RUN is a range of irreversible electromechanical gearmotors used for
the automation of sliding gates. They are equipped with an electron­ic control unit and an “SM” type connector for radio control receivers
(optional ). Electrical connections to external devices are facilitated
thanks to the use of the “BlueBUS” system, which enables the con­nection of several devices by means of just 2 wires. The list of
devices compatible for connection to the Run BlueBUS is given in
chapter 7.3.1 "BlueBUS"; an updated list, with relative compatibility

is also available at: www.niceforyou.com. RUN is equipped with a
connector for remote programming units to enable complete and
quick management of installation, maintenance, troubleshooting of
any malfunctions; refer also to 7.8.1 "Remote programming unit".
RUN is electrically powered, in the event of a power failure, the
device can be released by means of the special key, to enable man­ual movement of the gate.

Other products are also part of the RUN range, the difference of which is described in table 1.

Note: 1Kg = 9,81N for example: 1390N = 142 Kg

2.1) Operating limits

Chapter 8 “Technical Characteristics” provides the only data needed
to determine whether the products of the RUN line are suitable for
the intended application. The structural characteristics of RUN make
it suitable for use on sliding leaves in conformity with the limits spec­ified in tables 2, 3 and 4.

The effective suitability of RUN to automate a sliding gate depends
on friction and other factors, even occasional, such as the presence
of ice which could obstruct leaf movement. To ensure suitability, it is
absolutely vital to measure the force necessary to move the leaf
throughout its entire run and ensure that this is less than half of the
“nominal torque” indicated in chapter 8 “Technical characteristics” (a
50% margin on the force is recommended, as unfavourable climatic
conditions may cause an increase in the friction); furthermore, the

data specified in tables 2 and 3 should be taken into account to
establish the number of cycles/hour and consecutive cycles.

The length of the leaf enables the calculation of both the maximum number of cycles per hour and consecutive cycles, while the weight
enables the calculation of the percentage of cycle reduction and the maximum speed allowed. For example, for RUN1800 if the leaf is 10 m
long it will be possible to have 21 cycles/hour and 14 consecutive cycles. However, if the leaf weighs 1300 Kg, they must be reduced by 60
%, resulting in 9 cycles/hour and 8 consecutive cycles. 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. The manoeuvre limiting device
also measures the ambient temperature reducing the number of manoeuvres further when the temperature is particularly high.

The “durability” estimate is shown in chapter 8 “Technical characteristics”, which is the average useful life of the product. The value is strong­ly influenced by the severity index of the manoeuvre, this being the sum of all factors that contribute to wear. To make this estimate, all sever­ity indexes in table 4 must be added together, and the result should be used to check estimated durability in the graph.
For example: for RUN1800 on a gate weighing 1300 Kg and 10 m in length, equipped with photocells and other stress related elements
obtains a severity index equal to 45% (20+15+10). From the graph the estimated durability is equal to 200.000 cycles.
Note that the estimated durability is calculated on the basis of design specifications and the results of tests performed on prototypes; as this
is an estimate only, it does not represent any form of guarantee on the effective durability of the product.

3.2) Installation of the gearmotor

The gearmotor must be secured directly to an already existing
mounting surface using suitable means, for example expansion
bolts. 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 4 clamps on the foundation plate setting one nut
underneath and one on top of the plate. The nut underneath the
plate must be tightened as shown in Figure 5 so that the thread­ed part protrudes above the plate by max. 40 mm.

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 (Figure 6). Wait for the concrete
to harden completely.

5. Remove the 4 upper nuts on the plate and then position the gear­motor. Check that it is perfectly parallel to the leaf, then refit and
tighten the four nuts and washers supplied, as shown in Figure 7.

The installation of RUN must be carried out by qualified personnel in compliance with current legislation, standards and

regulations, and the directions provided in this manual.

!

3) Installation

3.1) Preliminary checks

Before proceeding with the installation of RUN:

• Check that all the materials are in excellent condition, suitable for
use and compliant with current standards.

