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

According to the most recent European legislation, the
automation of doors or gates is governed by the provisions
listed in Directive 98/37/CE (Machine Directive) and, more
specifically, to provisions: EN 13241-1 (harmonised standard);
EN 12445; EN 12453 and EN 12635, which enables to declare
the conformity to the machine directive.
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 ROBUS gearmotor” which is to be removed by the installer,
none of the information provided in this manual can be considered as
being of interest to end users!
• Any use or operation of ROAD200 which is not explicitly provided for
in these instructions is not permitted. Improper use may cause dam-
age 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.
Risk analysis is one of the documents included in the “Technical Doc-
umentation” for this automation.
• Check whether additional devices are needed to complete the
automation with ROBUS 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
ROBUS 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 ROBUS packing materials 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.
• Disconnect all the power supply circuits before accessing the terminals
inside the ROBUS cover. If the disconnection device is not identifiable,
post the following sign on it: “WARNING: MAINTENANCE WORK IN
PROGRESS”.
