manual for warnings when selecting the suitable location.
This control unit and relative accessories are part of the alarm system “Nice
Home Security”, designed for the protection of residential spaces. Any use
other than as described in this manual is strictly prohibited!
The alarm system Nice Home Security is not to be considered simply a home
burglar alarm, as it is able to detect a variety of events thanks to special sen-
sors: intrusion, break-in attempts (impact-vibration sensor), fire risks (smoke
detector) and water leaks (flooding sensor)
The different alarm situations can be indicated locally with audible signals
(indoor or outdoor sirens), with voice messages or remotely via telephone calls
or text messages.
The system offers maximum installation flexibility: the various elements can
interact totally via radio, without the need for any electrical connections or, in
some cases, with just short connections (for example the electrical contact of
the door may be connected to the volumetric sensor located in the corner of
the room) or may be partially wired where the main elements (control unit, siren,
telephone dialler) use conventional electrical connections.
Though based on communication via radio waves, the system guarantees total
reliability of communication between devices, thanks to the use of 2 separate
frequencies (433 and 868 MHz); communication between the main elements is
also bidirectional, i.e. when a device sends a command, it waits to receive the
confirmation response.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE

2.1 - Radio communication system between devices
The radio system Nice Home Security offers increased flexibility and simpler
installation with respect to traditional systems using fixed wiring. In any event, to
ensure radio communication without interference (and thus guaranteed), the
following factors must be taken into account:
• Radio transmission inside buildings
Radio signals are electromagnetic waves, which when emitted by a transmitter
unit are propagated in the surrounding area through to the receiving unit. On
this route, the radio signal may encounter obstacles, which depending on the
construction material, may weaken signal power. Common residential buildings
may be made up of different materials: Table 1, provides information on the
range of radio signals inside buildings, considering both the construction mate-
rials used and the mounting position.
• Sources of electromagnetic disturbance
Sources of electromagnetic disturbance are natural sources (terrestrial or solar),
occasional sources (e.g. lightning), or intentional artificial sources; the latter are
those most frequently present in modern environments. Table 2, provides infor-
mation on possible disturbance and relative risks associated with communica-
tion of other systems. As regards the frequencies used by the system, the use
of devices with continuous transmission (100%) is prohibited unless below cer-
tain power classes. However, illegal devices that operate with continuous trans-
mission are commercially available. The use of a radio system at dual frequen-
cy avoids the risk of disturbance unless the specific disturbance covers both
frequencies.

To obtain a perfectly operational and efficient system in terms of the intended
use, the system must first be designed “at the table”, before proceeding to the
operating phases described in this manual. In particular it is fundamental to
establish the number and type of detectors to be used, and their relative loca-
tion according to the specific actions required. To ensure a suitable design, a
layout of the building should be drawn up where the alarm system is to be
installed, specifying the name and position of each device envisaged in the sys-
tem. This layout drawing will be useful and also decisive in the system configu-
ration phase, for example when the name of each device needs to be memo-
rised.
3.1 - How to divide up the home and zones to be protected
The control unit can be programmed to control the entire home concerned or
portions of the latter. For this reason, it is important to first divide up the entire
area covered by the system into three “intervention zones” (zones A- B- C),
assigning each environment to one of the three zones, according to a suitable
and functional logic.
In the case of single buildings, an initial division logic is one of “concentric cir-
cles” (see fig. 1). Using this logic, the user can assign, for example, detectors
positioned outside the building to zone A, the perimeter detectors (on doors
and windows) to zone B and the detectors inside the building to zone C. This
division enables, for example, dissuasion of intrusion attempts by means of
voice messages emitted by the siren (in zone A) before entry, or activation of a
DESIGNING AN ALARM SYSTEM

siren alarm on the first attempt at break-in via a door or window (in zone B), or
calls to the police forces only when the indoor detectors (in zone C) signal intru-
sion.
Another logic used to divide the areas to be protected is one of “uniform
blocks” (see fig. 2). Using this logic, the user can assign, for example, the
rooms on the ground floor to zone A, the rooms on the first floor to zone B, and
the garage to zone C. This division enables, for example, activation of the alarm
in the garage (zone C) while normal activities can continue in the rest of the
house.
3.2 - Where to position the alarm system components
To decide on the position of the various components of the system, refer to fig. 3
and also ensure the following conditions:
• Control unit
- The control units operate by transmitting and receiving low power radio sig-
nals (within the limits as specified in the relevant standards), and therefore
must be installed in zones that ensure efficient propagation of the signals.
Therefore avoid alcoves, metal cabinets, posts and walls in reinforced con-
crete; also ensure that there are no large metal surfaces or grids in the vicinity
of the control unit, including those embedded in walls.
