PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND
INTENDED USE
1
This product is a tubular motor for automating indoors roll-up awnings, or indoors
sunscreens, or similar roll-up equipment (
fig. 1
).
Do not use it for any other pur-
pose! The manufacturer declines all liability for damage resulting from im-
proper use of the product or any other use than that specified in this manual.
The product has the following functional characteristics:
• it is mains powered (see the motor’s nameplate ratings);
• it has two separate cables: one power cable and one control cable;
• it installs inside the winding roller; the part of the motor that protrudes from the roller
(electronic head) mounts to the ceiling or wall with brackets (not included);
• it has a built-in Z-Wave™ radio transceiver and control unit with encoder technol-
ogy that electronically controls the movement and precision of the limit switches;
• it can be programmed with a dedicated programming unit (TTP, etc.);
• it can move the awning up or down; stop it at the upper limit switch, the lower limit
switch or various intermediate positions.
• it moves awnings of different weights at the same speed;
• the up and down speeds are the same;
• it allows you to set the nominal awning speed;
• it enables you to adjust the movement’s duration;
• it enables you to set the acceleration and deceleration at the start/end of the move-
ment respectively;
• it features a security system that detects the presence of an obstacle along the
awning travel, immediately blocking the movement in progress and performing a
brief inversion of movement. The same system is automatically activated at the end
of the Up movement (only if the upper limit switch “0” consists of a box or other me-
chanical stop), to mitigate the impact of the awning against the housing and loosen
the tension exerted by the motor on the canvas, when the awning is stationary at
the upper limit switch “0”;
• it enables you to precisely adjust the limit switches;
• it has an integral led which indicates the system status and any malfunctions;
• it is equipped with a thermal protection system which, in the case of overheating
caused by overuse of the automated mechanism (beyond the indicated limits, see
the Technical Specifications chapter), automatically cuts off the electricity supply,
restoring it as soon as the temperature goes back to normal;
• it is available in a variety of versions, each with a specific motor torque (see the mo-
tor nameplate ratings).
