Abstract (en)

An electrically operated actuator (10) for operating a window (1), the window comprising a frame (2), a sash (3) being pivotally suspended from the frame (2) by a horizontal pivot axis and, when pivoted, positioned in one of an open position zone (A), a near closed position zone (B), and a visually closed position zone (C). A compressible seal or gasket (5) is provided between the frame (2) and the sash (3) such that it bridges at least a part of the visually closed position zone (C). The actuator (10) is adapted to perform a first closing operation (101) while monitoring an indicator of a closing force applied onto the sash (3) by the actuator (10). The actuator (10) is further adapted to initiate a first reversing operation (102) upon the indicator of closing force exceeding a threshold during the first closing operation (101), and the actuator (10) is configured to initiate a subsequent, second closing operation (104) after the first reversing operation (102). Monitoring of the indicator of closing force is disengaged when the sash reaches the visually closed position zone (C).
