GENERAL WARNINGS
Safety warnings
• During device installation, always strictly observe all instructions in this manual. If in any doubt regarding
installation, do not proceed and contact the Nice Technical Assistance for clarifications.
• CAUTION! – Important instructions: keep these instructions in a safe place to enable future prod-
uct maintenance and disposal procedures.
• CAUTION! – All installation, connection, programming and maintenance operations must be per-
formed exclusively by a qualified technician.
• Do not open the device protection housing as it contains electrical circuits that do not require maintenance.
• Never apply modifications to any part of the device. Operations other than as specified can only cause malfunc-
tions. The manufacturer declines all liability for damage caused by makeshift modifications to the product.
• Never place devices near to sources of heat and never expose to naked flames. This may damage the unit and
cause malfunctions.
Other warnings
• The device is powered by a photovoltaic cell which must be exposed to sunlight. Therefore ensure that the surface
of this cell is kept clean and free of leaves, snow or other elements: clean the surface with a soft damp cloth,
avoiding the use of substances containing alcohol, benzene, solvents or similar.
• Nice declines all liability for material damage caused by atmospheric agents not detected by the device sensors.
• The product packaging material must be disposed of in full observance of current local legislation governing waste
disposal.
1 – PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
This product is part of the series of Nemo climatic sensors. These are equipped with a built-in radio transmitter with
"TTS" encoding and independent solar power supplied by a built-in photovoltaic cell; during the night Nemo uses
the residual power accumulated during the day, thus eliminating the need for connection to the mains power supply.
Nemo is designed for systems used to automate sun awnings, shutters, skylights and similar, which implement Nice
tubular motors with "TTS" radio encoding. Any other use is to be considered improper and is strictly prohibit-
ed! The manufacturer declines all liability for damage resulting from improper use of the product and other
than as specified in this manual.
Product operation is based on real-time readings of variations in wind speed (*) or sunlight intensity. When the value
read by the climatic sensors exceeds (or falls below) the activation threshold set by the installer, Nemo transmits a
radio signal to the automation receiver, which in turn activates an Up or Down manoeuvre, depending on the type
of signal received (above or below the threshold). Up to 3 Nemo devices can be installed on one automation: this
enables data acquisition at different points of the environment.
(*) Note – This function is featured only in the Nemo SCT model.
2 – PRELIMINARY INSTALLATION CHECKS AND PRODUCT APPLICATION LIMITS
• Read the technical specifications provided in the chapter "Product technical specifications" to check the applica-
tion limits of Nemo.
• Ensure that the automation receiver on which Nemo is to be memorised uses "TTS" encoding (refer to the
automation receiver instruction manual).
• Nemo may not be compatible with older motors manufactured before June 2004. Therefore, before installing the
device, check the date of manufacture of the motor connected to the awning to be automated.
• (fig. 1) Ensure that the selected installation site for Nemo is within the transmission-reception range generated by
Nemo and the receiver of the automation to be controlled. Although the range in favourable conditions (open field)
can reach 100 m, as Nemo represents a protection for the awning, a maximum range of 20-30 m is recommend-
ed. Also ensure that there are no other radio devices in the area operating at the same frequency with continuous
transmissions, such as alarms, radio earphones, etc.: these may reduce the range further.
• Ensure that the selected installation site for Nemo meets the following requirements:
– (fig. 2) full and direct sunlight exposure of the sun sensor surface, at all times of day, throughout the year; never install
the product in zones subject to shade from awnings, trees, balconies etc. or below a source of intense artificial light;
2 – English
– (fig. 3) the area must ensure exposure of the wind sensor blades to the same ventilation as that applied on the
sun awning to be automated.
• (fig. 4) Select the type of configuration for the Nemo structure according to the angle of the surface selected for
installation (caution! – the wind sensor blades must be positioned horizontally facing downwards with
respect to the body).
• Ensure that the selected surfaces for installation are solid and guarantee a stable fixture.
• Ensure that Nemo is placed in a position protected against accidental impact with other objects.
3 – PRODUCT INSTALLATION
Caution! – Before installation, read charter 2 with care.
For installation, fix the various parts of the product in numerical order as shown in fig. 5. Then rotate the body of
Nemo until the wind sensor blades are positioned on a horizontal plane as shown in fig. 4.
4 – MEMORISING THE PRODUCT ON THE AUTOMATION RECEIVER
As with any transmitter, Nemo also requires memorisation of its radio code on the receiver of the automation to be
controlled, so that Nemo can send the data of its climatic sensors to the tubular motor "via radio"
To memorise Nemo follow the procedure "Mode I" described in the manual of the tubular motor or associated
receiver. Note – key I (= Stop) on the transmitter specified in this manual is equivalent to the Nemo key "P1" as
shown in fig. 6.
Alternatively one of the following memorisation procedures can be used.
PROCEDURE "A" – memorising the first transmitter
Note – Use this procedure when no radio code has yet been memorised on the tubular motor.
01. Disconnect and then reconnect the power supply to the tubular motor. The motor emits 2 long beeps
(beeeeep);
Caution! – If the motor already contains codes, it emits 2 short beeps on activation (beep!). In this case, fol-
low "Procedure B".
02. (within 5 seconds) press and hold the key "P1" on Nemo;
03. then release "P1" when the motor emits the first of the 3 beeps, confirming memorisation.
PROCEDURE "B" – memorising other transmitters
Note – Use this procedure when one or more radio code has been memorised on the tubular motor.
01. Press and hold the key "P1" on the new Nemo to be memorised, until the motor emits 1 beep;
02. press "P1" slowly three times on an old transmitter already memorised on the motor;
03. then press the key "P1" on the new Nemo to be memorised;
04. the motor then emits 3 beeps, confirming memorisation.
Note – If the memory is full, the motor emits 6 beeps, notifying the user that memorisation of the new Nemo is not
possible.
At the end of the memorisation procedure, perform the following TESTS to ensure correct memorisation.
Note – The tests are performed in real time, without taking into account the standby times in normal operation.
SUN SENSOR TEST
01. Turn the knob "Sun" (fig. 6) ANTICLOCKWISE to the position "Test".
02. Ensure that the green Led emits a series of short flashes (= threshold exceeded) and that Nemo activates a
Descent command (M). Note – If this does not occur, direct a light on the sun sensor.
03. Then darken the sensor so that it no longer receives light and check whether the green Led emits a series of
short flashes.
WIND SENSOR TEST
01. Turn the knob "Wind" (fig. 6) ANTICLOCKWISE to the position "Test".
02. Move the sensor blades and ensure that the red Led emits a series of short flashes (= threshold exceeded) and
that Nemo activates an Ascent command (L).
03. At this point, stop the blades and check whether the red Led emits a series of short flashes: these indicate that
the awning is free from Nemo control and can be controlled according to the times set on the automation.
Caution! – the automation may be set with control disable times. These can be deleted by switching the
automation off and then on.