- The control unit should be positioned at the centre with respect to the other
devices (see also paragraph 2.1 “Radio transmission inside buildings”).

- The quality of the radio signal received can be checked on the control unit dis-
play (see paragraph 9.2.5 “FIELD METER test”) and if in doubt, test before fix-
ing the control unit to the wall. In the case of radio appliances, a change in
position of even just a few centimetres can significantly improve signal recep-
tion and transmission.
- The control units are equipped with a keypad that enables programming dur-
ing installation and daily use of a number of functions, such as activation/dea-
ctivation of the alarm. If these functions are required, the control unit must be
located in an accessible position, normally close to the main entrance door.
- If a connection to the telephone line is required, ensure that the relative hook-
up is feasible.
- The control units with mains power must be positioned where the relative
electrical connection is possible.
• Keypads
For aesthetic reasons or due to electrical connection requirements, if the con-
trol unit has to be positioned far from the main entrance door, a keypad should
be installed in the vicinity.
If there are other entrance points to the home, a keypad should be installed at
each access point. The keypads can be wall-mounted or portable (as with a
transmitter) if required.
• Sirens
In the case of isolated buildings, the installation of at least one outdoor siren is
strongly recommended. This should be positioned in a highly visible location (to
aid as a deterrent) but in a place difficult to access by vandals/burglars.
Although the sirens are adequately protected for outdoor applications, they
should be installed in an area protected against direct rain; the ideal location
would be under a protruding roof or on a terrace/balcony.
The control unit has an incorporated siren, but in large or multi-floor buildings,
the addition of one or more indoor sirens is recommended, located in the main
rooms.
In small apartments, or densely populated areas, an outdoor siren may not be
welcome; in this case, one or more indoor sirens may be used to increase the
deterrent effect.
• Sensors
The choice of the type of sensor to be used is fundamental, as is the relative
position of installation: an incorrect sensor or one positioned in an unsuitable
location may not detect intrusion or may generate improper alarm signals. Each
type of sensor has a different operating principle; refer to the correct selection
criteria for each sensor in Table 3.

Door sensor: this is an intruder sensor designed to protect doors or windows, and signals opening of the latter when the magnet is moved away from the
sensor body. The detector is normally mounted on the fixed section of the frame to be protected, on the side opposite the hinge, while the magnet is fitted
on the movable section. To increase protection, a second sensor with an NC or pulse type contact can be connected to a terminal (cable detector for rolling
shutters). This sensor also has an NO input, which can be used, for example, to connect a flooding sensor.
Sensor with vertical curtain lens: this is an intruder detector designed to protect doors or windows; thanks to its curtain lens it signals the movement of
persons present only within the close range in front of the sensor (fig. 4).
The sensor can be “ceiling-mounted”, at the top centre of a door or window (normally between the window and shutter/blind) and in an area protected
against adverse weather conditions. The sensor is fitted with a terminal for connection of a second sensor with an NC or pulse type contact (cable detector
for rolling shutters). This ensures increased protection, optimising coverage of the area to be protected.
Volumetric sensor: this is an intruder detector designed for the protection of rooms; it signals the movement of persons in the protected area. The sensor can
be mounted on a wall, in a corner with the special adaptor and can be set at different angles thanks to the articulated support (accessory not supplied).
Sensor operation is based on the detection of movement of heat-emitting bodies; for this reason, and to avoid improper alarm activation, avoid installation
in points subject to currents of hot or cold air. If the sensor is active and animals (hot-blooded) use the room, a suitable position and angle should be select-
ed to avoid detection below 50-70 cm from the ground (fig. 5); reduce sensor sensitivity if necessary.
The sensor is fitted with a terminal for connection of a second sensor with an NC or pulse type contact (cable detector for rolling shutters). This ensures
increased protection, optimising coverage of the area to be protected.
Volumetric sensors for large environments: normal volumetric sensors have a sensitive range that is able to cover most standard-size rooms. In the case
of large rooms, special sensors are available with surface area coverage of up to 12 m with 120° opening. This type of sensor has a provision to adjust sen-
sitivity to enable precision settings according to the dimensions of the protected area.
Dual technology sensors: these are intruder detectors designed for the protection of rooms; they use 2 different technologies (infrared and microwave) to
detect the movement of persons in the protected area. Infrared technology detects heat emitted by bodies, while microwave technology (Doppler effect)
detects the movement of objects (also cool). The combination of the two technologies achieves maximum efficiency with the minimum risk of improper
alarms.
Sensors for outdoors: sensors are usually designed for protected indoor environments. These operate correctly within a relatively restricted temperature
range and are not completely protected against rain. Special sensors are available for outdoor use, with a temperature range from -25 to +50°C and com-
plete protection against adverse weather conditions. All these sensors have a provision to adjust sensitivity, to enable precision settings according to the
dimensions of the protected area and the avoidance of improper alarms caused, for example, by normal moving objects (tree branches), small animals,
insects etc.
