PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
Era Mat MO is a family of tubular motors intended exclusively for automating adjust-
able slat shutters. Any other use is absolutely prohibited! The manufacturer is
not liable for damage resulting from the any use of the product other than
the one specified in this manual.
Functional characteristics of the product:
l it is powered by the electricity mains (see data on rating plate of motor); l it must be
installed inside the winding roller; the face that overhangs is fastened to inside of the
box with screws and the appropriate support brackets (not included in the package);
l it has a built-in radio receiver and control unit with encoder technology that provides
the electronic control of the movement and the precision of the limit switches; l it is
compatible with all the Nice electronic control components that use the NRC radio sys-
tem; l it can be controlled by radio or by cable using various optional accessories not
included in the package (see fig. 3); l it can be programmed exclusively via radio, with
a portable transmitter (this accessory is not included in the package); l It raises and low-
ers the shutter, stops it automatically at the UP and DOWN limit positions, and adjusts
the slat angle; l it is equipped with a thermal protection system which, in the cases of
overheating caused by overuse of the automation (beyond the indicated limits) automati-
cally cuts off the electricity supply and to resets 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
• Check the conditions of the product right after unpacking it.
• This product is available in several versions, each with a specific motor torque and
each designed to drive rolling shutters of a certain size and weight. Therefore, be-
fore 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
(see the section "Guide to Selection" found in the Nice Product Catalogue – www.
niceforyou.com). In particular, do not install the product if its motor torque is
greater then that needed to move your rolling shutter.
• Check the diameter of the winding roller. This must be chosen according to the
motor torque, as follows:
– 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 higher torque to 35 Nm, the mini-
mum inside diameter of the winding roller must be 60 mm.
• In cases of outdoor installation, make sure the motor is adequately protected
against atmospheric agents.
• 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.
Additional limitations on use are contained in chapters 1 and 2 and under the section
"Technical characteristics".
3.2 - Assembly and installation of the tubular motor
Attention! - Before starting, carefully read the warnings under sections 1.1
and 3.1. Incorrect installation could cause severe physical injury.
To assembly and install the motor, see fig. 4. Moreover, consult the Nice product
catalogue or go to www.niceforyou.com to choose the crown of the limit switch (fig.
4-a), the drag wheel (fig. 4-b) and the motor fastening bracket (fig. 4-f). ATTEN-
TION! - Do not apply screws to the winding roller on the section that is crossed by
the motor internally. Such screws could damage the motor.
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
catalogue, also viewable at www.niceforyou.com. Fig. 3 shows the type of acces-
sories that are compatible and their connection to the motor (all of these are options
and not included in the package). For further details on the operation of the acces-
sories and how to program their options, read Chapter 6.

4.1 - Connection of motor to electricity mains
Utilize cords 4, 5, 6 (fig. 3) to connect the motor to the mains and pay attention to
the warnings:
– an improper connection can cause breakdowns and hazardous situations;
– scrupulously respect the connections indicated in this manual;
– in the power supply network of the motor you must install a disconnection device
having an opening distance of the contacts that allows complete disconnection
in the overvoltage category III conditions, in conformity with the installation rules
(disconnection device not supplied with the product).
4.2 - Connection of accessories to motor
• Accessories can be connected by cable
Use cables 1, 2, 3 (fig. 3) to connect the accessories to the motor; refer to fig. 3 of
Chapter 6 - "Optional Accessories" and pay attention to the following warnings.
– Cables 1, 2, 3 of the bus lines MUST NOT be connected to be electrical mains.
– The maximum length of the cables used to connect a wall-mounted panel or a
relay, is 100 m.
– To the White + White-black lead you can connect only one accessory at a time
from among the compatible ones.
– To the White-orange + White-black lead you can connect only one accessory at
a time from among the compatible ones.
– The Open and Flows inputs are constrained to reach other, in other words they
must be used with the same pushbutton strip (fig. 3).
• Accessories can be connected by a radio
Memorise these in the motor during the programming phases; referred to the pro-
cedures given in Chapter 6 - "Optional Accessories" and those given in the manu-
als supplied with the devices.

PROGRAMMING AND ADJUSTMENTS
5.1 - Transmitter to the used for programming
procedures
• The programming procedures can be performed exclusively with a Nice
transmitter having at least the following keys s, n, t.
• If the keys of your transmitter have no symbols or numbers, see fig. 2 to identify
them.
• If several automation units are controlled by the transmitter you are using to pro-
gram the system, you must select the "unit" corresponding to the automation you
are programming.
5.2 - Programmable positions in which the rolling
shutter stops automatically
The electronic system, which controls the movement of the shutter at all times, can
automatically stop it or make it execute certain movements when it reaches a posi-
tion programmed by the installer. The programmable positions are:
• UP limit "0" (see fig. 5): position at which the shutter automatically stops when
raised (= shutter completely rolled up). Refer to par. B.1 for information on pro-
gramming this position.
• DOWN limit "1" (see fig. 5): position at which the shutter automatically stops
when lowered (= shutter completely unrolled). Refer to par. B.2 for information on
programming this position.
• Various positions associated with Venetian mode: Venetian mode requires a
number of specific positions related to the shutter's slat tilting mechanism to be
programmed. For information on these positions and how to program them, refer
to par. C and D, with reference to the specific type of your shutter.
When the limit switches are not yet programmed, the movement of the rolling shut-
ter can occur only with the "operator present", i.e. keeping the control key pressed
for the desired duration of the manoeuvre; the movement stops as soon as the user
releases the key. However, after programming the limit switches, a simple impulse on
the key you chose will start the rolling shutter and it will stop moving autonomously
as soon as the rolling shutter reaches the required position.
The programming of the limit switches simultaneously combines the two directions
of rotation of the motor to the respective shutter raising key (s) and shutter lowering
key (t) of the control device (initially, when the limit switches are not programmed
yet, the combination is random and it can happen that when pressing the key s, the
shutter moves down instead of up, or vice versa).
5.3 - General warnings
• The limit switch must be adjusted after installing the motor it in the rolling shutter
and connecting it to the power supply.
• In cases of installations with several motors and/or receivers, before starting to
program you must disconnect the electrical supply to the motors and receivers you
do not wish to program.
