1 SAFETY WARNINGS AND GENERAL
PRECAUTIONS
1.1 - Safety warnings
• CAUTION! - Important safety instructions. For personal safety, it is important
to follow these instructions as incorrect installation could cause serious
injury.
Carefully read the instructions before starting work; if in any doubt, contact
the Nice Service Centre for assistance.
• CAUTION! - Keep these instructions in a safe pla ce to enable future product
maintenance and disposal procedures.
• CAUTION! - All installation, connection, program ming and maintenance oper-
ations must be performed exclusively by suitably qualified and skil led person-
nel in observance of local legislation, standards and regulations and the
instructions in this manual.
1.2 - Installation warnings
• Before starting installation, ensure that this product is suitable for automating your
sun awning (read paragraph 3.1).
• All product installation and maintenance operations must be performed with the
automation disconnected from the power mains. As a precaution, before starting
work, affix a notice on the disconnect device, with the text "CAUTION! MAINTE-
NANCE IN PRO GRESS".
• Before starting installation operations, move all unnecessary cables away from the
area; also deactivate any mechanisms not required for motor-powered operation of
the awning.
• If the product is installed at a height of less than 2.5 m from the floor or other sup-
port surface, the moving parts must be protected with a suitable covering, to avoid
inadvertent access. To fit such a protection, refer to the awning instruction manual,
and ensure that access is guaranteed for future maintenance operations.
• During installation, handle the product with care, avoiding the risk of crushing,
impact, dropping or contact with any type of liquid; do not drill or insert screws on
the motor exterior and do not place the product in the vicinity of heat sources or
naked flames (fig. 1). This may damage product and cause malfunctions, fire or
hazardous situations. If this occurs, suspend installation immediately and contact
the Nice Technical Assistance.
• During installation, never fit screws along the internal roller section subject to transit
of the tubular motor. This could cause damage to the motor.
• Do not disassemble the product in any way other than as envisaged in this manual.
• Never make any modifications to part of the product other than those specified in
this manual. Operations other than as specified can only cause malfunctions. The
manufacturer declines all liability for damage caused by makeshift modifications to
the product.
• The product power cable is in PVC and is therefore suitable for installation exclu-
sively indoors. If installed outdoors, the cable must be laid in protective ducting.
• If the power cable is damaged, the product cannot be used as the cable cannot be
replaced. Therefore contact the Nice Technical Assistance.
• During system set-up, keep all persons far from the awning when moving.
• The product packaging material must be disposed of in full observance of current
local legislation governing waste disposal
1.3 - Operation warnings
• This product is not designed to be used by persons (including children) whose
physical, sensorial or mental capacities are reduced, or with lack of experience or
skill, unless suitable instructions regarding use of the product have been provided
by a person responsible for safety or under supervision of the latter.
• Children in the vicinity must be supervised at all times to prevent them playing with
the automation.
• Never allow children to play with fixed control de vices. Keep all portable control
devices (remote controls) out of the reach of children.
• During a manoeuvre, check the automation and keep all persons at a safe distance
until the movement has been completed.
• Never activate the awning if maintenance work is being performed (e.g. an adja-
cent window is being cleaned). If the control device is automatic, disconnect the
awning from the power supply.
• Always remember to frequently check the balancing springs and cable wear (if
these mechanisms are present). Do not use the automation if adjustments or
repairs are required. In this case always contact a specialised technician to solve
the problem.

PRODUCT INSTALLATION

3.1 - Preliminary checks – Application limit
Before proceeding with installation, perform the following checks:
• Check the condition of product components as soon as they are removed from the
packaging.
• Check suitability of the selected motor by comparing the rated technical specifica-
tions with those of your awning; NEVER install the motor if its specifications
(rated torque, rotation speed and operation time) are not suitable for operation
with your awning. In particular, the motor torque MUST NOT EXCEED that re-
quired to move the awning. Further limitations of use are given in the "Technical
specifications" chapter.
• The diameter of the winding roller must be selected according to the motor torque:
– for motor sizes "S" (Ø = 35 mm):
the minimum internal diameter of the winding roller must be 40 mm;
– for motor sizes "M" (Ø = 45 mm):
– with torque up to 35 Nm (included), the minimum internal diameter of the winding
roller must be 52 mm;
– with torque over 35 Nm , the minimum internal diameter of the winding roller must
be 60 mm
• Before automating a sun awning, ensure that there is sufficient clearance in front of
the awning to enable the envisaged total opening.
• In the case of outdoor installation, ensure that the motor is adequately protected
against atmospheric agents.
3.2 - Tubular motor assembly and installation
Caution! - Before proceeding with assembly and installation of the tubular
motor, carefully read the warnings in paragraph 1.2. Incorrect installation can
lead to serious injury.
To assemble and install the tubular motor, refer to fig. 3. Consult the Nice product
catalogue or the web site www.niceforyou.com to select the limit switch ring (fig. 3-
a), the drive ring (fig. 3-b) and the motor fixing bracket (fig. 3-f).
• Installing the wall-mounted pushbutton panel
Install a control pushbutton panel on the wall, taking care to observe the following:
– select a 2-button panel (Up and Down).
– it is advisable to use a "hold-to-run" pushbutton control panel, i.e. it is necessary
to press and hold the button for the desired duration of the manoeuvre.
– position the pushbutton panel in sight of the awning but far from moving parts.
– position the pushbutton panel to the side of the awning, in the location of the elec-
tric cable from the tubular motor and power cable routed from the electric mains.
– position the pushbutton panel at a height of at least 1.5 m from the ground.
