2.1) Operating limits
Chapter 8 “Technical Characteristics” provides the data needed to
determine whether ROBUS350 components are suitable for the
intended application.
In general, ROBUS350 is suitable for the automation of gates with
leaves up to 15m wide and weighing max 350kg, as shown in Tables
1 and 2.
The length of the leaf makes it possible to determine both the maximum number of cycles per hour and consecutive cycles, while the
weight makes it possible to determine the reduction percentage of
the cycles and the maximum speed allowed. For example, if the leaf
is 5m long it will be possible to have 10 cycles/hour and 6 consecutive cycles. However, if the leaf weighs 240kg, they must be
reduced to 80%, resulting in 8 cycles/hour and approximately 5 consecutive cycles, while the maximum speed allowed is V5: very fast.
The control unit has a limiting device which prevents the risk of overheating based on the load of the motor and duration of the cycles.
This device triggers when the maximum limit is exceeded.

!
ROBUS350 is an electromechanical gearmotor used to automate sliding
gates for residential use. It has an electronic control unit and receiver for
radio control devices. The electrical connections to external devices have
been simplified through the use of “BlueBUS”, a technique by which several devices can be connected up using just 2 wires.
ROBUS350 operates with electric power. In the event of a power failure,
the gearmotor can be released using a special key in order to move the
gate manually. Alternatively, there is the PS124 buffer battery (optional
accessory) which makes it possible to use the gate also during the event
of a power failure.

3.2) Installation of the gearmotor
The gearmotor must be fastened directly to an already existing
mounting surface using suitable means, for example expansion
screw anchors. Otherwise, in order to fasten the gearmotor the
installer must:
1.Dig a foundation hole with suitable dimensions referring to Figure 3.
2.Prepare one or more conduits for the electrical cables as shown in
Figure 4.
3.Assemble the two clamps on the foundation plate setting one nut
underneath and one on top of the plate. The nut underneath the
plate must be screwed to the end of the thread so that the threaded part protrudes above the plate by approximately 25÷35mm.
4.Pour the concrete and, before it starts to harden, set the foundation plate to the values shown in Figure 3. Check that it is parallel
to the leaf and perfectly level. Wait for the concrete to harden completely.
5.Remove the 2 upper nuts of the plate and then place the gearmotor onto them. Check that it is perfectly parallel to the leaf, then
screw the two nuts and washers supplied, as shown in Figure 7.
3.1) Preliminary checks
Before proceeding with the installation of ROBUS350 you must:
• Check that all the materials are in excellent condition, suitable for
use and that they conform to the standards currently in force.
• Make sure that the structure of the gate is suitable for automation.
• Make sure that the weight and dimensions of the leaf fall within the
specified operating limits provided in chapter “2.1 Operating limits”.
• Check that the static friction (that is, the force required to start the
movement of the leaf) is less than half the “maximum torque”, and
that the dynamic friction (that is, the force required to keep the leaf
in movement) is less than half the “nominal torque”. Compare the
resulting values with those specified in Chapter “8 Technical Characteristics”. The manufacturers recommend a 50% margin on the
force, as unfavourable climatic conditions may cause an increase
in the friction.
• Make sure that there are no points of greater friction in the opening or closing travel of the gate leaves.
• Make sure there is no danger of the gate derailing.
• Make sure that the mechanical stops are sturdy enough, and that
there is no risk of deformation even when the leaf hits the mechanical stop violently.
• Make sure that the gate is well balanced. It must not move by itself
when it is placed in any position.
• Make sure there is no risk of flooding in the area the gearmotor is
fixed to. Mount the gearmotor raised from the ground if necessary.
• Make sure that the installation area enables the release of the
gearmotor and that it is safe and easy to release it
• Make sure that the mounting positions of the various devices are
protected from impacts and that the mounting surfaces are sufficiently sturdy.
• Never immerse components in water or other liquids.
• Keep ROBUS350 away from sources of heat and open flames and
acid, saline or potentially explosive atmospheres. Situations such
as these could damage ROBUS350 and cause either malfunctions
or dangerous situations.
• If there is an access door in the leaf, or a within the range of movement of the gate, make sure that it does not obstruct normal travel. Mount a suitable interblock system if necessary.
• Only connect the control unit to a power supply line equipped with
a safety grounding system.
• The power supply line must be protected by suitable magnetothermal and differential switches.
• A disconnection device must be inserted in the power supply line
from the electrical mains (the distance between the contacts must
be at least 3.5mm with an overvoltage category of III) or equivalent
system, for example an outlet and relative plug. If the disconnection device for the power supply is not mounted near the automation, it must have a locking system to prevent unintentional, unauthorised connection.

