2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AND INTENDED USE
X-Bar is an electromechanical road barrier for residential use; it controls open-
ing and closing of a road transit point with widths up to 3 metres.
CAUTION! – Any uses other than those specified herein or in environmen-
tal conditions other than as stated in this manual are to be considered
improper and are strictly prohibited!
X-Bar is an electromechanical gearmotor with a 24 V motor, with incorporated
flashing light signal and electric limit switch system. The control unit is set up for
connected to devices belonging to the Nice Opera system and connection to
the solar power system "Solemyo" (see paragraph 4.9.3).
X-Bar runs on electric energy and in the event of a power failure the pole can be
released and moved manually. Alternatively the buffer battery model PS124 can
be used (optional accessory - see paragraph 4.9.2), which guarantees a num-
ber of automation manoeuvres in the first few hours of power failure. To prolong
this period or extend the number of manoeuvres, the Stand by function should
be enabled (see table 6).
X-Bar is also designed for installation of the pole lights, mod. XBA4 (accessory
- see paragraph 4.8).

INSTALLATION

3.1 - Preliminary checks for installation

Before proceeding with installation, check the condition of the product compo-
nents, suitability of the selected model and conditions of the intended installa-
tion environment.
• Ensure that all material used is in perfect condition and suitable for use.
• Ensure that all product application limits can be observed (see paragraph
3.2).
• Ensure that the selected installation environment is compatible with the over-
all dimensions of the product (fig. 2).
• Ensure that the selected surfaces for barrier installation are solid and guaran-
tee a stable fixture.
• Make sure that the fixing zone is not subject to flooding. If necessary, mount
the barrier raised from the ground.
• Ensure that the space around the barrier enables easy and safe completion
of manual manoeuvres.
• Ensure that there are no obstacles along the pole trajectory which prevent the
opening and closing manoeuvres.
• Ensure that each device to be installed is in a sheltered location and protect-
ed against the risk of accidental impact.

3.2 - Product application limit

Before installing the product, ensure that all values specified in the chapter
"Technical product specifications" and maximum cycle frequency as stated in
Table 1 are compatible with the intended use.
– Ensure that the estimated durability (see paragraph 3.2.1) is compatible with
the intended use.
–Ensure that all limits, conditions and warnings in this manual can be observed.

3.2.1 - Product durability

The lifetime is the average economic duration of the product. The value of life-
time is strongly influenced by the intensity of the manoeuvres, i.e. the sum of all
factors that contribute to product wear (see Table 2).
To estimate the lifetime of your automation, proceed as follows:
01. Add the values of the items in Table 2 regarding the system conditions;
02. In Graph 1 from the value obtained above, trace vertical line until it inter-
sects the curve; from this point trace a horizontal line until it intersects the
line of the "manoeuvre cycles". The obtained value is the estimated lifetime
of your product.
The lifetime values specified in the graph are only obtainable if the maintenance
schedule is strictly observed (see chapter "Maintenance schedule"). The esti-
mation of lifetime is made on the basis of design calculations and the results of
tests performed on prototypes. As it is only an estimation, it does not represent
any form of guarantee on the effective lifetime of the product.

Example of calculating lifetime of road barrier X-Bar (refer to Table 2 and Graph 1):
X-Bar with lights XBA4 (severity index of 15%) - Presence of saline mist (severity
index of 10%): Total severity index = 25%
The estimated durability is approx. 240,000 manoeuvre cycles.

3.3 - Typical system

Fig. 3 shows the components in the product pack:
[a] - road barrier with built-in control unit
[b] - pole support
[c] - impact protection profile (6 parts)
[d] - pole plug
[e] - 3 aluminium profiles for pole (1 m each)
[f] - 4 pole joining brackets
[g] - 2 pole joining brackets
[h] - 4 joints for impact protection rubber
[i] - metal hardware (screws, washers, etc. keys for manual locking and
release of the pole)
[l] - 2 pole joints
Fig. 1 shows an example of an automation system set up with Nice compo-
nents. With reference to the typical standard layout in fig. 1, locate the approx-
imate position for installation of each component envisaged in the system.
CAUTION! – In general, position the ends of the ducting used for electri-
cal cables in the vicinity of the points envisaged for fixture of the various
50
components. Note: The ducting serves to protect electric cables and prevent
accidental damage, such as in the case of impact.

The barrier is factory set for the closing manoeuvre to the left; in this
phase, it is important to decide whether the opening direction of the pole is to
be inverted.
If Closure to the right, is required proceed as follows:
01. Loosen the 2 screws fixing the cabinet door Fig. 4;
02. Remove the balancing screw, detaching it from the balancing lever (Fig. 5 -
phase A, B, C, D);
03. Remove the balancing screw support bolt (Fig. 6 - A);
04. Release the gear motor (see paragraph 3.6 - Fig. 6 - B);
05. Turn the balancing lever through 90° (Fig. 6 - C - use a rubber mallet if re -
quired);
06. Tighten the balancing screw support bolt fully down (Fig. 7);
07. Attach the balancing screw in the correct location (Fig. 8 - phase A, B);
08. Lock the gear motor (see paragraph 3.6);
09. On the control unit, activate (ON) the function "Motor rotation direction"
(see chapter 6 - Table 6).
Prepare the electrical cables needed for your system, referring to Fig. and
"Table 3 - Technical characteristics of electrical cables".
