GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS AND
PRECAUTIONS
1.1 - Safety warnings
• CAUTION! - This manual contains important instructions and warn-
ings for personal safety. Wrong installation can cause serious injuries. Be-
fore starting work read all the manual carefully. If in doubt, stop installation
and ask the Nice Assistance Department for clarifications.
• CAUTION! – According to the most recent European legislation, the
realisation of an automatic door or gate must comply with the reg-
ulations of Directive 98/37/CE (Machine Directive) and in particular,
standards EN 12445; EN 12543; EN 12635 and EN 13214-1, which de-
clare the presumed conformity of the automation. In consideration of
this, all the installation, connection, inspection and maintenance op-
erations of the product must be performed exclusively by a qualified
and competent technician!
• CAUTION! – Important instructions: keep this manual for any possible
future requirement for maintenance and disposal of the product.
1.2 - Warnings for installation
• Before installing check if this product is suited to automating your gate or
door (see chapter 3 and "Technical features of the product"). If unsuitable,
DO NOT proceed with the installation.
• Include a disconnection device in the power supply system with an opening
distance between the contacts to permit full disconnection in the conditions
dictated by the category of surcharge III.
• All the installation and maintenance operations must occur with the
automation disconnected from the electrical power supply. If the dis-
connection device of the power supply is not visible from the area where the
automatism is located, before starting the work it is necessary to attach a
sign with the text "CAUTION! MAINTENANCE IN PROGRESS" on the dis-
connection device.
• During installation handle the automatism with care avoiding crushing,
knocks, falls or contact with liquids of any kind. Do not place the product
near sources of heat, or expose it to naked flames. All these activities can
damage and cause malfunctions or dangerous situations. If this occurs, stop
the installation immediately and contact the Nice Assistance Department.
• Do not make alterations to any part of the product. Operations which are not
permitted will cause only malfunctions. The manufacturer declines any liability
for damage caused by arbitrary alterations to the product.
• If the gate or the door to be automated is fitted with a pedestrian door it is
necessary to include a control system in the installation to prevent the opera-
tion of the motor when the pedestrian door is open.
• Check there are no trapping points towards fixed parts when the leaf of the
gate is in the maximum Open position, if necessary protect these parts.
• The push button control on the wall must be positioned in sight of the auto-
mation, away from the moving parts, at a minimum height of 1.5 m from the
ground and it must not be accessible to the public.
• The product packaging material must be disposed of respecting the local
regulations in force.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT
AND ENVISAGED USE
This product is intended to be used for automating swing gates or doors in an
exclusively residential context. CAUTION! – Any other use different to that
described and in ambient conditions different to those set out in this
manual is to be considered improper and forbidden!
The product is an electromechanical gear motor, equipped with a 24 v continu-
ous current or 230V (depending on the model) alternate current motor and an
endless screw reduction gear.
The gear motor is powered by the external control unit to which it is connected.
In the event of a black out, it is possible to move the gate leaves by hand, un-
blocking the gear motor manually.
Fig. 1 shows all the components provided in the package (according to the
model chosen):
[a] - electromechanical gear motor
[b] - front bracket (for fixing the gear motor to the gate leaf)
[c] - rear bracket and plate (for fixing the gear motor to the wall)
[d] - metal parts (screws, washers, etc.)
[e] - keys to manually unlock the gear motor

INSTALLATION
3.1 - Checks before installation
Before installation, check the integrity of the components, suitability of the
model chosen and suitability of the environment chosen for the installation.
IMPORTANT – The gear motor cannot automate a manual gate which
does not have a safe and efficient mechanical structure. Furthermore,
it cannot solve the faults caused by wrong installation or bad mainte-
nance of the gate itself.
3.2 - Suitability of the gate to being automated and the
surrounding environment
• Check the mechanical structure of the gate is suited to being automated and
conforms to the national laws in force (if necessary make reference to the da-
ta on the gate label).
• Moving the gate leaf manually in Open and Close position, check the move-
ment occurs with equal and constant attrition at each point of the stroke
(there must be no moments of greater effort).
• Check the gate leaf remains balanced, that it does not move if brought man-
ually to any position and left stopped.
• Check the space around the gear motor allows to manually unblock the gate
leaf, easily and safely.
• Check the surfaces chosen for installing the product are solid and can guar-
antee stable fixing.
• Check the fixing zone of the gear motor is compatible with the size of the lat-
ter, see fig. 2: the correct Opening movement of the gate and the force the
motor exerts to perform it, depend on the position in which the rear fixing
bracket is secured. Therefore, before installing it is necessary to make refer-
ence to graph 2 to define the maximum Opening angle of the leaf and the
force of the motor, suited to the individual system.
3.3 - Limits of use of the product
Before installing the product, check the gate leaf is the right size and weight
and falls within the limits shown in graph 1.
3.4 - Preparing for installation
Fig. 3 shows an example of an automation system designed with Nice com-
ponents. These components are positioned according to a typical and usual
scheme.
Making reference to fig. 3, decide the approximate position in which to install
each component envisaged by the system and the most appropriate connec-
tion diagram.
Useful components for producing a complete system (fig. 3):
A - Electromechanical gear motors
B - Couple of photocells
C - Couple of stop blocks (in Opening)
D - Columns for photocells
E - Flashing signalling device with incorporated antenna
F - Key selector switch or digital keypad
G - Control unit
3.5 - Installation of fixing brackets and gear motor
3.5.1 – Installation of rear fixing bracket
Calculate the position of the rear bracket using graph 2.
This graph serves to establish dimensions A and B and the value of the
maximum opening angle of the leaf. Important – The values of A and B
must be similar to allow linear movement of the automation.
01. Measure dimension C (fig. 4) on the fixing side;
02. On graph 2, identify dimension C found and trace a horizontal line that