Glass breakage sensor: this sensor detects the breakage of glass (normal glass, double glazing). The detector is fitted with a microphone specially tuned
to recognise the specific noise of glass when it breaks; therefore take great care as the sensor may detect other events that produce a similar noise (for
example a tumbler falling and breaking on the floor). Activation of this sensor is only recommended if there are no persons in the relative zone who could pro-
duce similar sounds.
Also appliances able to generate sudden pressure surges in rooms (air conditioners, fans) may generate improper alarms.
Sound-absorbing materials (such as curtains and carpets) may reduce the sensitivity of the sensor.
The device is optimised with a factory-setting and may not be modified.
To ensure optimal detection, the device must be installed in rooms with an area of 20 to 30 square metres, at a distance of 3 to 6 m from the glass to be pro-
tected and at a height of approx. 2 m.
Installation is not recommended in areas with dimensions of less than 10 m2, in excessively humid environments (bathrooms or kitchens) and in garages with
large metal doors. These conditions can prove critical and may generate improper alarms.
Fine powder detector: this is a detector of fine combustion powder (mist or smoke effect) designed for residential applications. A photodiode detects opac-
ity of the air and signals the alarm directly on site (by means of a buzzer) and also via radio to the control unit. It is a sensor able to detect this event on a max-
imum surface area of 6 x 6 m, and must be positioned on the ceiling at the centre of the area to be protected. Smaller rooms that are not square, such as
corridors, require the use of more than one detector.
Flooding sensor: this sensor detects flooding caused by water leaks. It is wall-mounted, perfectly flush with the floor surface (the internal sensor is raised
by approx. 1 mm from the ground) and positioned in the zone most subject to the risk of water leaks, such as next to a sink or washing machine.
If the floor is not level, the sensor should be placed at the lowest point of the room. The sensor is connected to the NO input of one of the compatible detec-
tors (for example HSDID11).

Control unit
The control unit is the core of the system; it receives information from the detectors, keypads and transmitters and,
according to its status, generates an audible alarm (siren) or sends signals on the fixed or mobile telephone net-
work. It has an incorporated siren for prompt signalling in the event of intrusion. The integrated keypad is used to
configure the system and may also be used as an internal control device. The control unit is equipped with tele-
phone diallers to enable connection between the protected location and the outside world, also at great distances.
In the event of an alarm, it automatically sends a voice warning message to the pre-set telephone numbers: own-
er, police forces, etc. The GSM version also enables the unit to send text messages.
The operating mode can also be reversed, i.e. commands can be sent to the control unit via the telephone.
The models available are:
HSCU1GC Control unit for combined alarm systems, wired and via radio, mains powered at 230 Vac. Equipped with PSTN and GSM telephone diallers

3.3 - Elements in the Nice Home Security alarm system
Transmitters
These represent the most practical and simple means of activating and deactivating the alarm system both inside
and outside the rooms; they enable both partial and total activation of the system and the transmission of emergency
signals.
The models available are:
HSTX4 4-channel bidirectional radio transmitter for alarm systems
HSTX8 8-channel bidirectional radio transmitter (4 channels for alarm systems and 4 for automation control)
Detectors
The detectors serve to control objects and the environment in which they are installed, and to transmit events to the control unit. For efficient control, they
must be positioned at strategic points of the room, doors, windows, shutters, porches etc. The types of detectors are classified as follows:
- perimeter, for opening of doors, windows, shutters
- perimeter, via the “vertical curtain” detector
- volumetric, for the detection of presence inside the area covered by the sensor
- dual technology, a combination of infrared and microwave
- outdoor, designed for the protection of external areas, porches, verandas, gardens etc.
- special, for the detection of flooding, fine combustion powders (smoke), glass breakage etc.
Up to 99 detectors via radio can be used or double this number if programmed in pairs, with the “AND” function. Control units with wired connections are fit-
ted with 6 inputs on detectors with wired connections, for association with the zones A - B - C as required.
The models available are:

Sirens
The dissuasion devices (sirens), with or without luminous indicators (flashing light) are the main elements of dissuasion
in the alarm system. The siren scares and dissuades the intruder, while the flashing light (if fitted) enables illumination of

3.4 - Main features of the Nice Home Security alarm system
To exploit the Nice Home Security alarm system to the full, the user needs to
know all the features to ensure correct configuration of the entire system
according to specific requirements. This section describes the general opera-
tion of the control unit and system: operation depends on the devices present
and type of settings made during installation.
• Types of alarm
There are different types of alarm:
- Pre-alarm status: the control unit emits a pre-alarm voice message.
- Outdoor alarm: the control unit emits an outdoor pre-alarm voice message
via the sirens.