3.3) Installation of the Various Devices
If other devices are needed, install them following the directions provided in the corresponding instructions. Check this in paragraph “3.5
Description of electrical connections” and the devices which can be connected to the ROBUS350 in Figure 2.
in order to prevent the weight of the leaf from affecting
the gearmotor, it is important that there is a play of 1÷2mm
between the rack and the pinion as shown in Figure 10.
8. Slide the leaf, using the pinion as a reference point for the fas-
tening the other elements of the rack.
9. Cut away any excess of the rack.
10. Open and close the gate several times and make sure that the
rack is aligned with the pinion with a maximum tolerance of 5mm.
Moreover, check that the play of 1÷2mm has been respected
along the entire length between the pinion and the rack.
11.Thoroughly tighten the two fixing nuts of the gearmotor, making
sure it is well fastened to the ground. Cover the fixing nuts with
the relative caps as shown in figure 11.
12.Fix the two “Opening” and “Closing” limit switch brackets with the
relative dowels to the outer sides of the rack as shown in Figure
12. Consider that the leaf will slide for about another 2÷3cm after
the limit switch cuts in. The brackets should be positioned at a
sufficient distance from the mechanical stops.
13.Lock the gearmotor as shown in the “Release and manual movement” paragraph in the Chapter “Instructions and Warnings for
Users of the ROBUS gearmotor”
!

If the rack is already present, once the gearmotor has been fastened
use the adjustment dowels as shown in Figure 8 to set the pinion of
ROBUS350 to the right height, leaving 1÷2mm of play from the rack.
Otherwise, the installer must carry out the following procedure in
order to fasten the rack:
6.Release the gearmotor as shown in the “Release and manual
movement” paragraph in the Chapter “Instructions and Warnings
for users of the ROBUS gearmotor”
7.Open the leaf up completely and place the first piece of the rack
on the pinion. Check that the beginning of the rack corresponds
to the beginning of the leaf, as shown in Figure 9. Leave a 1÷2mm
play between the rack and the pinion, then fasten the rack to the
leaf using suitable means.
1÷2
3.4) Electrical connections
only carry out electrical connections once the electricity supply to the system has been switched off. Disconnect any buffer batteries present.
1. Remove the protection cover in order to access the electronic
control unit of the ROBUS350. The side screw must be removed,
and the cover lifted upwards.
2. Remove the rubber membrane which closes the hole for passage
of the cables and insert all the connection cables towards the various devices, leaving a length of 20÷30cm longer than necessary.
See Table 3 for information regarding the type of cables and Figure 2 for the connections.
3. Use a clamp to collect together and join the cables which enter
the gearmotor. Place the clamp just underneath the hole the
cables enter through. Make a hole in the rubber membrane which
is slightly smaller than the diameter of the cables which have been
collected together, and insert the membrane along the cables until
you reach the clamp. Then put the membrane back in the slot of
the hole the cables pass through. Lay a second clamp for collecting the cables which are set just above the membrane.
4. Connect the power cable to the appropriate terminal as shown in
Figure 13, then block the cable at the first cable block ring using
the clamp.
5. Connect up the other cables according to the diagram in Figure
15. The terminals can be removed in order to make this work easier.
6. Once the connections have been completed, block the cables
collected in the second cable block ring using clamps. The
excess of the antenna cable must be blocked to the other cables
using another clamp as shown in Figure 14.

3.5) Description of the electrical connections
Here follows a brief description of the electrical connections. Please
refer to the “7.3. Adding or Removing Devices” paragraph for further
information.
FLASH: flashing light output “LUCYB” type or similar outputs with a
single 12V lamp, max. 21W.
S.C.A.: “Open Gate Light” output. An indication lamp can be connected (24V max. 4W).
BLUEBUS: compatible devices can be connected up to this terminal. They are connected in parallel using two conductors only,
through which both the electricity supply and the communication
signals travel. Please refer to paragraph “7.3.1BlueBUS” for further
information about BlueBUS.
STOP: input for the devices which block or eventually stop the
manoeuvre in progress. Contacts like “Normally Closed”, “Normally
Open” or constant resistance devices can be connected up using
special procedures on the input. Please refer to Paragraph “7.3.2
STOP Input” for further information about STOP.
P. P.: input for devices which control movement. It is possibile to
connect “Normally Open” devices up to this input.

The manufacturers recommend you position the leaf at approximately half travel before starting the checking and start up phase of the
automation. This will ensure the leaf is free to move both during opening and closure.
4) Final checks and start up
4.1) Choosing the direction
The direction of the opening manoeuvre must be chosen depending
on the position of the gearmotor with respect to the leaf. If the leaf
must move left for opening, the selector must be moved towards left
as shown in Figure 16; alternatively, if the leaf has to move right during opening, the selector must be moved towards the right as shown
in Figure 17.

