ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS AND FIRST
POWER UP
The electrical connections must be made only after installing the motor and compat-
ible accessories required.
The electrical cable of the motor is made up of the following internal cables (fig. 3):

4.1 - Connection of motor to electricity mains
Utilise cables 4, 5 and 6 (fig. 3) to connect the motor to the mains supply and pay
attention to the following warnings:
– an incorrect connection may be dangerous and cause damage to the system;
– scrupulously comply with the connections indicated in this manual;
– within the power supply network of the motor, you must install a disconnection de-
vice from the network which has an opening distance of the contacts that allows
complete disconnection in the over-voltage category III conditions, in compliance
with the installation rules (disconnection device not supplied with the product).
4.2 - Connection of accessories to the motor
Use cables 1 and 2 (fig. 3) to connect the accessories to the motor (by cable); refer
to fig. 3, of Chapter 6 - "Optional Accessories" and pay attention to the following
warnings:
– Cables 1 and 2 of the bus lines MUST NOT be connected to the electricity mains.
– You can connect only one compatible accessory at a time to the White + White-
black leads.
– The maximum length of the cables used to connect a wall-mounted panel or a
relay, is 100 m.

PROGRAMMING AND ADJUSTMENTS
5.1 - General warnings
• The limit switch must be adjusted after installing the motor in the awning/shutter
and connecting it to the power supply.
• In cases of installations with more than one motor and/or receiver, before starting
to program, you must disconnect the electricity supply to the motors and receivers
you do not wish to program.
• Comply strictly with the time limits indicated in the procedures: after releasing a
key, you have 60 seconds to press the next key indicated in the procedure; other-
wise, when the time is up, the motor will perform six movements to communicate
cancellation of the procedure in progress.
• During programming, the motor performs a certain number of brief movements,
as a "response" to the command sent by the installer. It is important to count the
number of these movements without considering the direction in which they are
performed.
5.2 - Positions in which the awning/shutter stops
automatically
The mechanical-electronic system that controls the awning/shutter movement at all
times can automatically stop the movement when the awning/shutter reaches one of
the following limit switch positions (fig. 5):
– position "0" = upper limit switch: awning (or shutter) fully wound;
– position "1" = lower limit switch: awning (or shutter) fully unwound;
The limit switch positions can be adjusted mechanically by turning the adjustment
screws (on the top of the motor) using an Allen wrench. For normal operation of the
automation system you need to programme the combination between the UP key
on the transmitter and the direction of rotation of the motor which allows the awning
(or shutter) to be raised. If this combination is not performed, the awning/shutter
can be moved only in the "hold-to-run" mode, i.e. keeping the control key pressed
for the desired duration of the manoeuvre; the movement stops as soon as the user
releases the key. Conversely, if the combination of directions has been programmed,
you only need to press the desired key once to make the awning/shutter move. The
movement will stop automatically as soon as the awning/shutter reaches the speci-
fied position.

5.3 - Overview of the transmitters
5.3.1 - Compatible transmitters
Consult the Nice product catalogue or go to www.niceforyou.com to find the Nice
devices compatible with the radio receiver built into the motor.
5.3.2 - Transmitter memorisation hierarchy
In general a transmitter can be memorised as a FIRST transmitter or a SECOND (or
third, fourth, etc.) transmitter.
A - First transmitter
A transmitter can only be memorised as a first transmitter if no other transmitter
is memorised in the motor. For this memorisation, follow procedure 5.5 (this me-
morises the transmitter in "Mode I").
B - Second (or third, fourth, etc.) transmitter
ac
A transmitter can only be memorised as a second (or third, fourth etc.) transmit-
ter if the First Transmitter is already memorised in the motor. For this memorisa-
tion, follow one of the procedures given in section 5.8.
5.3.3 - Two procedures to memorise the keys of a transmitter
The keys of a transmitter can be memorised in two different and alternative ways,
called: "Mode I" and "Mode II".
• "MODE I" – The memorisation procedure used by this mode automatically and si-
multaneously combines all the available commands on the motor with the available
keys on the transmitter. The rule for performing this combination is as follows:
- key s (or key 1) will be combined with the command UP
- key n (or key 2) will be combined with the command STOP
- key t (or key 3) will be combined with the command DOWN
(if there is a fourth key on the transmitter .....)
- key 4 will be combined with the command STOP
This rule of distribution is set in the factory and cannot be modified. N.B.: – if your
transmitter's buttons are not marked with symbols or numbers, refer to fig. 2 to
identify them.
• "MODE II" – The memorisation procedure adopted by this mode allows you to
manually combine one of the commands available in the motor with one of the
transmitter keys, giving the installer the option of choosing the desired command
and key. At the end of the procedure, to memorise another key with another com-
mand desired, it will be necessary to repeat the procedure once again.
Caution! – Each automation system has its own list of commands that can be
memorized in Mode II; as regards this motor, the list of commands available is giv-
en in procedure 5.8.2.
5.3.4 - Number of transmitters that can be memorised
You can memorise 30 transmitters, if they are all memorised using "Mode I", or you
can memorize 30 single commands (keys), if they are all memorised using "Mode II".
The two modes can coexist up to a maximum limit of 30 memorized units.
5.3.5 - Transmitter to be used for the programming procedures
• In order to perform the programming procedures you must only use a Nice trans-
mitter memorised using "Mode I" (see the procedures in section 5.5 or 5.8.1) or a
Nice hand-held programmer, from among those available. All these devices must
at least have the s, n and t keys.
• If the transmitter used for programming, controls more than one group of automa-
tion units, you must select the "group" to which the automation unit you are pro-
gramming belongs, before actually sending a command during a procedure.
