PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND
INTENDED USE
The product is a tubular motor for automating awnings and shutters. Any other use
is strictly prohibited! The manufacturer declines all liability for dam-
age resulting from improper use of the product and other than as
specified in this manual.
The product has the following features:
- is powered by the mains electricity (verify compatibility on the label attached to the
motor);
- it can move the rolling shutter up and down and stop it at the upper limit switch, the
lower limit switch or at various intermediate positions;
- it has a built-in radio receiver and control unit with encoder technology that electroni-
cally controls the movement and precision of the limit switches;
- it can be programmed and operated with a TTGO transmitter (this accessory is not in-
cluded in the package);
- it is designed for residential use, i.e. discontinuous. It guarantees a continuous operat-
ing time of maximum 4 minutes;
- it is fitted with a thermal cut-out which in the event of overheating due to use of the au-
tomation in excess of the set limits, automatically shuts off the power supply and only
restores operation when the temperature returns within the normal range.

PRODUCT INSTALLATION
3.1 • Preliminary checks – Application limits
Caution! – Before proceeding with installation, verify the following.
• There are various versions of this product available, each designed to manage a spe-
cific motor torque. Each of these is designed to automate awnings and shutters of a
specified size and weight. Before proceeding with the installation, check that the pre-
sent motor is suited (torque, rotational speed and operating time) for automating your
awning or shutter. Caution! - In particular, do not install the motor if its
torque is greater than that needed to move your awning or shutter.
• Check the diameter of the winding roller. This must be chosen according to the motor
torque, as follows:
- for motors that are size "S" (Ø = 35 mm), the minimum inside diameter of the winding
roller must be 40 mm;
- for motors that are size "M" (Ø = 45 mm) and have a torque of up to 35 Nm (includ-
ed), the minimum inside diameter of the winding roller must be 52 mm;
- for motors that are size "M" (Ø = 45 mm) and have a torque of up to 35 Nm (includ-
ed), the minimum inside diameter of the winding roller must be 60 mm;
- for motors that are size "L" (dia. 58 mm), the inside diameter of the winding roller must
be at least 70 mm.
• If installed outdoors, make sure the motor is adequately protected against atmospheric
agents.
Additional limitations on use are contained in chapters 1 and 2 and in the "Technical
characteristics" section.
3.2 • Tubular motor installation
Warnings:
- Before starting, carefully read the warnings under sections 1.1 and 3.1.
- Incorrect installation may cause severe physical injury.
To assemble and install the motor, refer to fig. 2. Also refer to the catalogue for the limit
switch crown (fig. 2-a), drive wheel (fig. 2-b) and motor bracket (fig. 2-f).