• Ensure that the structure of the gate is suitable for automation.

• Ensure that the weight and dimensions of the leaf fall within the
specified operating limits provided in chapter “2.1 Operating limits”.

• Check that the force required to start the movement of the leaf is
less than half the “maximum torque”, and that 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.

• Ensure that there are no points of greater friction in the opening or
closing travel of the gate leaves.

• Ensure there is no danger of the gate derailing.

• Ensure that the mechanical stops are sufficiently sturdy and that
there is no risk of deformation even when the leaf hits the mechan­ical stop violently.

• Ensure that the gate is well balanced: it must not move by itself
when it is placed in any position.

• Ensure that the area where the gearmotor is fixed is not subject to
flooding. If necessary, mount the gearmotor raised from the
ground.

• Ensure that the installation area enables the release of the gear­motor and that it is safe and easy to release it.

• Ensure that the mounting positions of the various devices are pro­tected from impact and that the mounting surfaces are sufficiently
sturdy.

• Components must never be immersed in water or other liquids.

• Keep RUN away from heat sources and open flames; in acid,
saline or potentially explosive atmosphere; this could damage RUN
and cause malfunctions or hazardous situations.

• If there is an access door in the leaf, or within the range of move­ment of the gate, make sure that it does not obstruct normal trav­el. Mount a suitable interlock 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 3.5 mm 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) Fixing of the limit switch bracket on versions with inductive limit switch

8.

Slide the leaf, using the pinion as a reference point for the securing
the other elements of the rack.

9.

Cut away the excess section 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 5 mm. More­over, check that the play of 1÷2 mm 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 secured to the ground. Cover the fixing nuts with the
relative caps as shown in figure 10.

12.

Fix the limit switch bracket as described below (for versions
RUN1800P and RUN2500P, fix the bracket as described in para-

graph “3.3 Fixing of the limit switch bracket on versions with induc­tive limit switch”):

• Manually place the leaf in the open position leaving at least 2-3
cm from the mechanical stop.

• Slide the bracket along the rack in the opening direction until the
limit switch cuts-in. Then bring the bracket forward by at least 2
cm and secure it to the rack with the appropriate stud bolts, as
shown in fig. 11.

• Perform the same operation for the closure limit switch.

13.

Secure the gearmotor as described in the paragraph “Release and
manual movement” in the Chapter “Instructions and Warnings for
Users”.

10 11

6. Release the gearmotor as shown in “Release and manual move-

ment” paragraph in the Chapter “Instructions and Warnings for
users of the RUN 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 8. Leave 1÷2 mm
play between the rack and the pinion, then fasten the rack to the
leaf using suitable means.

In order to prevent the weight of the leaf from affecting
the gearmotor, it is important that there is a play of 1÷2
mm between the rack and the pinion as shown in Figure 9.

!

1÷2mm

The limit switch bracket must be fixed as described below for the
RB600P and RB1000P versions that utilise the inductive limit switch.

1. Manually place the leaf in the open position leaving at least 2-3
cm from the mechanical stop.

2. Slide the bracket along the rack in the opening direction until the
corresponding LED switches off, as in fig. 12. Then bring the
bracket forward by at least 2 cm and secure it to the rack with the
appropriate stud bolts.

3. Manually place the leaf in the closed position leaving at least 2-3
cm from the mechanical stop.

4. Slide the bracket along the rack in the closing direction until the
corresponding LED switches off. Then bring the bracket forward
by at least 2 cm and secure it to the rack with the appropriate
stud bolts.

Warning: the ideal distance of the bracket for inductive

limit switches is between 3 and 8 mm as indicated in fig. 13.

3.5) Electrical connections

Only carry out electrical connections once the electric-

ity supply to the system has been switched off.

1. Remove the protection cover in order to access the electronic

control unit of the RUN. The side screw must be removed, and
the cover lifted upwards.

