AND PRECAUTIONS
WORKING IN SAFETY!
• CAUTION! – For personal safety it is important to observe these
instructions.
• CAUTION! – Important safety instructions: Keep these instructions
in a safe place.
• CAUTION! – All product installation, connection, testing, commis-
sioning and maintenance operations must be performed exclusive-
ly by a qualified and skilled technician.
Caution! – Observe the following warnings:
• Never apply modifications to any part of the device. Operations other than as
specified can only cause malfunctions. The manufacturer declines all liability for
damage caused by makeshift modifications to the product.
• Ensure that the buffer battery cannot come into contact with water or other liq-
uids. If liquids penetrate the device interior, disconnect it immediately from the
automation and contact the Nice Assistance Service; use of the device in these
conditions constitutes a hazard.
• Never place the device near to sources of heat and never expose to naked
flames. This may damage the unit and cause malfunctions.
• Disconnect the system from the power mains before installing and
connecting the battery.
• Before proceeding with battery installation, check the condition of the product
components and suitability of the selected model with reference to the product
technical specifications.
• If in any doubt regarding installation, do not proceed and contact the Nice Tech-
nical Assistance for clarifications.

rent local legislation governing waste disposal.
• In the event of periods of disuse, disconnect it from the automation and store in
a dry location to avoid the risk of leaks of harmful substances.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND
2
INTENDED USE
This product is a buffer battery designed for use in automations for gates and
garage doors using Nice control units. CAUTION! – Any use other than as
described herein is to be considered improper and is strictly prohibited!
The battery supplies emergency power to an automation in the event of a sudden
power failure.
When the battery is charged it can guarantee automation autonomy of approx.
10 manoeuvres. Other characteristics are provided in the chapter "Product Tech-
nical Specifications".
The model PS324 can also be installed outside a control unit, using the relative
brackets and cable (mod. TNA9 – optional accessory).

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
Proceed with installation and connection of the battery, with reference to the
instruction manual of the automation to which it is to be connected.
• For models PS124 and PS324: the connectors of the cable connecting
the battery to the control unit are not polarised and therefore there is no
need to observe polarity. Use the thinner connector for the buffer battery
and the wider version for the control unit;
• For model PS224: the cable connecting the battery to the control unit is
not polarised and therefore can be connected to the connectors on either
side. However the connectors are polarised and therefore must be inserted
observing the direction indicated on the retainer tab.
Warnings

TESTING AND COMMISSIONING
The following checks must be performed immediately after connecting the buffer
battery to the control unit.
1 On the buffer battery: ensure that led "L2" (fig.1) is lit; this indicates that the
battery is supplying power to the system.
On the Control unit: ensure that the leds indicate correct operation of the
control unit.
If the result is not positive the buffer battery is probably discharged. At this
point, with the automation powered by the mains, perform the operation
described in point "2". Important – Wait a few hours before repeating the
operation check.
2 Connect the automation to the electric mains and ensure that buffer battery led
"L1" (fig.1) is lit; this indicates that the battery is recharging correctly.
3 Run a complete Opening or Closing manoeuvre of the automation to ensure
correct operation of the entire system when powered by the mains.
4 Disconnect the automation from the mains and ensure that buffer battery led
"L2" (fig.1) is lit; then run at least one complete Opening and Closing manoeu-
vre of the automation to ensure correct operation of the entire system when
powered by the buffer battery.
– Models PS124 and PS324: the speed of automation manoeuvres with
these models of buffer battery, according to the type of automation connected,
may be low even if the speed is set to high;
– Model PS224: operation of the automation with this model of buffer battery,
according to the type of automation connected, may reduce the manoeuvre
execution speed with respect to the speed when connected to the power
mains;
5 At the end of the above checks, reconnect the automation to the power mains.
DISPOSAL OF THE PRODUCT
This product constitutes an integral part of the automation system, there-
fore it must be disposed of along with it.
