Preliminary Checks - nicai systems FT210B Instrucciones Y Advertencias Para El Instalador

Because the F210B photocells have a horizontal scope of 210° and a vertical scope of 30°, they can also be applied on uneven
surfaces where the correct alignment between TX and RX is not possible (see fig 2).

The FT210B photocell assembled following the instruc-
tions and including the TCB65 sensitive edge and con-
trol unit with BlueBUS technology, has been certified
by the manufacturer as totally or partially conforming
to the following standards:
• EN 954-1 - Machine safety - Parts of the control system
related to safety - General design principles
• EN 1760-2 - Machine safety - Pressure sensitive protec-
tion devices - General design and test principles for pres-
3) Installation
!
The system must be disconnected from the mains
power supply during installation. If buffer batteries are
present, these must also be disconnected.

3.1) Preliminary checks

• Check carefully that the use parameters conform to the
data indicated in the "technical characteristics" chapter. If
in doubt, do not use the product and contact the Nice
technical assistance department.
Due to the peculiarity and uniqueness of the product, certain
aspects concerning the operating principles must be evalu-
ated before proceeding with the installation in order to ensure
maximum safety and functionality.
• The transmitter continuously controls the status of the sen-
sitive edge and transmits the information to the receiver. In
order to reduce the consumption of the battery and main-
tain the required safety level, this operation is performed
with 2 different "speeds": SLOW when the gate is at a
standstill; FAST when the gate is moving. The transmitter
detects the status of the gate through a special sensor that
detects the vibration of the moving gate. As soon as the
gate begins to move the transmitter switches to the FAST
mode and remains so until the gate is motionless for 10 or
90 seconds (see jumpers JP2 and JP3 in table 1). In order
to guarantee the required safety level, the receiver must
recognise the gate status, above all to check whether the
transmitter SLOW and FAST speed is correct. This control
mechanism is performed through the BlueBUS. The con-
trol unit sends the gate in movement signals throughout
the entire movement, and the receiver controls the correct
procedure of the transmitter.
• FT210B has been designed not to interfere with and not to
be interfered with by other photocells, meaning that the
FT210B can be used along with other photocells, but it is
necessary to pay attention that:
1. if photocells with BlueBUS technology are used, the num-
ber of photocells to be combined to the FT210B device is
sure sensitive edges and bars.
• EN 12978 - Industrial, commercial and garage doors and
gates. Safety devices for motorised doors and gates - Test
methods and Requirements
!
The FT210B does not comprise a complete safety
device but is only part of it!
not a problem, as long as they are installed as indicated in
Fig. 4, 5 and 6.
2. if standard NICE photocells are used, functioning with at
least one other pair of photocells is guaranteed
3. if photocells are used that are not produced by NICE, func-
tioning may not be guaranteed.
In any case, to check that there are no effects caused by oth-
er devices, carefully perform the testing procedure indicated
in chapter 4 and check the related signals in table 4.
• Two FT210B devices cannot be positioned to cover the
same area. If a receiver were to detect the signals of two
transmitters, it would switch to the "safety" mode prevent-
ing the movement of the gate. See the specific signal in
table 4.
• Two FT210B devices can be positioned to cover the front
(FT A) and back (FT B) of the same gate, as illustrated in
figure 3.
• Two sensitive edges can be fitted, front and back (FT C), to
a gate with a single FT210B device, which are connected
together in cascade as described in chapter 3.1.1.
In this case the FT210B device can be used both as a
presence detector, by positioning the transmitter and
receiver as illustrated in figure 4, or as a simple detector of
the sensitive edge status, by positioning the transmitter
and receiver as illustrated in figure 5.
• In the case of gates set opposite one another and syn-
chronised in the master-slave mode (with Robus or Run),
two FT210B devices (FT B and FT C) can be positioned as
illustrated in figure 6. A single sensitive edge can be fitted
on each gate or 2 sensitive edges (front and back) that are
connected together in cascade as described in chapter
3.1.1.
In all the cases indicated in figures 3, 4, 5 and 6, a JPX jum-
per must be placed on the receiver (see table 3) in order to
obtain the function (FT A; FT B or FT C) as illustrated in the
related figures.
