Warnings
This manual contains important information regarding safety. Before you
start installing the components, it is important that you read all the infor-
mation contained herein. Store this manual safely for future use.
Due to the dangers which may arise during both the installation and use
of the METRO, installation must be carried out in full respect of the laws,
provisions and rules currently in force in order to ensure maximum safe-
ty. This chapter provides details of general warnings. Other, more spe-
cific warnings are detailed in Chapters "2.1 Preliminary Checks" and "5
Testing and Commissioning".
According to the most recent European legislation, the produc-
tion of automatic doors or gates is governed by the provisions
listed in Directive 98/37/CE (Machine Directive) and, more specif-
ically, to provisions: EN 12445, EN 12453 and EN 12635, which
enable manufacturers to declare the presumed conformity of the
product.
Please access "www.niceforyou.com" for further information, and guide-
lines for risk analysis and how to draw up the Technical Documentation.
• This manual has been especially written for use by qualified fitters.
Except for the enclosed specification "Instructions and Warnings for
Users of the METRO gearmotor" which is to be removed by the
installer, none of the information provided in this manual can be con-
sidered as being of interest to end users!
• Any use or operation of METRO which is not explicitly provided for in
these instructions is not permitted. Improper use may cause damage
and personal injury.
• Risk analysis must be carried out before starting installation, to include
the list of essential safety requisites provided for in Enclosure I of the
Machine Directive, indicating the relative solutions employed.

1) Product Description

METRO is a gearmotor designed for the automation of single-leaf or
double-leaf gates.
!
Any applications other than those described above or
under different conditions from those specified in this manu-
al are forbidden.
2) Installation

2.1) Preliminary Checks

Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that the structure
is suitable and that it complies with the regulations in force. In par-
ticular, you need to make sure that:
• there are no points of friction in the opening and closing travel of the
gate;
• the gate is well balanced, i.e., once it is stopped in any position it
should not show a tendency to start moving again;
• the gate opens and closes smoothly and noiselessly;
• the area selected for gearmotor installation enables easy and safe
manual manoeuvring;

2.2) Operating Limits

The shape and height of the gate (e.g. blind) and the weather con-
ditions (e.g. strong winds) may significantly reduce the values shown
in the chart.
* If any of the gate leaves is wider than 2.5 metres, we recommend
the installation of an electric lock (PLA10 or PLA11).
N.B. Risk analysis is one of the documents included in the "Technical
Documentation" for this automation.
• Check whether additional devices are needed to complete the
automation with METRO based on the specific application require-
ments and dangers present. The following risks must be considered:
impact, crushing, shearing, dragging, etc. as well as other general
dangers.
• Do not modify any components unless such action is specified in this
manual. Operations of this type are likely to lead to malfunctions. NICE
disclaims any liability for damage resulting from modified products.
• During installation and use, ensure that solid objects or liquids do not
penetrate inside the control unit or other open devices. If necessary,
please contact the NICE customer service department; the use of
METRO in these conditions can be dangerous.
• The automation system must not be used until it has been commis-
sioned as described in chapter 5: " Testing and commissioning".
• The packing materials of METRO must be disposed of in compliance
with local regulations.
• If a fault occurs that cannot be solved using the information provided
in this manual, refer to the NICE customer service department.
• In the event that any automatic switches are tripped or fuses blown,
you must identify the fault and eliminate it before resetting the switch-
es or replacing fuses.
• Before accessing the METRO connection terminals, disconnect
all power circuits. If the disconnection device is not identifiable, post
the following sign on it: "WARNING: MAINTENANCE WORK IN
PROGRESS".
METRO operates with electric power. In the event of a power failure,
the gearmotor can be released using suitable keys in order to move
the leaves manually.
• check the integrity of the package
• make sure that the mounting area is compatible with the dimen-
sions of the box (fig.1)
• provide a closing strike and, if possible, also an opening strike.
!
Please keep in mind that METRO is designed to drive an
efficient, safe gate (with one or two leaves), and is not intend-
ed to make up for defects resulting from improper installation
or poor maintenance.
