Instructions and Warnings for users of A60 control unit
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 meticulous care to the study of
its technical, aesthetic and ergonomic characteristics: From the
wide range of Nice products, your installation technician will cer-
tainly have selected the one best suited to your specific require-
ments. However, Nice is not the producer of your automation
system, which is rather the result of a combination of operations
carried out by your installation technician, namely analysis, eval-
uation, selection of materials and system implementation. Each
automation system is unique. Your installation technician is the
only person who possesses the experience and professionalism
needed to set up a system capable of satisfying your require-
ments, 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 security
in your home. Moreover, it will last for years with very little main-
tenance. Even though the automation system you posses meets
the safety requirements of the legislation in force, this does not
exclude the existence of a "residual risk", i.e. the possibility that
dangers may arise, usually as a result of improper or unreason-
able 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 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 faith-
fully execute your commands; unreasonable 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, guaranteeing safe and reliable activation. However, chil-
dren should not be allowed to play in the vicinity of automated
systems; to prevent any accidental activations, keep all remote
controls away from children: they are not toys!
• Photocells do not constitute actual safety devices,
but safety aids. They are designed using highly reliable tech-
nology, but in extreme conditions may be subject to malfunc-
tions or potential faults, and in certain cases these faults are not
immediately evident.
For this reason, it is good practice to observe the following:
- Transit is admitted only if the gate or door is completely open
with the leafs stationary
- Transit while the gate or door is closing is STRICTLY PRO-
HIBITED!
Periodically check correct operation of the photocells and per-
form the scheduled maintenance at least every six months.
• Malfunctions: If you notice that your automation is not func-
tioning properly, disconnect the power supply 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 door after
releasing the gearmotor as described below.
• Maintenance: Like any machine, your automation needs reg-
ular periodic maintenance to ensure its long life and total safe-
ty. Arrange a periodic maintenance schedule with your installa-
tion technician. Nice recommends that maintenance checks be
carried out every six months for normal domestic use, but this
interval may very depending on the intensity of use. Only qual-
ified personnel are authorised 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 system.
The only recommended maintenance operations that the user can
perform periodically concern the cleaning of the photocell glasses
and the removal o leaves and debris that may impede the
automation. To prevent anyone from activating the gate release
the automation system. Use a slightly damp cloth to clean.
• Disposal: At the end of its useful life, the automation must be
dismantled by qualified personnel, and the materials must be
recycled or disposed of in compliance with the legislation local-
ly in force.
• In the event of malfunctions or power failures. 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 operate the system like any non-automatic gate. In
order to do this you need to manually release the gearmotor
(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 physical exertion.
• Replacing the Remote Control Battery: if your radio con-
trol, after a period of time, seems not to work as well, or not to
work at all, it may simply be that the battery is exhausted
(depending on the type of use, it may last from several months
up to one year and more). In this case you will see that the light
confirming the transmission is weak, or does not come on, or
comes on only briefly. Before calling the installation technician
try exchanging the battery with one from another operating
transmitter: if the problem is caused by a low battery, just
replace it with another of the same type. The batteries contain
polluting substances: do not dispose of them together with oth-
er waste but use the methods established by local regulations.
Are you satisfied? If you wish to install another automation
system in your home, call your old installation technician and use
Nice products. You will get the services of a specialist and the
most advanced products available on the market, superior per-
formances and maximum system compatibility. Thank you for
reading these instructions. We feel confident that you will be well
satisfied with your new system: for any present or future require-
ments, please contact your reliable installation technician.
