1) Warnings
This manual contains important information regarding safety
during installation, therefore before starting installation, it is
important that you read all the information contained herein.
Store this manual in a safe place for future use.
Due to the dangers which may arise during both the installa-
tion and use of the F210B, installation must be carried out in
full respect of the laws, provisions and rules currently in force
in order to ensure maximum safety.
According to the most recent European legislation, the
automation of a door or gate is governed by the provi-
sions listed in Directive 98/37/CE (Machine Directive)
and, more specifically, by provisions: EN 13241-1 (har-
monized standard); EN 12445; EN 12453 and EN 12635,
which enable to declare the conformity of the product
to the machine directive.
Further information, risk analysis guidelines and how to draw
up the Technical Documentation are available at: www.nice-
foryou.com". This manual has been especially written for use
by qualified fitters, none of the information provided in this
manual can be considered as being of interest to end users!
• The use of F210B which is not explicitly provided for in
these instructions is not permitted. Improper use may
cause damage and personal injury.
• Do not modify any components unless such action is
specified in these instructions. Operations of this kind are
likely to lead to malfunctions. NICE disclaims any liability for
damage resulting from modified products.
• FT210B must only function through TX-RX direct interpo-
lation. Use through reflection is prohibited.
• Use suitable conductors for the electrical connections as
specified in the "installation" chapter.
2) Product description and applications
FT210B is a device with "BlueBUS" technology that resolves
the problems of electrical connections of sensitive edges on
the moving leaf. The device comprises a battery powered
infrared beam transmitter (TX) that is positioned on the
mobile leaf on which is connected the sensitive edge. In addi-
tion to this is a receiver (RX) which is positioned on the fixed
section and connected using just 2 wires to all control units
and devices with "BlueBUS" technology.
FT210B can be used in 2 different ways:
• as part of a pressure sensitive safety device (PSPE)
through the control of the sensitive edge status
• as a D type presence sensor (photocell) through the con-
trol of the breaking of the infrared beam
In the first case, the 8.2kohm constant resistance type sen-
sitive edge is continually controlled by the transmitter and the
activation or deactivation is transmitted to the receiver. The
RX receiver translates the information and communicates it
to the control unit via the "BlueBUS" network. The transmis-
sion between TX-RX and the "BlueBUS" communication
between the RX and the control unit is codified by means of
high security techniques, such that the entire TX/RX/Control
unit system complies to the failsafe category 3 according to
the EN 954-1 standard and can therefore be used in EN
12978 standard PSPE systems.
• Make sure that the electrical power supply and the other
use parameters correspond to the values indicated in
"technical characteristics" table.
• The manufacture of safety devices for automatic doors and
gates is subjected to the following standards:
• EN 12453 - Industrial, commercial and garage doors
and gates. Safety in use of power operated doors -
Requirements
• EN 12978 - Industrial, commercial and garage doors
and gates. Safety devices for power operated doors and
gates - Requirements and test methods
The installation and connection of the FT210B as a safety
device must be performed in compliance to the said stan-
dards, if the necessary provisions are not taken, this will be
automatically considered as negligence and deliberate
abuse!
Particular warnings concerning the suitable use of this prod-
uct in relation to the 89/336/EEC "Electromagnetic Compat-
ibility" Directive and subsequent modifications 92/31/EEC
and 93/68/EEC:
This product has been subjected to tests regarding the elec-
tromagnetic compatibility in the most critical of use condi-
tions, in the configurations foreseen in this instructions man-
ual and in combination with articles present in the Nice S.p.a.
product catalogue The electromagnetic compatibility may not
be guaranteed if used in configurations or with other prod-
ucts that have not been foreseen; the use of the product is
prohibited in these situations until the correspondence to the
requirements foreseen by the directive have been verified by
those performing the installation.
In the second case, if the TX and RX are positioned so that
the optical communication takes place through the gap (see
figure 1), the device can also be used as a presence sensor
(type D according to the EN 12453 standard). In fact, the
object that interrupts the beam trips the alarm of the pres-
ence sensor, which is sent via BlueBUS in a distinct and sep-
arate manner depending on the manner in which the sensi-
tive edge has been activated.
