Abstract (en)

The invention concerns a method for opening the cover (2) of an opening element (1) installed in buildings, comprising: a base (3) that delimits an opening (A) made in a building (B); a cover (2) hinged to the base (3); one electric motor (4) for opening and closing the cover (2); manual means (5; 5a) for controlling the electric motor (4); automatic means (6) for controlling the electric motor (4), comprising a first sensor (6') for detecting the presence of rain or humidity, provided with electric heating means (7), and a second sensor (6") for detecting the presence of wind; an independent unit (8) for controlling the cover (2), said method comprising the following operations: verifying whether the sensors (6', 6") are active or not; if both sensors (6', 6") are inactive, starting the electric motor (4) to open the cover (2) completely; if the first sensor (6') is active and the second sensor (6") is inactive, starting the electric motor (4) to lift the cover (2) to a predefined height (X); stopping the motor (4); powering the electric heating means (7) of the first sensor (6'); opening the cover (2) completely if the first sensor (6') is inactive.
