RUN is a range of irreversible electromechanical gearmotors used for
the automation of sliding gates. They are equipped with an electron-
ic control unit and an “SM” type connector for radio control receivers
(optional ). Electrical connections to external devices are facilitated
thanks to the use of the “BlueBUS” system, which enables the con-
nection of several devices by means of just 2 wires. The list of
devices compatible for connection to the Run BlueBUS is given in
chapter 7.3.1 "BlueBUS"; an updated list, with relative compatibility
is also available at: www.niceforyou.com. RUN is equipped with a
connector for remote programming units to enable complete and
quick management of installation, maintenance, troubleshooting of
any malfunctions; refer also to 7.8.1 "Remote programming unit".
RUN is electrically powered, in the event of a power failure, the
device can be released by means of the special key, to enable man-
ual movement of the gate.
Other products are also part of the RUN range, the difference of which is described in table 1.

2.1) Operating limits
Chapter 8 “Technical Characteristics” provides the only data needed
to determine whether the products of the RUN line are suitable for
the intended application. The structural characteristics of RUN make
it suitable for use on sliding leaves in conformity with the limits spec-
ified in tables 2, 3 and 4.
The effective suitability of RUN to automate a sliding gate depends
on friction and other factors, even occasional, such as the presence
of ice which could obstruct leaf movement. To ensure suitability, it is
absolutely vital to measure the force necessary to move the leaf
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, the
data specified in tables 2 and 3 should be taken into account to
establish the number of cycles/hour and consecutive cycles.

2.3) List of cables
The typical system shown in figure 2 also states the cables required for connection of the various devices, the specifications of which are
provided in table 5.
The cables used must be suitable for the type of installation; for example, an H03VV-F type cable is recommended for indoor
applications, while H07RN-F is suitable for outdoor applications.
!
Note 1: power supply cable longer than 30 m may be used provided it has a larger gauge, e.g. 3x2,5mm2, and that a safety earthing sys-
tem is provided near the automation unit.
Note 2: If the “BLUEBUS” cable is longer than 30 m, up to 50 m, a 2x1mm2cable is needed.
Note 3: A single 4x0,5mm2cable can be used instead of two 2x0,5mm2cables.
Note 4: Refer to Chapter “7.3.2 STOP Input” in situations where there is more than one edge, for information about the type of connection
recommended by the manufacturer.
Note 5: special devices which enable connection even when the leaf is moving must be used to connect movable edges to sliding leaves;

3.2) Installation of the gearmotor
The gearmotor must be secured directly to an already existing
mounting surface using suitable means, for example expansion
bolts. Otherwise, in order to fasten the gearmotor the installer must:
1. Dig a foundation hole with suitable dimensions referring to Figure 3.
2. Prepare one or more conduits for the electrical cables as shown
in figure 4.
3. Assemble the 4 clamps on the foundation plate setting one nut
underneath and one on top of the plate. The nut underneath the
plate must be tightened as shown in Figure 5 so that the thread-
ed part protrudes above the plate by max. 40 mm.
4. Pour the concrete and, before it starts to harden, set the founda-
tion plate to the values shown in Figure 3. Check that it is paral-
lel to the leaf and perfectly level (Figure 6). Wait for the concrete
to harden completely.
5. Remove the 4 upper nuts on the plate and then position the gear-
motor. Check that it is perfectly parallel to the leaf, then refit and
tighten the four nuts and washers supplied, as shown in Figure 7.
The installation of RUN must be carried out by qualified personnel in compliance with current legislation, standards and
regulations, and the directions provided in this manual.
!
3) Installation
3.1) Preliminary checks
Before proceeding with the installation of RUN:
• Check that all the materials are in excellent condition, suitable for
use and compliant with current standards.
• Ensure that the structure of the gate is suitable for automation.
• Ensure that the weight and dimensions of the leaf fall within the
specified operating limits provided in chapter “2.1 Operating limits”.
• Check that the force required to start the movement of the leaf is
less than half the “maximum torque”, and that the force required to
keep the leaf in movement is less than half the “nominal torque”.
Compare the resulting values with those specified in Chapter “8
Technical Characteristics”. The manufacturers recommend a 50%
margin on the force, as unfavourable climatic conditions may
cause an increase in the friction.
• Ensure that there are no points of greater friction in the opening or
closing travel of the gate leaves.
• Ensure there is no danger of the gate derailing.
• Ensure that the mechanical stops are sufficiently sturdy and that
there is no risk of deformation even when the leaf hits the mechan-
ical stop violently.
• Ensure that the gate is well balanced: it must not move by itself
when it is placed in any position.
• Ensure that the area where the gearmotor is fixed is not subject to
flooding. If necessary, mount the gearmotor raised from the
ground.
• Ensure that the installation area enables the release of the gear-
motor and that it is safe and easy to release it.
• Ensure that the mounting positions of the various devices are pro-
tected from impact 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 potentially explosive atmosphere; this could damage RUN
and cause malfunctions or hazardous situations.
• If there is an access door in the leaf, or within the range of move-
ment of the gate, make sure that it does not obstruct normal trav-
el. Mount a suitable interlock system if necessary.
• Only connect the control unit to a power supply line equipped with
a safety grounding system.
• The power supply line must be protected by suitable magneto-
thermal and differential switches.
• A disconnection device must be inserted in the power supply line
from the electrical mains (the distance between the contacts must
be at least 3.5 mm with an overvoltage category of III) or equiva-
lent system, for example an outlet and relative plug. If the discon-
nection device for the power supply is not mounted near the
automation, it must have a locking system to prevent unintention-
al, unauthorised connection.

