from the operator. If the procedure does not continue correctly, it must be

•CheckthatthestoppingdevicesconnectedtotheSTOPinputimmediately

• Check that the level of the obstacle detection system is suitable for the appli-
cation:
- During both the opening and the closing manoeuvres, prevent the leaf from
moving by placing an obstacle and check that the manoeuvre inverts before
exceeding the force set down by law
•Otherchecksmayberequireddependingonwhichdevicesareconnectedto
the inputs.
Warning – If an obstacle is detected as moving in the same direction for
2 consecutive manoeuvres in the same direction, the control unit par-
tially inverts both motors for just 1 second. At the following command,
the leafs begin the opening manoeuvre and the rst current sensitiv-
ity cut-in for each motor is considered as a mechanical stop during
the opening cycle. The same happens when the mains power supply is
switched on: the rst command is always an opening manoeuvre and
the rst obstacle is always considered as a mechanical stop during the
opening cycle.
3.2 - Commissioning
Commissioning can only be performed after positive results of all test
phases.
1 Prepare the automation technical documentation, which must contain the
following documents: overall drawing of the automation, electrical wiring
diagram, risk assessment and relative solutions adopted (refer to the rel-
evant forms on our website www.niceforyou.com),manufacturer’sdec-
laration of conformity for all devices used and installer’s declaration of con-
formity.
2 Afxadataplateonthegate,specifyingatleastthefollowingdata:typeof
automation, name and address of manufacturer (responsible for commis-
sioning),serialnumber,yearofconstructionandCEmark.
3 Before commissioning the automation, ensure that the owner is adequately
informed of all associated risks and hazards.

5.2 - Programmable functions
Toensurethesystemisbestsuitedtotheuser’srequirements,andsafeinthe
various different conditions of use, the MC424 control unit offers the possibil-
ity to programme several functions or parameters, as well as the function of a
number of inputs and outputs.

If the function is not activated, the system will run “semi-automatically”.
• “Condominium” function: Thisfunctionisusefulwhentheautomaticsys-
tem is radio-commanded by many different people. If this function is active,
each command received triggers an opening manoeuvre that cannot be
interrupted by further commands. If the function has been deactivated, a
