ries mentioned in this manual are optional and may not be pre-
sent in the kit. For a complete overview, see the Mhouse product
catalogue or visit www.niceforyou.com.
•Thismanualisdesignedasastep-by-step guide. Therefore, for
the safety and ease of assembly and programming work, we
advice you to carry out all the operations described in the same
order in which they are presented.
––– STEP 2 –––
2.1 - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
Thedevicesinthiskit,plusotheraccessories(someoptionalandsome
notincluded),togetherformtheautomationsystemcalled“SL1W-
SL10W”,designedforautomationofaslidinggateforresidentialuse.
All uses other than the intended use described and use in envi-
ronmental conditions other than those described in this manual
shouldbeconsideredimproperandforbidden!
The main component is an electromechanical gearmotor, with a sprocket
whichdrivestherackmountedtotheslidinggateitself. A command con-
trol unit is integrated inside the gearmotor, which manages operation of
the automation as a whole.Thecommandcontrolunitismadeupofan
electronic board and an integrated radio receiver, to receive commands
sentbytheuserviathetransmitter.Itcanstoreupto256GTX4transmit-
ters,andupto20wirelessdevices.
TheinnovativeMhousePower&FreeSystemallowsthecontrolunitto
directthePH100WphotocellsandtheFL100Washingindicator,without
wiredconnections.Howeveritispossibletoconnectotherdevices,using
a single cable with two electrical conductors, on the inputs assigned to
opening(Open)andstopping(Stop).Thecontrolunitcanbepoweredby
xedmainspower(230V)or,alternatively,bytheMhousePFsolarpower
system.
Ifpoweredoffthemains,itcanbeequippedwithabackupbattery(mod.
PR1,optionalaccessory)whichensuresthattheautomationcanexecute
a certain number of manoeuvres, during the hours following a loss of
power(electricalblack-out).Itishoweveralwayspossibletomovethe
gatemanually,byrstreleasingthegearmotorusingtheappropriatekey
(seechapter11.3-Usageguide).

3.2.1 - Calculation of maximum number of cycles per day for
devices PH100W and FL100W
ThePH100WandFL100Wdevicesincludeasolarcell,theenergypro-
ducedbywhichiscollectedbyarechargeablebattery;forthisreason,
theymustbeinstalledoutdoors,wherethecellcanreceivedirectsunlight
formostoftheday.
Withasimplecalculation,itispossibletoestimatethemaximumnumber
ofcyclesperday,inagivenperiodoftheyear,whichtheautomationis
capableofcompleting.Thisistoensurethattheenergyproducedfrom
thecellandstoredinthebattery,remainshigherthanthatconsumedby
themanoeuvresofthegate.
Thecalculationstartswithestablishingthe“coefcientbase”inrelationto
orientationofthedeviceordirectioninwhichthesolarcellisfacing;and
onthebasisoftheworldhemisphereinwhichtheinstallationislocated.
01. ChoosethecoefcientbaseinTable 1.
Theavailablesolarenergy(badweatherdaysmustalsobeincludedinthis
value)islinkedtothegeographicalpositionofthelocationandwillvary
throughouttheyear.
02. In g.3, locate the earth parallel in relation to the geographical posi-
tion.
03. In table 2 choose the multiplier, based on the desired period of the
year(orusetheminimumvalueortheaveragevalue)andtheearth
parallel(geographicallocationoftheplace).