3.3) Fixing of the limit switch bracket on versions with inductive limit switch
8. Slide the leaf, using the pinion as a reference point for the securing
the other elements of the rack.
9. Cut away the excess section of the rack.
10. Open and close the gate several times and make sure that the rack
is aligned with the pinion with a maximum tolerance of 5 mm. More-
over, check that the play of 1÷2 mm has been respected along the
entire length between the pinion and the rack.
11. Thoroughly tighten the two fixing nuts of the gearmotor making
sure it is well secured to the ground. Cover the fixing nuts with the
relative caps as shown in figure 10.
12. Fix the limit switch bracket as described below (for versions
RUN1800P and RUN2500P, fix the bracket as described in para-
graph “3.3 Fixing of the limit switch bracket on versions with induc-
tive limit switch”):
• Manually place the leaf in the open position leaving at least 2-3
cm from the mechanical stop.
• Slide the bracket along the rack in the opening direction until the
limit switch cuts-in. Then bring the bracket forward by at least 2
cm and secure it to the rack with the appropriate stud bolts, as
shown in fig. 11.
• Perform the same operation for the closure limit switch.
13. Secure the gearmotor as described in the paragraph “Release and
manual movement” in the Chapter “Instructions and Warnings for
Users”.

6. Release the gearmotor as shown in “Release and manual move-
ment” paragraph in the Chapter “Instructions and Warnings for
users of the RUN gearmotor”.
7. Open the leaf up completely and place the first piece of the rack
on the pinion. Check that the beginning of the rack corresponds
to the beginning of the leaf, as shown in Figure 8. Leave 1÷2 mm
play between the rack and the pinion, then fasten the rack to the
leaf using suitable means.
In order to prevent the weight of the leaf from affecting
the gearmotor, it is important that there is a play of 1÷2
mm between the rack and the pinion as shown in Figure 9.
!

The limit switch bracket must be fixed as described below for the
RB600P and RB1000P versions that utilise the inductive limit switch.
1. Manually place the leaf in the open position leaving at least 2-3
cm from the mechanical stop.
2. Slide the bracket along the rack in the opening direction until the
corresponding LED switches off, as in fig. 12. Then bring the
bracket forward by at least 2 cm and secure it to the rack with the
appropriate stud bolts.
3. Manually place the leaf in the closed position leaving at least 2-3
cm from the mechanical stop.
4. Slide the bracket along the rack in the closing direction until the
corresponding LED switches off. Then bring the bracket forward
by at least 2 cm and secure it to the rack with the appropriate
stud bolts.

3.5) Electrical connections
Only carry out electrical connections once the electric-
ity supply to the system has been switched off.
1. Remove the protection cover in order to access the electronic
control unit of the RUN. The side screw must be removed, and
the cover lifted upwards.
2. Remove the rubber membrane sealing off the two holes for routing
the cables; insert the power cable in the smaller hole and all other
cables for the various devices in the larger hole, leaving a length of
20÷30 cm longer than necessary. See Table 5 for information
regarding the type of cables and Figure 2 for the connections.
3. Use a clamp to collect together and join the cables routed through
the larger hole and place the clamp under the cable entry hole.
Make a hole in the rubber membrane which is slightly smaller than
the diameter of the cables joined by the clamp, and slide the
membrane along the cables until it reaches the clamp. Then put
the membrane back in its seat. Place a second clamp for collect-
ing the cables which are set just above the membrane.
4. On the smaller membrane, cut a hole slightly smaller than the
diameter of the power cable and slide the membrane along the
cable until it fits into its seat.
5. Connect the power cable to the relative terminal as shown in fig-
ure 14, and secure the cable by means of the collar.
6. Connect up the other cables according to the diagram in Figure 16.
The terminals can be removed in order to facilitate this procedure.
7. Once the connections have been completed, secure the cables
joined in the clamps to the cable locking rings. The excess aerial
cable must be secured to the other cables using another clamp as
shown in Figure 15.

