Product Description And Intended Use - Nice Nemo SCT Instructions Et Avertissements Pour L'installation Et L'utilisation

ENGLISH
GENERAL WARNINGS
IMPORTANT
• Important safety instructions: observe these in-
structions - improper installation can result in
serious injury.
• For personal safety it is important to observe
these instructions.
• Keep these instructions.
• All installation procedures, connections, pro-
gramming and maintenance of the product
must be performed exclusively by a qualified
technician!
• The sensor is not a safety device capable of
eliminating damage to the awning due to strong
winds (indeed, a simple power failure can pre-
vent the awning being automatically retracted).
The sensor is rather part of an automation ca-
pable of protecting the awning and facilitating
its use.
• The manufacturer is not responsible for damage due
to atmospheric events undetected by the device's
sensors.
• Do not open the device protection housing as it con-
tains non-serviceable electrical circuits.
• Never apply modifications to any part of the device.
4 – English
Operations other than as specified can only cause
malfunctions. The manufacturer declines all liability
for damage caused by makeshift modifications to
the product.
• Never place the device near sources of heat and
never expose to naked flames. This may damage it
and cause malfunctions.
• The product is not intended for use by persons (in-
cluding children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capacities, nor by anyone with insufficient ex-
perience or familiarity.
• Make sure that children do not play with the product.
• The unit is solar powered. The photovoltaic cell must
be exposed to sunlight throughout the day; make
sure that its photosensitive surface is always clean
and unobstructed by leaves, snow or other matter:
clean it with a soft damp cloth, do not use alcohol,
benzene, solvents or other agents when cleaning it.
• Handle the product with care, making sure not to
crush, strike or drop it.
1 - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED
USE
The product is a climatic sensor intended for use in au-
tomation systems for awnings, shutters, skylights, etc.
with Nice tubular motors and control units. Any other
use is to be considered improper and is strictly
prohibited! Nice declines all liability for damage
resulting from improper use of the product and
other than as specified in this manual. The sensor
has an integral radio transmitter and is solar powered;
at night it uses the charge stored up during the day, and
thus does not require a mains power connection. The
other components of the device are indicated in the
Quick reference guide (Step 1 - fig. A).
Product operation is based on real-time readings of
variations in wind speed (not present on SCT) and sun-
light intensity. When the climatic sensor readings vio-
late their thresholds (either above or below), the sensor
transmits a radio signal to the motor's automation re-
ceiver, which in turn activates an Up or Down manoeu-
vre, depending on the type of signal received (above or
below the threshold). Up to 3 sensors can be installed
on a single automation system, thus enabling data ac-
quisition at different points of the environment.
2 - PRELIMINARY INSTALLATION CHECKS
AND PRODUCT APPLICATION LIMITS
• Read the technical specifications provided in the
chapter "Product technical specifications" to check
the application limits of the sensor.
• The sensor may not be compatible with older motors
manufactured before June 2004 or with TT0 control
units.
• (fig. 1) In favourable conditions (unobstructed field),
the transmission range of the sensor is 100 m, how-
ever, since the sensor is intended to protect the
awning, it is advisable to install it at most 10-20 m
away from the motor. We also recommend check-
ing that the zone is clear of other wireless devices
transmitting on the same frequency, such as alarms,
wireless headsets, etc.: they can further reduce the
range or even block the transmissions of the device
to the motor.
• Make sure that the sensor's installation zone satisfies
the following requisites:
– (fig. 2) it must allow for full and direct sunlight ex-
posure of the sun sensor surface and the photovol-
taic power cell; never install the product in zones
subject to shade from awnings, trees, balconies etc.
or below a source of intense artificial light;
– (fig. 3) the area must ensure exposure of the wind
sensor blades (WSCT only) to the same ventilation as
that applied on the sun awning to be automated.
• Since the sensor's body is jointed and can be orient-
ed as desired, ti can also be installed to sloping sur-
faces. The tilt range is given in the Quick reference
guide (Step 1 - phase 1).
• Ensure that the surfaces selected for installation are
solid and guarantee a stable fixture.
• Make sure that the sensor is protected against ac-
cidental impact.
