Warnings:
Warning: it is important that you comply with these instruc-
tions for your own and other people’s safety.
Store this manual in a safe place for future reference.
This manual contains important safety provisions; incorrect
installation may create serious hazards.
The “NEOMAT H” series motors have been designed for the automation
of awnings; any other use is considered improper and is prohibited.
These motors are intended for residential use. Maximum continuous
operating time is 4 minutes with a 20% cycle.
When selecting the type of motor based on the application, you should
consider the nominal torque and the operating time shown on the rating
plate. The minimum diameter of the tube in which the motor can be
installed is 52 mm for NEOMAT MH and 70 mm for NEOMAT LH.
The motor must be installed by qualified personnel in compliance with
current safety regulations, especially as regards the electrical connec-
tions. Minimum installation height is 2.5 m from the ground or floor.
Easy access must in any case be ensured. The horizontal clearance
between the fully open awning and any stationary object must be at least
0.4 m. As regards units for outdoor use, the power supply 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 perforate or drive screws into any part of the tubular motor (fig. 1).
For maintenance and repairs contact a qualified technician.
The application must be visible from the control buttons, which must be
positioned away from any moving parts, at a height of at least 1.5 m off
the ground. Keep people away from the 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 remote con-
trols away from their reach.
The NEOMAT MH Ø45mm and NEOMAT LH Ø58mm tubular motors
(fig. 2) feature an electronic control unit with incorporated radio
receiver, operating at a frequency of 433.92 MHz, with rolling code
technology, to guarantee high levels of security. Up to 14 “ERGO”
and “PLANO” series radio controls (fig. 3) or radio-sensors can be
memorised for each motor, e.g. “VOLO S RADIO” (fig. 3).
The control unit incorporated in the motor features a high precision
electronic limit switch system capable of continuously monitoring the
position of the awning. The range of movement, i.e. the closed/open
positions (plus any intermediate positions) can be programmed and
memorised; after each command, the movement stops automatical-
ly when these positions are reached. The electronic limit switch can
compensate for any stretching of the fabric (“CAT” function), guar-
anteeing the perfect closure of the shutter box and preventing any
slack in the fabric when the awning is open. The NEOMAT H motors
can be programmed for “RDC” torque reduction, a function that
decreases motor torque by approximately 50% just before the
awning closes completely to prevent excessive stretching of the fab-
ric. NEOMAT H also features an “RDT” draw release function that
reduces the stretch of the fabric momentarily after the closing oper-
ation has been completed, to prevent prolonged stretching.
The CAT, RDC and RDT functions have been especially studied to
simulate the careful and meticulous behaviour of a person who
opens and closes the awning manually.
The range of movement and a few additional functions can be pro-
grammed through the radio controls. A beep will sound to guide the
various phases. The motors can only be controlled via radio, though
the awning can also be moved using the “emergency manoeuvre”
feature. The movement of the awning can be automated based on
the weather conditions by using optional wind, sun and rain sensors,
such as “VOLO S RADIO”.
1) Product description
NEOMAT H is produced by Motus S.p.a. (TV) I. ERGO, PLANO, VOLO S RADIO are produced by Nice S.p.a.(TV) I. Motus S.p.a. is an affiliate of the Nice S.p.a group.
1.1) Emergency manoeuvre
The NEOMAT H tubular motors are equipped with an emergency
manoeuvre feature.
The emergency manoeuvre is a mechanism that enables the manu-
al movement of the awning, for instance when a power failure
occurs. It is activated by rotating the rod located on the motor’s head
in the required direction.
When the emergency manoeuvre is used, or if the motor is left with-
out electric power for over 24 hours, the motor control unit loses the
value of the current position of the awning. To correct this situation,
an automatic realignment feature is provided: just carry out an Up
manoeuvre until the awning is completely wound up. If you com-
mand a Down manoeuvre before realignment, the movement will
take place in “man present” mode (i.e. the awning will move while the
command is active).
