• Installing the wall-mounted pushbutton panel
Install a control pushbutton panel on the wall, taking care to observe the following:
– select a 2-button panel (Up and Down).
– 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 pushbutton panel in sight of the awning but far from moving parts.
– position the pushbutton panel to the side of the awning, in the location of the elec-
tric cable from the tubular motor and power cable routed from the electric mains.
– position the pushbutton panel at a height of at least 1.5 m from the ground.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Caution!
- Incorrect connections can cause faults or hazardous situations.
- Strictly observe the connections specified in this manual.
- 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 electrical connections, refer to the wiring diagram in fig. 4. More than one motor
can be controlled with one single pushbutton control panel by connecting the
motors "in parallel"The cable for electrical connections of the tubular motor has 4
internal wires:
– Brown: = electric ascent/descent phase.
– Black: = electric descent/ascent phase.
– Blue: = Common (usually connected to Neutral).
– Yellow-green: = Earth (equipotential bonding connection – does not exist in the E
Star ST engine).
Caution! – The maximum length of the cables used to connect a wall-mounted
panel or a relay is 100 m.
• Associating the Up and Down movements with the respec-
tive pushbuttons
After making the connections, run a number of manoeuvres (*) to ensure that the
ascent and descent movements are associated correctly with the respective control
buttons. If this is not so, invert the connection of the Brown and Black wires.
(*) – During execution of the manoeuvre, ensure that the awning completes 2 short
movements (= operator connected correctly). The direction of motor rotation is not
important.

PROGRAMMING
5.1 - Programming warnings
• In general
- Strictly observe the time limits specified in the procedures.
- Positions 0, 1, 2, and S of the awning, specified in the text, correspond to those
illustrated in fig. 6.
- During installation and adjustment, while final electrical connections are still to be
made, the tubular motor can be controlled with the specific Nice "TTU" unit (fig. 7).
• Motor signals
o The motor implements one very short interruption at the start of the manoeu-
vre and then resumes movement = only 1 limit switch is memorised.
o The motor implements two very short interruptions at the start of the ma-
noeuvre and then resumes movement = no limit switch is memorised.
o when the control button is pressed ("hold-to-run" mode), movement is
started but is interrupted shortly afterwards, without completing the ma-
noeuvre = proceed with total deletion followed by programming of the limit posi-
tions.
5.2 - Limit switch programming
Limit switches "0" and "1" (fig. 6) correspond to the positions of the awning at the
end of the Up movements ("0") and the end of the Down movements ("1").
To select the procedure most suited to the system features, refer to fig. 5.
• Note on "RDC" function
The RDC function prevents the canvas from remaining excessively tensioned at the
end of the closing ma noeuvre. The function automatically reduces the motor traction
torque during the final phase of the closing manoeuvre (to set the required torque
value, refer to paragraph 5.5).
This function is set at the factory, however it is not applicable if the limit switches are
programmed using the manual mode (paragraph 5.3). It can be disabled only during
the programming of the limit switches in semi-automatic mode (paragraph 5.4).
