WARNINGS AND GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
1
FOR SAFETY
• Attention! – Important safety instructions: keep these instructions.
• Attention! – It is important to follow these instructions to ensure safety.
Therefore, read this manual carefully before beginning work.
1.1 - Installation warnings
• All the product installation, collection, programming and maintenance operations
must be carried out exclusively by a skilled and qualified technician, in observance
of local laws, standards, regulations and the instructions in this manual.
• Before starting installation, read paragraph 3.1 to make sure the product is a suit-
able for automating your rolling shutter. If not suitable, do NOT proceed with instal-
lation.
• Product installation and maintenance operations must be performed with the
automation mechanism disconnected from the power mains. Moreover, before
starting to work, put a sign on the a disconnection device that says "ATTENTION!
MAINTENANCE IN PROGRESS".
• Before starting installation, remove all electrical cables that are unrelated to the
system and deactivate all mechanisms not needed for the motorised operation of
the rolling shutter.
• If the product is installed at a height of less than 2.5 m from the floor or from any
other support surface, you must protect the moving parts by using a cover to pre-
vent accidental access. To achieve such protection, see the rolling shutter instruc-
tions manual; in any case make sure access is possible for maintenance work.
• During installation, handle the product with care: avoid crushing, impact, dropping
or contact with liquids of any type; do not drill or apply screws to the exterior; never
place the product near sources of heat or expose to naked flames (fig. 1). All these
actions could damage the product and cause malfunctions or hazardous situa-
tions. In these cases, suspend installation immediately and contact the Nice Serv-
ice Centre.
• Do not apply screws to the winding roller on the section that is crossed by the
motor internally. Such screws could damage the motor.
• Do not dismantle the product except when conforming the operations described in
this manual.
• Do not make any changes to any part of the product except those indicated in this
manual. The manufacturer declines all liability for damage caused by makeshift
modifications to the product.
• If the product is installed in an outdoors environment, you must protect the entire
length of the power supply cord with a tube that is indicated for protecting electri-
cal cords.
• If the power supply cord is damaged during installation, the product cannot be
used because the cable cannot be substituted and the damage could become a
source of danger. In these cases, contact the Nice Service Center.
• When assembling the system, keep persons away from the rolling shutter when it
is moving.
1.2 - Warnings for use
• This product is not intended to be used by persons (including children) whose
physical, sensorial or mental capacities are reduced, or who lack the necessary
experience or skill, unless suitable instructions on how to use the product have
been given through the mediation of a person who is responsible for their safety,
monitoring and the instructions on how to use the product.
• Do not allow children to play with fixed control devices. Keep remote control
devices out of reach of children.
• When performing a manoeuvre, keep a check on the automation and keep all peo-
ple at safety distance until the movement has been complete.
• Do not start automation when jobs are being performed in the vicinity, i.e. window
cleaning, maintenance jobs, etc. Disconnect the electrical supply before starting
such jobs.
• Remember to frequently check the balance springs and wear and tear of cords (if
such mechanisms are present). Do not use the product if it needs to be adjusted or
repaired; only contact specialised technical personnel to solve these problems.
2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND
INTENDED USE
Era Mat A is a family of tubular motors intended exclusively for the automation of
rolling shutters with or without mechanical blocks at the limit switch points (safety
plugs and rigid anti-intrusion springs). Any other use is absolutely prohibited! The
manufacturer is not liable for damage resulting from the any use of the prod-
uct other than the one specified in this manual.
Functional characteristics of the product:
• it is powered by the electricity mains;
• it must be installed inside the winding roller; the face that overhangs is fastened to
inside of the box with screws and the appropriate support brackets (not included in
the package);
• it has a built-in radio receiver and control unit with encoder technology that provides
the electronic control of the movement and the precision of the limit switches;
• it is compatible with all the Nice electronic control components (transmitters and
climate sensors) that use the NRC radio system;
• it can be controlled by radio or by cable using various optional accessories not in-
cluded in the package (see fig. 3);
• it can be programmed exclusively via radio, with a portable transmitter (this acces-
sory is not included in the package);
• it can move the rolling shutter up and down; stop it at the upper limit switch, the
lower limit switch or at various intermediate positions;
• it has a "obstacle detection" safety system that intervenes when the rolling shutter
is being raised or lowered and is blocked suddenly by an obstacle (an object, a per-
son, etc.) or by severe friction due to ice formation, expansion of the materials or
other causes. In these cases, the motor immediately stops the current operation;
• it is equipped with a thermal protection system which, in the cases of overheating
caused by overuse of the automation (beyond the indicated limits) automatically
cuts off the electricity supply and to resets it as soon as the temperature goes back
to normal;
• it is available in several versions, each with a certain motor torque (power).
INSTALLATION OF THE MOTOR AND
3
THE ACCESSORIES
3.1 - Preliminary checks before installation and
limitations on use
• Check the conditions of the product right after unpacking it.
• This product is available in several versions, each with a specific motor torque and
each designed to drive rolling shutters of a certain size and weight. Therefore,
before installation make sure the parameters of the motor torque, rotation speed
and operation time of the present product are suitable to automate your rolling
shutter (see the section "Guide to Selection" found in the Nice Product Catalogue
– www.niceforyou.com). In particular, do not install the product if its motor
torque is greater then that needed to move your rolling shutter.
• Check the diameter of the winding roller. This must be chosen according to the
motor torque, as follows:
– for motors that are size "S" (Ø = 35 mm), the minimum inside diameter of the
winding roller must be 40 mm;
– for motors that are size "M" (Ø = 45 mm) and have a torque of up to 35 Nm
(included), the minimum inside diameter of the winding roller must be 52 mm;
– for motors that are size "M" (Ø = 45 mm) and have a torque of up to 35 Nm, the
minimum inside diameter of the winding roller must be 60 mm;
– for motors that are size "L" (Ø = 58 mm), the minimum inside diameter of the
winding roller must be 70 mm.
• In cases of outdoor installation, make sure the motor is adequately protected
against atmospheric agents.
Additional limitations on use are contained in chapters 1 and 2 and under the section
"Technical characteristics".
3.2 - Assembly and installation of the tubular
motor
Attention! - Before starting, carefully read the warnings under sections 1.1
and 3.1. Incorrect installation could cause severe physical injury.
To assembly and install the motor, see fig. 4. Moreover, consult the Nice product
catalogue or go to www.niceforyou.com to choose the crown of the limit switch (fig.
4-a), the drag wheel (fig. 4-b) and the motor fastening bracket (fig. 4-f).
3.3 - Installation of accessories (optional)
After installing the motor, install the accessories, if required. In order to identify those
that are compatible and choose the models desired, see the Nice product cata-
logue, also viewable at www.niceforyou.com. Fig. 3 shows the type of accessories
that are compatible and their connection to the motor (all of these are options and
not included in the package).