As soon as ROBUS350 is energized, you should check the following:
1.Make sure that the “BLUEBUS” LED flashes regularly, with about
one flash per second
2.Make sure that the LED’s on the photocells flash (both on TX and
RX); the type of flashing is not important as it depends on other
factors.
3.Make sure that the flashing light connected to the FLASH output
and the lamp LED connected to the “Open Gate Indicator” output
are off.
If the above conditions are not satisfied, you should immediately
switch off the power supply to the control unit and check the electrical connections more carefully. Please refer to Chapter “7.6 Troubleshooting” for further information about finding and analysing failures.
4.2) Power Supply Connection
The connection of ROBUS350 to the mains must be made by qualified and experienced personnel in possession of the necessary requi-
sites and in full respect of the laws, provisions and standards currently in force.
!
4.3) Recognition of the devices
After connecting up the power supply, the control unit must be made
to recognise the devices connected up to the BLUEBUS and STOP
inputs. Before this phase, LEDs L1 and L2 will flash to indicate that
recognition of the devices must be carried out.
The connected devices recognition stage can be repeated at any time,
even after installation, e.g. if another device is added. Please refer to
Paragraph “7.3.4 Recognition of other devices” for information about
how to carry out another recognition process.
1. Press keys [▲] and [Set] and keep them pressed down
2. Release the keys then LEDs L1 and L2 start flashing rapidly (after approx. 3 sec.)
3. Wait for a few seconds for the control unit to finish recognising the devices
4. STOP LED must remain on when the recognitions stage has been completed, while LEDs L1 and L2 will switch
off (LEDs L3 and L4 will eventually start flashing).
4.4) Recognizing the length of the leaf
After recognizing the devices, LEDs L3 and L4 will start flashing. This
means that the control unit must be made to recognize the length of
the leaf. During this stage, the length of the leaf is measured from the
closing limit switch to the opening limit switch. This measurement is
required to calculate the deceleration points and the partial opening
point.
If the above conditions are not satisfied, you should immediately
switch off the power supply to the control unit and check the electri-
cal connections more carefully. Please refer to Paragraph “7.6 Troubleshooting” for further information.
1. Press keys [▼] and [Set] and keep them pressed down.
2. Release the keys when the manoeuvre starts (after approx. 3 s)
3. Check the manoeuvre in progress is an opening manoeuvre. Otherwise, press the [Stop] key and carefully
check Paragraph “4.1 Choosing the Direction”, then repeat the process from Point 1.
4. Wait for the control unit to open the gate until it reaches the opening limit switch. The closing manouvre wil
start immediately afterwards.
5. Wait for the control unit to close the gate.
4.5) Checking gate movements
On completion of the recognition of the length of the leaf, it is advisable to carry out a number of manoeuvres in order to check the gate
travels properly.
1.Press the [Open] key to open the gate. Check that gate opening
occurs regularly, without any variations in speed. The leaf must
only slowdown and stop when it is between 70 and 50 cm from
the opening mechanical stop. Then, at 2÷3cm from the mechanical opening stop the limit switch will trigger.
2.Press the [Close] key to close the gate. Check that the gate clos-
es regularly without any variations in speed. The leaf must only
slowdown and stop when it is between 70 and 50 cm from the
closing mechanical stop. Then, at 2÷3cm from the mechanical
closing stop the limit switch will trigger.
3.During the manoeuvre, check that the flashing light flashes at a
speed of 0.5 seconds on and 0.5 seconds off. If present, also
check the flashes of the light connected to the S.C.A. terminal:
slow flashes during opening, quick flashes during closing.
4.Open and close the gate several times to make sure that there are
neither points of excessive friction nor defects in the assembly or
adjustments.
5. Check that the fastening of the ROBUS350 gearmotor, the rack
and the limit switch brackets are solid, stable and suitably
resistent, even if the gate accelerates or decelerates sharply.
4.6) Preset functions
The ROBUS350 control unit has a number of programmable functions.
These functions are set to a configuration which should satisfy most
automations. However, the functions can be altered at any time by
means of a special programming procedure. Please refer to paragraph
“7.2 Programming” for further information about this.