- General alarm: activation of all sirens for 3 minutes and dialling of all tele-
phone numbers envisaged for this type of alarm.
- Panic alarm: when the system is enabled, this activates all sirens for 3 min-
utes and dialling of all telephone numbers envisaged for this type of alarm;
when the system is partially enabled or disabled, this only activates the sirens
via radio.
- Burglar alarm: dialling of all telephone numbers envisaged for this type of
alarm.
- Technological alarm: the control unit emits an intermittent audible signal for
15 seconds and dials all telephone numbers envisaged for this type of alarm.
- Tampering alarm: with the system enabled, this generates a “general ala-
rm”; when the system is partially enabled or disabled, this activates an inter-
mittent audible signal for 3 minutes and dials all telephone numbers envis-
aged for this type of alarm.
• Zones
–Three intruder alarm zones are envisaged: zones A, Band C, which respond
differently according to whether the “outdoor alarm” function is programmed
or not.
With Outdoor alarm: Yes
Zone A, suitable for outdoor detectors that generate an “outdoor alarm”
Zone B, suitable for outdoor detectors that generate a “general alarm”
Zone C, suitable for indoor detectors that generate a “general alarm”
With Outdoor alarm: No
Zone A, suitable for perimeter detectors, for example on the ground floor, that
generate a “general alarm”
Zone B, suitable for perimeter detectors, for example on the first floor, that
generate a “general alarm”
Zone C, suitable for indoor detectors that generate a “general alarm”
–As well as alarm zones A, B and C, which can be activated or deactivated as
required; other constantly active zones are also available (24 hour zones)
Accessory alarm zones, always active
“Panic” zone, activated in the event of necessity via the remote control or
keypads
“Burglar” zone, activated in the event of necessity via the remote control or
keypads
“Technological” zone, activated by the relative detectors of hazardous events,
smoke, flooding etc..
• Alarm activation/deactivation
The following can be used to activate/deactivate the alarm:
- up to 32 bidirectional transmitters, with 4 keys, for deactivation or total acti-
vation of the 3 zones (A+B+C) or partial activation (A+B or B+C), with visual
confirmation of the operation performed;
- up to 32 five-digit codes for deactivation, which depends on the zones
enabled on the transmitter during the programming phase, and total or partial
activation, usable on the control panel or keypads;
- activation override: the user can override to automatic alarm activation at a
set time;
- via telephone calls on PSTN network or GSM (for mod. HSCU1GC only);
- on models with wired connections (mod. HSCU1GC and mod. HSCU1C) a
switch can be connected to alarm activation/deactivation.
• Siren operation
- Indoor sirens: activated for 3 minutes in the event of “general”, “tampering”
or “panic” alarms. Emission of an audible signal; 3 beeps on total or partial
activation and 1 beep on deactivation. The volume can be adjusted through
to level zero.
- Outdoor sirens: activated for 3 minutes in the event of “general”, “tamper-
ing” or “panic” alarms. To avoid disturbance, if the system has been left acti-
vated, the siren is activated after a pre-alarm interval of approx. 10 seconds,
during which a series of beeps are emitted.
Emission of an audible signal on activation and deactivation (3 beeps on total
or partial activation and 1 beep on deactivation).
The volume can be adjusted through to level zero. The flashing light flashes
during siren activation.
In the case of an “outdoor” alarm, the siren remains silent, but a series of
beeps are emitted for 3 minutes.
- Board with voice function for outdoor sirens: if the voice board is fitted,
the sirens send out a warning message during the pre-alarm interval and in
the event of an “outdoor” alarm. These messages must be recorded correct-
ly to obtain the required dissuasion effect.
• Telephone calls
- On fixed PSTN line: up to 6 voice messages can be recorded for each
specific event (see section 6.2.2), which are transmitted to up to 63 users,
the numbers of whom are programmed accordingly.
- On GSM network: the same 6 messages envisaged for the fixed line can
be transmitted via GSM. As well as the voice message, a corresponding text
message can also be sent. A further 11 factory-set “technical” text messages
(see section 6.2.3) are transmitted on the occurrence of specific events.
- Calls to alarm receiving centres: the control units can communicate with
the digital protocol Contact ID and CESA 200 Baud, for contact with alarm
receiving centres. For specific settings, request the relative instructions from
the Nice service centre.
- Remote assistance calls: the control units can be set up to enable the
professional installer to make a remote connection for checks and set-up
operations on the system (see section 6.2.7 - 9.2.8).
• Domotic functions
- Programmable clock: the control unit is fitted with a programmable clock
for automatic activation.
- Relay outputs (for models HSCU1GC and HSCU1C only): two relays are
available for the control of electrical appliances, which can be activated via the
clock by a telephone call or via specific control unit functions (see chapter
9.2.7 - 9.2.9).
