Figure 18 - COMMUNICATION BUS

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 all 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:

 GSM 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 

wirelessly 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.

MOMB:

 Proximity card access control with capacity for up to 255 MOCARD 

or MOCARDP transponder cards. Connects to the 2-wire BlueBUS connector 
with inexpensive unshielded twisted-pair wire.

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.
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.

15.4 - Programming the plug-in receiver and remote controls

Plugin  Receiver: 

The SMXI/A 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 FloR/A 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 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 receiver until the led illuminates 

green on the receiver, then release the button.

3.

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

led in the receiver blinks green 3 times, indicating that the is programmed 
to control the receiver. 

4.

 After the led on the 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 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).

Wirelessly 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 un-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 un-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 de-programmed Nice remote control 

no longer controls the gate.