Table 5: commands available in Mode II
4.7) Memorization of Radio Transmitters
The “SM” radio receiver connector for SMXI or SMXIS type radio receivers has been provided in order to enable the user to control
ROBUS350 from a distance (see Figure 20). Each radio transmitter is recognised by the said receiver by means of a “code” which is different from that of any other transmitter. It is thus necessary to carry out the “memorisation” procedure by means of which the user prepares
the receiver to recognise each single transmitter. Transmitters can be memorised in 2 modes:
Mode I: in this mode the function of the transmitter keys is fixed and
each key corresponds to the command in the control unit shown in
Table 4. A single stage is carried out for each transmitter, during
which all the transmitter keys are memorised. It does not matter
which key is pressed during this stage and only one place in the
memory is used. A transmitter can normally only control a single
automation in Mode I
Mode II: in this mode, each transmitter key can be associated with
one of the 4 possible control unit commands shown in Table 5. Only
one key is memorised for each stage, namely the one which was
pressed during memorisation. One place in the memory is occupied
for each key memorised.
In Mode II, different keys on the same transmitter can be used in
order to give the same automation more than one command or to
control more than one automation. For example, in Table 6, only
automation “A” is controlled, and the T3 and T4 keys are associated
with the same command. Alternatively, three automations are controlled in the example shown in Table 7, namely “A” (keys T1 and T2),
“B” (key T3) and “C” (key T4).
Since the memorization procedures are timed (10s), you
must read the instructions in the following paragraphs before
you proceed with their execution

At this point the new radio transmitter will be recognized by the receiver and will assume the characteristics of the previously memorized
one. If there are other transmitters to be memorized, repeat all the steps above for each new transmitter.
Table 10: for the “Remote” memorization of a transmitter Example
4.7.3) “Remote” memorization
A new radio transmitter can be memorized without directly operating
the keys on the receiver. You need to have a pre-memorized operational radio transmitter. The “new” radio transmitter will inherit the
characteristics of the old one, i.e. if the old radio transmitter was
memorized in Mode 1, the new one will also be memorized in Mode
1. In this case, during the memorization stage you can press any key
on the two transmitters. If, on the other hand, the old transmitter was
memorized in Mode II, the new one will also be memorized in Mode
II: you must press the key on the old transmitter which corresponds
to the desired command, and the key on the new transmitter to
which you wish to associate that command
Remote memorisation can occur in all those receivers
which are within range of the capacity of the transmitter.
Therefore, only the one which is actually involved in the
operation must be powered.