- Outputs via radio: 16 commands via radio are available for actuator mod-
els HSTT2L and HSTT2N, which can be activated via a telephone call or
directly via transmitters, keypads or detectors (see chapter 9.2.9).

4.1 - Set-up of system components for configuration
All system devices communicate via radio therefore the system should be con-
figured on a table before final installation of all devices.
The following operations should be carried out for control units that require
electrical connections:
1) configuration of radio devices on a table;
2) final installation of each device;
3) electrical connections.
To avoid errors, operation and reception problems proceed as follows:
The perfect radio coverage of the devices can be checked using this pro-
cedure before installation.
a) Open the packaging and lay out all the products on a table;
b) Insert the “voice guide” memory board supplied in the control panel; on the
GSM version also insert the “SIM” card (see installation paragraph);
c) Power up the control unit and program it in “device acquisition” mode;
d) Put the batteries in the devices which will then be acquired one by one by
the control unit;
d) Test operation of the devices;
e) Place the control unit in the envisaged point (without fixing);
f) Place all the other devices in the envisaged points (without fixing);
g) Check that each device has sufficient coverage for radio communication
(see paragraph “Testing the control unit”).
On the GSM versions check that the signal strength and coverage are suf-
ficient;
h) Install all devices;
i) If necessary, configure the control unit with the advanced and detailed func-
tions.
The next paragraphs describe the control panel installation phases (for all mod-
els) and electrical connections of versions that envisage wiring.
4.2 - Preliminary installation checks and product applica-
tion limits
Before proceeding with installation, check the condition of the product, suit-
ability of the selected model and suitability of the intended installation environ-
ment.
• Check that all use conditions are within the “product application limits” and as
stated in the “Product technical specifications”.
• Check that the intended installation area is suitable for the overall size of the
product.
• Check that the fixing surfaces are sufficiently solid and that the areas are pro-
tected against the risk of impact.
• The product can only be used with products part of the Nice Home Security
system.
4.3 - Control unit description
All control unit models have a system memory board with voice guide (“l”
fig. 6A - 6B). The voice of this guide is in the language of this manual; versions
in a different language are available on request.
This memory board is supplied with this manual and must be inserted in the con-
trol unit before starting installation and with the power off (see paragraph 4.4.2).
This board records all system parameters (excluding voice messages recorded
by the installer or user) of every programming operation and can be transferred
from one control unit to another.
Some control unit models (models HSCU1GC and HSCU1G) are equipped with
a GSM telephone dialler.
The SIM card must be inserted before starting installation and with the power
off (see paragraph 4.4.2). The SIM card can be of any operator and subject to
any type of contract (only the “voice” and text messaging services are used) but
it must be configured with the PIN code = “1234” or have the function “access
without PIN” active: this operation can be carried out by inserting the SIM card
into any GSM telephone.

4.5 - Door and window opening detector
(model HSDID11)
4.5.1 - SPECIAL WARNINGS
To avoid intentional damage, install the product in a position that is difficult
to reach.
4.5.2 - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
HSDID11 is a detector for doors and windows that signals opening as the magnet is
separated from the sensor body. Suitable for use in protected indoor and outdoor
areas. It detects opening of a door or window and signals it via radio to the associated
control unit. Any other use is to be considered improper and prohibited! Nice declines
all liability for damage resulting from improper use of the product and any use other
than as specified in this manual.
4.5.3 - OPERATION
HSDID11 is a detector suitable to protect doors and windows in case of opening (sep-
aration of the magnet from the sensor).
To increase protection it is fitted with a second input for NC type contacts which can be
used to connect another sensor, also pulse type (detector for rolling shutters).
As well as the NC input there is an input for NO contacts which can be used to connect
NO type sensors such as the flooding detector HSDIW01.
The alarm can be single or differentiated for the different detections of the magnetic
sensor and NC + NO input.
Communication is completely via radio with dual band technology; battery operated –
standard 9 V.
Equipped with LED indicator visible from the outside.
Types of alarm signals:
– Intruder alarm: alarm signal following opening of door or window.
– Second alarm: the HSDID11 can be programmed to transmit 2 different alarms
(transmission of 2 different codes): one for the magnetic contact and one for the input
of the NC or NO contacts.
– Supervision: transmission of a signal every 40 minutes to indicate that the system is
running.
– Anti-opening protection: the opening of the battery compartment and/or separation
of the device from the surface on which it is fixed triggers the “tampering” alarm. To
avoid this set the control unit to “TEST” mode before opening the sensor.
– External LED:
• when the LED illuminates for 1 second it indicates that there has been an alarm signal;
• after the alarm signal, if the LED flashes quickly 4 times (timed with 4 acoustic
beeps) it means that the battery is almost discharged.
