FOR SAFETY
l Attention! – Important safety instructions: keep these instructions. l At-
tention! – It is important to follow these instructions to ensure safety. There-
fore, read this manual carefully before beginning work.
1.1 - Installation warnings
l 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. l Before
starting installation, read paragraph 3.1 to make sure the product is suitable for au-
tomating your awning. If not suitable, do NOT proceed with installation. l The prod-
uct 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 disconnection device that says "ATTENTION! MAINTENANCE IN
PROGRESS". l Before starting installation, remove all electrical cables unrelated to
the system and deactivate all mechanisms not needed for motorised operation of
the awning. l If the product is installed at a height of less than 2.5 m from the floor
or from any other supporting surface, you must protect moving parts with a cover
to prevent accidental access. Refer to the awning instruction manual for information
on how to provide protection; in any case, make sure access is possible for main-
tenance work. l 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 haz-
ardous situations. In these cases, suspend installation immediately and contact the
Nice Service Centre. l Do not apply screws to the winding roller on the section that
is crossed by the motor internally. Such screws could damage the motor. l Do not
dismantle the product except to perform the operations described in this manual. l
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 mod-
ifications to the product. l 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 electrical cords. l The unit's power cable may not be replaced. If the
cable is damaged, the device must be scrapped. l When assembling the system,
keep people far away from the awning when it is moving.
1.2 - Use warnings
l 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 ex-
perience or skill. l Do not allow children to play with fixed control devices. Keep
remote control devices out of reach of children. l When performing a manoeuvre,
keep a check on the automation and keep all people at a safe distance until the
movement has been completed. l Do not operate the mechanism when jobs are
being performed in the vicinity, i.e. window cleaning, maintenance jobs, etc. Dis-
connect the electrical supply before starting such jobs. l Remember to check the
balance springs and wear and tear on cords frequently (if such mechanisms are
present). Do not use the product if it needs to be adjusted or repaired; contact spe-
cialised technical personnel to solve these problems.

of roller blinds and protective screens (fig. 5). Any other use is absolutely prohib-
ited! The manufacturer is not liable for damage resulting from any use of the
product other than the intended use specified in this manual.
Functional characteristics of the product: l it is powered by the electricity
mains; l it must be installed inside the winding roller; the overhanging face is fas-
tened to the inside of the box with screws and the appropriate support brackets (not
included in the package); l it has a built-in radio receiver and control unit with en-
coder technology that electronically controls the movement and precision of the limit
switches; l it is compatible with all Nice electronic control components (transmitters
and climate sensors) that use the NRC radio system; l it can be controlled by radio
or by cable using various optional accessories not included in the package (see
fig. 3); l it can be programmed via radio, with a portable transmitter or with a Nice
hand-held programmer (these accessories are not included in the package); l it can
move the awning up or down; stop it at the upper limit switch, the lower limit switch
or various intermediate positions; l it is equipped with a thermal protection system
which, in the case of overheating caused by overuse of the automation (beyond the

INSTALLATION OF THE MOTOR AND
THE ACCESSORIES
3.1 - Preliminary checks before installation and
limitations on use
l Check the condition of the product right after unpacking it.
l This product is available in several versions, each with a specific motor torque.
Each version is designed to drive awnings of a certain size and weight. Therefore,
before installation make sure the product's motor torque, rotation speed and op-
eration time are suitable for automating your awning (see the "Guide to Selection"
section in the Nice Product Catalogue – www.niceforyou.com). In particular, do
not install the product if its motor torque is greater than that needed to
move your awning.
l 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.
l If the motor is to be installed outdoors, adequate protection against atmospheric
agents must be guaranteed.
Additional limitations on use are contained in chapters 1 and 2 and in the "Technical
characteristics" section.