Declaration of conformity
N°: 151/SMXI Rev03
Nice S.p.a., Via Pezza Alta 13, 31046 Rustignè di Oderzo (TV) Italy
NICE S.p.a. declares that radio receiver models SMXI, SMXIS and the relative FLO2R-S and SM2 transmitters conform to the essential requisites specified in Directive R&TTE 1999/5/CE, for the use the devices have been manufactured for.
Manufactured in Class 1, Sub-class 20.
Date 19th March 2004 Managing Director
Lauro Buoro
4.7.5) Declaration of conformity of the radio receiver
This is the most important stage in the automation system installation procedure in order to ensure the maximum safety levels. Testing
can also be adopted as a method of periodically checking that all the
various devices in the system are functioning correctly.
Testing of the entire system must be performed by
qualified and experienced personnel who must establish
which tests to conduct on the basis of the risks involved,
and verify the compliance of the system with applicable
regulations, legislation and standards, in particular with
all the provisions of EN standard 12445 which establishes
the test methods for automation systems for gates
!
5) Testing and commissioning
Holding the two transmitters, position yourself within the operating range of the automation and perform the following operations:
GB
11
5.1) Testing
Each component of the system, e.g. safety edges, photocells, emergency stop, etc. requires a specific testing phase. We therefore recommend observing the procedures shown in the relative instruction
manuals. To test ROBUS350 proceed as follows:
1. Ensure that the instructions outlined in this manual and in partic-
ular in chapter 1 "WARNINGS" have been observed in full;
2. Release the gearmotor as shown in “Release and manual move-
ment” paragraph in chapter “Instructions and Warnings for users
of the ROBUS350 gearmotor”
3. Make sure you can move the door manually both during opening
and closing with a force of max. 390N (40 kg approx.).
4. Lock the gearmotor.
5. Using the control or stop devices (key-operated selector switch,
control buttons or radio transmitter) test the opening, closing and
stopping of the gate and make sure that the leaves move in the
intended direction.
6. Check the proper operation of all the safety devices, one by one
(photocells, sensitive edges, emergency stop, etc.) and check
that the gate performs as it should. In particular, each time a
device is activated the “BlueBUS” LED on the control unit flashes
2 times quickly, confirming that the control unit recognizes the
event.
7. If the dangerous situations caused by the movement of the leaf
have been safeguarded by limiting the force of impact, the user
must measure the impact force according to EN Standard 12445.
If the adjustment of the “speed” and control of the “motor force”
are used to assist the system for the reduction of the impact
force, try to find the adjustment that gives the best results.
5.2) Commissioning
Commissioning can take place only after all the testing phases of the
ROBUS350 and the other devices have been terminated successfully. It is not permissible to execute partial commissioning or to
enable use of the system in makeshift conditions.
1. Prepare and store for at least 10 years the technical documentation for the automation, which must include at least: assembly
drawing of the automation, wiring diagram, analysis of hazards
and solutions adopted, manufacturer’s declaration of conformity
of all the devices installed (for ROBUS350 use the annexed CE
declaration of conformity); copy of the instruction manual and
maintenance schedule of the automation.
2. Post a label on the gate providing at least the following data: type
of automation, name and address of manufacturer (person
responsible for the “commissioning”), serial number, year of manufacture and “CE” marking.
3. Post a permanent label or sign near the gate detailing the operations for the release and manual manoeuvre.
4. Prepare the declaration of conformity of the automation system
and deliver it to the owner.
5. Prepare the “Installation instructions and warnings” of the
automation system and deliver it to the owner.
6. Prepare the maintenance schedule of the automation system and
deliver it to the owner; it must provide all directions regarding the
maintenance of the single automation devices.
7. Before commissioning the automation system inform the owner in
writing regarding dangers and hazards that are still existing (e.g.
in the “Installation instructions and warnings”).
This charter provides information about how to draw up a maintenance schedule, and the disposal of ROBUS350
6) Maintenance and Disposal
6.1) Maintenance
The automation must be subjected to maintenance work on a regular
basis, in order to guarantee it lasts.
The maintenance operations must be performed in strict
compliance with the safety directions provided in this manual
and according to the applicable legislation and standards.
If other devices are present, follow the directions provided in the corresponding maintenance schedule.
1. ROBUS350 requires scheduled maintenance work every 6 months
or 10,000 manoeuvres (max.) after previous maintenance:
2. Disconnect the power supply (and buffer batteries, if featured)
3. Check for any deterioration of the components which form the auto-
mation, paying particular attention to erosion or oxidation of the structural parts. Replace any parts which are below the required standard.
4. Check the wear and tear on the moving parts: pinion, rack and the
leaf components; if necessary replace them.
5. Connect the electric power sources up again, and carry out the
testing and checks provided for in Paragraph “5.1 Testing”.
!
6.2) Disposal
ROBUS is constructed of various types of materials, some of which
can be recycled: steel, aluminium, plastic, electric cables; while others must be disposed of (batteries and electronic boards).
some electronic components and the batteries may
contain polluting substances; do not pollute the environment. Enquire about the recycling or disposal systems
available in compliance regulations locally in force.
1. Disconnect the power supply of the automation system (and the
buffer battery, if featured).
2. Disassemble all the devices and accessories, following in reverse
order the procedures described in chapter 3 “Installation”.
3. Wherever possible, separate any parts which can or must be
recycled or disposed of in different ways, e.g. metal parts must
be disposed of separately from plastic ones, as must the electronic cards, batteries etc.
4. Sort the various materials and consign them to local licensed
firms for recovery and disposal.

Led Function Description
L1 Automatic Closing
This function causes the gate to close automatically after the programmed time has lapsed. The factory set
Pause Time is 30 seconds, but can be changed to 5, 15, 30, 45, 60 or 80 seconds. If the function is inactive,
functioning will be “semi-automatic”.
L2 Close After Photo This function enables the gate to be kept open for the necessary transit time only. In fact the “Photo”
always causes an automatic closure with a pause time of 5s (regardless of the programmed value).
The action changes depending on whether the “Automatic closing” function is active or not.
When “Automatic Closing” is inactive: The gate always arrives to the totally open position (even if
the Photo disengages first). Automatic closing with a pause of 5s occurs when the Photo is disengaged.
When “Automatic Closing” is active: The opening manoeuvre stops immediately after the
photocells have disengaged. After 5 seconds, the gate will begin to close automatically.
The “Close after photo” function is always disabled in manoeuvres interrupted by a Stop command.
If the “Close after photo” function is inactive the pause time is that which has been programmed or there
is no automatic closing if the function is inactive. .
L3 Always Close The “Always Close” function will trigger, and the gate will close if an open gate is detected when the
power supply returns. A light will flash for 5 seconds before the manoeuvre starts for reasons of safety. If
the function is inactive when the power supply returns, the gate will remain still.
L4 Stand-By This function enables the user to lower consumption to a very minimum. It is particularly useful in cases
when the buffer battery is being used. If this function is active, the control unit will switch the BLUEBUS
output (and consequently the devices) and all the LEDs off one minute after the end of the manoeuvre.
The only LED which will remain on is the BLUEBUS LED which will simply flash more slowly. When a
command arrives, the control unit will reset to complete functioning. If this function is inactive, there will
be no reduction in the consumption.
L5 Peak If this function is activated, the gradual acceleration at the beginning of each manoeuvre will be
disconnected. It enables the peak thrust and is useful whenever static friction is high, e.g. if snow or ice
are blocking the leaf. If the thrust is inactive, the manoeuvre will start with a gradual acceleration.
L6 Pre-flashing With the pre-flashing function, a 3 second pause is added between the flashing light switching on and
the beginning of the manoeuvre in order to warn the user, in advance, of a potentially dangerous
situation. If pre-flashing is inactive, the flashing light will switch on when the manoeuvre starts.
During the normal functioning of the ROBUS350, LEDs L1….L6 will either be on or off depending on the state of the function they
represent. For example, L1 will be on if the “Automatic Closing” function is active.
Programming, personalisation and how to look for and deal with faults on the ROBUS350 will be dealt with in this chapter.
7) Additional information
Open The “OPEN” key enables the user to control the opening of the gate or move
▲ the programming point upwards.
Stop The “STOP” key enables the user to stop the manoeuvre. If pressed down for
Set more than 5 seconds it enables the user to enter programming.
Close The “CLOSE” key enables the user to control the closing of the gate or move
▼ the programming point downwards.
7.1) Programming keys
The ROBUS350 control unit feature three keys that can be used to
command the control unit both during tests and programming.
7.2) Programming
A number of programmable functions are available on the
ROBUS350 control unit. The functions are adjusted using 3 keys set
on the control unit: [▲] [Set] [▼] and are used by means of 6 LEDs:
L1…L6
The programmable functions available on ROBUS350 are set out on
2 levels:
Level one: the functions can be adjusted in modes ON-OFF (active
or inactive). In this case, each of the LEDs L1…L6 indicates a function. If the LED is on, the function is active, if off the function is inactive. See Table 12
Level two: the parameters can be adjusted on a scale of values
(from 1 to 6). In this case, each of the LEDs L1…L6 indicates the
value set (there are 6 possible settings). Please refer to Table 14.

All the parameters can be adjusted as required without any contraindication; only the adjustment of the “motor force” could require
special care:
• Do not use high force values to compensate for points of abnor-
mal friction on the leaf. Excessive force can compromise the operation of the safety system or damage the leaf.
• If the “motor force” control is used to assist the impact force
reduction system, measure the force again after each adjustment
in compliance with EN standard 12445.
• Wear and weather conditions may affect the movement of the
gate, therefore periodic re-adjustments may be necessary.

7.3) Adding or Removing Devices
Devices can be added to or removed from the ROBUS350 automation system at any time. In particular, various devices types can be
connected to “BLUEBUS” and “STOP” input as explained in paragraphs “7.3.1 BlueBUS” and “7.3.2 STOP Input”.
7.3.1) BlueBUS
BlueBUS technology allows you to connect compatible devices
using only two wires which carry both the power supply and the
communication signals. All the devices are connected in parallel on
the 2 wires of the BlueBUS itself. It is not necessary to observe any
polarity; each device is individually recognized because a univocal
address is assigned to it during the installation. Photocells, safety
devices, control keys, signalling lights etc. can be connected to
BlueBUS The ROBUS350 control unit recognizes all the connected
devices individually through a suitable recognition process,
and can detect all the possible abnormalities with absolute precision
For this reason, each time a device connected to BlueBUS is added
or removed the control unit must go through the recognition
process; see paragraph 7.2.4 “Recognition of Other Devices”.
7.3.2) STOP Input
STOP is the input that causes the immediate interruption of the
manoeuvre (with a short reverse run). Devices with output featuring
normally open “NO” contacts and devices with normally closed “NC”
contacts, as well as devices with 8.2KΩ constant resistance output,
like sensitive edges, can be connected to this input.
During the recognition stage the control unit, like BlueBUS, recognizes the type of device connected to the STOP input (see paragraph 7.2.4 “Recognition of Other Devices”); subsequently it commands a STOP whenever a change occurs in the recognized status.
Multiple devices, even of different type, can be connected to the
STOP input if suitable arrangements are made.
• Any number of NO devices can be connected to each other in
parallel.
• Any number of NC devices can be connected to each other in
series.
• Two devices with 8.2kΩ constant resistance output can be con-
nected in parallel; if needed, multiple devices must be connected
“in cascade” with a single 8.2kΩ termination resistance.
• It is possible to combine Normally Open and Normally Closed by
making 2 contacts in parallel with the warning to place an 8.2kΩ
resistance in series with the Normally Closed contact (this also
makes it possible to combine 3 devices: Normally Open, Normally Closed and 8.2kΩ).
if the STOP input is used to connect devices with safety functions, only the devices with 8.2kΩ constant resistance output guarantee the fail-safe category 3 according
to EN standard 954-1.

the position of the photocell elements (TX-RX) must comply with the
provisions contained in the photocell instruction manual
!
7.3.3) Photocells
By means of addressing using special jumpers, the “BlueBUS” system enables the user to make the control unit recognise the photocells and assign them with a correct detection function.
The addressing operation must be done both on TX and RX (setting
the jumpers in the same way) making sure there are no other couples of photocells with the same address. In an automation for sliding gates, with ROBUS350 it is possible to install the photocells as
shown in Figure 22.
After the installation or removal of photocells, the recognition phase
in the control unit as described in Paragraph “7.3.4 Recognition of
other devices” must be carried out.
22
Table 18: Photocell addressing
Photocell Jumpers Photocell Jumpers
7.3.4) Recognition of other devices
Normally the recognition of the devices connected to the BlueBUS and the STOP input takes place during the installation stage. However, if
new devices are added or old ones removed, the recognition process can be gone through again by proceeding as follows:
1. Press keys [▲] and [Set] and hold them down
2. Release the keys when L1 and L2 LED’s start flashing very quickly (after approx. 3 s)
L1 L2
3. Wait a few seconds for the control unit to finish recognizing the devices
4. When the recognition stage is completed L1 and L2 LED’s will go off, the STOP LED must remain on,
while L2…L6 LED’s will light up according to the status of the relative ON-OFF functions L1 L2
After you have added or removed any devices, the automation system must be tested again according to the directions
contained in paragraph 5.1 “Testing”.

7.4.1) “Always open” Function
The “Always open” function is a control unit feature which enables
the user to control an opening manoeuvre when the “Step-by-Step”
command lasts longer than 2 seconds. This is useful for connecting
a timer contact to the “Step-by-Step” terminal in order to keep the
gate open for a certain length of time, for example.
This feature is valid with any kind of “Step-by-Step” input programming, except for “Close”. Please refer to the “Step-by-Step Function” parameter in Table 14.
7.4.2) “Move anyway” function
In the event that one of the safety devices is not functioning properly or is out of use, it is still possible to command and move the gate
in “Man present” mode. Please refer to the Paragraph “Control with
safety devices out of order” in the enclosure “Instructions and Warnings for users of the ROBUS gearmotor” for further information.

Check to see if the transmitter batteries are exhausted, if necessary replace them.
Check the transmitter has been memorised correctly in the radio receiver.
Check that ROBUS350 is being fed 230V voltage from the power supply. Check to see
if any fuses have blown. If necessary, identify the reason for the failure and then replace
the fuses with others having the same current rating and characteristics.
Make sure that the command is actually received. If the command reaches the STEPBY-STEP input, the corresponding “STEP-BY-STEP” LED must light up; if you are
using the radio transmitter, the “BlueBus” LED must make two quick flashes.
Count the flashes and check the corresponding value in table 21
The selected force could be too low for this type of gate. Check to see whether there
are any obstacles; if necessary increase the force
Make sure that there is voltage on the flashing light’s FLASH terminal during the manoeuvre
(being intermittent, the voltage value is not important: approximately 10-30Vac); if there is voltage, the problem is due to the lamp; in this case replace the lamp with one having the same
characteristics; if there is no voltage, there may have been an overload on the FLASH output.
Check that the cable has not short-circuited.
Check the type of function programmed for the S.C.A. output (Table 14). When the
light should be on, check there is voltage on the S.C.A. terminal (approximately
24Vdc). If there is voltage, then the problem will have been caused by the light, which
will have to be replaced with one with the same characteristics. If there is no voltage,
there may have been an overload on the S.C.A. output. Check that the cable has not
short-circuited.
7.5) Connection to other devices
If the user needs to feed external devices such as a proximity reader for transponder cards or the illumination light of the key-operated
selector switch, it is possible to tap power as shown in Figure 23.