nected (24V max. 4W). It can also be programmed for other func-
tions; see paragraph “7.2.3 Level two functions”.
BLUEBUS: compatible devices can be connected up to this termi-
nal. They are connected in parallel using two conductors only,
through which both the electricity supply and the communication
signals travel. For more useful information about BlueBUS see also
Paragraph “7.3.1 BlueBUS”.
STOP: input for the devices which block or eventually stop the
manoeuvre in progress. Contacts like “Normally Closed”, “Normally
Open” or constant resistance devices can be connected up using
special procedures on the input. For more useful information about
STOP see also Paragraph “7.3.2 STOP Input”.
STEP-BY-STEP: input for devices which control Step-by-Step
movement. It is possible to connect “Normally Open” devices up to
this input.
OPEN: input for devices which control only the opening move-
ment. It is possible to connect “Normally Open” devices up to this
input.
CLOSE: input for devices which control only the closing move-
ment. It is possible to connect “Normally Open” devices up to this
input.
AERIAL:connection input for the radio receiver aerial (the aerial is
incorporated in LUCY B).
The manufacturers recommend you position the leaf at approximately half travel before starting the checking and start up phase of the
automation. This will ensure the leaf is free to move both during opening and closure.
4) Final checks and start up
4.1) Choosing the direction
The direction of the opening manoeuvre must be chosen depending
on the position of the gearmotor with respect to the leaf. If the leaf
must move left for opening, the selector must be moved towards left
as shown in Figure 18; alternatively, if the leaf has to move right dur-
ing opening, the selector must be moved towards the right as shown
in Figure 19

4.2) Power supply connection
The connection of ROBUS to the mains must be made
by qualified and experienced personnel in possession of
the necessary requisites and in full respect of the laws,
provisions and standards currently in force.
As soon as ROBUS is energized, you should check the following:
1. Make sure that the “BLUEBUS” LED flashes regularly, with about
one flash per second.
2. Make sure that the LED’s on the photocells flash (both on TX and
RX); the type of flashing is not important as it depends on other
factors.
3. Make sure that the flashing light connected to the FLASH output
and the lamp LED connected to the “Open Gate Indicator” out-
put are off.
If the above conditions are not satisfied, you should immediately
switch off the power supply to the control unit and check the electri-
cal connections more carefully.
Please refer to Chapter “7.6 Troubleshooting” for further information
about finding and analysing failures.
!
4.3) Recognition of the devices
After connecting up the power supply, the control unit must be made to recognise the devices connected up to the BLUEBUS and STOP
inputs. Before this phase, LEDs L1 and L2 will flash to indicate that recognition of the devices must be carried out.
The connected devices recognition stage can be repeated at any time, even after the installation (for example, if a device is installed); for per-
forming the new recognition see paragraph “7.3.6 Recognition of Other Devices”.
1. Press keys [▲]and [Set] and hold them down
2. Release the keys when L1 and L2 LED’s start flashing very quickly (after approx. 3 s)
3. Wait a few seconds for the control unit to finish recognizing the devices
4. When the recognition stage is completed the STOP LED must remain on while the
L1 and L2 LED’s must go off (LEDs L3 and L4 will eventually start flashing).
20

