INSTALLATION AND PROGRAMMING MANUAL

IMPORTANT!
The gate operator installation is NOT a “do-it-
yourself” project. Contract a qualified gate operator
installation company to install this system to ensure
a safe and reliable installation.
It is the responsibility of the property owner to
ensure the installer is qualified to carry out the
installation in a safe and professional manner.
Consult local government agencies for latest
rules and regulations to satisfy licensing, codes or
regulations for automated gate system design and
installation.
SAFETY, WARNINGS, AND CAUTIONS
A gate operator is only a component in a gate system. The
other parts of the gate system can include:
• the gate
• the external entrapment sensors
• access controls
• vehicle detectors
To have a gate system that provides safety, security, and
reliable operation it is essential these components operate
together as a system. It is the responsibility of the system
designer and/or installer to ensure any safety or operational
issues have been addressed.
DANGER!
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE INJURY, DEATH,
OR PROPERTY DAMAGE READ AND FOLLOW ALL
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
• Never let children operate or play with gate controls.
Keep the remote control away from children.
• Always keep people and objects away from the gate. No
one should cross the path of the moving gate.
• Test the gate operator monthly. Gate must reverse
on contact with a rigid object or stop when an object
activates the non-contact sensors. After adjusting the
force or the limit of travel, retest the gate operator.
Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator properly
can increase the risk of injury or death.
• Use the emergency release only when gate is not moving.
• Keep gates properly maintained. Read the user’s manual.
Have a qualified service person make repairs to gate
hardware.
• The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use
separate entrance.
• Save these instructions.
UL325 USAGE CLASSES
The UL325 standard covers gate operators. Within this safety
standard several Usage Classes are described that define
different types of installations where gate operators can
be applied. Some operators are restricted in their usage
application. All Nice USA operators are approved for use
in all four UL325 Usage Classes. Appropriate Usage Classes
are shown in the Specifications.
CLASS I RESIDENTIAL GATE OPERATOR:
Intended for
use in a location of one to four single family dwellings or
a parking area associated with one to four single family
dwellings.
CLASS II COMMERCIAL/GENERAL ACCESS GATE
OPERATOR:
Intended for use in a commercial location or
building such as a multi-family housing units (five or more
single family units) hotels, garages, retail stores or other
buildings servicing general public.
CLASS III INDUSTRIAL/LIMITED ACCESS GATE
OPERATOR:
Intended for use in an industrial location or
building such as factories or loading docks or other locations
not intended to service general public.
CLASS IV RESTRICTED ACCESS GATE OPERATOR:
Intended for use in guarded industrial locations or buildings
such as an airport security area or other restricted access
location, not servicing general public, in which access is
monitored by security personnel or via closed circuitry.
VEHICULAR TRAFFIC ONLY
This automatic gate operator is not designed nor is it
intended for pedestrian traffic. Vehicular gate operators must
by their nature be powerful to function reliably. This power
can cause injury or death. Accordingly, direct all pedestrian
traffic to a separate walk-through gate.
GATE INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Install this gate operator only when:
• The operator is appropriate for the construction of the
gate and the usage Class of the gate;
• All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or
screened from the bottom of the gate to a minimum of
1.83 meters (6 feet) above the ground to prevent a 57.2
mm (2-1/4 inches) diameter sphere from passing through
the openings anywhere in the gate, and the portion of the
adjacent fence that the gate covers in the open position;
• All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded;
• guarding is supplied for exposed rollers);
• When utilizing a Nice 936 board, a maximum of 8
entrapment protection devices (6 BlueBUS and 2 pulse
outputs may be connected.
