KNOWLEDGE OF THE PRODUCT AND
PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
2.1 – PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
"MAX" is a line of Nice s.p.a. tubular motors, designed to automate the move-
ments of roller shutters, awnings and sun screens. TO-MAX is the electronic
element of this line that controls the limit switches and the movement of the
'motor-driven mechanism'.
Any use other than as specified herein is to be considered improper and is
strictly prohibited! Any other use is considered improper and strictly prohib-
ited! The manufacturer denies all liability for damage deriving from improp-
er use of the product and use other than as specified in this manual.
"MAX" is a range of Nice tubular motors, designed for the automation of rolling
shutters, sun awnings and sun screens. These modules are divided into two
categories (Fig. 2); that of the motor-casing, related to the motor only, and that
of the electronic head, related to the component that powers and controls the
"motor-driven" mechanism.
The tubular motor, which is obtained through the assembly of these two com-
ponents (electronic head + motor casing), is installed inside the roller of the
roller shutter/awning and is secured to the wall by means of a "snap connec-
tion" between the outer face of To-Max and a special support bracket.
Thanks to its built-in devices (control unit and Encoder technology), To-Max elec-
tronic head can move the rolling shutter/awning both up and down and control
the intermediate positions. In particular, the encoder guarantees a precise and reli-
able electronic control of all limit switches and roller shutter/awning movements.
The tubular motor is connected to the electrical mains and a wall-mounted
switch (not included in the pack) to enable control of the Up and Down move-
ments of the shutter. The travel limits for these 2 manoeuvres can be pro-
grammed using one of 3 procedures available, depending on the type of shut-
ter to be automated.
To-Max is equipped with a safety system named "Obstacle detection" which
is activated when shutter travel, either Up or Down, is blocked inadvertently by
an obstacle (object, person etc.) or excessive friction (formation of ice, expan-
sion of materials etc.). In these situations, the control unit stops the manoeuvre
immediately and activates a brief inversion of movement.
To-Max is available in various versions, each designed to manage a specific
motor torque (power).