GB
4.4) Recognizing the length of the leaf
After recognizing the devices, L3 and L4 LED’s start flashing; the control unit must recognize the length of the gate. During this stage, the
length of the leaf is measured from the closing limit switch to the opening limit switch. This measurement is required to calculate the decel-
eration points and the partial opening point.
If the above conditions are not satisfied, you should immediately switch off the power supply to the control unit and check the electrical con-
nections more carefully. For more useful information see also chapter “7.6 Troubleshooting”.
1. Press keys [▼]and [Set] and hold them down
2. Release the keys when the manoeuvre starts (after approx. 3 s)
3. Check the manoeuvre in progress is an opening manoeuvre. Otherwise, press the [Stop] key and
carefully check Paragraph “4.1 Choosing the Direction”, then repeat the process from Point 1.
4. Wait for the control unit to open the gate until it reaches the opening limit switch; the closing manoeuvre will
start immediately afterwards.
5. Wait for the control unit to close the gate.
4.5) Checking gate movements
On completion of the recognition of the length of the leaf, it is advis-
able to carry out a number of manoeuvres in order to check the gate
travels properly.
1. Press the [Open] key to open the gate. Check that gate opening
occurs regularly, without any variations in speed. The leaf must
only slowdown and stop when it is between 70 and 50 cm from
the opening mechanical stop. Then, at 2÷3 cm from the mechan-
ical opening stop the limit switch will trigger.
2. Press the [Close] key to close the gate. Check that gate closing
occurs regularly, without any variations in speed. The leaf must
only slowdown and stop when it is between 70 and 50 cm from
the closing mechanical stop. Then, at 2÷3 cm from the mechani-
cal closing stop the limit switch will trigger.
3. During the manoeuvre, check that the flashing light flashes at a
speed of 0.5 seconds on and 0.5 seconds off. If present, also
check the flashes of the light connected to the S.C.A. terminal:
slow flashes during opening, quick flashes during closing.
4.Open and close the gate several times to make sure that there are
no points of excessive friction and that there are no defects in the
assembly or adjustments.
5. Check that the fastening of the ROBUS gearmotor, the rack and
the limit switch brackets are solid, stable and suitably resistant,
even if the gate accelerates or decelerates sharply.
4.6) Preset functions
The ROBUS control unit has a number of programmable functions.
These functions are set to a configuration which should satisfy most
automations. However, the functions can be altered at any time by
means of a special programming procedure.
Please refer to paragraph “7.2 Programming” for further information
about this.
21
4.7) Radio receiver
The “SM” radio receiver connector for SMXI or SMXIS type optional radio receivers has been provided in order to enable the user to control
ROBUS from a distance. For further information consult the radio receiver instructions manual. The association between the radio receiver
output and the command performed by ROBUS is described in table 6:
22
Output N°1 STEP-BY-STEP command
Output N°2 “Partial opening” command
Output N°3 “Open” command
Output N°4 “Close” command
Table 6: commands with transmitter
This is the most important stage in the automation system installa-
tion procedure in order to ensure the maximum safety levels. Testing
can also be adopted as a method of periodically checking that all the
various devices in the system are functioning correctly.
Testing of the entire system must be performed by
qualified and experienced personnel who must establish
which tests to conduct on the basis of the risks involved,
and verify the compliance of the system with applicable
regulations, legislation and standards, in particular with
all the provisions of EN standard 12445 which establishes
the test methods for automation systems for gates.
!
5) Testing and commissioning

12
5.1) Testing
Each component of the system, e.g. safety edges, photocells, emer-
gency stop, etc. requires a specific testing phase. We therefore rec-
ommend observing the procedures shown in the relative instruction
manuals. To test ROBUS proceed as follows:
1. Ensure that the instructions outlined in this manual and in partic-
ular in chapter 1 "WARNINGS" have been observed in full;
2. Release the gearmotor as shown in “Release and manual move-
ment” paragraph in chapter “Instructions and Warnings for users
of the ROBUS gearmotor”
3. Make sure you can move the door manually both during opening
and closing with a force of max. 390N (40 kg approx.).
4. Lock the gearmotor.
5. Using the control or stop devices (key-operated selector switch,
control buttons or radio transmitter) test the opening, closing and
stopping of the gate and make sure that the leaves move in the
intended direction.
6. Check the proper operation of all the safety devices, one by one
(photocells, sensitive edges, emergency stop, etc.) and check
that the gate performs as it should. In particular, each time a
device is activated the “BlueBUS” LED on the control unit flashes
2 times quickly, confirming that the control unit recognizes the
event.
7. If the dangerous situations caused by the movement of the leaf
have been safeguarded by limiting the force of impact, the user
must measure the impact force according to EN Standard 12445.
If the adjustment of the “speed” and control of the “motor force”
are used to assist the system for the reduction of the impact
force, try to find the adjustment that gives the best results.
5.2) Commissioning
Commissioning can take place only after all the testing phases of the
ROBUS and the other devices have been terminated successfully. It
is not permissible to execute partial commissioning or to enable use
of the system in makeshift conditions.
1. Prepare and store for at least 10 years the technical documentation
for the automation, which must include at least: assembly drawing
of the automation, wiring diagram, analysis of hazards and solutions
adopted, manufacturer’s declaration of conformity of all the devices
installed (for ROBUS use the annexed CE declaration of conformi-
ty); copy of the instruction manual and maintenance schedule of the
automation.
2. Post a label on the gate providing at least the following data: type
of automation, name and address of manufacturer (person
responsible for the “commissioning”), serial number, year of man-
ufacture and “CE” marking.
3. Post a permanent label or sign near the gate detailing the opera-
tions for the release and manual manoeuvre.
4. Prepare the declaration of conformity of the automation system
and deliver it to the owner.
5. Prepare the “Instructions and warnings for the use of the automa-
tion system” and deliver it to the owner.
6. Prepare the maintenance schedule of the automation system and
deliver it to the owner; it must provide all directions regarding the
maintenance of the single automation devices.
7. Before commissioning the automation system inform the owner in
writing regarding dangers and hazards that are still existing (e.g.
in the “Instructions and warnings for the use of the automation
system”).
This charter provides information about how to draw up a maintenance schedule, and the disposal of ROBUS
6) Maintenance and Disposal
6.1) Maintenance
The automation must be subjected to maintenance work on a regu-
lar basis, in order to guarantee it lasts; to this end ROBUS has a
manoeuvre counter and maintenance warning system; see para-
graph “7.4.3 Maintenance warning”
The maintenance operations must be performed in
strict compliance with the safety directions provided in
this manual and according to the applicable legislation
and standards.
If other devices are present, follow the directions provided in the cor-
responding maintenance schedule.
1. ROBUS requires scheduled maintenance work every 6 months or
20,000 manoeuvres (max.) after previous maintenance:
2. Disconnect the power supply (and buffer batteries, if featured)
3. Check for any deterioration of the components which form the
automation, paying particular attention to erosion or oxidation of
the structural parts. Replace any parts which are below the
required standard.
4. Check the wear and tear on the moving parts: pinion, rack and
the leaf components; if necessary replace them.
5. Connect the electric power sources up again, and carry out the
testing and checks provided for in Paragraph “5.1 Testing”.
!
6.2) Disposal
ROBUS is constructed of various types of materials, some of which
can be recycled: steel, aluminium, plastic, electric cables; while oth-
ers must be disposed of (batteries and electronic boards).
Some electronic components and the batteries may
contain polluting substances; do not pollute the environ-
ment. Enquire about the recycling or disposal systems
available in compliance regulations locally in force.
1. Disconnect the power supply of the automation system (and the buffer
battery, if featured).
2. Disassemble all the devices and accessories, following in reverse order
the procedures described in chapter 3 “Installation”.
3. Wherever possible, separate any parts which can or must be recycled
or disposed of in different ways, e.g. metal parts must be disposed of
separately from plastic ones, as must the electronic cards, batteries etc.
4. Sort the various materials and consign them to local licensed firms for
recovery and disposal.