2. Remove the rubber membrane sealing off the two holes for routing

the cables; insert the power cable in the smaller hole and all other
cables for the various devices in the larger hole, leaving a length of
20÷30 cm longer than necessary. See Table 5 for information
regarding the type of cables and Figure 2 for the connections.

3. Use a clamp to collect together and join the cables routed through

the larger hole and place the clamp under the cable entry hole.
Make a hole in the rubber membrane which is slightly smaller than

the diameter of the cables joined by the clamp, and slide the
membrane along the cables until it reaches the clamp. Then put
the membrane back in its seat. Place a second clamp for collect­ing the cables which are set just above the membrane.

4. On the smaller membrane, cut a hole slightly smaller than the
diameter of the power cable and slide the membrane along the
cable until it fits into its seat.

5. Connect the power cable to the relative terminal as shown in fig­ure 14, and secure the cable by means of the collar.

6. Connect up the other cables according to the diagram in Figure 16.
The terminals can be removed in order to facilitate this procedure.

7. Once the connections have been completed, secure the cables
joined in the clamps to the cable locking rings. The excess aerial
cable must be secured to the other cables using another clamp as
shown in Figure 15.

3.6) Description of the electrical connections

The following is a brief description of the electrical connections; for
further information please read “7.3 Adding or Removing Devices”
paragraph.
FLASH: output for one or two “LUCYB” or similar type flashing lights
with single 12V maximum 21W bulb.
S.C.A.: “Open Gate Indicator” output. An indicator lamp can be
connected (24V max. 4W). It can also be programmed for other
functions; see paragraph “7.2.3 Level two functions”
BLUEBUS: compatible devices can be connected up to this termi­nal. They are connected in parallel using two wires only, through
which both the electricity supply and the communication signals
travel. For more useful information about BlueBUS see also Para­graph “7.3.1 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. For more useful information about
STOP see also Paragraph “7.3.2 STOP Input”.
STEP-BY-STEP: input for devices which control Step-by-Step
movement. It is possible to connect “Normally Open” devices up to
this input.
OPEN: input for devices which control only the opening movement.
It is possible to connect “Normally Open” devices up to this input.
CLOSE: input for devices which control only the closing movement.
It is possible to connect “Normally Open” devices up to this input.
AERIAL: connection input for the radio receiver aerial (the aerial is
incorporated in LUCY B).

The manufacturers recommend positioning the leaf at approximately mid-stroke 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 according
to the position of the gearmotor with respect to the leaf. If the leaf
must move to the left for opening, the selector must be moved
towards left as shown in Figure 17; alternatively, if the leaf has to
move to the right during opening, the selector must be moved
towards the right as shown in Figure 18.

4.2) Power supply connection

The connection of RUN to the mains must be made by
qualified and experienced personnel in possession of the
necessary requisites and in full observance of current
laws, provisions and standards.

As soon as RUN is powered up, check the following:

1. Ensure that the “BLUEBUS” LED flashes regularly, with about one

flash per second.

2. Ensure 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. Ensure 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, 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 fault-finding and analysis.

!

4.3) Device self-learning

After connecting up the power supply, the control unit must “learn” the devices connected up to the BLUEBUS and STOP inputs. Before this
phase, LEDs L1 and L2 will flash to indicate that device self-learning must be carried out.

The connected devices self-learning stage can be repeated at any time, even after the installation (for example, if a new device is installed);
to repeat self-learning see paragraph “7.3.6 Self-learning Other Devices”.

1. Press and hold keys [▲] and [Set]

2. Release the keys when leds L1 and L2 start flashing very quickly (after approx. 3 s)

3. Wait a few seconds for the control unit to finish self-learning the devices

4. When the self-learning stage is complete, the STOP LED must remain on while L1 and L2 must turn

off (leds L3 and L4 will eventually start flashing).

4.4) Leaf length self-learning

After self-learning the devices, leds L3 and L4 start flashing; the control unit must self-learn the length of the gate. 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, immediately switch off the power supply to the control unit and check the electrical connections
more carefully. For more useful information see also chapter “7.6 Troubleshooting”.

