GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS AND
1
PRECAUTIONS
WORKING IN SAFETY!
• CAUTION! – Important instructions: Keep this manual in a safe
place to enable future product maintenance and disposal oper-
ations.
• CAUTION! – All installation procedures, connections, pro-
gramming and maintenance of the product must be performed
exclusively by a qualified technician!
Considering the hazards that may occur during installation and use, maxi-
mum safety is only ensured if the product is installed in strict observance of
current legislation, standards and regulations. This chapter contains gener-
al warnings, while other important warnings are provided in chapters 3
"Installation" and 7 "Testing and commissioning".
According to the most recent legislation, the installation of an auto-
matic gate or door must be in full observance of the standards envis-
aged by European Directive 98/37/EC (Machinery Directive) and in
particular standards: EN 13241-1 (harmonised standard); EN 12445;
EN 12453 and EN 12635, which enable declaration of conformity with
the machinery directive.
Further information, with guidelines to risk assessments and the drafting of
the Technical Documentation can be found on the website www.nicefory-
ou.com. This manual, excluding the detachable appendix "Operation Man-
ual" for the installer, is aimed exclusively at technical personnel qualified for
installation; no other information in this documentation can be considered
of interest to the user.
• Use of the product other than as described in this manual is strictly pro-
hibited; improper use can lead to danger, physical injury or damage to
objects.
• Before installation, an assessment of the associated risks must be made,
including a list of the essential safety requirements as envisaged in Appen-
dix I of the Machinery Directive, specifying the relative solutions adopted.
Note that the risk assessment is one of the documents included in the
automation Technical documentation.
• Check whether other devices are needed to complete the automation on
the basis of the specific conditions of use and dangers present; take into
account all risks of impact, crushing, shearing, dragging etc. and other
hazards in general.
• Never make any modifications to parts if not envisaged in these instruc-
tions; operations of this type will lead to malfunctions; NICE declines all lia-
bility for damage caused by modified products.
• During installation and use, ensure that no solids or liquids can penetrate
the control unit or other open devices; if necessary contact the NICE assis-
tance service; use in these conditions may constitute a hazard.
• The automation may only be used after completing the "commissioning"
procedure as specified in chapter 5 "Testing and commissioning".
• The product packaging material must be disposed of in full observance
of current local legislation governing waste disposal.
• In the event of faults not solved with the information in this manual, con-
tact the NICE assistance service.
• If an automatic circuit breaker trips or a fuse blows, identify and eliminate
the fault before restoring normal operating conditions.
• Before accessing internal terminals under the cover, disconnect all pow-
er circuits. If the disconnect device is not in a visible location, affix a notice
stating: "WARNING: MAINTENANCE IN PROGRESS".
Special warnings regarding suitability of product use in relation to the
"Machinery" Directive" 98/37/EC (ex 89/392/EEC):
• This product is issued onto the market as a "machine component" and is
therefore constructed for incorporation in a machine or for assembly with
other machinery to obtain "a machine" in accordance with the Directive
98/37/EC only in combination with the other components and using the
methods as described in this instruction manual. As envisaged in the
directive 98/37/EC, start-up of the product specified above is not admitted
unless the manufacturer of the machine, in which the product is incorpo-
rated, has identified and declared the machine as conforming to directive
98/37/EC.
Special warnings regarding suitability of product use in relation to the "Low
Voltage" Directive" 2006/95/EEC:
• This product meets the requirements of the "Low Voltage" Directive if
used as specified in the configurations as envisaged in this instruction
manual and in combination with the articles listed in the product catalogue
of Nice S.p.a. These requirements may not be guaranteed if the product is
used in configurations or with other products not envisaged; use of the
product in these situations is strictly prohibited unless the installer has ver-
ified that all requirements of the directive have been met.
Special warnings regarding suitability of product use in relation to the
"Electromagnetic Compatibility" Directive" 2004/108/EEC:
• This product has undergone all tests regarding electromagnetic compat-
ibility in the most critical conditions of use, in the configurations as envis-
aged in this instruction manual and in combination with the articles listed in
the product catalogue of Nice S.p.a. Electromagnetic compatibility may
not be guaranteed if the product is used in configurations or with other
products not envisaged; use of the product in these situations is strictly
prohibited unless the installer has verified that all requirements of the direc-
tive have been met.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND
2
INTENDED USE
TH1500 KCE is designed to automate sliding gates for residential applica-
tions. Any other use than as specified herein or in environmental con-
ditions other than as stated in this manual is to be considered
improper and is strictly prohibited!
The gearmotor comprises a 230 V ac motor, a pinion and a control unit.
The control unit powers all devices present in the system and manages all
relative functions. It is made up of a board and incorporated multi-code
radio receiver which receives the commands sent by a transmitter. Special
functions are also available to enable personalisation of automation use.
The automation enables the installation of various accessories which
enhance functionality and guarantee optimal safety.
The product is mains-powered, and, in the event of a power failure enables
manual release of the gearmotor for manual movement of the gate.

INSTALLATION
3.1 - Preliminary installation checks
Before proceeding with installation, check the condition of the product
components, suitability of the selected model and conditions of the intend-
ed installation environment.
IMPORTANT – The gearmotor cannot be used to power a manual
gate that does not have a fully efficient and safe mechanical struc-
ture. Neither can it solve defects caused by poor installation or insuf-
ficient maintenance of the door itself.
3.2 - Checking suitability of the environment and gate
to be automated
• Ensure that the mechanical structure of the gate complies with current
national standards and that it is suitable for automation. (If present, refer to
the information specified on the gate dataplate).
• Ensure that the weight and dimensions of the leaf are within the applica-
tion limits as specified in paragraph 3.3 "Application limits".
• With reference to the values specified in chapter "Product technical
specifications", ensure that:
- the force required to move the gate leaf, is less than half the value of the
force corresponding to the "Maximum Torque";
- the force required to maintain gate movement, is less than half the value
of the force corresponding to the "Nominal Torque". Note – To set the force
value, a margin of 50% is recommended as adverse weather conditions
could increase the degree of friction.
• Move the gate leaf manually to open and close, checking that movement
has the same degree of friction throughout all points of travel (no increase
in friction must occur).