Programming, personalisation and how to look for and deal with faults on the ROBUS will be dealt with in this chapter.
7) Additional information
Open The “OPEN” key enables the user to control the opening
▲of the gate or move the programming point upwards.
Stop The “STOP” key enables the user to stop the manoeuvre. If pressed down
Set for more than 5 seconds it enables the user to enter programming.
Close The “CLOSE” key enables the user to control the closing of the gate or
▼move the programming point downwards.
7.1) Programming keys
The ROBUS control unit feature three keys that can be used to com-
mand the control unit both during tests and programming.
23
7.2) Programming
A number of programmable functions are available on the ROBUS
control unit. The functions are adjusted using 3 keys set on the con-
trol unit: [▲] [Set] [▼]and are used by means of 8 LEDs: L1….L8.
The programmable functions available on ROBUS are set out on 2
levels:
Level one: the functions can be adjusted in modes ON-OFF (active
or inactive). In this case, each of the LEDs L1….L8 indicates a func-
tion. If the LED is on, the function is active, if off the function is inac-
tive. See Table 7.
Level two: the parameters can be adjusted on a scale of values
(from 1 to 8). In this case, each of the LEDs L1…L8 indicates the
value set (there are 8 possible settings). Please refer to Table 9.
Led Function Description
L1 Automatic Closing This function causes the door to close automatically after the programmed time has lapsed. The factory
set Pause Time is 30 seconds, but can be changed to 5, 15, 30, 45, 60, 80, 120 or 180 seconds. If the
function is inactive, functioning will be “semi-automatic”.
L2 Close After Photo This function enables the gate to be kept open for the necessary transit time only. In fact the “Photo”
always causes an automatic closure with a pause time of 5s (regardless of the programmed value).
The action changes depending on whether the “Automatic closing” function is active or not.
When “Automatic Closing” is inactive: The gate always arrives to the totally open position (even if
the Photo disengages first). Automatic closing with a pause of 5s occurs when the Photo is disengaged.
When “Automatic Closing” is active: The opening manoeuvre stops immediately after the
photocells have disengaged. After 5 seconds, the gate will begin to close automatically.
The “Close after photo” function is always disabled in manoeuvres interrupted by a Stop command.
If the “Close after photo” function is inactive the pause time is that which has been programmed or there
is no automatic closing if the function is inactive.
L3 Always Close The “Always Close” function will trigger, and the gate will close if an open gate is detected when the
power supply returns. If the function is inactive when the power supply returns, the gate will remain still.
L4 Stand-By Stand-By This function enables the user to lower consumption to a very minimum. It is particularly
useful in cases when the buffer battery is being used. If this function is active, the control unit will switch
the BLUEBUS output (and consequently the devices) and all the LEDs off one minute after the end of the
manoeuvre. The only LED which will remain on is the BLUEBUS LED which will simply flash more slowly.
When a command arrives, the control unit will reset to complete functioning. If this function is inactive,
there will be no reduction in the consumption.
L5 Peak If this function is activated, the gradual acceleration at the beginning of each manoeuvre will be disconnected.
It enables the peak thrust and is useful whenever static friction is high, e.g. if snow or ice are blocking the
leaf.If the thrust is inactive, the manoeuvre will start with a gradual acceleration.
L6 Pre-flashing With the pre-flashing function, a 3 second pause is added between the flashing light switching on and
the beginning of the manoeuvre in order to warn the user, in advance, of a potentially dangerous
situation. If pre-flashing is inactive, the flashing light will switch on when the manoeuvre starts.
L7 “Close” becomes By activating this function all “close” commands (“CLOSE” input or radio command “close”)
“Open partially” activate a partial opening manoeuvre (see LED L6 on table 9).
L8 “Slave” mode By activating this function ROBUS becomes “Slave”: in this way it is possible to synchronise the
functioning of two motors on opposite leaves where one motor functions as Master and the other as
Slave; for further information see paragraph “7.3.5 ROBUS in “Slave” mode”.
During the normal functioning of the ROBUS, LEDs L1….L8 will either be on or off depending on the state of the function they represent.
For example, L1will be on if the “Automatic Closing” function is active.

