• 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 (or awning). If not suitable, do NOT proceed
with installation.
• 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 unnecessary for the
system; deactivate all the mechanisms which are not necessary for the motorised
operation of the rolling shutter (or awning).
• During installation of the system, keep people far away from the rolling shutter (or
awning) when it is moving.
• A list of the mechanical parts required to couple this motor with the rolling shutter
(or awning) appears in the Nice product catalogue.
• 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. Refer to the rolling shutter (or awning) instruction manual for
information on how to provide protection; in any case, make sure access is possi-
ble for maintenance work.
• On sun awnings, a minimum horizontal distance of 40 cm must be guaranteed
between the awning completely open and any fixed object positioned in front.
• During installation, handle the product with care (fig. 2): avoiding the risk of crush-
ing, impact, dropping or contact with any type of liquid, do not insert sharp objects
in the motor, 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.
This may damage product and cause malfunctions, fire or hazardous situations. If
this occurs, suspend installation immediately and contact the Nice Technical Assis-
tance.
• 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.
• Before installing the product, check the technical properties of its power cable.
The product is sold with either a PVC cable or a cable protected by an inner sheath
of polychloroprene. The model with the PVC cable is suitable for indoor installation
sheltered from the elements. If the product is installed outdoors, you must protect
the entire length of the power supply cord with a tube recommended for protecting
electrical cords. Alternatively, use the special model for outdoor installation, with a
cable protected by a polychloroprene inner sheath.
• 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.
• Do not use more than one command device for each tubular motor (fig. 4).
• A single command device may be used for more than one tubular motor (fig. 5).
• To control the product, use exclusively hold-to-run type pushbuttons, i.e. which
must remain pressed for the en tire manoeuvre.
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.
• 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
The product is a tubular motor intended for automating roller shutters, awnings, sun-
shades or similar devices (fig. 1). 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.
The product has the following features:
• it is powered by the electricity mains;
• it allows you to move the rolling shutter (or awning), Raising it and Lowering it using
pushbuttons on the wall (not supplied in pack);
• it has a system which automatically cuts off the power supply if the rolling shutter
(or awning) reaches the limit switch positions set (fig. 3): position "0" (rolling shutter
or awning completely rolled up) and position "1" (rolling shutter or awning completely
unrolled);
• 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 is designed for residential use, i.e. discontinuous. It guarantees a continuous op-
erating time of maximum 4 minutes;
• it is equipped with a thermal protection system which, in the case of overheating
caused by continuous use of the mechanism, beyond the indicated limits, automat-
ically cuts off the electricity supply, restoring 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

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. Each
version is designed to move rolling shutters (or awnings) of certain specific dimen-
sions and weights. 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 (or awning) (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 than that needed to move
your rolling shutter (or awning).
• The internal diameter of the winding roller should be determined 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;
• 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

and 3.1. Incorrect installation could cause severe physical injury.
To assembly and install the motor, see fig. 8. Moreover, consult the Nice product
catalogue or go to www.niceforyou.com to choose the crown of the limit switch (fig.
8-a), the drag wheel (fig. 8-b) and the motor fastening bracket (fig. 8-f).
3.3 - Installing safety devices in the electrical
mains
Install the wall-mounted pushbutton control panel observing the following warnings:
– choose a 2-button control pushbutton panel (Ascent and Descent);
– use a pushbutton strip which works only in "hold-to-run" mode, i.e. keeping the
control key pressed for the desired duration of the manoeuvre. in other words,
when released, the button must return to its initial position;
– position the pushbutton strip in a place that is not accessible to outsiders;
– position the pushbutton strip in a location from which you can see the rolling shutter
(or awning) but are far away from its moving parts;
– position the pushbutton strip on the side of the rolling shutter (or awning) where
there is the electrical cord from the tubular motor and the power cord from the elec-
trical mains (fig. 8-h);
– position the pushbutton control panel at a height of at least 1.5 m from the floor.