For further information, consult the radio receiver instruction manual.

1. Press and hold keys [▼] and [Set]

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 manoeuvre will
start immediately afterwards.

5. Wait for the control unit to close the gate.

4.5) Checking gate movements

On completion of self-learning of the length of the leaf, a number of
manoeuvres should be carried out to ensure correct gate travel

1. Press the [Open] key to open the gate. Check that gate opening

occurs regularly, without any variations in speed. The leaf must
only slow down and stop when it is between 70 and 50 cm from
the opening mechanical stop. Then, at 2÷3 cm from the mechan­ical opening stop the limit switch will trigger.

2. Press the [Close] key to close the gate. Check that gate closing

occurs regularly, without any variations in speed. The leaf must
only slow down and stop when it is between 70 and 50 cm from
the closing mechanical stop. Then, at 2÷3 cm 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 open gate indica­tor terminal: slow flashes during opening, quick flashes during
closing.

4. Open and close the gate several times to make sure that there are
no points of excessive friction and that there are no defects in the
assembly or adjustments.

5. Check that the fixture of the RUN gearmotor, the rack and the lim­it switch brackets are solid, stable and suitably resistant, even if
the gate accelerates or decelerates sharply.

4.6) Preset functions

The RUN 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 modified at any time by
means of a special programming procedure.

Please refer to paragraph “7.2 Programming” for further information.

20

4.7) Radio receiver

An “SM” connector for SMXI or SMXIS type optional radio receivers is fitted on the control unit to enable remote control of RUN.
Disconnect the power supply and follow the operations indicated in fig. 21 to install the radio receiver. The association between the SMXI
and SMXIS radio receiver output and the command performed by RUN is described in table 6:

21

Output N°1 STEP-BY-STEP command
Output N°2 “Partial opening” command
Output N°3 “Open” command
Output N°4 “Close” command

Table 6: commands with transmitter

This is the most important stage in the automation system installa­tion procedure in order to ensure 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

12

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 RUN, proceed as follows:

1. Ensure that the instructions outlined in this manual and in partic­ular in chapter 1 "WARNINGS" have been observed in full;

2. Release the gearmotor as shown in “Release and manual move­ment” paragraph in chapter “Instructions and Warnings for users
of the RUN 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. Ensure correct operation of all 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 hazardous situations caused by the movement of the leaf
have been safeguarded by limiting the force of impact, the impact
force must be measured according to EN Standard 12445. If the
adjustment of the “obstacle detection sensitivity” and control of
the “motor torque” are used to assist the system for the reduction
of the impact force, try to find the adjustment to obtain optimal
results.

5.2) Commissioning

Commissioning can take place only after all the testing phases of the
RUN and the other devices have been completed 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 the following:
assembly drawing of the automation, wiring diagram, analysis of
hazards and solutions adopted, manufacturer's declaration of
conformity of all the devices installed (for RUN use the annexed
CE declaration of conformity); copy of the instruction manual and
maintenance schedule of the automation.

2. Affix a dataplate 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 “Instructions and warnings for the use 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; this must provide all directions regarding
the maintenance of the single automation devices.

7. Before commissioning the automation system inform the owner in
writing regarding residual risks and hazards (e.g. in the “Instruc­tions and warnings for the use of the automation system”).

This charter provides information about how to draw up a maintenance schedule, and the disposal of RUN.

6) Maintenance and Disposal

6.1) Maintenance

The automation must undergo maintenance work on a regular basis,
in order to guarantee prolonged lifetime; to this end RUN has a
manoeuvre counter and maintenance warning system; see para­graph “7.4.4 Maintenance warning”.

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. RUN requires scheduled maintenance work every 6 months or
20,000 manoeuvres (max.) after previous maintenance.

2. Disconnect all power supplies.

3. Check for any deterioration of the components which form the

automation, 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.

5. Connect the electric power sources up again, and carry out the
testing and checks stated in Paragraph “5.1 Testing”.

7.1) Programming keys

The RUN control unit feature three keys that can be used to command the control unit
both during tests and programming:

23

7.2) Programming

A number of programmable functions are available on the RUN con­trol unit. The functions are adjusted using 3 keys set on the control
unit: [▲] [Set] [▼] and are used by means of 8 LEDs: L1….L8.
The programmable functions available on RUN 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….L8 indicates a func­tion. If the LED is on, the function is active, if off the function is inac­tive. See Table 7.
Level two: the parameters can be adjusted on a scale of values
(from 1 to 8). In this case, each of the LEDs L1…L8 indicates the
value set (there are 8 possible settings). Please refer to Table 9.

Led Function Description
L1 Automatic Closing This function causes the door 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, 80, 120 or 180 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 is activated, causing closure when an open gate is detected on return of power.

A light will flash for 5 seconds before the manoeuvre starts, for safety purposes.
If the function is inactive when the power supply returns, the gate will remain stationary.

L4 Deceleration On activation of this function, a deceleration phase is activated at the end of the opening or closing

manoeuvre.
Deceleration speed corresponds to approx. 60% of the nominal speed.
Caution: during deceleration the motor develops only half of the nominal torque; the deceleration phase
is not possible on heavyweight gates or those requiring maximum torque.
If deceleration is not active the speed remains constant throughout the manoeuvre.

L5 Peak On activation of this function, gradual acceleration at the start of each manoeuvre is disabled; this enables the

maximum peak force and is useful in situations with high levels of static friction, such as in the event of snow
or ice blocking the leaf.
If Peak is not active the manoeuvre starts with a gradual acceleration phase.

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 pre­flashing is inactive, the flashing light will switch on when the manoeuvre starts.

L7 “Close” becomes By activating this function all “close” commands (“CLOSE” input or radio command “close”) activate a

“Partial Open” partial opening manoeuvre (see LED L6 on table 9).

L8 “Slave” mode By activating this function RUN becomes “Slave”: in this way it is possible to synchronise the functioning

of two motors on opposite leaves where one motor functions as Master and the other as Slave; for further

information see paragraph “7.3.5 RUN in “Slave” mode”.
During the normal functioning of the RUN, LEDs L1…L8 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.

All parameters can be adjusted as required without any contraindications, only the “Obstacle detection sensitivity” and “Motor force control”
may require special attention:

• Use of high force values are not recommended to compensate for the fact that the leaf has anomalous points of friction; excessive force

may impair the safety system and damage the leaf.

• If the “Obstacle detection sensitivity” is used in support of the system for impact force reduction, after each adjustment the force mea-

surement procedure must be performed, as envisaged by standard EN 12445.

• Wear and atmospheric conditions that influence movement of the gate; force settings should be checked periodically.

7.3) Adding or removing devices

Devices can be added to or removed from the RUN automation sys­tem at any time. In particular, various devices types can be connect­ed to “BlueBUS” and “STOP” input as explained in the following
paragraphs.

After adding or removing any devices, the automation sys­tem must go through the self-learning process again
according to the directions contained in paragraph 7.3.6
“Device self-learning”.

7.3.1) BlueBUS

BlueBUS technology enables the connection of 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 installation. Photocells, safety
devices, control keys, signalling lights etc. can be connected to
BlueBUS.

The RUN control unit recognizes all the connected devices individu­ally through a suitable self-learning 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 self-learning process; see paragraph

7.3.6 “Self-learning Other Devices”.

7.2.5) Level one programming example (ON-OFF functions).

The sequence to follow in order to change the factory settings of the functions for activating “Automatic Closing” (L1) and “Always close” (L3)

LED L3 will now flash with long flashes. L3

6. Wait 10 seconds before leaving the programme to allow the maximum time to lapse.

Once these operations have been completed, LEDs L1 and L3 must remain on to indicate that the “Automatic Closing” and the “Always
Close” functions are active.

GB

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,
such as sensitive edges, can be connected to this input.
During the self-learning stage the control unit, as in the case of Blue­BUS, recognizes the type of device connected to the STOP input
(see paragraph 7.3.6 “Self-learning 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 con­nected in parallel; if necessary, 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.

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 procedure must be performed both on TX and RX (set­ting the jumpers in the same way) making sure there are no other
pairs of photocells with the same address.
In an automation for sliding gates, RUN enables installation of the
photocells as shown in Figure 24.
Each time a photocell is added or removed the control unit must go
through the self-learning process; see paragraph 7.3.6 “Self-learning
Other Devices”.

7.3.4) FT210B Photo-sensor

The FT210B photo-sensor combines a force limiting device (type C
in accordance with the standard EN1245) and a presence detector
which detects the presence of obstacles on an optical axis between
the TX transmitter and the RX receiver (type D in accordance with the
standard EN12453). The sensitive edge status signals on the FT210
photo-sensor are transmitted by means of the photocell beam, inte­grating the two systems in a single device. The transmitting part is
positioned on the mobile leaf and is powered by a battery thereby eli­minating unsightly connection systems; the consumption of the bat­tery is reduced by special circuits guaranteeing a duration of up to
15 years (see the estimation details in the product instructions).
By combining a FT210B device with a sensitive edge (TCB65 for
example) the level of security of the “primary edge”, required by the
EN12453 standard for all “types of use” and “types of activation”,
can be attained.

The FT210B is safe against individual faults when combined to a
“resistive” type (8,2Kohm) sensitive edge. It features a special anti­collision circuit that prevents interference with other detectors, even
if not synchronised, and allows additional photocells to be fitted; for
example, in cases where there is a passage of heavy vehicles and a
second photocell is normally placed at 1 m from the ground.
See the FT210B instruction manual for further information concer­ning connection and addressing methods.

7.3.5) RUN in “Slave” mode

When correctly programmed and connected, RUN can function in
“Slave” mode; this type of function is used when 2 opposite gates
need to be automated with the synchronised movement of the two
leaves. In this mode RUN works as Master commanding the move­ment, while the second RUN acts as Slave, following the commands
transmitted by the Master (all RUN are Masters when leaving the fac­tory).
To configure RUN as a Slave level one “Slave mode” must be acti­vated (see table 7).

The connection between RUN Master and RUN Slave is made via
BlueBus.

In this case the polarity of the connections between the
two RUN must be observed as illustrated in fig. 26 (the
other devices remain with no polarity).

Follow the operations below to install 2 RUN in the Master and Slave
mode:

• Install the 2 motors as indicated in fig. 25. It is not important which

motor is to function as Slave or Master; when choosing, one must
consider the convenience of the connections and the fact that the
Step-by-Step command of the Slave only allows the Slave leaf to
be opened fully.

• Connect the 2 motors as shown in fig. 26.

• Select the opening direction of the 2 motors as shown in fig. 25
(see also paragraph “4.1 Choosing the direction”).

• Supply power to the 2 motors.

• Program the “Slave mode” on the RUN Slave (see table 7).

• Perform the device self-learning on the RUN Slave (see paragraph
“4.3 Self-learning devices”).

• Perform the device self-learning on the RUN Master (see para­graph “4.3 Self-learning devices”).

• Perform the self-learning of the leaf length on the RUN Master (see
paragraph “4.4 Leaf length self-learning”).

When connecting 2 RUN in the Master-Slave mode, strictly observe the following:

• All devices must be connected to the RUN Master (as in fig. 26) including the radio receiver.

• All programming performed on RUN Slave is ignored (that on RUN Master overrides the others) except for those mentioned in table 14.

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. For example, 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. This feature is valid with any
kind of “Step-by-Step” input programming, except for “Apartment
block 2”. Refer to the “Step-by-Step Function” parameter in Table 9.

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 “Dead man” mode.

Please refer to the Paragraph “Control with safety devices out of
order” in the enclosure “Instructions and Warnings for users of the
RUN gearmotor” for further information.

7.4.3) Heating and cooling control system

RUN is equipped with a sophisticated system for the control of the
motor temperature. The internal value of RUN is read by a special
sensor and used for the management of the conditioning system, to
enable heating of the motor when external temperatures fall below a

threshold of around 0°C (if the “heating” function is enabled via the
remote programming unit “OperaView”); or enable accelerated cool­ing of the motor when temperatures exceed a value of around 40°C.

7.4.4) Maintenance warning

With RUN the user is notified when the automation requires a mainte­nance inspection. The number of manoeuvres after the warning can
be selected from 8 levels, by means of the “Maintenance warning”
adjustable parameter (see table 9). Adjustment level 1 is “automatic”
and takes into consideration the severity of the manoeuvre, this being
the force and duration of the manoeuvre, while the other adjustments
are established according to the number of manoeuvres.

The maintenance request warning is by means of the Flashing light
or on the Open Gate indicator output when this is programmed as a
“Maintenance Indicator” (see table 9).
The flashing light “Flash” and the maintenance light give the signals
indicated in table 16, based on the number of manoeuvres per­formed according to the limits programmed.

7.3.6) Self-learning Other Devices

Normally the self-learning 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 self-learning process can be repeated by proceeding as shown in Figure 15.

1. Press and hold keys [▲] and [Set]

2. Release the keys when leds L1 and L2 start flashing very quickly (after approx. 3 s)

L1 L2

3. Wait a few seconds for the control unit to finish self-learning the devices

4. When the self-learning stage is complete, leds L1 and L2 will turn off, the STOP LED must remain on,

while leds L1…L8 will light up according to the status of the relative ON-OFF functions. L1 L2

After adding or removing any devices, the automation system must be tested again according to the instructions in para-

graph 5.1 “Testing”.

and

7. The LED that corresponds to the selected level flashes. The number of flashes indicates the percentage

of manoeuvres performed (in multiples of 10%) in relation to the set limit.
For example: with the maintenance warning set on L6 being 10000, 10% is equal to 1000 manoeuvres;
if the LED flashes 4 times, this means that 40% of the manoeuvres have been reached (between 4000
and 4999 manoeuvres).
The LED will not flash if 10% of the manoeuvres has not yet been reached.

Symptoms Recommended checks

The radio transmitter does not control the gate
and the LED on the transmitter does not light up.
The radio transmitter does not control the gate
but the LED on the transmitter lights up
No manoeuvre starts and the “BlueBUS” LED
does not flash

No manoeuvre starts and the flashing light is off

No manoeuvre starts and the flashing light
flashes a few times
The manoeuvre starts but it is immediately
followed by a reverse run
The manoeuvre is carried out but the flashing
light does not work

The manoeuvre is carried out but the Open
Gate Indicator does not work

Check to see if the transmitter batteries are discharged, if necessary replace them

Check to see if the transmitter has been memorised correctly in the radio receiver

Check that RUN is powered by a 230V mains supply.
Check to see if the fuses are blown; if necessary, locate the reason for the failure and
then replace the fuses with others of 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 level of obstacle detection sensitivity could be too high for the type of gate.
Check to see whether there are any obstacles; if necessary select a lower level of sensitivity.
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 10-30Vdc); if
there is voltage, the problem is due to the lamp; in this case replace the lamp with one
of 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 Gate Open indicator output (L4 on table

9). When the indicator should be lit, check that there is voltage on the Open Gate Indi­cator terminal (approx. 24 Vdc); if voltage is present the problem is 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 open gate indicator output.Check that the
cable has not short-circuited.

7.8.1) Remote programming unit

More specifically, connector BusT4 (see figure 30) enables connec­tion of the remote programming unit Oview which enables complete
and rapid management of installation, maintenance and trou­bleshooting of any malfunctions.
To access the connector, remote the membrane as shown in figure

31. The remote programming unit can be placed at a distance from
the control unit, with up to 100m of cable; it can be connected simul­taneously to up to 16 and can remain connected during normal
operation of RUN; in this case a specific “user” menu enables deliv­ery of commands to the control unit.
If a OXI (o OXIT) type radio receiver is inserted in the control unit, the
remote programming unit enables access to the parameters of the
memorised transmitters.
These functions require a 4-core connection cable (BusT4).
The RUN control unit firmware can also be updated. Further infor­mation is available in the Oview programmer instruction manual.