All the parameters can be adjusted as required without any contraindication; only the adjustment of the “motor force” could require special
care:
• Do not use high force values to compensate for points of abnormal friction on the leaf. Excessive force can compromise the operation of
the safety system or damage the leaf.
• If the “motor force” control is used to assist the impact force reduction system, measure the force again after each adjustment in compli-
ance with EN standard 12445.
• Wear and weather conditions may affect the movement of the gate, therefore periodic force re-adjustments may be necessary.

7.3) Adding or removing devices
Devices can be added to or removed from the ROBUS automation
system at any time. In particular, various devices types can be con-
nected to “BlueBUS” and “STOP” input as explained in the following
paragraphs.
After you have added or removed any devices, the
automation system must go through the recognition
process again according to the directions contained in
paragraph 7.3.6 “Recognition of other devices”.
7.3.1) BlueBUS
BlueBUS technology allows you to connect compatible devices
using only two wires which carry both the power supply and the
communication signals. All the devices are connected in parallel on
the 2 wires of the BlueBUS itself. It is not necessary to observe any
polarity; each device is individually recognized because a univocal
address is assigned to it during the installation. Photocells, safety
devices, control keys, signalling lights etc. can be connected to
BlueBUS. The ROBUS control unit recognizes all the connected
devices individually through a suitable recognition process, and can
detect all the possible abnormalities with absolute precision. For this
reason, each time a device connected to BlueBUS is added or
removed the control unit must go through the recognition process;
see paragraph 7.3.6 “Recognition of Other Devices”.
7.2.5) Level one programming example (ON-OFF functions).
The sequence to follow in order to change the factory settings of the functions for activating “Automatic Closing” (L1) and “Always close” (L3)
have been included as examples.
1. Press the key [Set] and hold it down (approx. 3 s)

3. Press the [Set] key once to change the state of the function associated with L1
Automatic Closing). LED L1 will now flash with long flashes. L1
4. Press the [▼]key twice to move the flashing LED to LED L3
L3
5. Press the [Set] key once to change the state of the function associated with L3
(Always Close). LED L3 will now flash with long flashes. L3
6. Wait 10 seconds before leaving the programme to allow the maximum time to lapse.
10s
Once these operations have been completed, LEDs L1 and L3 must remain on to indicate that the “Automatic Closing” and the “Always
Close” functions are active.

