3.2 - Suitability of the gate to automate and the surrounding
environment
• Check that the gate mechanical structure is suitable to be automated and
complies with the Standards in force on the territory (if necessary, refer to the
data given on the gate label).
• Moving the gate panel manually in Opening and in Closure, check that the
movement takes place with the same and constant friction in all points of the
run (there must not be moments of greater effort).
• Check that the gate panel stays in equilibrium, i.e. that is does not move if
taken manually into any position and left.
• Check that the space around the gear motor allows to manually release the
gate panels easily and safely.
• Envision end run retainers on the ground both for opening and closure of
the gate.
• Check that the gear motor fixing area is compatible with the clearance of the
latter (fig. 1).

3.3 - Limits of use for the product

Before installing the product, check that the gate panel has dimensions and
weight that lie within the limits given in graph 1; also evaluate the climatic con-
ditions (e.g. strong wind) present in the place of installation. They can greatly
reduce the values given in the graph.

3.4 - Set-up for installation

Fig. 2 shows an example of automated plant realised with Nice components.
These components are positioned according to the typical and usual layout.
With reference to fig. 2, establish the approximate position where each com-
ponent envisioned in the plant will be installed and the most appropriate con-
nection layout.
Components useful for realising a complete plant (fig. 2):
A - Electro-mechanical gear motors
B - Control unit
C - Pair of photocells
D - Columns for pairs of photocells (C)
E - Flashing signal with antenna incorporated
F - Digital keyboard
G - Pair of mechanical stops in opening and closure
H - Key selector switch

3.5 - Installation

01. Carry out large foundation excavations, for positioning the foundation case
(fig. 3): envision a drain pipe for the water in order to prevent stagnation;
02. Place the foundation case in the excavated area, with the hole aligned
with the axis of the upper hinge (fig. 4);
03. Envision a conduit for the passage of the power input cable and one for
draining the water;
04. Sink the foundation case in the concrete, making sure that it is perfectly
level (fig. 5);
05. At this point, make 3 threaded holes M10 on the lower part of the panel
with minimum depth of 15 mm (fig. 6). Note – As an alternative to the
screws, it is possible to fix the panel hitching lever with strong welding;
06. Fix the panel hitching lever using 3 screws (fig. 6);
07. IMPORTANT! – Lubricate the foundation case bush (fig. 7);
08. Insert the hitching lever already fixed to the panel into the foundation case
bush (fig. 8);
09. If the gate has its own mechanical stops (fig. 2 - G) pass directly to point
10. Otherwise, if the gate does not have its own mechanical stops or if at
end run all of the motor thrust is not to be applied to the panel, it is possi-
ble to use the end runs inside the gear motor and proceed as follows:
a) Insert the regulation dowels (for the opening and closing end run) in the
holes prepared on the foundation case:
- Panel opening to 90°: see fig. 9 for the left and right panel.
- Panel opening to 180°: see fig. 10.
b) Regulation of the end run (opening and closure): activate the end

runs until the desired stop point in opening and closure is reached. Finally,
add the nuts and if the end run positions are correct, tighten the nuts well
(fig. 11);
10. At this point, insert the motor inside the foundation case, pushing it to the
end of the case aligning the fixing holes present on the gear motor with
those of the case itself (fig. 12);
11. Insert the supplied screw fasteners into the holes (fig. 13) and tighten them
slightly until the gear motor is slightly raised with respect to the bottom of
the case;
12. Now move the panel slowly to allow engagement with the motor and then
tighten the screw fasteners fully home (fig. 14);
13. Pass the power input cable through a previously prepared raceway (fig. 15):
to make the electric connection to the control unit, see chapter 4 and refer to
the control unit manual;
14. Position three lids "A, B, C" respecting the following circuit:
a) Place the upper lid "A" on the foundation case and run it to stop
(fig. 16 - 1), Insert lid "B" into the slot at the same time (fig. 16 - 2)
b) Fix lid "A" using the 3 supplied screws (fig. 16 - 3)
c) Fix the lower lid "C" using the screws supplied (fig. 16 - 4 and 5).

3.6 - Manual release and block of the gear motor

To release and block the gear motor, use the supplied triangular spanner:
• Release:
01. Insert the wrench into one of the 2 lateral holes present on the upper lid
and turn it 180°, indifferently in one of the two directions (fig. 17);
02. Move the panel manually and take it to the desired position.
• Block:
01. Insert the wrench into one of the 2 lateral holes and turn it 180° indifferent-
ly in one of the two directions (fig. 17);
02. The panel will block at the first manoeuvre commanded by the control unit.

ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS

Recommendations:
- The gear motor is supplied with an electric power input cable measuring 2 m.
Therefore, if a greater distance must be covered to perform the electric con-
nections, a diversion box must be used (not supplied). IMPORTANT! – It is
prohibited to join the electric cable inside the foundation case.
- Make the electric connections with the mains power input disconnected.
To connect the power input cable to the control unit, see the manual regarding
the latter and the following indications:
Blu wire = 24 V motor power input
Brown wire = 24 V motor power input
Black wire = Encoder (XME2124 version only)
Grey wire = Encoder (XME2124 version only)
Yellow/Green wire = Earth

INSPECTION AND COMMISSIONING

ATTENTION! – The operations described in this chapter must only be
performed by qualified and skilled staff, respecting the instructions in the
manual, the laws and the Safety Standards in force on the territory.
This is the most important phase in the realisation of the automation, in order to
guarantee maximum safety of the system. The inspection procedure described
can also be used to periodically check the devices that make up the automa-
tion.
The inspection phases and commissioning of the automation must be per-
formed by qualified and expert staff that must establish the tests necessary to
check the solutions used regarding the risks present and to check respect with
that envisioned by the Laws, Standards and Regulations: particularly, all requi-
sites of the EN 12445 Standard, which establishes the test methods for check-
ing the gate automations.
ATTENTION! – Before carrying out any check, disconnect any electrical
power input source.
