SAFETY WARNINGS AND GENERAL
1
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 roller that winds up the awning, above all
at the point where the tubular motors are inserted. Screws can damage the motors.
• 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, it must be replaced with reference to paragraph
3.3.2.
• 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.

AND INTENDED USE
Neo Tandem is a range of tubular motors designed exclusively to automate various
types of sun awning (see fig. 16). Any other use is strictly prohibited! The manu-
facturer declines all liability for damage resulting from im proper use of the
product and other than as specified in this manual.
Product functional specifications:
- is a system comprising two inter-dependent tubular motors with the same
motor torque. The motor assigned as "master" has 6 electrical wires for connec-
tions, while the "slave" version has 4;
- the two motors must be installed inside the same winder roller, one positioned
at each end (fig. 4);
- the section of the motor protruding from the roller is secured by means of screws
or the specific Nice support brackets (accessories not supplied in the pack);
- mains-powered (read specifications on motor dataplate);
- designed to move the awning up and down;
- the system integrates a control unit using encoder technology that guarantees
electronic control of movements and limit position precision;
- it is programmed via a wall-mounted keypad (non interlocked buttons) or a TTU pro-
grammer (accessories not supplied in pack);
- is controlled via a wall-mounted pushbutton control panel: it is advisable to use a
momentary or maintained-contact switch with interlocked buttons;
- fitted with a thermal cut-out which, in the event of overheating due to use of the
automation in excess of the set limits, automatically shuts off the power supply and
only restores operation when the temperature returns within the normal range.

PRODUCT INSTALLATION

3.1 - Preliminary checks – Application limit
Before proceeding with installation, perform the following checks:
• CAUTION! – The two motors constitute a "system". This means that
they depend on one another for operation; they cannot be installed
separately on different awnings.
• Check the condition of product components as soon as they are removed from the
packaging.
• Various versions of this product are available, each with a specific motor torque
and each designed to handle awnings with a specific size and weight. Therefore,
before installation, ensure that the parameters for motor torque, rotation speed and
operation time in this product are suitable for automating your awning (refer to the
"Guide to selection" in the Nice product catalogue – www.niceforyou.com). In par-
ticular, never install this product if the motor torque is greater than that
required to move your awning.
• The winder roller diameter must be chosen on the basis of the motor torque:
– 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.
– for "L" size motors (Ø = 58 mm):
the minimum internal diameter of the winder roller must be 70 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.
• Additional application limits include the data provided in the chapter "Technical
Specifications".
3.2 - Tubular motor assembly and installation
Caution! - Before proceeding with assembly and installation of the tubular
motors, carefully read all warnings in paragraph 1.2. Incorrect installation can
cause serious injury.
To assemble and install the tubular motors, follow the instructions in the sequence
shown in figures 2-3-4-5-6-7-8. Consult the Nice product catalogue or the web site
www.niceforyou.com to select the limit switch ring (fig. 2-E), the drive ring (fig. 2-D)
