Safety measures
and warnings
CAUTION! - The present manual contains important
safety instructions for the INSTALLATION and USE
of the product; save these instructions for future
use.
CAUTION! - Incorrect installation could cause serious
injury. For this reason, all installation instructions
contained in the present manual should be carefully
followed during the working operations.
CAUTION! - Follow these personal safety instructions
very carefully.
• The motors in the series NEOMAT-T, on versions NEO-
MAT-MT with Ø45mm and NEOMAT-LT with Ø58mm,
are designed for the automation of sun awnings with
casings; any other use is considered improper and is
prohibited!
• These motors are intended for residential use; maximum
continuous operating time is 4 minutes.
• When selecting the motor based on the application re -
quirements, the nominal torque and operating time
shown in the rating plate must be considered.
• The minimum diameter of the tube on which the motor
can be installed is 52 mm for NEOMAT-MT with torque
up to 35Nm, 60 mm for NEOMAT-MT with torque over
35 Nm and 70 mm for NEOMAT-LT.
• The motor must be installed by qualified technicians in
compliance with current safety regulations.
• All unnecessary electrical cables must be removed be -
fore installation; all mechanisms not required for mo -
torized operation must be disabled.
• If the motor is installed at a height below 2.5 m, all mov-
ing parts of the motor must be protected.
• For awning applications, the horizontal clearance be -
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
tween the fully open awning and any stationary object
must be at least 0.4 m.
• The PVC power supply cable supplied with NEOMAT-T
motors is ideal for internal installation; an insulated tube
must be used to protect the cables when installed out-
side, or the specific S05RN-F type cable can be re que -
sted.
• 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; see fig. 1.
• The control switch must be fixed in an easily visible loca-
tion but away from moving parts and at a height no less
than 1.5 m.
• Do not modify any components unless such action is
specified in these instructions. Operations of this kind
are likely to lead to malfunctions. NICE disclaims any lia-
bility for damage resulting from modified products.
• For maintenance and repairs contact a qualified techni-
cian.
• When the roller shutter or awning is in movement, make
sure that there are no persons within the movement
range.
• Do not activate the awning if work is being carried out
close by, for example: window cleaning; in case of auto-
matic control, disconnect the power supply as well.
• Do not let children play with the fixed control device and
keep the remote controls out of their reach.
• Check the balancing springs (if any) and the wear of
cables at frequent intervals.
CAUTION! - The climatic sensors in the series Volo and
Nemo are not to be considered safety devices that elim-
inate faults on the awning caused by heavy rain or strong
winds (in fact a simple power failure would make auto-
matic movement of the awning impossible). The climatic
sensors should be considered part of an automation
used to safeguard the awning and to facilitate use.
Nice declines all liability for material damage caused by
atmospheric agents not detected by the sensors.
CAUTION! - If the slope of the awning is less than 25% or
less than the value recommended by the manufacturer it
should be retracted to avoid water pockets when it rains.
CAUTION! - The rolling shutter could be damaged if used
when ice has formed.
CAUTION! - Some programming phases use the mechan-
ical stops of the awning roll to stop motor travel; for this
reason it is essential to select the motor with the torque
most suited to the characteristics of the awning roll, con-
sidering the effective force, and avoiding the use of
excessively powerful motors.

Product description
The NEOMAT-T series motors, versions NEOMAT-MT Ø45
mm and NEOMAT-LT Ø58 mm, are electric motors equip -
ped with RPM reduction and terminating at one end with a
shaft on which the driving wheels can be mounted (see fig.
2). The motor is installed by inserting it in the awning tube;
it can move the awning roll for awning ascent or descent.
The control unit incorporated in the motor also has a high
precision electronic limit switch system that can constantly
detect the position of the rolling shutter.
The movement limits, awning open and awning closed (as
well as intermediate positions), can be programmed and
the awning automatically stops when these positions are
reached. The electronic limit switch can also compensate
for possible stretching of the fabric ("CAT" function) thereby
guaranteeing the perfect closure of the box and avoid sag-
ging when opened.
To avoid excessive tensioning of the fabric when the
awning is completely closed, the motors in the series NEO-
MAT-T are fitted with a torque reduction function ("RDC")
which reduces motor torque by approx. 50% shortly before
closure. This function can be disabled via a transmitter (see
4.3.2.) or by means of the special programming units TTP
and OTT-View which enable selection of the reduction on 3
levels: to approx. 50, 40 or 30% of the torque.
The CAT and RDC functions have been especially studied
to simulate the careful and meticulous behaviour of a per-
son who opens and closes the awning manually.
The NEOMAT-T series motors incorporate a radio receiver
operating at a frequency of 433.92 MHz, with rolling code
technology that guarantees high levels of security. It is pos-
sible to memorize up to 14 transmitters for each motor in
the ERGO, PLANO and NICEWAY series; see fig. 3; that
allow the remote control of the motors, or 3 wind and sun
radio sensors "VOLO S RADIO" or "NEMO" which control
the motor depending on the weather conditions.
