WARNINGS AND GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
FOR SAFETY
l Attention! – Important safety instructions: keep these instructions. l At-
tention! – It is important to follow these instructions to ensure safety. There-
fore, read this manual carefully before beginning work.
1.1 - Installation warnings
l All the product installation, collection, programming and maintenance operations
must be carried out exclusively by a skilled and qualified technician, in observance of
local laws, standards, regulations and the instructions in this manual. l Before start-
ing installation, read paragraph 3.1 to make sure the product is a suitable for auto-
mating your rolling shutter (or awning). If not suitable, do NOT proceed with instal-
lation. l Product installation and maintenance operations must be performed with
the automation mechanism disconnected from the power mains. Moreover, before
starting to work, put a sign on the a disconnection device that says "ATTENTION!
MAINTENANCE IN PROGRESS". l Before starting installation, remove all electrical
cables that are unnecessary for the system; deactivate all the mechanisms which are
not necessary for the motorised operation of the rolling shutter (or awning). l Dur-
ing installation of the system, keep people far away from the rolling shutter (or awn-
ing) when it is moving. l A list of the mechanical parts required to couple this motor
with the rolling shutter (or awning) appears in the Nice product catalogue. l If the
product is installed at a height of less than 2.5 m from the floor or other support sur-
face, the moving parts must be protected with a suitable covering, to avoid inadvert-
ent access. Refer to the rolling shutter (or awning) instruction manual for information
on how to provide protection; in any case, make sure access is possible for mainte-
nance work. l On sun awnings, a minimum horizontal distance of 40 cm must be
guaranteed between the awning completely open and any fixed object positioned
in front. l During installation, handle the product with care (fig. 1): avoiding the risk
of crushing, impact, dropping or contact with any type of liquid, do not insert sharp
objects in the motor, do not drill or insert screws on the motor exterior and do not
place the product in the vicinity of heat sources or naked flames. This may damage
product and cause malfunctions, fire or hazardous situations. If this occurs, suspend
installation immediately and contact the Nice Technical Assistance. l Do not apply
screws to the winding roller on the section that is crossed by the motor internally.
Such screws could damage the motor. l Do not dismantle the product except when
conforming the operations described in this manual. l Do not make any changes
to any part of the product except those indicated in this manual. The manufacturer
declines all liability for damage caused by makeshift modifications to the product. l
The power supply cable for the motor is made from PVC and is suitable for use in
indoor environments. For use in other environments, protect the entire length of the
cable by inserting it inside a dedicated sheath for protecting electrical cables. l The
unit's power cable may not be replaced. If the cable is damaged, the device must be
scrapped. l To control the product, use exclusively hold-to-run type pushbuttons,
i.e. which must remain pressed for the en tire manoeuvre.
1.2 - Warnings for use
l This product is not intended to be used by persons (including children) whose
physical, sensorial or mental capacities are reduced, or who lack the necessary ex-
perience or skill. l Do not allow children to play with fixed control devices. l When
performing a manoeuvre, keep a check on the automation and keep all people at
safety distance until the movement has been complete. l Do not start automation
when jobs are being performed in the vicinity, i.e. window cleaning, maintenance
jobs, etc. Disconnect the electrical supply before starting such jobs. l Remember
to frequently check the balance springs and wear and tear of cords (if such mecha-
nisms are present). Do not use the product if it needs to be adjusted or repaired; only
contact specialised technical personnel to solve these problems.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND
INTENDED USE
Era Plus is a family of tubular motors intended for use in automating shutters, awn-
ings, sun screens and other similar applications (fig. 2). Any other use is absolute-
ly prohibited! The manufacturer is not liable for damage resulting from the
any use of the product other than the one specified in this manual.
The product has the following features: l it is powered by the electricity mains
(consult data on the motor dataplate); l it must be installed inside the winding roller;
the part of the motor that protrudes from the roller (electronic head) is fixed to the
ceiling or the wall with suitable support brackets (not supplied in pack); l the mo-
tor includes a radio receiver and control unit. The latter enables electronic control of
the equipment's movements and automatic stopping at the "0" stop (shutter/awning
completely retracted) and "1" stop (shutter/awning completely extended). See fig. 4;
2 – English
l it is compatible with all Nice screen control equipment (transmitters and climate
sensors); l it can be controlled by radio or by cable with a variety of optional acces-
sories not included in the package (see fig. 5); l The stop positions are programmed
with the arrow keys on the head of the motor. The motor's other functions can be
programmed via radio, with a portable transmitter or with a Nice handheld program-
mer (not included in the package); l the motor is designed for residential use, and
hence for intermittent service. However, it can be operated continuously for the time
indicated on the nameplate; l it is equipped with a thermal protection system which,
in the case of overheating caused by continuous use of the mechanism, beyond the
indicated limits, automatically cuts off the electricity supply, restoring it as soon as
the temperature goes back to normal; l it is available in several versions, each with
a certain motor torque (power).

INSTALLATION OF THE MOTOR AND
THE ACCESSORIES
3.1 - Preliminary checks before installation and
limitations on use
l Check the condition of the product right after unpacking it.
l This product is available in several versions, each with a specific motor torque.
Each version is designed to move rolling shutters (or awnings) of certain specific
dimensions and weights. Therefore, before installation make sure the parameters
of the motor torque, rotation speed and operation time of the present product are
suitable to automate your rolling shutter (or awning) (see the section "Guide to Se-
lection" found in the Nice Product Catalogue – www.niceforyou.com).
l Check the diameter of the winding roller. This must be chosen according to the
motor torque, as follows:
– for the motors of size "M" (Ø = 45 mm) and with a torque of up to 35 Nm (in-
cluded), the minimum inside diameter of the winding roller must be 52 mm;
– for the motors of size "M" (Ø = 45 mm) and with a torque higher than 35 Nm, the
minimum inside diameter of the winding roller must be 60 mm;
– for the motors of size "L" (Ø = 58 mm), the minimum inside diameter of the wind-
ing roller must be 70 mm.
l Before automating an awning, check that there is enough free space in front of it
for it to be completely opened.
l In cases of outdoor installation, make sure the motor is adequately protected
against atmospheric agents.
Additional limitations on use are contained in chapters 1 and 2 and in the "Technical
characteristics" section.
3.2 - Assembly and installation of the tubular motor
Warning! – Before starting, carefully read the warnings under sections 1.1
and 3.1. Incorrect installation could cause severe physical injury.
To assemble and install the motor, refer to fig. 6. Moreover, consult the Nice product
catalogue or go to www.niceforyou.com to choose the crown of the limit switch (fig.
6-a), the drag wheel (fig. 6-b) and the motor fastening bracket (fig. 6-f).
3.3 - Installation of accessories
After installing the motor, install the accessories, if required. Per In order to identify
those that are compatible and choose the models desired, see the Nice product cat-
alogue, also viewable at www.niceforyou.com. For further details on the operation of
the accessories and how to program their options, refer to Chapter 6. Fig. 5 shows
the type of accessories that are compatible and their connection to the motor (all of
these are options and not included in the package).