GB
7.3.2) STOP input
STOP is the input that causes the immediate interruption of the
manoeuvre (with a short reverse run). Devices with output featuring
normally open “NO” contacts and devices with normally closed “NC”
contacts, as well as devices with 8,2KΩ, constant resistance output,
like sensitive edges, can be connected to this input.
During the recognition stage the control unit, like BlueBUS, recog-
nizes the type of device connected to the STOP input (see para-
graph 7.3.6 “Recognition of Other Devices”); subsequently it com-
mands a STOP whenever a change occurs in the recognized status.
Multiple devices, even of different type, can be connected to the
STOP input if suitable arrangements are made.
• Any number of NO devices can be connected to each other in
parallel.
• Any number of NC devices can be connected to each other in
series.
• Two devices with 8,2KΩconstant resistance output can be con-
nected in parallel; if needed, multiple devices must be connected
“in cascade” with a single 8,2KΩ.
• It is possible to combine Normally Open and Normally Closed by
making 2 contacts in parallel with the warning to place an 8,2KΩ
resistance in series with the Normally Closed contact (this also
makes it possible to combine 3 devices: Normally Open, Normal-
ly Closed and 8,2KΩ).
If the STOP input is used to connect devices with safe-
ty functions, only the devices with 8,2KΩconstant resis-
tance output guarantee the fail-safe category 3 according
to EN standard 954-1.

the position of the photocell elements (TX-RX) must comply with the
provisions contained in the photocell instruction manual.
!
7.3.3) Photocells
By means of addressing using special jumpers, the “BlueBUS” sys-
tem enables the user to make the control unit recognise the photo-
cells and assign them with a correct detection function. The
addressing operation must be done both on TX and RX (setting the
jumpers in the same way) making sure there are no other couples of
photocells with the same address.
In an automation for sliding gates, with ROBUS it is possible to install
the photocells as shown in Figure 24.
Each time a photocell is added or removed the control unit must go
through the recognition process; see paragraph 7.3.6 “Recognition
of Other Devices”.
7.3.4) FT210B Photo-sensor
The FT210B photo-sensor unites in a single device a force limiting
device (type C in accordance with the EN1245 standard) and a pres-
ence detector which detects the presence of obstacles on an opti-
cal axis between the TX transmitter and the RX receiver (type D in
accordance with the EN12453 standard). The sensitive edge status
signals on the FT210 photo-sensor are transmitted by means of the
photocell beam, integrating the two systems in a single device. The
transmitting part is positioned on the mobile leaf and is powered by
a battery thereby eliminating unsightly connection systems; the con-
sumption of the battery is reduced by special circuits guaranteeing a
duration of up to 15 years (see the estimation details in the product
instructions).
By combining a FT210B device to a sensitive edge (TCB65 for
example) the level of security of the “main edge”, required by the
EN12453 standard for all “types of use” and “types of activation”,
can be attained. The FT210B is safe against individual faults when
combined to a “resistive” type (8,2Kohm) sensitive edge. It features
a special anticollision circuit that prevents interference with other
detectors, even if not synchronised, and allows additional photocells
to be fitted; for example, in cases where there is a passage of heavy
vehicles and a second photocell is normally placed at 1 m from the
ground.
See the FT210B instructions manual for further information concern-
ing connection and addressing methods.

7.3.5) ROBUS in “Slave” mode
Properly programming and connecting, ROBUS can function in
“Slave” mode; this type of function is used when 2 opposite gates
need to be automated with the synchronised movement of the two
leaves. In this mode ROBUS works as Master commanding the
movement, while the second ROBUS acts as Slave, following the
commands transmitted by the Master (all ROBUS are Masters when
leaving the factory).
To configure ROBUS as a Slave the level one “Slave mode” must be
activated (see table 7).
The connection between ROBUS Master and ROBUS Slave is made
via BlueBus.
In this case the polarity of the connections between
the two ROBUS must be respected as illustrated in fig. 26
(the other devices remain with no polarity).
Follow the operations below to install 2 ROBUS in the Master and
Slave mode:
• Install the 2 motors as indicated in fig. 25. It is not important which
motor is to function as Slave or Master; when choosing, one must
consider the convenience of the connections and the fact that the
Step-by-Step command of the Slave only allows the Slave leaf to
be opened fully.
• Connect the 2 motors as shown in fig. 26.
• Select the opening direction of the 2 motors as shown in fig. 25
(see also paragraph “4.1 Choosing the direction”).
• Supply power to the 2 motors.
• Program the “Slave mode” on the ROBUS Slave (see table 7).
• Perform the device recognition on the ROBUS Slave (see para-
graph “4.3 Recognition of the devices”).
• Perform the device recognition on the ROBUS Master (see para-
graph “4.3 Recognition of the devices”).
• Perform the recognition of the leaf length on the ROBUS Master
(see paragraph “4.4 Recognition length of the leaf”).

When connecting 2 ROBUS in the Master-Slave mode, pay attention that:
• All devices must be connected to the ROBUS Master (as in fig. 26) including the radio receiver.
• When using buffer batteries, each motor must have its own battery.
• All programming performed on ROBUS Slave are ignored (those on ROBUS Master override the others) except for those mentioned in table 14.

