Safety Measures And Warnings; Product Description - Nice Neomat T Installation

Safety measures and warnings

The present manual contains important safety instructions for
the INSTALLATION and USE of the product.
INSTALLATION:
Incorrect installation could cause serious injury. For this rea-
son, all installation instructions contained in the present man-
ual should be carefully followed during the working operations.
PRODUCT USE:
For the safety of persons, it is very important to follow these
instructions carefully in the everyday use of the product. Keep
this manual in a safe place for future reference.
The NEOMAT-T series motors, versions NEOMAT-MT Ø45 mm and NEO-
MAT-LT Ø58 mm, have been designed for the automation of rolling shut-
ters and awnings; any other use is considered improper and is prohibited.
These motors are intended for residential use. Maximum continuous oper-
ating time is 4 minutes. When selecting the motor based on the applica-
tion requirements, the nominal torque and operating time shown in the rat-
ing plate must be considered.
The minimum diameter of the tube on which the motor can be installed is
52 mm for NEOMAT-MT with torque up to 35Nm, 60 mm for NEOMAT-MT
with torque over 35 Nm and 70 mm for NEOMAT-LT.
The motor must be installed by qualified technicians in compliance with
current safety regulations.
All unnecessary electrical cables must be removed before installation; all
mechanisms not required for motorized operation must be disabled. If the
motor is installed at a height below 2.5 m, all moving parts of the motor
must be protected. For awning applications, the horizontal clearance
between the fully open awning and any stationary object must be at least
0.4 m.
The PVC power supply cable supplied with NEOMAT-T motors is ideal for
internal installation; an insulated tube must be used to protect the cables

1) Product description

The NEOMAT-T series motors, versions NEOMAT-MT Ø45 mm and
NEOMAT-LT Ø58 mm, are electric motors equipped with RPM
reduction and terminating at one end with a shaft on which the dri-
ving wheels can be mounted; see figure 2. The motor must be fitted
inside the winding tube, where it can raise or lower the roller shutter
or awning.
The control unit incorporated in the motor also has a high precision
electronic limit switch system that can constantly detect the position
of the rolling shutter.
The movement limits, awning open and awning closed (as well as
intermediate positions), can be programmed and the awning auto-
matically stops when these positions are reached. The electronic lim-
it switch can also compensate for possible stretching of the fabric
("CAT" function) thereby guaranteeing the perfect closure of the box
and avoid sagging when opened.
The NEOMAT-T motors can be programmed to activate the reduc-
tion of the torque (RDC function) that decreases motor torque by
approximately 50% just before the awning closes completely to pre-
vent excessive stretching of the fabric. The NEOMAT-T motors also
features an "RDT" draw release function that reduces the stretch of
the fabric momentarily after the closing operation has been com-
pleted, to prevent prolonged stretching. The CAT, RDC and RDT
functions have been especially studied to simulate the careful and
meticulous behaviour of a person who opens and closes the awning
manually.
The NEOMAT-T series motors incorporate a radio receiver operating
at a frequency of 433.92 MHz, with rolling code technology that
guarantees high levels of security. It is possible to memorize up to 14
transmitters for each motor in the ERGO, PLANO and NICEWAY

when installed outside, or the specific S05RN-F type cable can be
requested.
The tubular motor must not be subjected to crushing, impacts, falls or
contact with any kind of liquid. Do not perforate or drive screws into any
part of the tubular motor; see figure 1. The control switch must be fixed in
an easily visible location but away from moving parts and at a height no
less than 1.5 m. Do not modify any components unless such action is
specified in these instructions. Operations of this kind are likely to lead to
malfunctions. NICE disclaims any liability for damage resulting from mod-
ified products.
For maintenance and repairs contact a qualified technician.
When the roller shutter or awning is in movement, make sure that there
are no persons within the movement range. Do not activate the awning if
work is being carried out close by, for example: window cleaning; in case
of automatic control, disconnect the power supply as well. Do not let chil-
dren play with the fixed control device and keep the remote controls out
of their reach. Check the balancing springs (if any) and the wear of cables
at frequent intervals.
If the slope of the awning is less than 25% or less than the
value recommended by the manufacturer it should be retract-
ed to avoid water pockets when it rains.
The rolling shutter could be damaged if used when ice has
formed.
Some of the programming phases can use the mechanical
stops of the roller shutter (caps and/or burglar-proof springs).
In this case it is necessary to select a motor with a torque that
is suitable for the application taking into consideration the
effective stress and avoiding excessively powerful motors.
series; see figure 3; that allow the remote control of the motors, or 3
wind and sun radio sensors "VOLO S RADIO" which control the
motor depending on the weather conditions.
The programming of the limit switches and additional functions can
be done directly from the transmitters, with beeps that sound to
guide users through the various phases. It is also possible to control
the motors via an external button (using the Step-by-Step function)
or "TTBUS" Bus. Instead of the Step-by-Step button, a special
F210S photocell can be connected on the TTBUS that detects pos-
sible obstacles preventing the lowering manoeuvre; see the F210S
photocell instructions for further information.
Optional wind, sun and rain sensors can be connected to the weath-
er sensors input that automatically activate the motor when the
weather conditions require.
The NEOMAT-T motors can be programmed with particular func-
tions to resolve specific problems:
• FRT: this function allows to retract the fabric by a programmable
measurement after the awning has been completely opened,
thereby eliminating the unsightly sagging of the fabric when the
awning is open. For further information see table A10.
• FTC: this function allows to motorise awnings that are kept taught
by means of an automatic hooking mechanism such as arbour
awnings. For further information see table A11.
