WARNINGS AND GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
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 (or shutter). If not suitable, do NOT proceed with instal-
lation.
• 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 (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: avoid crushing, impact, drop-
ping 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
situations. In these cases, suspend installation immediately and contact the Nice
Service Centre.
• Do not apply screws to the winding roller on the section that is crossed by the mo-
tor 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.
• 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 far away from the awning (or shutter)
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.
• Do not allow children to play with fixed control devices. Keep remote control de-
vices 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.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND
INTENDED USE
Era Fit is a family of tubular motors intended exclusively for the automation of vari-
ous types of awnings and shutters. 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 from the electricity mains (consult data on the motor dataplate);
• it must be installed 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 sup-
port brackets (not supplied in pack);
• 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 using various optional accessories not included in the
package (see fig. 3);
• it can be programmed via radio, with a portable transmitter;
• it can move the awning (or shutter) 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
limitations 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/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 (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 or shutter.
• Check the diameter of the winding roller. This must be chosen according to the
motor torque, as follows:
– for the motors of size "S" (Ø = 35 mm), the minimum inside diameter of the wind-
ing roller must be 40 mm;
– for the motors of size "M" (Ø = 45 mm), with a torque of up to 35 Nm (included),
the minimum inside diameter of the winding roller must be 52 mm;
– for the motors of size "M" (Ø = 45 mm), 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.
• Before automating an awning/shutter, 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.
3.2 - Assembly and installation of the tubular motor
WARNING! – 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. Moreover, consult the Nice prod-
uct catalogue or go to www.niceforyou.com to choose the crown of the limit switch
(fig. 4-a), the drag wheel (fig. 4-b) and the motor fastening bracket (fig. 4-f).

3.3 - Installation of accessories

After installing the motor, install the accessories, if required. Per In order to identify
those that are compatible and choose the models desired, see the Nice product cat-
alogue, 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).
