GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
AND PRECAUTIONS
1.1 - Safety warnings
• 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.
1.2 - Installation warnings
• Before installation, ensure that this product is suitable for automation of your shut-
ter (read paragraph 3.1). If not suitable, do NOT proceed with installation.
• All product installation and maintenance operations must be performed with the
automation disconnected from the power mains. As a precaution, before starting
work, affix a notice on the disconnect device, with the text "CAUTION! MAINTE-
NANCE IN PROGRESS".
• Before starting installation operations, move all unnecessary cables away from the
area; also deactivate any mechanisms not required for motor-powered operation of
the shutter.
• If the product is installed at a height of less than 2.5 m from the floor, or other sup-
port surface, the automation moving parts must be protected with a suitable cov-
ering to avoid inadvertent access. To fit such a protection, refer to the shutter in-
struction manual, and ensure that access is guaranteed for future maintenance op-
erations.
• During installation, handle the product with care: avoid the risk of crushing, im-
pact, dropping or contact with any type of liquid; do not drill or insert screws on the
motor exterior and do not place the product in the vicinity of heat sources or na-
ked flames (fig. 1). This may damage the product and cause malfunctions or haz-
ardous situations. If this occurs, suspend installation immediately and contact the
Nice Technical Assistance.
• During installation, never fit screws along the internal roller section subject to transit
of the tubular motor. This could cause damage to the motor.
• Do not disassemble the product in any way other than as envisaged in this manual.
• Never make any modifications to part of the product other than those specified in
this manual. Operations other than as specified can only cause malfunctions. The
manufacturer declines all liability for damage caused by makeshift modifications to
the product.
• The product power cable is in PVC and is therefore suitable for installation exclu-
sively indoors. If installed outdoors, the cable must be laid in protective ducting.
• The unit's power cable may not be replaced. If the cable is damaged, the device
must be scrapped.
• During system set-up, keep all persons far from the shutter when moving.

1.3 - Operation warnings

• The product is not intended for use by persons (including children) with impaired
physical, sensorial or mental capacities, or with lack of experience or skill.
• Children in the vicinity must be supervised at all times to prevent them playing with
the automation.
• Do not allow children to play with fixed control devices. Keep portable (remote)
control devices out of children's reach.
• During a manoeuvre, check the automation and keep all persons at a safe distance
until the movement has been completed.
• If anyone in the vicinity of the automation is carrying out activities such as window
cleaning, do not activate any control device; the power supply must be discon-
nected before performing this type of work.
• Check the automation frequently to detect possible imbalance, signs of wear or
damage. Do not use the automation if adjustments or repairs are required. In this
case always contact a specialised technician to solve the problem.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND
INTENDED USE
Era Star A is a range of tubular motors designed exclusively to automate shutters.
The motors of this range are fitted with a function that guarantees the good condi-
tion of the shutter during movement, when it is accidentally stopped by an obstacle
or impact. Any other use is prohibited! The manufacturer shall not be held li-
able for damage due to improper use of the product, with respect to the pro-
visions of this manual.
Era Star A is equipped with an "obstacle detection" safety system which is activated
when the shutter movement (ascent or descent) is suddenly stopped by an obstacle
(e.g.: object, person, etc.) or a high level of friction (e.g.: formation of ice, material
expansion, etc.). In these cases the motor control unit blocks the manoeuvre imme-
diately and performs a short movement inversion.
Era Star A can move the shutter both up and down. Encoder technology ensures
precise and reliable electronic control of shutter movements and of all limit switches.
The tubular motor must be connected to the mains and to a wall switch (not included
in the package) to control the shutter's Ascent and Descent manoeuvres: it is advis-
able to use a momentary or maintained-contact switch with interlocked buttons. The
limit switches of these manoeuvres can be programmed using one of the three pro-
cedures available, according to the automatic travel limit mechanisms fitted on the
shutter (safety stops, anti-intrusion springs, etc.).
Era Star A is available in various versions, each one with specific motor torque (power).

PRODUCT INSTALLATION
3.1 - Preliminary checks and product
application limits
Before proceeding with installation, perform the following checks:
• Check the condition of product components as soon as they are removed from the
packaging.
• Check suitability of the selected motor by comparing the rated technical specifica-
tions with those of your shutter; NEVER install the motor if its specifications
(rated torque, rotation speed and operation time) are not suitable for op-
eration with your shutter. In particular, the motor torque MUST NOT EX-
CEED that required to move the shutter. Additional application limits are pro-
vided in the chapter "Technical Specifications".
• The diameter of the winding roller must be selected according to the motor torque:
– for motors that are size "S" (Ø = 35 mm), the minimum inside diameter of the
winding roller must be 40 mm;
– for motors that are size "M" (Ø = 45 mm) and have a torque of up to 35 Nm (in-
cluded), the minimum inside diameter of the winding roller must be 52 mm;
– for motors that are size "M" (Ø = 45 mm) and have a torque of up to 35 Nm, the
minimum inside diameter of the winding roller must be 60 mm;
– for motors that are size "L" (Ø = 58 mm), the minimum inside diameter of the
winding roller must be 70 mm.
• In the case of outdoor installation, ensure that the motor is adequately protected
against atmospheric agents.
3.2 - Assembly and installation of the
tubular motor
Caution! - Before the assembly and installation of the tubular motor care-
fully read the warnings in paragraph 1.2. Incorrect installation may cause
serious injury.
To assemble and install the tubular motor refer to fig. 4. See the catalogue of Nice
products or visit the website www.niceforyou.com to choose the limit switch crown
(fig. 4-a), traction wheel (fig. 4-b) and the fastening bracket (fig. 4-f) for the motor.
• Installing the wall-mounted pushbutton control panel
Install the wall-mounted pushbutton control panel observing the following warnings:
– choose a 2-button control pushbutton panel (Ascent and Descent).
– it is advisable to use a "hold-to-run" pushbutton control panel, i.e. it is necessary
to press and hold the button for the desired duration of the manoeuvre.
– position the switch in sight of the shutter but far from moving parts.
– position the switch to the side of the shutter, in the location of the cable from the
tubular motor and the power cable routed from the electric mains.
– position the pushbutton control panel at a height of at least 1.5 m from the floor.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Caution!
- Incorrect connections could cause failures and hazardous situations.
- Riictly observe the connections specified in this manual; if in doubt do not proceed.
- A disconnect device must be installed on the product power supply line, with a gap
between contacts to ensure complete disconnection in overvoltage category III, in
compliance with installation regulations (the disconnect device is not supplied with
the product).
For connections, refer to the wiring diagram in fig. 3. More than one motor can be
controlled with one single pushbutton control panel by connecting the motors "in
parallel". The cable of the motor has 4 wires:
