Warnings:
The “NEOSTART_A” series motors have been designed for the automa-
tion of roller shutters and awnings; any other use is improper and pro-
hibited. These motors are intended for residential use. Maximum contin-
uous operating time is 4 minutes. When selecting the motor based on
the application requirements, the nominal torque and operating time
shown in the rating plate must be considered.
The minimum diameter of the tube on which the motor can be installed
is 40 mm for NEOSTART SA, 52 mm for NEOSTAR MA in the version
with torque up to 35Nm; 60 mm in the version with torque over 35Nm
and 70 mm for NEOSTAR LA. The motor must be installed by qualified
personnel in compliance with current safety regulations. All unnecessary
electrical cables must be removed before installation; all mechanisms
not required for motorized operation must be disabled. If the motor is
installed at a height below 2.5m, all moving parts of the motor must be
protected. Easy access must in any case be ensured. For awning appli-
cations, the horizontal clearance between the fully open awning and any
stationary object must be at least 0.4 m.
In the case of units for outdoor use, the power cable must be installed
inside a protective duct. The PVC power supply cable supplied with the
Neostar series is ideal for internal installation; when installed outside, a
sunlight-resistant tube must be used to protect the cables, or the spe-
cific 05RN-F type cable can be requested.
The tubular motor must not be subjected to crushing, impacts, falls or
contact with any kind of liquid. Do not perforate or drive screws into any
part of the tubular motor. Do not use multiple reverser switches for the
same motor (fig. 1). The application must be visible from the control
switch, which must be positioned away from any moving parts, at a
height of at least 1.5 m off the ground. For maintenance and repairs con-
tact a qualified technician.
Keep people away from the shutter/awning when the latter is in motion.
If any work, such as window cleaning, is being carried out near the
awning, do not operate it; in case of automatic control, disconnect the
power supply as well. Do not allow children to play with the controls and
keep all radio controls away from their reach. Check the balancing
springs (if any) and the wear of cables at frequent intervals.
The “NEOSTAR” tubular motors, versions “NEOSTAR SA” Ø35mm,
“NEOSTAR MA” Ø45mm and “NEOSTAR LA” Ø58mm (fig.2) are
electric motors equipped with RPM reduction and terminating at one
end with a shaft on which the drive wheel can be mounted.
The motor must be fitted inside the winding tube, where it can raise
or lower the roller shutter or awning. These motors are equipped
with an electronic limit switch that, when properly programmed,
stops the movement of the shutter/awning when it reaches the
desired position.

WARNING: follow all installation instructions with care
WARNING: incorrect installation may cause serious
injury
Proceed as follows to prepare the motor (fig. 3):
1. Position the limit switch crown (E) on the motor (A) until it fits into
the corresponding limit switch ring (F). Make sure that the two
grooves match. Push it into position as shown in fig. 4.
2. Mount the drive wheel (D) on the motor shaft. On NEOSTAR SA
the ring nut snaps on automatically. On NEOSTAR MA fasten the
drive wheel with the snap ring. On NEOSTAR LA, fix the drive
wheel with the washer and M12 nut supplied.
3. Fit the assembled motor into the winding tube until the end of the
limit switch crown (E) is also inserted. Fasten the drive wheel (D)
to the winding tube using the M4x10 screw in order to prevent
the motor from slipping or sliding axially (fig. 5).
4. Finally, secure the motor head to the special support (C), along
with the spacer (if any), using the clips or split pin (B).
