KNOWLEDGE OF THE PRODUCT AND PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
––– STEP 2 –––
2.1 - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
The series of devices and accessories stated in this manual (some of
which are optional and not present in the kit), make up the automation
system named “ALTO”, designed for a gate or door with one or two swing
leafs. $Q\RWKHUXVHWKDQDVVSHFLƄHGKHUHLQRULQHQYLURQPHQWDO
conditions other than as stated in this manual is to be considered
improper and is strictly prohibited!
The main part of the automation comprises one or two electromechanical
gearmotors (depending on the number of leafs to be automated), each
equipped with a DC motor and epicyclical gear reducer. The geamotors
have an articulated arm, the length of which can be shortened during
HMRS@KK@SHNMVGDMSGDQDHR@jWDCNARS@BKDNUDQSGDFD@QLNSNQV@KKONKD
or other) preventing complete rotation of the arm and therefore maximum
leaf opening.
The ALTO100C is equipped with a control unit that powers and manages
operation of all connected devices. The control unit implements “ECS-
Bus” technology, which enables connection and communication between
multiple devices, using a single bus cable with 2 internal wires. The control
unit incorporates a radio receiver for reception of the commands sent by
the user by means of the ECCO5... transmitter. The system can memorise
up to 256 transmitters (if memorised in “Mode I”) and up to 6 pairs of
PH200 photocells.
The automation can be powered by the mains (230 V) or alternatively by
the SOLEKIT photovoltaic system. If powered by the mains, a backup
battery (mod. PR200, optional accessory) can be installed in the control
unit to enable a number of emergency manoeuvres following a power
failure (black-out). During the power failure, or at any other time, the gate

incorrect gate installation or poor maintenance.
•Ensure that the gate leafs move regularly and smoothly, by performing
the following test: manually move the leafs in both directions and ensure
that movement is free of friction throughout all points of travel (there
must be no points requiring a different level of force).
• Ensure that the gate leafs are perfectly balanced, by performing the
following test: manually move the leafs to any position; take away the
hands and ensure that the leafs remain stationary.

3.2 - CHECKING THE PRODUCT APPLICATION LIMITS
1 - Suitability of the product for gate automation. For this check,
refer to Graph 1 as follows:
a) - measure the width of the gate leaf and determine its weight.
b) - note these two values in Graph 1 and check the point at which
the two values intersect:
• if the point is located within area “A” = the gate can be auto-
mated using standard length arms (supplied as standard) or short
arms (the length of the arm is established during the phase prior to
installation - paragraph 3.4);
• if the point is located within area “B” = the gate can be auto-
mated using standard length arms (supplied as standard);
• if the point is located within area “C” = this product cannot be
used to automate the gate.
2 - Maximum leaf height. The “ALTO” system can automate leafs with
a height of up to 200 cm.
3 - Maximum leaf width. The “ALTO” system can automate leafs with a
width of up to 160 cm (see Graph 1).
 Maximum leaf weight. The maximum weight of the leaf depends
on its length. To calculate the maximum admissible weight with the
“ALTO” system, proceed as follows:
a) - measure the width of the gate leaf and note the value in Graph 1.
Starting from this value, trace a vertical line until it intersects with the
two traced lines.
b)SQ@BD@GNQHYNMS@KKHMDEQNLD@BGONHMSNEHMSDQRDBSHNMTMSHKSGDSVN
maximum admissible weights are shown (depending on the length of
the arm used to install the gearmotor: with standard length arms, the
weight may vary from 110 to 180 kg; with short arms, the weight may
vary from 100 to 150 kg).
5 - Gearmotor overall dimensions. On the basis of the overall dimen-
sions stated in ƄJBGDBJSG@SSGDQDHRRTEjBHDMSRO@BDNMSGDKD@E
and post to enable gearmotor installation. In particular, ensure the
following:
• the width of the post must be greater than 80 mm (ƄJ). Caution!
– any lower widths would prevent installation of the gearmotor.
• the distance between the edge of the post (the side closest to the
GHMFDOHM@MC@MXjWDCNARS@BKDOQDRDMSADGHMCSGDONRSLTRSAD
greater than 120 mm (ƄJ). Caution! – any lower widths would
prevent installation of the gearmotor.
6 - Gearmotor positioning. Never install the gearmotor upside down
(see ƄJ).
7 - Maximum leaf opening angle. If the gearmotor is installed with a
standard length arm (supplied as standard) a leaf opening angle of
110° is possible. Otherwise, if the short arm is used, the leaf opening
angle is reduced to 90°. The length of the arm is established during
the phase prior to installation - see paragraph 3.4.
8 - Mechanical stops. The gearmotors in the “ALTO” system do not
implement mechanical systems to limit leaf travel on closing or open-
ing. Therefore, to enable installation of the “ALTO” system, some

