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 suitable
for automating your awning. If not suitable, do NOT proceed with installation.
• The 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 disconnection device that says "ATTENTION!
MAINTENANCE IN PROGRESS".
• Before starting installation, remove all electrical cables unrelated to the system and
deactivate all mechanisms not needed for motorised operation of the awning.
• 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 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 to perform 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 Centre.
• When assembling the system, keep people far away from the awning when it is
moving.

1.2 - Use warnings

• 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 a safe distance until the movement has been completed.
• Do not operate the mechanism 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 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 specialised technical personnel to solve these problems.
2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND
INTENDED USE
Era Mat T is a family of tubular motors intended exclusively for the automation of
various types of awnings (see fig. 5). Any other use is absolutely prohibited! 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:
• it is powered by the electricity mains;
• it must be installed inside the winding roller; the overhanging face is fastened to the
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 elec-
tronically controls the movement and precision of the limit switches;
• it is compatible with all Nice electronic control components (transmitters and cli-
mate sensors) that use the NRC radio system;
• it can be controlled by radio or by cable using various optional accessories not
included in the package (see fig. 3);
• 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);
• it can move the awning up or down; stop it at the upper limit switch, the lower limit
switch or various intermediate positions;
• it is equipped with a thermal protection system which, in the case of overheating
caused by overuse of the automation (beyond the indicated limits), automatically
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 lim-
itations on use
• Check the condition 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 drive awnings of a certain size and weight. Therefore,
before installation make sure the product's motor torque, rotation speed and oper-
ation 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.
• 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
(included), 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.
• Before automating an awning, check that there is enough free space in front of it
for it to be completely opened.
• 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.