Replace the battery only when the control unit indicates that the detector has a dis-
charged battery. To replace the battery see the instruction manual of the HSDID11.
4.5.4 - INSTALLATION
For installation operations see the instruction manual of the HSDID11.
4.5.5 - PROGRAMMING OF DIP SWITCHES
Caution! – To program the “dip-switches” remove the battery from the device;
remove the battery also to make any changes and then reprogram.
See fig.20:
1OFF = alarm signal only when open.
1ON = alarm signal when open and closed (alarm end).
2OFF =non-differentiated alarm signal: single code for both alarms.
2ON =differentiated alarm signal: 2 different codes, one for the detector alarm
and one for the alarm of the NC or NO input.
3 OFF =immediate alarm signal on opening of NC input or closure of NO input.
3ON = alarm signal after 6 pulses on NC input.
4 OFF = intruder sensor disabled (for areas subject to vibrations).
4ON = intruder sensor enabled (alarm signal in common with opening signal).
5* OFF = Anti-removal/tamper protection enabled.
5* ON = Anti-removal/tamper protection disabled (to be used when fixed on irregular
or unstable surfaces)
6* = Not used.
(*) available from April 2010.
4.5.6 - CONNECTION OF EXTERNAL DEVICES
To connect external devices using
wires to the NC or NO contact
see fig.21.
With dip-switch 3 set to “ON”
the input is suitable for controlling
rolling shutter detectors or inertia
sensors where the alarm is sig-
nalled after 6 pulses in 30 sec-
onds. The NC input is automati-
cally activated by closing the con-
tact for at least 10 seconds after
inserting the battery.
To memorise the detector in the control unit see chapter 6.
If the NC input on the terminal board is used and a differentiated alarm is required, the
following memorisation steps must be carried out:

products that contain alcohol, benzene, diluents or similar. Do not dust with feath-
er dusters.
• The device must be replaced after 10 years of use; within 2-3 years if installed in
particularly dusty areas.
4.9.2 - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
HSDIS01 is a fine combustion powder detector (mist or smoke effect); suitable for
indoor use. Any other use is to be considered improper and prohibited!
Nice declines all liability for damage resulting from improper use of the product and
any use other than as specified in this manual.
4.9.3 - OPERATION
HSDIS01 is a fine combustion powder detector (mist or smoke effect) designed for
residential applications. A photodiode detects opacity of the air and signals the
alarm directly on site (by means of a buzzer) and also via radio to the control unit.
The detection technology used is of the photo-optical type and does not emit any
type of harmful radiations.
It is suitable to control an area of up to 6 x 6 m; it should be installed on the ceiling
at the centre of the area. Smaller rooms that are not square, such as corridors,
require the use of more than one detector.
Communication is completely via radio with dual band technology; battery operated
- 9 V standard.
Equipped with LED indicator visible from the outside and buzzer for audible signals.
Types of alarm signal:
– Normal operation (self-diagnosis): LED flashes briefly every 45 seconds;
– Alarm status: the concentration of combustion powders in the environment gen-
erates transmission of the alarm signal via radio, continuous flashing of the exter-
nal LED and continuous sounding of the buzzer. The alarm status ends when the
situation ends;
– Presence of heavy powders inside the sensor: short acoustic tone every 45
seconds and flashing of the external LED not synchronised with the acoustic
tone. This alarm status ends once the powder has been removed (this operation
must be carried out by the technical assistance service);
– Battery almost discharged: short acoustic tone every 45 seconds and flashing
of the external LED synchronised with the acoustic tone.
Replace the battery only when the control unit indicates that the detector has a
discharged battery. To replace the battery see the instruction manual of the
HSDIS01.
The battery can be replaced by opening the sensor; this does not generate
alarms (the detector does not have a tampering sensor)
– Supervision: transmission of a signal every 40 minutes to indicate that the sys-
tem is running.
4.9.4 - INSTALLATION
For installation operations see the instruction manual of the HSDIS01.
4.9.5 - PROGRAMMING
HSDIS01 does not require any adjustments or programming.
To memorise the detector in the control unit see chapter 6.2.4. Memorisation is
usually carried out in the zone of the technical alarms.
4.9.6 - TEST
The detector is equipped with a test button to verify efficient operation of the detector.
Press the button for about 1 second to test the sensor; if it is in good working order
the LED should flash, the buzzer should emit acoustic tones and the alarm signal
should be transmitted.
To guarantee adequate safety levels, the test should be carried out at least once a
month.
4.8 -Volumetric detector of glass
breakage (model HSDID01)
4.8.1 - SPECIAL WARNINGS
• To ensure optimal detection, the device must be installed in rooms with an area of
20 to 30 square metres, at a distance of 3 to 6 m from the glass to be protected
and at a height of approx. 2 m (fig. 27).
