WARNINGS AND GENERAL SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS

1.1 - Installation warnings

• All the product installation, connection, 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 (or shutter). If it is not suitable, DO NOT continue with
the installation.
• All the product installation and maintenance operations must be performed with
the automated 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 (or
shutter).
• 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 (or shutter) instruction manual for informa-
tion on how to provide protection; in any case, make sure access is possible for
maintenance work.
• During installation, handle the product with care: beware of hazards such as crush-
ing, impact, falling and contact with fluids; do not drill or apply bolts to the exterior
of the motor; do not install the unit close to sources of heat, or expose it to open
flames (fig. 1). Such actions may damage the product and cause malfunctions,
fire and hazards. If this occurs, stop installation immediately and contact Nice Cus-
tomer Service.
• Do not apply screws to the winding roller on the section that is crossed by the mo-
tor internally. They may damage the motor itself.
• Do not dismantle the product except to perform the operations described in this
manual.
• Do not make modifications to any part of the product except where specified in
this manual. The manufacturer declines all liability for damage caused by arbitrary
modifications to the product.
• The power supply cable for the motor is made from PVC and is suitable for use in
indoor environments. For use in other environments, protect the entire length of the
cable by inserting it inside a dedicated sheath for protecting electrical cables.
• The unit's power cable may not be replaced. If the cable is damaged, the device
must be scrapped.
• When assembling the system, keep people away from the awning ì(or shutter)
when it is moving.
1.2 - Warnings about 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.
• Do not allow children to play with fixed control devices. Keep remote control de-
vices out of children's reach.
• When performing a manoeuvre, keep a check on the automated mechanism and
keep all people 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 cables frequently
(if such mechanisms are present). Do not operate the system if it needs repair or
adjustment; have it serviced exclusively by qualified and specialised technicians.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
Era PLUS H is a family of tubular motors intended exclusively for the automation of
awnings or shutters. Do not use it for any other purpose! The manufacturer
declines all liability for damage resulting from improper use of the product
or any other use than that specified in this manual.
Functional characteristics of the product:
• it is powered from the electricity mains (consult data on the motor dataplate);
• install inside the winding roller; the part of the motor that protrudes from the roller
(electronic head) is fixed to the ceiling or the wall with suitable support brackets
(not supplied in pack);
• it includes a radio receiver and a control unit with a mechanical limit switch;
• 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 (or shutter) up or down and can stop it at the upper limit
switch, or the lower limit switch;
• it is already prepared for the installation of a mechanism which allows you to per-
form emergency manual manoeuvres if there is a black-out or other emergency.
• it is equipped with a thermal protection system which, in the case of overheating
caused by overuse of the automated mechanism (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
limitations on use
• Check the condition of the product right after unpacking it.
• This product is available in several versions, each with a certain motor torque.
Each version is designed to drive awnings (or shutters) of a certain size and weight.
Therefore, before installation make sure the product's motor torque, rotation speed
and operation time are suitable for automating your awning or shutter. To evaluate
this, refer to the chapter called "Guide to Selection" 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 drive your awning or shutter.
• Check the internal diameter of the winding roller. This must be chosen according
to the motor torque, as follows:
– for the motors of size "M" (Ø = 45 mm) and with a torque of up to 35 Nm (in-
cluded), the minimum inside diameter of the winding roller must be 52 mm;
– for the motors of size "M" (Ø = 45 mm) and with a torque higher than 35 Nm, the
minimum inside diameter of the winding roller must be 60 mm;
– for the motors of size "L" (Ø = 58 mm), the minimum inside diameter of the wind-
ing roller must be 70 mm.
• In cases of outdoor installation, make sure the motor and the power supply cable
are adequately protected against atmospheric agents.
Additional limitations on use are contained in chapters 1 and 2 and in the "Technical
characteristics" section.
3.2 - Assembling and installing the tubular motor
CAUTION! - Before starting, carefully read the warnings under sections 1.1
and 3.1. Incorrect installation could cause severe physical injury.
To assemble and install the motor, refer to fig. 4. Also refer to the Nice Product
Catalogue or the website www.niceforyou.com to choose your limit switch cover (fig.
4-a), drive wheel (fig. 4-b), motor mounting bracket (fig. 4-g) and the mechanism
for performing the emergency manual manoeuvres in emergency situations (fig. 4-f).

3.3 - Installation of accessories

After installing the motor, install the accessories, if required. In order to identify those
that are compatible and choose the desired models, see the Nice Product Cata-
logue, also viewable at www.niceforyou.com. Fig. 3 shows the type of accessories
that are compatible and their connection to the motor (all of these are options and
not included in the package).
