6.2.4 - Programming the direction in which the awning/shutter
will move if it starts to rain
If it starts to rain, the system automatically commands the awning/shutter to be
raised (factory setting). To change this setting, to perform the procedure 5.14.
6.3 - Photocell couple
(Use the White + White-black leads). This accessory allows an accidental obsta-
cle along the course of the awning/shutter to be detected. If an obstacle is detected,
this immediately blocks the downward movement of the awning/shutter. For further
information, refer to the instruction manual for photocells.
Caution! - Before connecting the photocells, you must memorise at least the "First
transmitter" (section 5.7).
6.4 - Resistive sensitive edge (can only be connected
to the photocell couple)
This accessory, which has a constant resistance value of 8.2 K, allows the presence
of an accidental obstacle along the course of the awning/shutter to be detected.
You program the way the system reacts when it intercepts an obstacle, with proce-
dure 5.15.

WARNINGS ABOUT USING THE AUTOMATED
DEVICE
7.1 - Maximum continuous work cycle
In general, the motors in the "Era" range were designed for residential use and there-
fore for discontinuous use. They guarantee a maximum continuous operating time of
4 minutes and in cases of overheating (e.g. caused by continuous prolonged opera-
tion) a safety "thermal protection device" intervenes to cut the power supply, restor-
ing it when the temperature returns to normal.
7.2 - Emergency manual manoeuvre
To perform an emergency manual manoeuvre, hook the bar through the hole (fig.
6-f) and turn in one direction or the other according to the desired manoeuvre. To
avoid undue wear and tear on the mechanism, we recommend you use the manual
manoeuvre only in emergencies e.g. when there is a black-out.
CAUTION! – When performing a manual manoeuvre, the awning/shutter must
NEVER go past the limit switch positions "0" and "1", as set during the instal-
lation of the motor.
What to do if...
(troubleshooting guide)
• The motor does not start when you send a command or press a key to
start a movement.
a) Check whether the motor thermal has been tripped. If this is the case, wait until
the motor cools to restore normal functioning.
b) Check that the power is on and the grid voltage corresponds to the values ap-
pearing on the motor plate.
c) Check whether the motor has been shut down by the limit switch in either direc-
tion of rotation. If this is the case, adjust the limit switch levels again using the
procedure described in par. 5.5.
d) Check that the control pushbutton strip has been connected up correctly (refer
to fig. 5).
e) Check that the power cable is in good condition.
• If the motor does not stop automatically shutter/awning reaches the stop
position.
a) Make sure that the two "arrow" buttons on the motor head are in the lowered
position, that is, flush with the motor surface.
b) While the manoeuvre is underway, make sure that the winding roller drives the
limit switch ring nut (fig. 6-h).
• If the programmed stop position moves during the shutter/awning's first
movement.
a) Repeat the procedure described in par. 5.5 to compensate the play between
the mechanisms.
If problems persist after these checks contact a qualified technician or the Nice Ser-
vice Centre.
