The power window closer is a very useful device that automates the closing of windows when the car is armed. It allows you to significantly improve the alarm system and simplify the life of the driver. He won't have to check the cabin for open windows every time he stops.
The power window closer is a mechanism that is installed in the chain break from the glass control buttons to the electric drives. Those. when voltage is applied to open or close the window, the signal first goes to the controller of the automation device, and already from its relay directly to the power window motor. Also, a signaling channel is connected to it to perform the functions assigned to it.
These window closing automation mechanisms are usually classified into two types. It is simple and multifunctional. The window closer of the first type performs only one single function - closing the windows. For many car owners, such meager functionality is quitesufficient. After all, the main thing is closed windows in a parked vehicle. The second type of device has more functionality:
- automatic closing of windows when the vehicle is armed;
- raising/lowering the window;
- simultaneous control of two windows in the same or different directions;
- the functionality of resetting the position of the windows to their original state when the car is disarmed (valid only for a certain time, usually no more than 120 minutes);
- blocking the power window buttons in armed mode;
- glass rollback when an obstacle appears;
- automatic controller setting for various types of power window designs;
- installation of additional control buttons.
Only luxury cars are equipped with such mechanisms at the factory. But this does not mean at all that they cannot be put on other machines. The power window closer is a universal mechanism. It is installed on cars of various brands. Those. it is mounted on the BMW 5th series, and at the same time, the VAZ-2110 window closer may well be installed. He will perform all assigned functions in both cases.
Installation of the mechanism may well be done by hand. You don't need to have any special skills. As mentioned earlier, the power window closeris installed in the open circuit between the control buttons and electric motors. For successful installation of the mechanism, you should understand only the operation of the power windows. And it's not that difficult. The operation of the windows is provided by only two wires. One of them is light, the other is dark. When voltage is applied to the first wire, the glass rises, and the second wire lowers. The power window closer itself is usually located next to the main block of control buttons. In this case, less wiring is required.
These automation mechanisms can be easily found on the shelves of auto parts stores. Any owner of a vehicle is able to afford such pleasure, because. the price of window closers is low. So, a simple mechanism for automatically closing two windows will cost from 250 rubles, four - from 450 rubles. Multifunctional closers can be purchased at a price of 800 rubles. If you don’t want to do the installation yourself, you will have to pay another 1000 rubles.
