Comprehensive source of information about electronic sensors from Roto
Electronic monitoring of windows and doors – intelligent control of housing technical services / Greater security and comfort with “Roto E-Tec Control” / For main doors, Tilt&Turn and sliding systems made from any frame material / Potential-free integration into all standard BUS and smart home systems
Leinfelden-Echterdingen – The demand for windows with wired sensors for security technology and room climate is growing as users become more aware of the benefits offered by the automatic shutoff of housing technical systems. This saves energy by automatically turning down the heating or air conditioning when a window is open. In buildings with burglar alarm systems, contacts check that windows and doors are securely locked. Roto Frank Fenster- und Türtechnologie GmbH (Roto FTT) has now released a compact brochure about solutions from the Drive&Control product range. This showcases solutions which can be used to integrate windows and doors into BUS and smart home systems. The brochure is now available to download from the company’s website and can be accessed at ftt.roto-frank.com/en/bro-dc (in Italian: Drive&Control).

For main doors, Tilt&Turn and sliding elements
The concealed contact elements from the “Roto E-Tec Control” range boost security, living comfort and energy efficiency. They can be easily combined with proven hardware solutions for windows and doors made from any frame material. For instance, they are compatible with Tilt&Turn hardware from the “Roto NX” and “Roto AL” product lines, as well as with the “Roto Patio Inowa”, “Roto Patio Alversa” and “Roto Patio Lift” sliding systems. Optimally coordinated deadbolt switch contacts are available for monitoring main doors equipped with multipoint locks from the “Roto Safe” series.
Potential-free contacts for ease of integration
The “MVS B” contact element, the “Roto E-Tec Control | MTS” magnetic thermostat sensor and the “Roto Safe” deadbolt switch contacts are potential-free, which means that they can be integrated into all standard BUS and smart home systems. This is important for planning and construction practice as the decision to use a particular burglary detection or smart home system is usually made once the windows and main door have already been chosen.
Locking and opening monitoring
The “Roto E-Tec Control | MVS” system detects whether, for example, a window is only pushed to or is actually securely locked when the burglar alarm system is switched on. It monitors the status of windows, doors and sliding elements. The “MVS” contact elements are certified for use in burglar alarm systems with medium to high burglary protection (VdS classes B and C, EN classes 2 and 3).
If a window, a door or a sliding door featuring an “MVS B” contact element is opened, a magnetic field is disrupted and a signal is sent to the burglar alarm system. If this system is activated, a warning signal will be output.
Deadbolt switch contacts for Roto multipoint locks
The new brochure also features the “Roto Safe” deadbolt switch contacts. They are responsible for monitoring locking of the main door and are built into the frame component. If the main deadbolt of the multipoint lock is moved, the contact reports this change to the burglar alarm system.
Energy saving made easy
The “Roto E-Tec Control | MTS” concealed magnetic thermostat sensor ensures greater energy efficiency by indicating to heating and air conditioning systems that a window is open. These are then automatically turned down during ventilation. This is a reliable way of saving energy because sometimes users forget to adjust these systems manually. After the window is closed, they return to the previously defined normal operation.
Space-saving thanks to concealed installation
On timber and PVC windows with hardware from the “Roto NX” range, the “MVS B” contact element can be installed concealed under a striker. This means that enough space remains in the rebate for the required number of locking points, which can be placed in any position. This makes it possible to produce windows which boast resistance class RC 3 and can be monitored by a burglar alarm system at the same time. The hardware, including “Roto E-Tec Control” contacts, can be processed on the standard production line.
Protecting the room air
If extractor hoods are used at the same time as fireplaces or gas central heating systems while windows are closed, the volume of carbon monoxide in the room air can increase without being noticed and the oxygen content can drop to dangerous levels. The “Roto E-Tec Control | DAS” extractor hood control protects people and animals from this danger by automatically interrupting the power supply to the extractor hood when the window is closed.
For all elements and all frame materials
Thanks to the easy-to-install hardware and concealed sensors from Roto, window manufacturers can produce main doors, Tilt&Turn and sliding systems from any frame material with exceptional flexibility. Every element can be planned and equipped depending on the intended use of a room or its position – for example on the ground floor, where the risk of break-ins is higher – while ensuring a harmonious design. Alongside the new brochure, further information is also available on the website ftt.roto-frank.com/en/e-tec-control (in Italian: Roto E-Tec Control).
