1 - SAFETY MEASURES AND WARNINGS
The present manual contains important safety
instructions for the INSTALLATION and USE of
the product.
INSTALLATION:
Warning – incorrect installation could cause seri-
ous injury. For this reason, all installation instruc-
tions contained in the present manual should be
carefully followed during the working operations.
PRODUCT USE:
Warning – for the safety of persons, it is very
important to follow these instructions carefully in
the everyday use of the product. Keep this manu-
al in a safe place for future reference.
INTRODUCTORY NOTE –
The term “
tubu-
lar motor
” in this manual is used to identify
the complete item that is comprised by the
“Max Motor” (automation motor) and “Max
Controller” (head of the motor).
• The tubular motors of the Max line have been
designed for the automation of roller shutters and
awnings; any other use is improper and prohibited.
• The tubular motor must be installed by qualified
technicians in accordance with the present safety
standards and instructions.
• When choosing the type of tubular motor, the appli-
cation characteristics of the automation system in
relation to the rated torque value, the rotation
speed and the operating time that are indicated on
the technical data plate on the “Max Motor”, must
be taken into consideration.
• Since the installation requires that the tubular
motor is fitted inside the roller of the roller shutter
or awning to be automated, the following must be
considered before proceeding: motors with
torques up to 35Nm (included) can be fitted in
rollers having a minimum diameter of 52 mm;
motors with greater torques require rollers with a
minimum diameter of 60 mm.
• Before installing the tubular motor, remove all
unnecessary cables and deactivate all mechanisms
that are not required for the motorised operation.
• The moving parts of the tubular motor must be pro-
tected if the motor is installed below 2.5 m from
floor level or from another level where access to the
motor is possible. The product should in any case
be easily accessible for maintenance purposes.
• A horizontal distance of at least 40 cm must be
guaranteed between the completely open awnings
and an object in front of the said awning.
• The tubular motor must not be crushed, knocked,
dropped or come into contact with any type of liq-
uid; do not drill or apply screws throughout the
length of the tubular motor (
Fig. 1
); avoid introduc-
ing pointed objects inside the “Max Motor” tube
(e.g. screwdrivers) that could damage the motor
and the electrical contacts.
• Do not apply screws during installation in the roller
section inside of which passes the tube of the “Max
Motor”: these could damage the tube.
• The power supply cable that is supplied with “Max
Controller” is made of PVC: this makes it suitable
for internal installations. If on the other hand instal-
lation is outside, the cable needs to be protected
by an insulating tube or alternatively the “Max con-
troller” can be fitted using the special 05RN-F type
cable for external use.
• Do not use more than one reverse switch for the
same tubular motor and do not use one reverse
switch to control more than one tubular motor (
Fig.
2
). If necessary use the Nice
®
“
TTE
” accessory.
• The tubular motor control switch must be fixed in
an easily visible location but away from moving
parts and at a height no less than 1.5 m.
• When the roller shutter or awning is in movement,
make sure that there are no persons within the
movement range.
• Do not activate the awning if work is being carried
out close by such as window cleaning; if an auto-
matic control is used, disconnect the power supply.
• Do not let children play with the fixed control device
and keep the remote controls out of their reach.
• Regularly check the balancing springs and the wear
of cables (if these mechanisms are present) and
request the assistance of qualified technicians only
for maintenance or possible repairs.
2 - DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATIONS
The Max line of Nice
®
tubular motors are made up
of two parts: the present control device known as
“
Max Controller
” that powers the motor and man-
ages the limit switches (
Fig. 1-[B]
) and the motor
known as “
Max Motor
” (
Fig. 1-[A]
), that is not
included in the pack.
Different types of roller systems, such as roller shut-
ters and awnings, can be automated when the two
parts are placed together. Therefore the most suit-
able model must be chosen based on the type of
application to be automated, which is done by read-
ing the rated torque values, the rotation speed and
the operating time that are indicated on the techni-
cal data plate.
The Max tubular motor has been designed for resi-
dential use guaranteeing a continues operating time
of 4 minutes. In the event of overheating (due to
continuous use), a heat protection device automati-
cally cuts in, interrupting the power supply which is
re-established as soon as the temperature drops to
a normal level.
All “Max Motors” have a driving shaft at one end with
a self-locking mechanism on the head for the cou-
pling of the driving wheel. The motor is installed inside
the shutter or awning roller and is capable of moving
the roller both up and down. The “Max Controller” is
equipped with an electromechanical limit switch that,
suitably adjusted, interrupts the movement in corre-
spondence with the desired position.
3 - INSTALLATION
Warning – incorrect installation could cause seri-
ous injury.
Warning – before it is possible to install the
“Max Controller” it must be assembled together
with the “Max Motor” (Fig. 3-[A]).
