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 with a 20% cycle. 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 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. Minimum installation height is
2.5 m off the ground or floor. Easy access must in any case be ensured.
For awning applications, 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 tubular motor must not be subjected to
crushing, impacts, falls or contact with any kind of liquid. Do not perfo-
rate or drive screws into any part of the tubular motor. Do not use mul-
tiple 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 main-
tenance and repairs contact a qualified technician.
Keep people away from the shutter 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 sup-
ply 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 draw lock rings 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.
1) Product description
2) Installation
Proceed as follows to prepare the motor (fig. 3):
1. Position the idle ring nut (E) on the motor (A) until it fits into the
corresponding idle ring (F). Make sure that the two grooves
match. Push it into position as shown in fig. 4.
2. Mount the draw ring nut (D) on the motor shaft. On NEOSTAR SA
the ring nut snaps on automatically. On NEOSTAR MA and
NEOSTAR LA, fasten the draw ring nut with the snap ring.
3. Fit the assembled motor into the winding tube until the end of the
idle ring nut (E) is also inserted. Fasten the draw ring nut (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).

2.1) Electrical connections
WARNING: a reverser switch must be used during the programming operations to enable the simultaneous activation
of the electrical UP phase and electrical DOWN phase. Alternatively, the special TTU control unit can be used for the
programming operations, though it must later be replaced with the appropriate reverser switch.
WARNING: for motor connections, an omnipolar disconnecting device with a 3-mm minimum distance between con-
tacts must be provided for disconnection from the mains power supply (disconnecting switch or plug and socket, etc.).
WARNING: carefully follow all the connection instructions. If you have any doubts do not make experiments but con-
sult the relevant technical specifications which are also available on the web site "www.niceforyou.com".
An incorrect connection may be dangerous and cause damage to the system.
The cable used for the electrical connections of the NEOSTAR motors has 4 wires: electrical UP phase, electrical DOWN phase, Common
wire (usually connected to the Neutral) and Earth (unipotential protection connection). From an electrical viewpoint NEOSTAR is controlled
like any normal motor equipped with electromechanical limit switches (fig.6); on the other hand, NEOSTAR features an electronic limit switch
system programmed to stop the motor at pre-established positions. The connection devices are not supplied with the product.
Note:
during the installation and adjustment operations, when no final electrical connections exist, the motor can be controlled using the
“TTU” unit.