•Installation is not recommended: in areas with dimensions of less than 3 x 3
m, in excessively humid environments (bathrooms or kitchens) or in garages with
large metal doors. These situations may generate improper alarms.
• Battery lifetime is reduced if the detector is placed in very noisy areas due to the
continuous signalling of noise.
4.8.2 - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
HSDID01 is a detector of glass breakage; suitable for indoor use. Any other use is to
be considered improper and prohibited! Nice declines all liability for damage result-
ing from improper use of the product and any use other than as specified in this
manual.
4.8.3 - OPERATION
HSDID01 is a sensor suitable to detect glass breakage; suitable for normal glass,
double glazing or security glazing. The detector is equipped with a microphone cal-
ibrated to recognise the sound of breaking glass. It must be used with a great deal
of attention because it may also detect a china cup that falls on the floor; the sensor
should only be activated when there is no risk of other sounds that may trigger the
alarm.
Also appliances able to generate sudden pressure surges in rooms (air conditioners,
fans) may generate improper alarms.
Sound-absorbing materials (such as curtains and carpets) may reduce sensitivity of
the device.
The device is optimised with factory-setting and may not be modified.
It contains an anti-tampering detector.
Communication is completely via radio with dual band technology; battery operated
- 9 V standard
Equipped with LED indicator visible from the outside.
Types of alarm signal:
– Noise signal (test): by producing a sudden noise in front of the detector (clap-
ping hands or knocking two metal objects together) the led should flash briefly
twice. These noises do not trigger the alarm. Caution! – If the LED does not flash
after the noise test the battery may be discharged or the device may be faulty.
– Alarm status: the breakage of glass (an old bottle can be broken for testing) gen-
erates the transmission via radio of the alarm signal and makes the LED switch on
for 4 seconds. The LED flashes for about one minute after the alarm;
– Anti-opening protection: The opening of the casing triggers the “tampering”
alarm signal. To avoid this problem, set the control unit to “TEST” mode before
opening the sensor.
– Battery discharged: The low battery signal is transmitted to the control unit a few
days in advance. Replace the battery only when the control unit indicates that the
detector has a discharged battery. To replace the battery see the instruction man-
ual of the HSDID01.
– Supervision: transmission of a signal every 40 minutes to indicate that the sys-
tem is running.
4.8.4 - INSTALLATION
For installation operations see the instruction manual of the HSDID01.
4.8.5 - PROGRAMMING
HSDID01 does not require any adjustments or programming.
To memorise the detector in the control unit see chapter 6.2.4.

4.10 - Flooding detector
(model HSDIW01)
4.10.1 - SPECIAL WARNINGS
• To obtain optimal detection, the device must be installed vertically on
the wall and flush with the ground surface.
• The sensor should be installed in a location most subject to the risk of
water leaks, but if the floor is not level, it should be placed at the low-
est point of the room.
• The sensor is connected to the NO input of one of the compatible detectors (for
example HSDID11). The cable length must not exceed 10 m. Multiple sensors may
be connected in parallel on the same input of the detector.
4.10.2 - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
HSDIW01 is a flooding detector destined for use in alarm systems for indoor applica-
tion. Any other use is to be considered improper and is strictly prohibited! Nice declines
all liability for damage resulting from improper use of the product and other than as
specified in this manual.
4.10.3 - OPERATION
The sensor comprises 2 electric contacts placed at approx. 1 mm from the floor. In the
event of a flood, when the sensor comes into contact with liquid, the event is immedi-
ately read by the detector connected to HSDIW01 by a cable; this then transmits the
emergency signal to the control unit via radio.
Types of alarm signal:
HSDIW01 does not emit any signal.
4.10.4 - INSTALLATION
For installation procedures, refer to the HSDIW01 instruction manual.
4.10.5 - PROGRAMMING
HSDID01 does not require any adjustments or programming. Programming of a differ-
entiated alarm is recommended on the detector connected to the sensor; in this way
the flooding alarm can be distinguished from other types of alarm.
4.11 - 4-channel alarm transmitter (model HSTX4)
4.11.1 - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
HSKPS is a bidirectional keypad with 64 bit variable code (rolling code); it enables the
activation and deactivation of alarm control units, and receives operation confirmation
signals from the latter; otherwise it can be used to control other receivers in the system.
Designed for indoor use.
Any other use is to be considered improper and is strictly prohibited! Nice declines all
liability for damage resulting from improper use of the product and other than as speci-
fied in this manual.
4.11.2 - OPERATION
HSTX4 is fitted with 4 keys; each one is normally assigned
with a specific function:
x= Key : total deactivation
y= Key : total activation
z= Key : partial activation (zones A+B)
w= Key : command key (panic, illness or burglar alarm or receiver control)
The assigned function on keys [ ] and [ ] can be changed, for example key [ ] can
be used as a command key or key [ ] may be used as a second partial activation key
(zones B+C); to change the assigned function refer to the paragraph “programming”.
