No, it is a fully mechanical device that uses a heat-sensitive hydraulic cylinder.
Yes, it is designed for standard greenhouse windows, though some minor adjustments may be needed for specific frame types.

Yes, the metal housing is built to withstand greenhouse humidity and occasional water spray.
Adjust the calibration screw on the cylinder to change the opening threshold.

To install, secure the device frame to your greenhouse window and the supporting structure using the provided hardware. Ensure the window moves freely without friction to prevent damage to the actuator. For maintenance, keep the moving parts free of debris and occasionally lubricate the hinges to ensure smooth operation. Avoid forcing the window shut manually when the temperature is high, as this can damage the internal hydraulic cylinder. In winter months, it is advisable to remove the temperature-sensitive cylinder if the greenhouse is not in use to prolong the lifespan of the seals.
