before resetting it .
• The automation mechanism cannot be used before it has been commis-
sioned as specified in the chapter on "Testing and commissioning".
• Inspect the automation mechanism frequently to check for unbalancing,
signs of wear or damage to electrical cables and mechanical parts . Do not
use the automation mechanism if adjustment or repair is required .
• If it is not used for a long time, remove the optional battery and keep it in a dry
place to make sure it does not leak harmful substances .
• The packing materials of the product must be disposed of in compliance with
local regulations .

1.3 - Warnings about use

• The product is not intended for use by persons, including children, with lim-
ited physical, sensory or mental capacities, or who lack experience or knowl-
edge, unless supervised or trained in the use of the product by a person
responsible for their safety .
• Any children near the automation system must be kept under supervision to
ensure that they do not play with it .
• Do not allow children to play with the fixed control devices. Keep remote
control devices out of their reach as well .
• Clean the surfaces of the product with a soft, slightly damp cloth . Use only
water; do not use cleaning products or solvents .

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
This product is intended to be used to automate sliding gates used in residential
premises . CAUTION! – All uses other than the intended use described
and use in environmental conditions other than those described in this
manual should be considered improper and forbidden!
RUN is a line of one-way electromechanical gearmotors with electronic control-
ler and SM type connector for the wireless receiver (optional) . Electrical con-
nections with external devices are simplified thanks to use of the "BlueBus", a
technique permitting connection of multiple devices with only 2 wires . The list
of devices compatible with RUN over the BlueBus network is given in Chap-
ter 7.3.1 "BlueBus"; an up-to-date list, with compatibility specifications, is also
available on www .niceforyou .com .
RUN has a remote programmer connector to facilitate installation, maintenance
and troubleshooting; see Chapter 7 .8 .1 "Remote programmer" .
If mains powered, Run can be fitted with a backup battery to provide power
during power failures so that it can be operated for several hours (see par .
7 .8 .2) . In the event of power failure, it is still possible to operate the gate by
releasing the gearmotor with its release handle (see par . 3 .6) .
The automation mechanism permits installation of various accessories to add
functions and improve security .
The RUN product line includes the following products (table 1 - see fig.1).

INSTALLATION

3.1 - Tests prior to installation

Caution! - The installation of RUN must be carried out by qualified per-
sonnel in compliance with current legislation, standards and regula-
tions, and the directions provided in this manual.
Before proceeding with the installation of RUN 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 gate fall within the specified
operating limits provided in chapter 3 .2 "Operating limits" .
• Check that the force required to start the movement of the gate is less than
half the "maximum torque", and that the force required to keep the gate in
movement is less than half the "nominal torque" . Compare the resulting val-
ues with those specified in the "Technical Characteristics" . The manufacturer
recommends 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
phases of the gates .
• Check that there is no risk of derailment or that the gates may come off their
guides .
• Make sure that the mechanical stops are sturdy enough and that there is no
risk of deformation even if the gate hits the mechanical stop violently .
• Make sure that the gate section is balanced, i .e . it must not move if left still in
any position .
• Make sure that the area where the gearmotor is fixed is not subject to flood-
ing; iff necessary, mount the gearmotor raised from the ground .
• Make sure that the installation area enables the release of the gearmotor and
that it is safe and easy to release it manually .
• Make sure that the mounting positions of the various devices are protected
from impacts 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 poten-
tially explosive atmosphere; this could damage RUN and cause malfunctions
or dangerous situations .
• If there is an access door in the gate, or within the range of movement of the
gate, make sure that it does not obstruct normal travel and, if necessary,
provide an appropriate interlock system .
• Connect the control unit to an electricity supply with a safety earth system .
• Connect the gate to the protective earth in accordance with current legisla-
tion .
• Provide a device on the electricity supply line that ensures complete dis-
connection of the automation mechanism from the grid . The disconnection
device must have contacts with an opening distance large enough to per-
mit complete disconnection under the conditions sanctioned by overvoltage
category III, in accordance with installation regulations . The device ensures
quick, safe disconnection from the power supply if needed, and must there-
fore be positioned in view of the automation mechanism . If, on the other
hand, it is located in a position which is not visible, there must be a system
for preventing accidental or unauthorized reconnection with the power grid to
prevent this risk . The disconnection device is not supplied with the product .

3.2 - Operating limits

The "Technical Characteristics" chapter provides all the data needed to deter-
mine whether the products of the RUN line are suitable for the intended appli-
cation .
The structural characteristics of RUN make it suitable for use on sliding gates in
conformity with the limits indicated in tables 2 and 3 .
The effective suitability of RUN to automate a particular sliding gate depends on
the friction as well as other correlated factors, such as ice, that could interfere
with the movement of the gate .
For an effective control it is absolutely vital to measure the force necessary
to move the gate 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, it is necessary to take into
consideration the data indicated in tables 1 and 2 to establish the number of
cycles/hour, consecutive cycles and maximum speed allowed .
