KNOWLEDGE OF THE PRODUCT AND PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
NOTE TO MANUAL
• This manual describes how to implement a complete and opti-
mal automation, like that shown in fig. 1, using all the Mhouse
devices which form part of the automation system known as
"WS200W". Some of these devices are optional and may not be
present in this kit. Some devices and accessories mentioned in
this manual are optional and may not be present in the kit. For
a complete overview, see the Mhouse product catalogue or visit
www.niceforyou.com.
• This manual is designed as a step-by-step guide. Therefore, for
the safety and ease of assembly and programming work, we
advice you to carry out all the operations described in the same
order in which they are presented.
––– STEP 2 –––
2.1 - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
The devices in this kit, plus other accessories (some optional and some
not included), together form the automation system called "WS200W",
designed for automation of a hinged gate for "residential" use. All uses
other than the intended use described and use in environmental
conditions other than those described in this manual should be
considered improper and forbidden!
The main automation component is made up of two electromechanical
gearmotors with articulated arms, to be affixed to the side pillars of the
gate to be automated. A command control unit is integrated inside one
of the two gearmotors, which manages operation of the automation as a
whole. The command control unit is made up of an electronic board and
an integrated radio receiver, to receive commands sent by the user via
the transmitter. It can store up to 256 GTX4 transmitters, and up to 20
wireless devices.
The innovative Mhouse Power&Free System allows the control unit to
direct the PH100W photocells and the FL100W flashing indicator, without
wired connections. However it is possible to connect other devices, using
a single cable with two electrical conductors, on the inputs assigned to
opening (Open) and stopping (Stop). Furthermore, the control unit can
be powered by a fixed electrical network (230 V) or, alternatively, by the
Mhouse PF solar power system.
If powered from the grid, the control unit can host a buffer battery (mod.
PR3, optional accessory) which ensures that the automation can execute
certain manoeuvres, during the hours following a loss of power (electrical
black-out). It is however always possible to move the gate manually, by
first releasing the gearmotor using the appropriate key (see chapter 11.3
- Usage guide).
2.2 - DEVICES REQUIRED TO CREATE A FULL SYSTEM
The fig. 1 shows all the devices required to create a full system, such as
that shown in fig. 5. The devices are:
A - 1 WS100WCK motor and 1 WS100SK motor, complete with mount-
ing brackets
B - 3 release keys
C - 1 pair of PH100W photocells (made up of a TX and an RX)
D - 2 GTX4 radio transmitters
E - 1 FL100W flashing indicator
F - Brackets
for fixing and curved anti-shear arms: the screws needed
to fasten the slotted arms are not provided, because they vary
according to the material and thickness of the doors.
G -
Metal hardware
Note - Some devices and accessories mentioned in this manual are
optional and may not be present in the kit. For a complete overview, see

3.1 - CHECK SUITABILITY OF GATE TO BE AUTOMATED
AND OF THE ENVIRONMENT
• Ensure that the mechanical structure of the gate is suitable for auto-
mation and complies with local standards. To verify this, refer to the
technical data on the label of the gate. Important - This product cannot
automate a gate that is not already secure and efficient; moreover, it
cannot resolve defects caused by improper installation of the gate or
from its poor maintenance.
• Manually move the gate leaf in both directions (open/closed) and make
sure that the movement takes place with a constant friction at every
point in its course (there should be no points that require more effort nor
less).
• If there is an access door in the gate, or within the range of movement
of the gate, make sure that it does not obstruct normal travel and, if
necessary, provide an appropriate interlock system.
• Make sure that the gate is not on a slope, i.e. that the leaf does not
move by itself when it is manually moved to any position.
• Ensure that the environment in which the gearmotor is to be installed
has sufficient space to be able to perform the manual manoeuvre of
releasing the gearmotor.
• Make sure that the surfaces selected for the installation of the devic-
es, are strong and can ensure a stable attachment; for the photocells,
choose a flat surface that can ensure a correct alignment of the pair (Tx
and Rx).
• Ensure that all devices to be installed are in a sheltered location and
protected against the risk of accidental impact.
• Ensure that the area surrounding the automation does not contain
devices which product persistent radio interference. These can disturb
and distort system functionality.
3.2 - PRODUCT APPLICATION LIMITS
Before proceeding with installation perform the following checks in the
suggested order and check their compliance with both the data in this
paragraph and the technical data in the chapter "Product technical speci-
fications":
1 - Check that the gate leaf has dimensions and weight which fall within
the following limits:
- maximum length 2.2 m
- maximum weight 150 kg
- opening angle 110°
2 - Check that the maximum and minimum temperatures of the instal-
lation environments are within the temperature limits specified for
operating this product. Refer to the technical data contained in the
chapter "Product technical specifications".
3 - Check that the estimated maximum number of daily cycles (para-
graph 3.2.1) is compatible with the intended use.
4 - Check that the estimated durability is compatible with the intended
use (see paragraph 3.3).
5 - Make sure you can comply with all the limitations, conditions and
warnings in this manual.
