PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED
USE
This transmitter is part of the “Era-P” / “Era-W”
Nice range. The transmitters of these two ranges
are used to control automation mechanisms for aw-
nings, outdoor sunblinds or blinds: any other use
is improper and forbidden!
Functional specications
• The “Era-P” range consists of portable mod-
els (“P”) while the “Era-W” range consists of wall
mounted models (“W”). • 1 or 6 “unit” models are
available to send commands to, as well as models
with commands for the management of the weather
sensors. • Some models are provided with a hook
to temporarily hang the transmitter on the wall, oth-
ers are provided with a plate to mount it on the wall.
To install this accessory please refer to g. 2 or 3.
• Fig. 1 reports all the keys which may be on the
transmitters, based on the model. Their use is as
follows:
A - “Unit” keys (only in the P6/U, P6S/U, W6/U,
W6S/U models): are required to select the
automation mechanism/s to send the com-
mands to. While memorising the transmitter,
it is necessary to programme at least one of
these keys, associating at least one automa-
tion mechanism/s to them. This makes the key
a “unit for the reception of the commands”,
meaning that the automation mechanisms as-
sociated to it will receive the same commands
during the use of the transmitter. The other
keys available may be programmed in a similar
manner, based on the system’s needs. For all
purposes, it is like having 6 independent trans-
mitters in a single command device.
B - Command keys (in all the models): are re-
quired to send the rise (▲), stop (■) and lower
(▼) commands. In the P6/U, P6S/U, W6/U,
W6S/U models, prior to sending a command,
select the “unit” to send the command to.
C - Control keys of the automatic commands
(only in the P1S/U, P6S/U, W1S/U, W6S/U
models): the
key enables (the key dis-
ables) the reception by the motor of the auto-
matic commands transmitted by any weather
sensor in the installation. When
is pressed
the system sets the automatic operating mode
of the automation mechanism whereas when
is pressed the system sets the manual
operating mode of the automation mecha-
nism. The “Wind” sensor may not be disabled
since it is required to protect the automation
mechanism from wind damage. With the auto-
matic operating mode enabled, the user may
send manual commands any time. For more
information please refer to the manual of the
automation mechanism and the weather sen-
sor.
D - Programming keys (in all the models): in the
compatible motors (e.g. those of the Era Mat
range), these keys are required to simplify the
performance of the programming procedures:
the PRG key speeds up the access to the pro-
cedures, whereas the ESC key speeds up the
exit from them. To access the keys remove the
battery cover.
In the P6/U, P6S/U, W6/U, W6S/U models:
during the execution of the procedures, when
pressing these keys is required, it is necessary
to rstly select the single “unit” where the pro-
cedure is being performed.
TESTING THE TRANSMITTER
Before memorising the transmitter in the receiver of
the motor, check its proper operation by pressing
any key and observing whether the LED lights up
(g. 1-E). If it does not, refer to the section entitled
“Replacing the Battery” in this manual.
SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS OF THE TRANSMITTER
• Select a “unit” to send a command to (only
for the P6/U, P6S/U, W6/U, W6S/U models)
With these transmitter models, prior to sending a
command it is necessary to select the “unit” (i.e. the
automation mechanisms associated to this) to send
the command to. After selecting the unit, its LED
remains lit for a few seconds and, before its turns
off, it is possible to select other units to be added
to the rst selected (to eliminate a unit selected by
mistake, turn off its LED by briey pressing the as-
sociated key).
After selecting the units desired, when their LEDs
automatically turn off, the units will remain in the
transmitter’s memory until a new unit/s is/are se-
lected. While they remain in the memory it will be
possible to send them commands without having
to select them rst.
• Enable or disable the reception of the auto-
matic commands sent from a weather sen-
sor (only for the P1S/U, P6S/U, W1S, W6S/U
models)
With these transmitter models it is possible to en-
able or disable the reception of the automatic com-
mands coming from any weather sensor connected
(e.g. the “Sun” automatism mechanisms). For a
good management of the automation mechanisms
connected to the weather sensors, we advise using
a single transmitter provided with keys to enable or
disable automatic commands.
Only for the P6S/U and W6S/U models: in these
transmitters, prior to enabling or disabling the op-
erating mode, it is necessary to select the “unit/s”
which the setting must be sent to. While using these
transmitters, to check whether the units are enabled
or disabled, just select these one at a time and ob-
serve the state of the LEDs:
lit; off = function enabled;
off; lit = function disabled;
Note – If more units are selected and the two LEDs
appear to be off, this means that there is at least one
unit which has the automatic commands enabled.
MEMORISING THE TRANSMITTER
To memorise the transmitter in a control unit (or in a
receiver) it is possible to choose one of the following
procedures, compatibly with the presence of this in
the manual of the control unit or the receiver:
A - Memorisation in “Mode I”
B - Memorisation in “Mode II”
C - Memorisation of a new transmitter
through another already memorised
The detailed instructions of each procedure are
reported in the instruction manual of the motor or
the control unit with which you want to make the
transmitter work. These manuals are also available
in the website: www.niceforyou.com. Since in the
manuals the transmitter keys may be identied with
symbols or numbers, please refer to g. 1-B to
know the correspondence between these and the
transmitter keys.
A - Memorisation in “Mode I”
This mode automatically transfers, all together, the
various commands available in the motor, in the var-
ious keys available on the transmitter, without giving
the installer the possibility of changing the combina-
tion among commands and keys. In other words,
during the execution of the procedure that mem-
orises the transmitter in this mode, the system
automatically combines the commands available in
the motor with each key on the transmitter. At the
end of the procedure each key will be combined
with a certain command, according to the factory
set layout.
B - Memorisation in “Mode II”
This mode manually combines one of the com-
mands available in the motor with one of the
transmitter keys, giving the installer the possibility
of choosing the command and the key desired. In
other words, during the execution of the procedure
that memorises the transmitter in this mode, the
installer automatically combines the command
desired (among those available in the motor) with
the desired key of the transmitter. At the end of the
procedure, to memorise another key with another
command desired, it will be necessary to repeat the
procedure once again.
Attention! - Each automation mechanism has its
own list of commands that can be memorised in
Mode II; therefore consult the manual of the motor
or the control unit to choose the command you
want to combine with the transmitter key.
C - Memorisation of a new transmitter
through another already memorised
This procedure memorises additional transmitters, if
at least one transmitter is already memorised in the
motor. The procedure memorises a new transmitter
in the motor, by working at a maximum distance
of 5 m from this, together with another transmitter
already memorised in the same motor. The proce-
dure lets the new transmitter memorise the same
commands in the one already memorised.
REPLACING THE BATTERIES
When the batteries run down, the range of the
transmitter is signicantly reduced. When pressing
any key you will nd that the LED takes a while to
light up (= batteries almost exhausted) and that
the brightness of the LED is dimmed (= batteries
completely exhausted). In these cases, in order
to restore the normal operation of the transmitter,
you need to replace the exhausted batteries with
two of the same type, observing the polarity shown
in g. 4 or 5).
• Battery disposal
Attention! – Exhausted batteries contain polluting
substances; therefore they may not be disposed of
together with unsorted household waste. They must
be disposed of separately, according to the regula-
tions locally in force.
