An improved window operator has an electrically controlled drive for moving a window between opened and closed positions in response to a command. A plurality of switches are provided for manually or remotely commanding movement of the drive to move the window to a select desired position between the opened and closed positions. A position sensing routine senses actual position of the window between the open and closed positions. The position sensing routine includes a timer for storing a value representing actual position. The value is selectively incremented or decremented at a select rate in response to duration of operation of the drive to move the window between the open and closed positions. The control senses electrical power supplied to the drive. An adjustment routine adjusts the select rate of the timer in response to electric power deviating from a select desired power level. The control compare the desired position to actual position and controls an output coupled to the drive for developing an electrical signal to control the drive in response to a difference between the select and actual positions to minimize the difference.
In a window operator having an electrically controlled drive for moving a window between open and closed positions in response to a command, the improvement comprising:
