Product Description And Intended Use; Device Installation - Nice MhouseKit FL100W Instrucciones Y Advertencias Para La Instalación Y El Uso

1 - Safety precautions and warnings
Caution! • Important safety instructions: keep these instructions
in a safe place. • For personal safety, these instructions should be
strictly observed; therefore read this entire manual carefully be-
fore starting any work.
• This manual has been drawn up exclusively for technical personnel qual-
ified for installation; no other information in this manual may be consid-
ered of interest to the final user!
• All work phases required to achieve product operativity must be per-
formed in observance of all warnings and instructions envisaged in this
manual; all legislation, standards and regulations applicable in the area
of use must also be observed, to guarantee the maximum safety for the
installer and final user of the automation.
• Before starting installation, ensure that the parameters of the site of in-
stallation and use are compatible with those specified in chapter 3 and
the chapter "Technical Specifications". If in doubt, do not use the device
and request assistance from the Nice technical service.
• Never disassemble or modify the product other than as specified in fig.
1; unauthorised modifications can only lead to malfunctions. Nice de-
clines all liability for damage caused by unauthorised product modifica-
tions.
• Do not remove the diffuser-lens covering the Led; this could be hazard-
ous to the eyes as the led emits a concentrated light.
• To replace the batteries supplied, use exclusively the type specified
in the chapter "Technical specifications"; other types of battery could
cause damage to the product and constitute a hazard.

2 - Product description and intended use

FL100W is a luminous indicator powered by solar energy via a built-in
photovoltaic cell, and communicates with the control unit via "wireless"
radio signals. Is equipped with Mhouse Power&Free System System
radio technology and is only compatible with devices that use this tech-
nology.
The device can be used as a flashing light to indicate movement of an
automation, or as a courtesy light to light up the area around the gate.
When used as a flashing light, the device is able to adapt luminosity on the
basis of ambient lighting, while when used as a courtesy light, the device
is only activated during the hours of darkness (it lights up at the end of a
manoeuvre and remains lit for a set time interval).
Several FL100W devices can be connected to the same control unit, each
set with a function as required, from those envisaged in Table A.
Any use other than that described and in ambient conditions other
than those specified in this manual is to be considered improper
and is strictly prohibited! Improper use may cause hazards, dam-
age or physical injury.
3 - Application limits and initial checks
Before proceeding with device installation, a number of factors regarding
the operating principle must be taken into account, to achieve optimal
functionality and safety.
• FL100W can only be connected to automations equipped with Mhouse
radio technology Power&Free System System.
• FL100W can only be installed in the positions shown in fig. 3.
• FL100W integrates a cell for photovoltaic power supply; therefore use is
only possible in open areas exposed to sunlight. During installation, the
cell should be positioned, when possible, facing North (if the automation
is located south of the Equator), or South (if the automation is located
north of the Equator), so that it exploits the maximum amount of sunlight
when the sun reaches its peak during the day. Different positions, or the
presence of shady periods can reduce power autonomy.
• Additional application limits include the data provided in the chapter
"Technical Specifications".

4 - Device installation

01. Selecting the location and position for device installation.
In general, the device must be positioned with the photovoltaic cell
facing the sky and when possible positioned in the direction NORTH
or SOUTH, so that it can be exposed to direct sunlight constantly for
the entire day in all periods of the year.
The choice of direction (North or South) must be based on the
geographical location of device installation. Therefore:
– if the location is North of the equator (United States, Europe, Russia,
etc.), when possible position the cell towards the SOUTH;
– if the location is South of the equator (Latin America, Australia, Indo-
nesia, etc.), when possible position the cell towards the NORTH;
Warnings:
• The selected position for installation must comply with the following
specifications:
– the positions shown in fig. 3 are the only admissible ones for device
installation;
– the position must be far from plants, roofing, walls or other situa-
1 – English
tions which may shadow the photovoltaic cell, even only partially, for
most of the day. In these cases, to minimise the reduction in power
autonomy, it is best to direct the cell slightly to the right or left with
respect to the ideal direction;
– the position must enable complete visibility of the device, also from
a distance;
– the position must enable future simple access for cleaning and
maintenance (battery replacement).
• Ensure that the surface for mounting the device is solid and can
guarantee a stable fixture.
02. Device disassembly.
Disassemble the device as shown in fig. 1. Caution! – There is no
need for further disassembly.
03. Selecting the device operating mode.
In Table A select the device operating mode and configure the latter
by positioning the jumpers as specified in the table.
04. Connecting, programming and testing the device.
Important! – The section regarding connection, programming and
testing of the device is not described in this manual, and is found in
the manual supplied with the automation in the series Power&Free
System System.
As the operations regarding battery insertion (fig. 4), connection
to the control unit, selection of the operating mode and testing
the radio network must be performed with the device opened and
not yet permanently fixed to the mounting surface , all these stated
operations must be performed at this stage, with reference to the
automation control unit manual.
To identify the keys and leds specified in the manual on the device
itself, refer to fig. 2.
05. Permanently fixing the device.
Then permanently fix the device with reference to fig. 5 or 6 and the
following warnings.
a) Fixing the device on a horizontal surface. Before permanently fix-
ing the transparent cone on the surface, check to ensure it is directed
correctly. This will ensure that on completion of assembly the cell will
be positioned exactly in the direction established in point 01 of this
chapter.
b) Fixing the device on a vertical wall. Before permanently fixing the
transparent cone on the wall support, check that it is directed cor-
rectly and locate, on the wall support base, the most suitable fixing
holes for this position. This will ensure that on completion of assembly
the cell will be positioned exactly in the direction established in point
01 of this chapter.
TABLE A
- Device operating modes
A
= Flashing Light (at times envisaged by the
control unit)
B
= Courtesy Light (lit during manoeuvre and
for a further 15 seconds)
C
= Courtesy Light (lit during manoeuvre and
for a further 30 seconds)
D
= Courtesy Light (lit during manoeuvre and
for a further 45 seconds)
E
= Courtesy Light (lit during manoeuvre and

for a further 90 seconds)
Notes: • During operation, the courtesy light is only activated when
the device detects dusk or total darkness. • To test activation of the
courtesy light during the day, cover the cell with an object or material to
simulate darkness.
5 - Diagnostics and explanation of Led flashes
Leds "A" and "B" (fig. 2) on the device emit a series of flashes during
insertion of the batteries, a manoeuvre or a device operation test. To un-
derstand the meaning of these flashes, refer to the control unit manual of
the automation to which the device is connected.
