On the Slave operator, select Function -> Adv. Settings -> Remote Mst. Slv. 

Then select On -> Slave. The red LED associated with the Master/Slave 

connector will illuminate. 
The Master/Slave pair is now configured. The Slave gate operator will perform 

identical open/close/stop functions in tandem with the Master gate operator. 

18.4 - Programming the plug-in receiver and remote controls 

Nice Plug in Receiver: 

The Nice 433Plug-In Receiver provides up to 15 

channels for specific control of individual gate functions. The receiver includes 
built-in programming functions for adding or removing Nice wireless remote 
controls to/from a gate installation. The following procedures detail the steps 
to assign a remote control, add a new remote control, delete a single remote 
control, or remove all remote controls from the receiver memory. 

Programming the Nice 2-Button or 4-Button Remote Control with the 

Nice Plug-In Receiver. 

These procedures apply to the Nice wireless remote control. These procedures 

assign factory default controls automatically to the remote control. 

1.

 Have a functioning Nice 2-button or 4-button remote control with a battery 

installed prior to programming the remote control. 

2.

 Press and hold the button on the side of the Nice receiver until the led 

illuminates green on the Nice receiver, then release the button. 

3.

 Within 10 seconds, press and hold any key on the Nice remote control until 

the led in the Nice receiver blinks green 3 times, indicating that the Nice is 

programmed to control the receiver. 

4.

 After the led on the Nice receiver blinks green 3 times, another 10 second 

interval is started to program another Nice remote control if desired. Repeat 

step 3 to program the additional Nice remote control. Step 3 may be repeated 

as many times as necessary to program all available Nice remote controls. 

5.

 Verify that the Nice remote control(s) can control the gate by pressing one or 

more buttons individually on the remote control(s). 

Add new remote control to the Nice Plug-In Receiver 

A Nice remote control that has been programmed to control a Nice receiver 

may be used to create other Nice remote controls for the same receiver. This 

procedure needs to be performed within 10 to 20m (30 to 60 feet) of the Nice 

receiver, but the Nice receiver does not need to be physically accessed. 

1.

 Press and hold any button on the non programmed Nice remote control for 

at least 5 seconds, then release the button, taking note of the button that was 

pressed. 

2.

 Press the same button on the programmed Nice remote control three times. 

3.

 Press the same button in step 1 on the non programmed Nice remote control 

and release. 

4.

 It is recommended to test the new copy of the Nice remote control with the 

assigned gate controller. 

NOTE: This procedure will affect all Nice receivers within radio range. 

Deleting a Single Nice Remote Control from the Nice Plug-In Receiver 

Memory 

A Nice remote control that has been programmed to control a Nice receiver may 

be removed from the Nice receiver memory without affecting other assigned 

remote controls. This procedure needs to be performed at the Nice Plug-In 

Receiver with the affected Nice remote control.

1. 

Press and hold the button on the side of the Nice receiver until the led on 

the Nice receiver illuminates green and keep the button pressed. The led will 

illuminate after approximately 4 seconds. 

2. 

Press and hold any button on the Nice remote control until the led on the Nice 

receiver blinks 5 green flashes 

3. 

Release the button on the side of the Nice receiver. 

4.

 It is recommended to verify that the non programmed Nice remote control no 

longer controls the gate.

Figure - COMMUNICATION BUSES 

OVIEW

Programming and diagnostic unit which connects directly to the gate 

controller and is part of the Nice “Opera” control system. The unit can be 

used in “stand-alone” mode via its front-panel keypad, or it may be accessed 

via a Bluetooth or cellular-enabled PDA, PC, or Smartphone when used with 

the 

O-View Software Suite. This unit, when matched with the OVIEW Bluetooth 

or 

GSM modules, enables remote control and management of the gate 

controller. Remote control functions include most of the programming 

functions that are available at the front panel LCD on the control board as 

well as software updates. 

OVBT:

 Bluetooth module for OVIEW and the “O-View Software Suite” 

application for PC, PDA, or Smartphone for localized wireless control of the 

gate controller. 

OVBTGSM:

 Combination GSM and Bluetooth module that plugs into the 

OVIEW and provides cellular phone access through the “O-View Software 

Suite” application for PC, PDA, or Smartphone, for wireless local, national, 

and international controller of the gate controller. 

O-VIEW Software Suite:

 Provides desktop or Smartphone level control of 

the gate controller. Other benefits include software updates that can be made 

as new versions of software are made available. 

BLUEBUS ACCESSORIES
MOTB:

 Moon Touch programmable keypad with secure codes (up to 9 digits 

per code if required) to control gate opening and closing. Connects to the 

2-wire BlueBUS connector with inexpensive unshielded twisted-pair wire. 

MOFB:

 Photocell transmitter and receiver pair that connects to the 2-wire 

BlueBUS connector with inexpensive unshielded twisted-pair wire and is a 

non-contact sensor for entrapment protection as specified in UL325, Section 

31.1 “General Entrapment Protection Provisions”. 

MASTER/SLAVE - ONLY USED IN 24V COMMERCIAL OPERATORS

The gate operator includes a two-pin connector designed to link two 

separate gate operators together as a Master/Slave pair. The Master/Slave 

configuration is enabled by connecting two gate operators with simple, 

unshielded twisted-pair wire (Max.100 ft.). All entrapment sensors, switch 

inputs, receiver controls, and outputs must be wired to the gate operator 

designated as the “Master”. The following procedure outlines the process for 

configuring the Master/Slave pair. 
Perform the “Learn” process to configure open and close limits with the gate 

for each operator. See the “Programming Quick Start” procedures in this 

manual for a description of the gate learning process. 
On the Master operator, select Function -> Adv. Settings -> Remote Mst. Slv. 

Then select On -> Master. The red LED associated with the Master/Slave 

connector will illuminate.
