5.1 - Testing
The sequence of steps to take to carry out testing refers to a typical system (fig. 2):
1
Release the gearmotors manually and check that when you operate the
leaf, at the point designed especially for the manual manoeuvre, the leaves
can either be opened or closed with a force of less than 390 N.
2
Check that the leaf, when left in any position along its travel, does not
move.
3
Secure the gearmotors (see chapter 3.8).
4
IMPORTANT! – Check that the screw connections are screwed in tightly.
5
Using the control devices (transmitter, command button, key selector, etc.),
perform some Gate Opening, Closing and Stop tests, making sure the
movement of the leaves corresponds with each test. It is a good idea to
carry out several tests in order to evaluate the movement of the leaves and
pinpoint any assembly or adjustment defects as well as to check for any
particular points of friction.
6
Check one by one that all the safety devices in the system work properly
(photocells, sensitive edges, etc.). When a device is activated, the "BLUE-
BUS" LED on the control unit emits two quicker flashes to confirm that
recognition has taken place.
7
If the hazardous situations caused by the movement of the leaves have
been safeguarded by limiting the force of impact, the force must be meas-
ured in accordance with the EN 12445 standard and, if necessary, if the
control of the "gearmotor force" is used as an aid to the system to reduce
the force of impact, try and then find the adjustment that achieves the best
results.
8
Affix permanently a label describing how to release the gearmotor manual-
ly in an area adjacent to the automation system.

PROGRAMMING THE CONTROL UNIT
There are three keys on the control unit. These are OPEN ( ), STOP (SET) and
CLOSE ( ) and they can be used to operate the control unit during the testing
phases as well as for programming the functions available.
The programmable functions available are arranged on 2 levels and their oper-
ating status is indicated by the 4 LEDs (L1 ... L4) on the control unit (LED on =
function activated; LED off = function deactivated).
Use the programming keys (fig. 26):
OPEN ( ): – key to control the gate opening; – selection key during the pro-
gramming phase.
STOP/SET: key to stop a manoeuvre; when pressed for more than 5 seconds,
it allows you to enter the programming phase.

01. Press and keep key "Set" pressed for approximately 3 seconds;
02. Release the key when LED "L1" begins to flash;
03. Press key " " or " " to move the flashing LED to the LED representing the function you wish to change;
04. Press the "Set" key to change the status of that function:
(brief flashing = OFF - long flashing = ON);
05. Wait 10 seconds (maximum) to exit programming mode.
Note – To program other functions to "ON" or "OFF" when the procedure is in progress, repeat steps 03 and 04 during the phase itself.
TABLE 5 - Level one functions
Description
Function ACTIVATED: after an opening manoeuvre, there is a pause (equal to the programmed pause Time) after which the control unit auto-
matically performs a closing manoeuvre. The factory set pause time is 30 sec.
Function DEACTIVATED: operation is "semi-automatic".
Function ACTIVATED: if the photocells are activated during an opening or closing manoeuvre, the pause time is reduced to 5 sec. irrespective of
the programmed "pause time".
With the "automatic close" function deactivated, if the photocells are activated during the closing manoeuvre, the "automatic close" is activated
with the programmed "pause time".
Function ACTIVATED: in the event of a power cut, albeit brief, when the electricity supply returns the control unit detects the open gate and auto-
matically starts a closing manoeuvre, after 5 sec. of pre-flashing.
Function DEACTIVATED: when the electricity supply returns, the gate will remain as is.
Function ACTIVATED: 1 minute after the manoeuvre is finished, the control unit turns off the "Bluebus" output (connected devices) and all LEDs
except for the Bluebus LED which will flash more slowly. When the control unit receives a command, it restores normal operation (with a short
delay). This function is designed to reduce consumption levels, which is a key feature when battery or photovoltaic panel powered.

5.2 - Commissioning
Commissioning can only take place once all the testing phases have been
carried out successfully.
1
Put together the automation system's technical file, which should include
the following documents: an overall diagram of the automation system, the
diagram of the electrical connections made, the current risk analysis and
the related solutions adopted, the manufacturer's declaration of conformity
for all the devices used and the declaration of conformity filled in by the in -
staller.
2
Affix a data plate onto the gate which specifies the following information, at
least: the type of automation system, the name and address of the manu-
facturer (responsible for the commissioning), the serial number, the year of
manufacture and the EC mark.
3
Fill in the declaration of conformity of the automation system and hand it
over to its owner.
4
Fill in and hand over to the owner of the automation system the "User's
guide" of the automation system.
5
Fill in and hand over to the owner of the automation system the "Mainte-
nance schedule" which contains instructions on the maintenance of all the
devices in the automation system.
6
Before commissioning the automation system, inform the owner of all the
hazards and residual risks entailed.
For all the documentation mentioned, the Nice technical support service
provides the following: instruction manuals, guides and precompiled forms.

CLOSE ( ): – key to control the gate closing; – selection key during the pro-
gramming phase.
6.1 - Level one programming (ON-OFF)
All level one functions are programmed at the factory to "OFF" and can be
changed at any time. To check the various functions please see Table 5. For
the programming procedure, please see Table 6.
Note – These procedures can be performed again at any time, even after a new
device has been connected to the control unit.
IMPORTANT – The programming procedure has a maximum time of 10 sec-
onds between one key and another being pressed. After this time, the proce-
dure ends automatically, storing the changes made up until that moment.
