Warnings:
The "NEOMAT" series motors have been designed for the automation of
awnings; any other use is considered improper and is prohibited.
These motors are intended for residential use. Maximum continuous oper-
ating time is 4 minutes with a 20% cycle. When selecting the type of motor
based on the application, you should consider the nominal torque and the
operating time shown on the rating plate. The minimum diameter of the
tube in which the motor can be installed is 40 mm for NEOMAT ST, 52 mm
for NEOMAT MT and 70 mm for NEOMAT LT. The motor must be installed
by qualified personnel in compliance with current safety regulations.
1) Product description
The NEOMAT ST Ø35mm, NEOMAT MT Ø45mm (fig.2) and NEO-
MAT LTØ58mm tubular motors feature an electronic control unit with
incorporated radio receiver, operating at a frequency of 433.92 MHz,
with rolling code technology, to guarantee high levels of security. Up
to 14 "ERGO" and "PLANO" series radio controls (fig.3) or radio-sen-
sors can be memorised for each motor.
The control unit incorporated in the motor is also equipped with a
high precision electronic limit switch system capable of continuous-
ly monitoring the position of the awning. The range of movement, i.e.
the closed/open positions (plus any intermediate positions) can be
programmed and memorised; after each command, the movement
stops automatically when these positions are reached.
The electronic limit switch can compensate for any stretching of the
fabric ("CAT" function), guaranteeing the perfect closure of the shut-
ter box and preventing any slack in the fabric when the awning is
open. The NEOMAT motors can be programmed for "RDC" torque
2) Installation
Proceed as follows to prepare the motor (fig. 5):
1. Position the idle ring nut (E) on the motor (A) until it fits into the
corresponding idle ring (F).
2. Mount the draw ring nut (D) on the motor shaft.
On NEOMAT ST the ring nut snaps on automatically.
3. On NEOMAT MT, fasten the draw ring nut with the snap ring.
Fit the assembled motor into the awning's winding tube until it
touches the end of the idle ring nut (E). Fasten the tube to the draw
ring nut (D) using the M4x10 screw in order to prevent the motor
2.1) Electrical connections
WARNING: For motor connections, an omnipolar discon-
!
necting device with a 3-mm minimum distance between
contacts must be provided for disconnection from the mains
power supply (disconnecting switch or plug and socket, etc.).
WARNING: carefully follow all the connection instructions.
!
If you have any doubts do not make experiments but con-
sult the relevant technical specifications sheets which are
also available on the web site "www.niceforyou.com".

Minimum installation height is 2.5 m from the ground or floor. Easy access
must in any case be ensured. The horizontal clearance between the fully
open awning and any stationary object must be at least 0.4 m. In the case
of units for outdoor use the PVC power cable must be installed inside a
protection duct. The tubular motor must not be subjected to crushing,
impacts, falls or contact with any kind of liquid. Do not perforate or drive
screws into any part of the tubular motor (fig. 1). For maintenance and
repairs contact a qualified technician (fig. 1).
reduction, a function that decreases motor torque by approximately
50% just before the awning closes completely to prevent excessive
stretching of the fabric. NEOMAT also features an "RDT" draw
release function that reduces the stretch of the fabric momentarily
after the closing operation has been completed, to prevent pro-
longed stretching.
The CAT, RDC and RDT functions have been especially studied to
simulate the careful and meticulous behaviour of a person who
opens and closes the awning manually.
The range of movement and a few additional functions can be pro-
grammed through the radio controls. A beep will sound to guide the
various phases. The motors can also be controlled through an exter-
nal button (with step-by-step function) or a Bus ("TTBUS").
Optional wind, sun and rain sensors activate the system automati-
cally whenever the weather conditions demand it.

from slipping or sliding axially (fig. 6). Finally, secure the motor head
to the special support (C) with the spacer (if any), using the clips or
split pin (B).
An incorrect connection may be dangerous and cause
damage to the system.
The cable used for the electrical connections of the NEOMAT MT
motor has 6 wires:
• Supply line from the power mains: Phase, Neutral and Earth.
• Extra low voltage control signals (SELV): Step-by-step or
"TTBUS" Bus and weather sensors.