4.11.3 - PROGRAMMING
The transmitter is programmed via the control unit and on the receivers to be asso-
ciated.
Further information on the memorisation procedure can be found in the instructions of
the relative products.
• Programming the transmitter on the control unit:
- Set the control unit to remote control programming mode and perform the preliminary
phases required (see chapter 6.2.4.1);
- When the control panel menu displays the request: on the transmitter, press and hold
the keys and simultaneously for 10 seconds; the control panel then emits a
beep to confirm programming. This programming procedure memorises the key for
total arming , key for disarming and for partial arming.
Key is not memorised and is left free for alarm control (panic or robbery) or to con-
trol receivers.
• Programming the key [ ] on the control panel to send “panic” or “robbery”
alarms:
- Set the control panel to programming mode in the zone “Panic” or “Robbery2 (see
chapter 6.2.4.5) according to the type of alarm to be activated.
- When the control panel menu displays the request: on the transmitter, press and hold
the key for 10 seconds; the control panel then emits a beep to confirm programming.
• Programming the key (or ) to control a receiver:
- Set up the receiver for radio code memorisation (see specific instructions); when
required, press and hold key for 10 seconds.
If required, the factory set function of keys and can be changed.
- To change the function of key from partial arming (zones A+B) to control key:
press and hold keys and for 10 seconds; the led emits 3 short orange flashes to
confirm conversion from the partial activation function to the command key function.
- To change the function of key from command key to partial arming (zones B+C)
press and hold keys and for 10 seconds; the led emits 2 short orange flashes to
confirm conversion from the command key function to the partial arming function. The
functions can be changed in the other direction simply by repeating the operation. On
completion, the led emits 2 short flashes if the key is assigned for partial activation or 3
short flashes if it is assigned as a command key.
The zones partially armed by means of keys (partial A+B) and (partial B+C) are not
modifiable and depend on the fact that these zones are included during memorisation of
the remote control (keys OFF and ON). The keys for partial activation do not require a spe-
cific memorisation procedure as this is performed at the same time as that of keys and
; while keys and need to be memorised specifically if used to control alarms
(panic or robbery) or to control receivers.
4.11.4 - SIGNALS
The transmitter is bidirectional; after sending the activation or deactivation commands,
partial or total (phase in which the orange led is illuminated) it remains on standby for
response by the control unit (phase in which the orange led flashes), after which the
result is displayed as follows:
Green led lit for 2 seconds: OFF, system deactivated
Red led lit for 2 seconds: ON, system activated (total or partial)
Led off: response not received
The command keys do not have a response standby setting; after sending the com-
mand the led turns off immediately.
When the battery charge is low, the transmitter range is reduced significantly. When a
key is pressed, if led L1 illuminates and then immediately fades and turns off, this
means that the battery is completely discharged and must be replaced immediately.
Otherwise if led L1 illuminates briefly and then turns off, this means that the battery is
only partially discharged; in this case press and hold the key for at least half a second
to enable the transmitter to attempt delivery of the command and wait for the response.
In any event, if the battery charge is too low to complete an operation, the led fades and
the transmitter turns off.
When the battery is discharged, the battery must be replaced with the same version to
restore normal transmitter operation.
To replace the battery, refer to the HSTX4 instruction manual.

4.12 - 8-channel radio transmitter (model HSTX8)
4.12.1 - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
HSTX8, is a bidirectional radio transmitter with variable code (rolling-code) and 8 chan-
nels; 4 for alarm systems and 4 for direct control of receivers and automations for doors
and gates. Designed for indoor use. Any other use is to be considered improper and is
strictly prohibited! Nice declines all liability for damage resulting from improper use of
the product and other than as specified in this manual.
4.12.2 - OPERATION
HSTX8 is a radio transmitter with 8 channels divided into two groups of 4 channels; for
the first 4 keys, encoding is compatible with the “Nice Home Security” systems, while
the other 4 keys have “O-Code” encoding, Nice-One compatible, used for the control
of automations of doors, gates and similar products.
For the first 4 keys, the functions and operation are identical to those of the transmitter
HSTX4; for details refer to the relative instructions.
The other 4 keys (1-2-3-4) use a transmission technol-
ogy called “O-Code”, with variable code (rolling-code),
which significantly improves
the command transmission speed and enables a
series of evolved functions typical of the system Nice-
Opera.
For further information on all functions of the system
NiceOpera and operative interdependency of the vari-
ous system devices, refer to the general manual
“NiceOpera System Book”, also available on the web
site www.niceforyou.com
