WORKING IN SAFETY!
• CAUTION! – Important instructions: Keep this manual in a safe
place to enable future product maintenance and disposal opera-
tions.
• CAUTION! – All installation procedures, connections, program-
ming and maintenance of the product must be performed exclu-
sively by a qualied technician!
Considering the hazards that may occur during installation and use, maxi-
mum safety is only ensured if the product is installed in strict observance of
current legislation, standards and regulations. This chapter contains gen-
eral warnings, while other important warnings are provided in chapters 3
“Installation” and 7 “Testing and commissioning”.
According to the most recent legislation, the installation of an
automatic gate or door must be in full observance of the standards
envisaged by European Directive 98/37/EC (Machinery Directive)
and in particular standards: EN 13241-1 (harmonised standard); EN
12445; EN 12453 and EN 12635, which enable declaration of con-
formity with the machinery directive.
Further information, with guidelines to risk assessments and the drafting
of the Technical Documentation can be found on the website www.nice-
foryou.com. This manual, excluding the detachable appendix “Operation
Manual” for the installer, is aimed exclusively at technical personnel quali-
edforinstallation;nootherinformationinthisdocumentationcanbecon-
sidered of interest to the user.
•Useoftheproductotherthanasdescribedinthismanualisstrictlypro-
hibited;improperusecanleadtodanger,physicalinjuryordamageto
objects.
•Beforeinstallation,anassessmentoftheassociatedrisksmustbemade,
including a list of the essential safety requirements as envisaged in Appen-
dix I of the Machinery Directive, specifying the relative solutions adopted.
Note that the risk assessment is one of the documents included in the
automation Technical documentation.
•Checkwhetherotherdevicesareneededtocompletetheautomation
onthebasisofthespecicconditionsofuseanddangerspresent;take
into account all risks of impact, crushing, shearing, dragging etc. and other
hazards in general.
•Nevermakeanymodicationstopartsifnotenvisagedintheseinstruc-
tions;operationsofthistypewillleadtomalfunctions;NICEdeclinesall
liabilityfordamagecausedbymodiedproducts.

GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS AND
PRECAUTIONS
1
RO500 is designed to automate sliding gates for residential applications.
Any other use than as specied herein or in environmental con-
ditions other than as stated in this manual is to be considered
improper and is strictly prohibited!
The gearmotor comprises a 230 V ac motor, a pinion and a control unit.
The control unit powers all devices present in the system and manages all
relative functions. It is made up of a board and incorporated multi-code
radio receiver which receives the commands sent by a transmitter. Special
functions are also available to enable personalisation of automation use.
The automation enables the installation of various accessories which
enhance functionality and guarantee optimal safety.
The product is mains-powered, and, in the event of a power failure enables
manual release of the gearmotor for manual movement of the gate.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND
INTENDED USE

3.1 - Preliminary installation checks
Beforeproceedingwithinstallation,checktheconditionoftheproduct
components, suitability of the selected model and conditions of the intend-
ed installation environment.
IMPORTANT – The gearmotor cannot be used to power a manual
gate that does not have a fully efcient and safe mechanical struc-
ture. Neither can it solve defects caused by poor installation or
insufcient maintenance of the door itself.
3.2 - Checking suitability of the environment and gate to
be automated
•Ensurethatthemechanicalstructureofthegatecomplieswithcurrent
national standards and that it is suitable for automation. (If present, refer to
theinformationspeciedonthegatedataplate).
•Ensurethattheweightanddimensionsoftheleafarewithintheapplica-
tionlimitsasspeciedinparagraph3.3“Applicationlimits”.
•Withreferencetothevaluesspeciedinchapter“Producttechnical
specications”,ensurethat:
- the force required to move the gate leaf, is less than half the value of the
forcecorrespondingtothe“MaximumTorque”;
- the force required to maintain gate movement, is less than half the value
of the force corresponding to the “Nominal Torque”. Note – To set the
force value,amarginof50%isrecommendedasadverseweathercondi-
tions could increase the degree of friction.
•Movethegateleafmanuallytoopenandclose,checkingthatmovement
has the same degree of friction throughout all points of travel (no increase
in friction must occur).
