PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE

This product is a portable radio transmitter belonging to
the "ERA P" series. It is intended to control automations
with winding rollers such as sun screens, shutters, blinds
and other similar applications. Any other use is improp-
er and forbidden!

Functional specifications

• Models are available for controlling a single group of au-
tomations while others control up to 6 groups; some mod-
els also have controls for climate sensors. • Each model is
equipped with a wall plate, for holding the transmitter. To
install this accessory please refer to fig. 2. • Fig. 1 reports
all the keys which may be on the transmitters, based on the
model. Their use is as follows:
A - "Unit" keys (only in the P6I/U and P6SI/U models): are
required to select the automation mechanism/s to send
the commands to. While memorising the transmitter it
is necessary to programme at least one of these keys,
associating at least one automation mechanism/s to
them. This makes the key a "unit for the reception of
the commands", meaning that the automation mecha-
nisms associated to it will receive the same commands
during the use of the transmitter. The other keys can be
programmed in a similar manner, depending on the re-
quirements of your automation. In effect, it is like having
6 independent transmitters in a single control unit.
B - Command keys (in all the models): are required to
send the rise (▲), stop (■) and lower (▼) commands. In
the P6I/U and P6SI/U models, prior to sending a com-
mand, select the "unit" to send the command to.
C - Control keys of the automatic commands (only in
the P1SI/U and P6SI/U models): key enables the
motor to receive automatic commands from climate
sensors; key disables reception. When is pressed
the system sets the automatic operating mode of the
automation mechanism whereas when is pressed
the system sets the manual operating mode of the au-
tomation mechanism. Note – The "Wind" sensor may
not be disabled since it is required to protect the au-
tomation mechanism from wind damage. With the au-
tomatic operating mode enabled, the user may send
manual commands any time. For more information
please refer to the manual of the automation mecha-
nism and the weather sensor.
D - Programming keys (in all the models): in the compat-
ible motors (e.g. those of the "Era Mat" range), these
keys are required to simplify the performance of the
programming procedures: the PRG key speeds up
the access to the procedures, whereas the ESC key
speeds up the exit from them. To access the keys re-
move the battery cover.
For models P6I/U and P6SI/U: when running the proce-
dures, when you are prompted to press PRG or ESC,
use the number keys to first select the group (or groups)
for which the action commanded by PRG or ESC is in-
tended.

TESTING THE TRANSMITTER

Before memorising the transmitter in the receiver of the mo-
tor, check its proper operation by pressing any key and
observing whether the LED lights up (fig. 1-E). If it does
not, refer to the section entitled "Replacing the Battery",
in this manual.

SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS OF THE TRANSMITTER

• Select a "unit" to send a command to (only for the
P6I/U and P6SI/U models)
With these transmitter models, before you send a com-
mand, you must select the "group" of automations (i.e. the
number key to which it corresponds) to send the command
to. After selecting the unit, its LED remains lit for a few sec-
onds and, before its turns off, it is possible to select other
units to be added to the first selected (to cancel a group
you have selected by mistake, switch its LED off by press-
ing and releasing the respective number key).
After selecting the units desired, when their LEDs automat-
ically turn off, the units will remain in the transmitter's mem-
ory until a new unit/s is/are selected. While they remain in
memory, commands can be sent to them without having to
select them anew each time.
• Enable or disable the reception of the automatic
commands sent from a weather sensor (only for the
P1SI/U and P6SI/U models)
With these transmitter models it is possible to enable or
disable the reception of the automatic commands coming
from any weather sensor connected (for example, the "Sun"
sensor). To manage automations connected to climate sen-
sors, we recommend using a single transmitter with keys
for enabling/disabling the automatic commands.
Only for the P6SI/U model: with this transmitter, before
you enable or disable the function, you must first select
the "group" (or groups) to which you wish to send the set-
ting. While using these transmitters, to check whether the
groups are enabled or disabled, select one group at a time
and observe the Led's:
lit; off = function enabled;
off; lit = function disabled;
Note – If more units are selected and the two LEDs appear
to be off, this means that there is at least one unit which has
the automatic commands enabled.

MEMORISING THE TRANSMITTER

To memorise the transmitter in a control unit (or in a receiv-
er) it is possible to choose one of the following procedures,
compatibly with the presence of this in the manual of the
control unit or the receiver:
A - Memorisation in "Mode I" (also called "Standard mode").
B - Memorisation in "Mode II" (also called "Custom mode").
C - Memorisation of a new transmitter through another al-
ready memorised.
The detailed instructions of each procedure are reported
in the instruction manual of the motor or the control unit
with which you want to make the transmitter work. These
manuals are also available in the website: www.nicefory-
ou.com. Since in the manuals the transmitter keys may be
identified with symbols or numbers, please refer to fig. 1-B
to know the correspondence between these and the trans-
mitter keys.
A - Memorisation in "Mode I" (standard)
There are numerous procedures or memorising the trans-
mitter in this mode. However, when running one of these
procedures, the system automatically maps the motor's
commands to the transmitter's keys. Since this happens
automatically and the installer cannot change the mapping
of keys to commands, the procedure maps each key to a
factory default command.
B - Memorisation in "Mode II" (custom)
There are numerous procedures or memorising the trans-
mitter in this mode. However, when running one of these
procedures, the installer maps a single motor command
to an individual transmitter key. Since this process is man-
ual, the installer can customise the transmitter to suit his
requirements; for example, he may memorise some of the
transmitter's keys in the receiver of one automation, and
others (from the same transmitter) in another automation's
receiver, and so on. Note – Each "Mode II" procedure
maps just a single key to a single command. The proce-
dure must be repeated for each mapping.
Attention! - Each automation mechanism has its own list
of commands that can be memorised in Mode II; there-
fore consult the manual of the motor or the control unit to
choose the command you want to combine with the trans-
mitter key.
C - Memorisation of a new transmitter through an-
other already memorised
This procedure memorises additional transmitters only if at
least one transmitter has already been memorised in the
motor. The procedure memorises the transmitter at up to
20 m from the motor's receiver, using a second transmitter
which has already been memorised in the motor in ques-
tion. The procedure memorises the new transmitter with
the same commands as those mapped on the previously
memorised transmitter.

REPLACING THE BATTERIES

When the batteries run down, the range of the transmitter
is significantly reduced. When pressing any key you will find
that the LED takes a while to light up (= batteries almost ex-
hausted) and that the brightness of the LED is dimmed (=
batteries completely exhausted). In these cases, in order to
restore the normal operation of the transmitter, you need to
replace the exhausted batteries with two of the same type,
observing the polarity shown in fig. 3).
• Battery disposal
Attention! – Exhausted batteries contain polluting sub-
stances; therefore they may not be disposed of together
with unsorted household waste. They must be disposed
of separately, according to the regulations locally in force.

DISPOSING OF THE PRODUCT