Congratulations for having chosen a Nice product
for your automation system! Nice S.p.A. produces
components for the automation of gates, doors, rolling
gates, roller shutters and awnings: gearmotors, control
units, radio controls, flashing lights, photocells and
miscellaneous accessories. Nice uses only the finest
materials and first-class workmanship. It focuses on
the development of innovative solutions designed to
simplify the use of its equipment, dedicating meticulous care to the study of its technical, aesthetic and
ergonomic characteristics: From the wide range of
Nice products, your installation technician will certainly have selected the one best suited to your specific
requirements. However, Nice is not the producer of
your automation system, which is rather the result of a
combination of operations carried out by your installation technician, namely analysis, evaluation, selection
of materials and system implementation. Each
automation system is unique. Your installation technician is the only person who possesses the experience
and professionalism needed to set up a system capable of satisfying your requirements, a system that is
safe, reliable, long lasting and built in accordance with
the regulations in force. An automation system is not
only very convenient; it also improves the level of security in your home. Moreover, it will last for years with
very little maintenance. Even though the automation
system you possess meets the safety requirements of
the legislation in force, this does not exclude the existence of a “residual risk”, i.e. the possibility that dangers may arise, usually as a result of improper or
unreasonable use. We have prepared the following list
of do’s and don’ts to help you avoid any mishaps:
•Before using your automation system for the
first time, ask the installer to explain the origin of any
residual risks; take a few minutes and read the
users instructions manual given you by the
installer. Retain the manual for future use and deliv-
er it to any subsequent owner of the automation system.
•Your automation system is a machine that will
faithfully execute your commands; unreasonable or improper use may generate dangers: do not
operate the system if there are people, animals or
objects within its range of operation.
•Children: automation systems are designed to guar-
antee high levels of safety and security. They are
equipped with detection devices that prevent movement if people or objects are in the way, guaranteeing
safe and reliable activation. However, children should
not be allowed to play in the vicinity of automated
systems; to prevent any accidental activations, keep
all remote controls away from children: they are not
toys!
•Malfunctions: If you notice that your automation is
not functioning properly, disconnect the power supply
to the system and operate the manual release device.
Do not attempt to make any repairs; call the installation technician and, in the meantime, operate the system like a non-automatic gate after releasing the
gearmotor as described below.
•Maintenance: Like any machine, your automation
needs regular periodic maintenance to ensure its long
life and total safety. Arrange a periodic maintenance
schedule with your installation technician. Nice recommends that maintenance checks be carried out
every six months for normal domestic use, but this
interval may vary depending on the intensity of use.
Only qualified personnel are authorized to carry out
checks, maintenance operations and repairs.
•Do not modify the system or its programming and
adjustment parameters in any way, even if you feel
capable of doing it: your installation technician is
responsible for the system.
•The final test, the periodic maintenance operations
and any repairs must be documented by the person
who has performed them; these documents must
remain under the custody of the owner of the system.
The only recommended maintenance operations that
the user can perform periodically concern the cleaning
of the photocell glasses and the removal of leaves and
debris that may impede the automation. To prevent
anyone from activating the gate release the automation
system (as described below). Use a slightly damp cloth
to clean.
•Disposal: At the end of its useful life, the automation
must be dismantled by qualified personnel, and the
materials must be recycled or disposed of in compliance with the legislation locally in force.
•In the event of malfunctions or power fail-
ures. While you are waiting for the technician to
come (or for the power to be restored if your system
is not equipped with buffer batteries), you can operate the system like any non-automatic gate. In order
to do this you need to manually release the gearmotor (this operation is the only one that the user of the
automation is authorized to perform): This operation
has been carefully designed by Nice to make it
extremely easy, without any need for tools or physical
exertion.
Instructions and Warnings for users of ROBUS gearmotor
Manual movement and release: before carrying out this operation please note that release can only occur when
the leaf is stopped.
To lock: carry out the same procedures backwards.
Control with safety devices out of order: If the
safety devices are malfunctioning, it is still possible to
control the gate.
• Operate the gate control device (remote control or
key-operated selector switch etc.). If the safety
devices enable the operation, the gate will open and
close normally, otherwise the flashing light flashes a
few times but the manoeuvre does not start (the
number of flashes depends on the reason why the
manoeuvre is not enabled).
• In this case, actuate the control again within 3 seconds and keep it actuated.
• After approximately 2s the gate will start moving in
the “man present” mode, i.e. so long as the control
is maintained the gate will keep moving; as soon as
the control is released the gate will stop.
If the safety devices are out of order the
automation must be repaired as soon as possible.
Replacing the Remote Control Battery: if your
radio control, after a period of time, seems not to work
as well, or not to work at all, it may simply be that the
battery is exhausted (depending on the type of use, it
may last from several months up to one year and
more). In this case you will see that the light confirming
the transmission is weak, or does not come on, or
comes on only briefly. Before calling the installation
technician try exchanging the battery with one from
another operating transmitter: if the problem is caused
by a low battery, just replace it with another of the
same type.
The batteries contain polluting substances: do not dispose of them together with other waste but use the
methods established by local regulations.
Are you satisfied? If you wish to install another
automation system in your home, call your old installation technician and use Nice products. You will get the
services of a specialist and the most advanced products available on the market, superior performances
and maximum system compatibility.
Thank you for reading these instructions. We feel confident that you will be well satisfied with your new system: for any present or future requirements, please
contact your reliable installation technician.