7.4.1) “Always open” Function
The “Always open” function is a control unit feature which enables the
user to control an opening manoeuvre when the “Step-by-Step” com-
mand lasts longer than 2 seconds. This is useful for connecting a timer
contact to the “Step-by-Step” terminal in order to keep the gate open for
a certain length of time, for example. This feature is valid with any kind of
“Step-by-Step” input programming, except for “Close”. Please refer to
the “Step-by-Step Function” parameter in Table 9.
7.4.2) Move anyway” function
In the event that one of the safety devices is not functioning proper-
ly or is out of use, it is still possible to command and move the gate
in “Man present” mode.
Please refer to the Paragraph “Control with safety devices out of
order” in the enclosure “Instructions and Warnings for users of the
ROBUS gearmotor” for further information.
7.4.3) Maintenance warning
With ROBUS the user is warned when the automation requires a mainte-
nance control. The number of manoeuvres after the warning can be select-
ed from 8 levels, by means of the “Maintenance warning” adjustable para-
meter (see table 9).
Adjustment level 1 is “automatic” and takes into consideration the severity
of the manoeuvre, this being the force and duration of the manoeuvre, while
the other adjustments are established based on the number of manoeuvres.
The maintenance request signal is given by means of the flashing light
(Flash) or by the light connected to the S.C.A. output when pro-
grammed as a “Maintenance light” (see table 9). The flashing light
“Flash” and the maintenance light give the signals indicated in table
16, based on the number of manoeuvres performed in respect to the
limits that have been programmed.

•A sensitive edge (Stop)
•A command device (Step by Step) that controls the complete opening of the Slave leaf only.
•The Open and Close inputs are not used on the Slave
7.3.6) Recognition of Other Devices
Normally the recognition of the devices connected to the BlueBUS and the STOP input takes place during the installation stage. However, if new
devices are added or old ones removed, the recognition process can be gone through again by proceeding as shown in Figure 15.
1. Press keys [▲] and [Set] and hold them down
2. Release the keys when L1 and L2 LED’s start flashing very quickly (after approx. 3 s)
L1 L2
3. Wait a few seconds for the control unit to finish recognizing the devices
4. When the recognition stage is completed L1 and L2 LED’s will go off, the STOP LED must remain on,
while L1…L8 LED’s will light up according to the status of the relative ON-OFF functions L1 L2
After you have added or removed any devices, the automation system must be tested again according to the directions
contained in paragraph 5.1 “Testing”.

The table 19 contains instructions to help you solve malfunctions or
errors that may occur during the installation stage or in case of fail-
ure.

Tabella 19: Troubleshooting
Symptoms Recommended checks
The radio transmitter does not control the gate
and the LED on the transmitter does not light up
The radio transmitter does not control the gate
but the LED on the transmitter lights up
No manoeuvre starts and the “BlueBUS” LED
does not flash
No manoeuvre starts and the flashing light is off
No manoeuvre starts and the flashing light flash-
es a few times
The manoeuvre starts but it is immediately fol-
lowed by a reverse run
The manoeuvre is carried out but the flashing
light does not work
The manoeuvre is carried out but the Open
Gate Indicator does not work
Check to see if the transmitter batteries are exhausted, if necessary replace them
Check to see if the transmitter has been memorised correctly in the radio receiver
Check that ROBUS is powered by a 230V mains supply.
Check to see if the fuses are blown; if necessary, identify the reason for the failure and
then replace the fuses with others having the same current rating and characteristics.
Make sure that the command is actually received. If the command reaches the STEP-
BY-STEP input, the corresponding “STEP-BY-STEP” LED must light up; if you are
using the radio transmitter, the “BlueBus” LED must make two quick flashes.
Count the flashes and check the corresponding value in table 21
The selected force could be too low for this type of gate. Check to see whether there
are any obstacles; if necessary increase the force
Make sure that there is voltage on the flashing light’s FLASH terminal during the
manoeuvre (being intermittent, the voltage value is not important: approximately 10-
30Vdc); if there is voltage, the problem is due to the lamp; in this case replace the
lamp with one having the same characteristics; if there is no voltage, there may have
been an overload on the FLASH output. Check that the cable has not short-circuited.
Check the type of function programmed for the S.C.A. output (Table 9)
When the light should be on, check there is voltage on the S.C.A. terminal (approximately
24Vdc). If there is voltage, then the problem will have been caused by the light, which will have
to be replaced with one with the same characteristics. If there is no voltage, there may have
been an overload on the S.C.A. output. Check that the cable has not short-circuited.
