PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
This product is a radio transmitter mounted on the wall,
belonging to the “ERA W” series. It is intended to control
automations with winding rollers such as sun screens,
shutters, blinds and other similar applications. Any oth-
er use is improper and forbidden!
Functional specifications
• Models are available for controlling a single group of
automations while others control up to 6 groups; some
models also have controls for climate sensors. • Each
model is equipped with a wall plate, for holding the
transmitter. To install this accessory please refer to fig. 2.
• Fig. 1 reports all the keys which may be on the trans
-
mitters, based on the model. Their use is as follows:
A - “Unit” keys (only in the W6I/U and W6SI/U mod-
els): are required to select the automation mecha-
nism/s to send the commands to. While memoris-
ing the transmitter it is necessary to programme at
least one of these keys, associating at least one au-
tomation mechanism/s to them. This makes the key
a “unit for the reception of the commands”, mean-
ing that the automation mechanisms associated to
it will receive the same commands during the use of
the transmitter. The other keys can be programmed
in a similar manner, depending on the requirements
of your automation. In effect, it is like having 6 inde
-
pendent transmitters in a single control unit.
B -
Command keys (in all the models): are required to
send the rise (▲), stop (■) and lower (▼) commands.
In the W6I/U and W6SI/U models, prior to sending a
command, select the “unit” to send the command to.
C - Control keys of the automatic commands (on-
ly in the W1SI/U and W6SI/U models): key
ena-
bles the motor to receive automatic commands from
climate sensors; key
disables reception. When
is pressed the system sets the automatic operating
mode of the automation mechanism whereas when
is pressed the system sets the manual operat-
ing mode of the automation mechanism. Note – The
“Wind” sensor may not be disabled since it is required
to protect the automation mechanism from wind
damage. With the automatic operating mode ena-
bled, the user may send manual commands any time.
For more information please refer to the manual of the
automation mechanism and the weather sensor.
D - Programming keys (in all the models): in the com-
patible 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 procedures, whereas
the ESC key speeds up the exit from them. To ac
-
cess the keys remove the battery cover.
For models W6I/U and W6SI/U: when running the
procedures, when you are prompted to press PRG
or ESC, use the number keys to first select the group
(or groups) for which the action commanded by PRG
or ESC is intended.
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 (fig. 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 W6I/U and W6SI/U models)
With these transmitter models, before you send a com-
mand, you must select the “group” of automations (i.e.
the number key to which it corresponds) 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 first selected (to can
-
cel a group you have selected by mistake, switch its LED
off by pressing and releasing the respective number key).
After selecting the units desired, when their LEDs auto-
matically turn off, the units will remain in the transmitter’s
memory until a new unit/s is/are selected. While they re-
main in memory, commands can be sent to them with-
out having to select them anew each time.
• Enable or disable the reception of the automatic
commands sent from a weather sensor (only for
the W1SI/U and W6SI/U models)
With these transmitter models it is possible to enable or
disable the reception of the automatic commands com
-
ing from any weather sensor connected (for example,
the “Sun” sensor). To manage automations connected
to climate sensors, we recommend using a single trans
-
mitter with keys for enabling/disabling the automatic
commands.
Only for the W6SI/U model: with this transmitter, before
you enable or disable the function, you must first select
the “group” (or groups) to which you wish to send the
setting. While using these transmitters, to check wheth
-
er the groups are enabled or disabled, select one group
at a time and observe the Led’s:
lit; off = function enabled;
off; lit = function disabled;
Note – If more units are selected and the two LEDs ap
-
pear 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 re-
ceiver) it is possible to choose one of the following pro-
cedures, compatibly with the presence of this in the
manual of the control unit or the receiver:
A - Memorisation in “Mode I” (also called “Standard
mode”).
B - Memorisation in “Mode II” (also called “Custom
mode”).
C - Memorisation of a new transmitter through another
already memorised.
The detailed instructions of each procedure are report-
ed 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 identified with symbols or numbers, please
refer to fig. 1-B to know the correspondence between
these and the transmitter keys.
A - Memorisation in “Mode I” (standard)
There are numerous procedures or memorising the
transmitter in this mode. However, when running one of
these procedures, the system automatically maps the
motor’s commands to the transmitter’s keys. Since this
happens automatically and the installer cannot change
the mapping of keys to commands, the procedure
maps each key to a factory default command.
B - Memorisation in “Mode II” (custom)
There are numerous procedures or memorising the
transmitter in this mode. However, when running one
of these procedures, the installer maps a single mo
-
tor command to an individual transmitter key. Since
this process is manual, the installer can customise the
transmitter to suit his requirements; for example, he
may memorise some of the transmitter’s keys in the re-
ceiver of one automation, and others (from the same
transmitter) in another automation’s receiver, and so on.
Note – Each “Mode II” procedure maps just a single key
to a single command. The procedure must be repeated
for each mapping.
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 an
-
other already memorised
This procedure memorises additional transmitters only
if at least one transmitter has already been memorised
in the motor. The procedure memorises the transmitter
at up to 20 m from the motor’s receiver, using a second
transmitter which has already been memorised in the
motor in question. The procedure memorises the new
transmitter with the same commands as those mapped
on the previously memorised transmitter.
REPLACING THE BATTERIES
When the batteries run down, the range of the trans-
mitter is significantly reduced. When pressing any key
you will find that the LED takes a while to light up (= bat-
teries 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 bat-
teries with two of the same type, observing the polarity
shown in fig. 4).
• Battery disposal
Attention! – Exhausted batteries contain polluting sub-
stances; therefore they may not be disposed of togeth-
er with unsorted household waste. They must be dis-
