it is possible to remove a motor without interrupting CAN bus communication;
• Electronic protection against overheating of the motor unit.

The PG.3F wiper is also available with double arm (type PGD.3F). On request, these systems can be fitted with spray nozzles (PG.ZZ option) and with a heated frame (PG.HOT option).

PG-EXT.LC Windscreen Wiper

110V, 220V, External motor, Integrated CAN bus interface, PG-EXT series, Straight wiper blades

The PG-Ext windscreen wiper for straight lines is a system with an externally mounted motor, housed in a waterproof IP68 enclosure. The motor is fitted with an electronic speed controller that can communicate with other devices via the CAN bus. The PG-Ext windscreen wiper is designed to ensure the following:

• Two operating modes: continuous and intermittent operation with synchronised arm movement and maximum speed for each windscreen wiper. The operating conditions are stabilised by the speed controller within a wide voltage range.
• Low maintenance and high strength for extreme maritime conditions;
• Thanks to the integrated control unit, which contains both an electronic speed controller and a distribution box, the wiring is more streamlined. The control unit can also be used to control auxiliary components such as water/air valves and heating elements for the windscreen wiper blades. During maintenance, the electronic speed controller can be removed without interrupting the CAN bus communication between the windscreen wipers.

The PG-Ext wiper is also available with a double arm (type PGD-EXT). On request, these systems can be fitted with spray nozzles (option PG.ZZ) and a heated frame (option PG.HOT).

EBS switch

ON-ON-ON switch, ESB switch

The ESB toggle switch with three ON positions is suitable for controlling two-speed windscreen wiper motors that do not require dynamic parking.

CT control unit

Multifunctional switch, CT series. The CT control unit is a compact control system for operating one or two windscreen wiper motors. This system is suitable for low-voltage windscreen wiper motors, for both single and dual speeds. The various models differ in the number of windscreen wipers they control and their power output.

PWS operating system

Relay-controlled controller, PWS series

The PWS control system is designed to control windscreen wiper motors with one (PWS.1V) or two (PWS.2V) speeds and a supply voltage of 12 to 30 Vdc. It consists of a control unit and a soft-touch panel that communicates via a CAN bus. PWS has the following features:

The pump or solenoid valves for activating the windscreen washer fluid.

Synchronisation of the windscreen wiper arms’ movement by coming to a seamless halt when the motor first reaches the park position;

Precisely positioned in the parking position thanks to the dynamic braking action of the control unit on the motors;

Overload protection using automatic fuses (PTC);

If necessary, a second panel can be connected to the control unit;

Z-motor

110V, 12V, 220V, 24V, 45 Nm, standard electrical interface, internal motor, windscreen wiper motors, Z series

Z-series motors are generally used in windscreen wiper systems for medium-sized windows (wiper arm length up to 900 mm) on both pleasure craft and commercial vessels. The Z-series motor is designed for:

• Ensure uninterrupted service, even under extreme conditions;

Nozzles

Depending on the type of system, various models of sprinkler heads are available:

Spray nozzles fitted directly to the windscreen wiper: adjustable fan-shaped spray nozzles can be fitted directly to the arm in the case of pantograph and swing-arm windscreen wipers (.ZZ versions), or they can be fitted to the wiper frame, as with straight windscreen wipers. Alternatively, there is a version of the BLF windscreen wiper with direct water distribution via several small holes.

Fixed connectors for pipework: to be connected directly to the water main installed outside above the windows;

Adjustable wall-mounted sprinklers: operable from the wheelhouse. These sprinklers are supplied with a bracket, a bulkhead fitting and a 6 × 4 mm hose holder. A heated version is available. The sprinklers are available with a fan spray (types ENZZ and ENZZ.30, made of chrome-plated brass) or a pin spray (type EZZ.PL, made of black polyamide).

Connections

We offer two different washing machine systems that provide the following ingredients:

• Solenoid valve ;
• Water tanks with a pump or a direct-acting solenoid valve  (if pressurised water is already available): both systems can be controlled via the windscreen wiper control panels. Various sizes and voltages are available.

There are two different types of solenoid valves: instant and pilot-operated . Both can be used with water and compressed air for flushing water pipes. Valves with a diameter of 1/8″G and 1/2″G in various pressure ratings are available from stock. Other diameters are available on request.

Figure 1:  Typical window shapes and possible coverings using anti-glare screens are shown.

Figure 2:  shows an example of a few steps involved in fitting a trapezium-shaped window. Depending on the size of the window, the cassette containing the film-winding mechanism can be one of three types:

Model 069: maximum window dimensions (bottom x height) 3600 x 3000 mm

Model 027: maximum window dimensions (bottom x height) 1800 x 1500 mm

Model 058: maximum window dimensions (bottom x height) 2500 x 2500 mm

The shading factor defines the amount of solar energy that is transmitted from outside to inside through a shaded window, often in the form of secondary radiation. The lower the value, the more effective the sunshade’s reflection; the higher the value, the more heat the film absorbs, making adequate ventilation necessary for optimal performance. The key energy characteristics of each proposed film type were measured using the ASHRAE method with 4-millimetre-thick glass.