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 posses 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
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 guar­antee 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 door 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 very depending on the intensity of use.
Only qualified personnel are authorised 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 RUN gearmotor

26

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.

penetrare all'interno della centrale e di altri dispositivi aperti; eventual­mente rivolgersi al servizio di assistenza NICE; l'uso di RUN in queste
situazioni può causare situazioni di pericolo

• L'automatismo non può essere utilizzato prima di aver effettuato la

messa in servizio come specificato nel capitolo: “5 Collaudo e messa
in servizio”.

• Il materiale dell'imballaggio di RUN deve essere smaltito nel pieno

rispetto della normativa locale.

• Nel caso di guasto non risolvibile facendo uso delle informazioni ripor-

tate nel presente manuale, interpellare il servizio di assistenza NICE.

• Qualora si verifichino interventi di interruttori automatici o di fusibili, pri-

ma di ripristinarli è necessario individuare ed eliminare il guasto.

• Prima di accedere ai morsetti interni al coperchio di RUN scollegare

tutti i circuiti di alimentazione; se il dispositivo di sconnessione non è a
vista apporvi un cartello: “ATTENZIONE MANUTENZIONE IN CORSO”.

RUN è una linea di motoriduttori elettromeccanici irreversibili, desti­nati all' automazione di cancelli scorrevoli. Dispongono di una cen­trale elettronica di controllo e di un connettore tipo “SM” per il ricevi­tore dei radiocomandi (opzionale). I collegamenti elettrici verso i
dispositivi esterni sono semplificati grazie all'uso di “BlueBUS”, una
tecnica che permette di collegare più dispositivi con soli 2 fili. L'e­lenco dei dispositivi che si possono collegare a BlueBUS di Run è
presente nel capitolo 7.3.1 "BlueBUS"; un elenco aggiornato, con le

relative compatibilità è presente anche su: www.niceforyou.com.
RUN dispone di un connettore per l'unità di programmazione remo­ta che consente una completa e rapida gestione dell'installazione,
della manutenzione e della diagnosi di eventuali malfunzionamenti;
vedere anche 7.8.1 "Unità di programmazione remota".
RUN funzionano mediante energia elettrica, in caso di mancanza di
alimentazione dalla rete elettrica, è possibile effettuare lo sblocco
mediante apposita chiave e muovere manualmente il cancello.

Della linea RUN fanno parte i prodotti le cui differenze principali sono descritte in tabella 1.

Nota: 1Kg = 9,81N quindi, ad esempio: 1390N = 142Kg

2.1) Limiti d’impiego

I dati relativi alle prestazioni dei prodotti della linea RUN sono ripor­tati nel capitolo “8 Caratteristiche tecniche” e sono gli unici valori che
consentono la corretta valutazione dell'idoneità all'uso. Le caratteri­stiche strutturali di RUN li rendono adatti all'uso su ante scorrevoli,
secondo i limiti riportati nelle tabelle 2, 3 e 4.

La reale idoneità di RUN ad automatizzare un determinato cancello
scorrevole dipende dagli attriti e da altri fenomeni, anche occasiona­li, come la presenza di ghiaccio che potrebbe ostacolare il movi­mento dell'anta.
Per una verifica reale è assolutamente indispensabile misurare la for­za necessaria per muovere l'anta in tutta la sua corsa e controllare
che questa non superi la metà della “coppia nominale” riportata nel
capitolo “8 Caratteristiche tecniche” (è consigliato un margine del
50% perché le condizioni climatiche avverse possono far aumentare

gli attriti); inoltre per stabilire il numero di cicli/ora e i cicli consecutivi
occorre considerare quanto riportato nelle tabelle 2 e 3.
