STEP 1
Important installer and user safety instructions.
• If this is the first time that you install a GD sectional or overhead door
automation system we recommend that you dedicate some of your time
to reading this manual. You should read it before you start installing the
system, so you do not have to rush to finish the work.
Keep all the components of the GD system handy so that you can read,
check and verify all the information contained in this manual. However, do
not carry out the adjustment and memorisation stages otherwise, during
the actual installation of the products, you will have to deal with settings
that differ from the original factory ones.
• When reading this manual, pay special attention to the sections marked
by the following symbol:
these sections are particularly important for safety.
• Store this manual for future use.
• This manual, as well as the design and manufacture of the devices that
make up GD, comply fully with the standards and regulations in force.
• Considering the hazards that may exist during the installation and opera-
tion of GD, it is necessary that also the installation be carried out in strict
compliance with current legislation, standards and regulations, particularly:
• This manual contains important information regarding personal
safety; before you start installing the components, it is important
that you read and understand all the information contained herein.
Do not proceed with the installation if you have doubts of any sort;
if necessary, refer to the Nice customer service department for
clarifications.
• Follow all the installation instructions.
• Before you start with the installation, make sure that each single
GD device is suitable for the intended automation purposes; pay
special attention to the data provided in chapter 6 "Technical char-
acteristics". If even a single device is not suitable for the intended
application, do not proceed with the installation.
• Before you start with the installation, check whether additional
devices or materials are needed to complete the automation with
GD based on the specific application requirements.
• The GD automation system must not be installed outdoors.
• The GD automation system must not be used until the auto-
mation has been commissioned as described in paragraph 3.7.2
"Commissioning".
• The GD automation system cannot be considered as a suitable
intrusion protection system. If you require efficient protection you
need to integrate GD with other devices.
• The packaging materials for GD must be disposed of in compli-
ance with local regulations.
• Do not make modifications to any components unless provided
for in this manual. This type of operations will only cause malfunc-
tions. Nice disclaims any liability for damage resulting from modi-
fied products.
• Components must never be immersed in water or other liquids.
Also during installation, do not allow liquids to enter the gearmo-
tor or other open devices.

WARNINGS
• In the event that liquid substances have penetrated inside the
automation devices, immediately disconnect the power supply
and contact the Nice customer service department. The use of GD
in these conditions can be dangerous.
• Keep all components of GD away from heat sources and open
flames; these could damage the components and cause malfunc-
tions, fire or dangerous situations.
• Connect the gearmotor only to a power supply line equipped
with safety grounding system.
• All operations requiring the opening of the GD protection shell
must be performed with the gearmotor disconnected from the
power supply; if the disconnection device is not identifiable, post
the following sign on it: "WARNING: MAINTENANCE WORK IN
PROGRESS".
• In the event that any automatic switches or fuses are tripped,
you must identify the failure and eliminate it before you reset them.
• If a failure occurs that cannot be solved using the information
provided in this manual, refer to the Nice customer service depart-
ment.
