Congratulations
for having chosen a Nice product
for your automation system! Nice S.p.A. produces
components for the automation of gates, doors, rolling
gates, roller shutters and awnings: gearmotors, control
units, radio controls, flashing lights, photocells and
miscellaneous accessories. Nice uses only the finest
materials and first-class workmanship. It focuses on
the development of innovative solutions designed to
simplify the use of its equipment, dedicating meticu-
lous care to the study of its technical, aesthetic and
ergonomic characteristics: From the wide range of
Nice products, your installation technician will certain-
ly have selected the one best suited to your specific
requirements. However, Nice is not the producer of
your automation system, which is rather the result of a
combination of operations carried out by your installa-
tion technician, namely analysis, evaluation, selection
of materials and system implementation. Each
automation system is unique. Your installation techni-
cian is the only person who possesses the experience
and professionalism needed to set up a system capa-
ble of satisfying your requirements, a system that is
safe, reliable, long lasting and built in accordance with
the regulations in force. An automation system is not
only very convenient; it also improves the level of secu-
rity in your home. Moreover, it will last for years with
very little maintenance. Even though the automation
system you possess meets the safety requirements of
the legislation in force, this does not exclude the exis-
tence of a “residual risk”, i.e. the possibility that dan-
gers may arise, usually as a result of improper or
unreasonable use. We have prepared the following list
of do’s and don’ts to help you avoid any mishaps:
•
Before using your automation system for the
first time,
ask the installer to explain the origin of
any residual risks; take a few minutes and read the
users instructions manual given you by the
installer
. Retain the manual for future use and
deliver it to any subsequent owner of the automation
system.
•
Your automation system is a machine that
will faithfully execute your commands;
unrea-
sonable or improper use may generate dangers: do
not operate the system if there are people, animals
or objects within its range of operation.
•
Children:
automation systems are designed to
guarantee high levels of safety and security. They
are equipped with detection devices that prevent
movement if people or objects are in the way, guar-
anteeing safe and reliable activation. However, chil-
dren should not be allowed to play in the vicinity of
automated systems; to prevent any accidental acti-
vations, keep all remote controls away from chil-
dren:
they are not toys!
•
Malfunctions:
If you notice that your automation is
not functioning properly, disconnect the power sup-
ply to the system and operate the manual release
device. Do not attempt to make any repairs; call the
installation technician and, in the meantime, operate
the system like a non-automatic gate after releasing
the gearmotor as described below.
•
Maintenance:
Like any machine, your automation
needs regular periodic maintenance to ensure its
long life and total safety. Arrange a periodic mainte-
nance schedule with your installation technician.
Nice recommends that maintenance checks be car-
ried out every six months for normal domestic use,
but this interval may vary depending on the intensi-
ty of use. Only qualified personnel are authorized to
carry out checks, maintenance operations and
repairs.
• Do not modify the system or its programming and
adjustment parameters in any way, even if you feel
capable of doing it: your installation technician is
responsible for the system.
• The final test, the periodic maintenance operations
and any repairs must be documented by the person
who has performed them; these documents must
remain under the custody of the owner of the sys-
tem.
The only recommended maintenance
opera-
tions that the user can perform periodically concern
the cleaning of the photocell glasses and the
removal of leaves and debris that may impede the
automation. To prevent anyone from activating the
gate
release the automation system
(as
described below). Use a slightly damp cloth to
clean.
•
Disposal:
At the end of its useful life, the automa-
tion must be dismantled by qualified personnel, and
the materials must be recycled or disposed of in
compliance with the legislation locally in force.
•
In the event of malfunctions or power fail-
ures.
While you are waiting for the technician to
come (or for the power to be restored if your system
is not equipped with buffer batteries), you can oper-
ate the system like any non-automatic gate. In order
to do this you need to manually release the gearmo-
tor (this operation is the only one that the user of the
automation is authorized to perform): This operation
has been carefully designed by Nice to make it
extremely easy, without any need for tools or physi-
cal exertion.
Instructions and Warnings for users of SPIN gearmotor
These instructions can be incorporated with the “Instructions and warnings for the use of the automation” which the installer must give the owner of the automation, and must be incorporated with them.