sity of the manoeuvres, i.e. the sum of all factors that contribute to
product wear; these values are shown in Table 1 and we therefore
recommend making an estimate of the automation lifetime after com-
missioning, using the following calculation:
01. In Table 1, locate the values “Leaf length” and “Leaf weight” of
your gate and note the corresponding “Severity index”, taking care to
check the length of the arm on which the gearmotor is installed. In the
RODBHjBBNMSDWSHESGDQD@QDNSGDQE@BSNQRSG@SHMkTDMBDRSQDRRNESGD
manoeuvre, locate the relative values in Table 1 and add them to the
sum obtained beforehand.
Example: • “Leaf length” = 1,5 m; “leaf weight” = 92 kg; “arm length”
= standard; therefore, severity index = 55%.

ple = 85%) and trace a vertical line from this point, until it intersects
the curve in the graph. Then, from the point of intersection, trace

durability of the product.
Example: total severity index = 85%. In Graph 1, this corresponds to
approximately 51,000 manoeuvre cycles (= product durability).

maintenance schedule is strictly observed (see paragraph 10.1). The
estimation of lifetime is made on the basis of design calculations and
the results of tests performed on prototypes. As it is only an estima-
tion, it does not represent any form of guarantee on the effective life-
time of the product.
3.3 - PRELIMINARY CHECKS FOR INSTALLATION
3.3.1 - Ensure all equipment and materials for work are
available
Before starting work, ensure that you have all equipment and materials
required to complete the work. Ensure that all items are in good condition

persons.
3.3.3 - Setting the route of the connection cables
To establish the route of each connection cable and thus dig the race-
ways for the cable ducting, the following constraints must be taken into
account:
a)points envisaged for device installation (read paragraph 3.3.2);
b)the envisaged connection between all devices and terminals
involved (see ƄJ);
c)“ECSBus” technology. This technology enables the connection and
communication between several devices (including the control unit by
means of the BUS terminal) with a single cable containing 2 electrical
wires (carrying the electric power and data communication signals).
This cable can only be used to connect Nice Home devices compatible
with the ECSBus protocol: for example the photocells, safety devices,
control buttons, indicator lights etc. (for information on compatible
devices, refer to the Nice Home catalogue or visit the website www.
niceforyou.com). “ECSBus” technology offers the possibility of using
different layouts for device connections. Some examples are shown in
ƄJ.
After considering points a, b, c, observe ƄJ and on a piece of paper
CQ@V@RHLHK@QK@XNTS@C@OSHMFHSSNSGDRODBHjBMDDCRNEXNTQRXRSDL3GHR
layout will serve as a guideline to dig the raceways for the cable ducting
and to make a complete list of the cables required.
3.3.4 - Selecting and sizing all connection cables
To select the type of cables and cut these to an adequate length, consult
Table 2; then, with the aid of the previously drawn layout (ref. paragraph
3.3.3), make on-site measurements to establish the length of each cable.

INSTALLING AND CONNECTING
OTHER DEVICES
As well as the gearmotor with control unit (ALTO100C) the “ALTO” sys-
tem also comprises other optional devices and accessories which can be
installed at any time on the automation. The devices required to set up a
standard automation are described here in Step 5; the others (back-up
battery PR200 and SOLEKIT photovoltaic power supply) are described in
the chapter “Further details”.
5.1 - CONNECTING THE GEARMOTOR ALTO100M
01. Remove the lower cover of the gearmotor without control unit, as
shown in ƄJ;
02. (for the next phases, refer to ƄJ) Use a screwdriver to loosen the
4 screws of the ducting support and remove (Caution! - take care to
conserve the 2 spacers).
03. Loosen the cable clamp and pass the connection cable under-
neath; connect the 3 electric wires to the terminal board taking care
to observe the symbols on the label; then tighten down the cable
clamp screws.
 Adjusting the gearmotor feet. Before proceeding, adjust the height
of the 2 feet at the rear of the gearmotor. These should touch the sur-
face of the post to increase stability of the gearmotor. These should
touch the surface of the post to increase stability of the gearmotor.
Then use a hex wrench inside the gearmotor, to make adjustments
as shown in phase 7 of ƄJ. Caution! – Never tighten the feet
more than necessary: they just need to touch the surface.

INITIAL START-UP AND
CONNECTION CHECK
6.1 - CONNECTING THE CONTROL UNIT TO THE POWER
MAINS
After installing and connecting all envisaged devices, insert the power
cable plug in a socket. In this phase, if the socket is far from the automa-
tion, an extension lead may be used. IMPORTANT – The cable supplied
is suitable for a provisional connection of the control unit to the mains,
for the purposes of programming and operation tests. When testing and
starting up the automation, the control unit must be connected perma-
nentlySNSGDDKDBSQHB@KL@HMRBQD@SHMF@RODBHjBONVDQKHMDVGHBG@KRN