English
Thepotentialnumberofcyclesdependsonthetimeduringwhichthe
automationisinmotionandtheaccessoriesareoperating.Whenthe
automationisstopped,theaccessoriesareinstandbymodeandtheir
consumptionisnegligible.Thephotocellsareinoperationalsoduringthe
automaticclosurepause;thereforethetotalcycletimemustbeconsid-
ered.
04. Multiplythe2valuesintables 1 and 2;then,basedontheresultof
themultiplication(thatis,theamountofavailableenergy)andthe

3.3 - PRODUCT DURABILITY
Durabilityistheaverageeconomiclifespanoftheproduct.Thevalueof
thelifespanisstronglyinuencedbytheintensityofthemanoeuvres,i.e.
thesumofallfactorsthatcontributetoproductwear,seeTable1.Toesti-
matethelifespanofyourautomateddevice,proceedasfollows:
01. Add up all the values of the entries in Table 5;
02. In Graph 1, from the value obtained above, trace a vertical line until
itintersectsthecurve;fromthispointtraceahorizontallineuntilit
intersectsthelineofthe“manoeuvrecycles”.Theobtainedvalueis
theestimatedlifespanofyourproduct.
Thelifetimevaluesspeciedinthegraphareonlyobtainableifthemainte-
nancescheduleisstrictlyobserved.Seechapter9-Maintenancesched-
ule.Thedurabilityestimationiscarriedoutonthebasisofdesigncalcula-
tionsandtheresultsoftestsperformedonprototypes.Asitisonlyan
estimation,itdoesnotrepresentanyformofguaranteeontheeffectivelife
spanoftheproduct.
Example of durability calculation: automation of a 3.5 m gate weighing 250
kg, installed in the vicinity of the sea. Table 5 shows the “severity index”
for this type of installation: 10% (“Door length”), 20% (“Door weight”) and
15% (“Presence of dust, sand or salt”). These indicators must be added
together to obtain the overall severity index, which is in this case 45%.
With the value identied (45%), look at the horizontal axis of Graph 1
(“severity index”), and identify the value corresponding to the number of
“manoeuvre cycles” our product will be able to perform in its life span,
about 115,000 cycles.

C -OPENinput Cable2x0.5mm220 m (note 2)
Note 1 - You may use a cable which is longer than 30 m, provided it has a larger gauge (for example, 3 x 2.5 mm2) and that it is grounded
close to the automation.
Note 2 - For the cables for the STOP and OPEN inputs, you can also use a single cable with multiple internal wires, to group several connec-
tions: for example, the STOP and OPEN inputs can be connected to the KS100 selector switch with a cable of 4 x 0.5 mm2.
CAUTION!–Thecablesusedmustbesuitedtotheinstallationenvironment;forexampleacableoftypeH03VV-Fforindoorenvi-
ronments, or type H07RN-F for outdoor environments.
• Place the ends of the ducting in the vicinity of the points provided for
afxing the devices.
4.2 - ELECTRICAL CABLES PREPARATION
Toprepareallconnectioncables,proceedasfollows.
a) - Observe g.4 to understand how the various devices should be con-
nected to the control unit and the terminals to be used for each con-
nection.
b) - Observe g.4 to understand how to position the electrical cables in
theenvironment.Then,drawasimilardiagramonpaper,adaptingit
tothespecicneedsofyoursystem.Note - This diagram will be use-
ful,bothtoguidetheexcavationoftheroutesforthecableducting,
andfordrawingupacompletelistofthecablesrequired.
c) - Read Table 6todeterminethetypeofcablestouse;thenusethe
diagramyoujustdrewandtheenvironmentalmeasurementsto
determinethelengthofeachindividualcable.Caution!-Eachcable

INSTALLATION: COMPONENT ASSEMBLY AND CONNECTION
––– STEP 5 –––
IMPORTANT!
- For correct system operation it is necessary to supply mechanical
stops, on the ground or wall, positioned at the maximum Opening and
Closing points of the door. Note - These end stops are not included in
the kit and do not form part of the Mhouse product range.
WARNINGS
• Incorrect installation may cause serious physical injury to those
working on or using the system.
• Before starting automation assembly, carry out the preliminary
checks as described in STEP 3.
• All installation operations must be performed with the power
supply disconnected. If the system is equipped with a PR1 buffer
battery, it must be disconnected.

6.4 - POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION
WARNINGS!
– The PVC power cable is suitable for indoor installations. For
installation outdoors, you must protect the entire cable with a pro-
tective duct. Alternatively, you can replace the cable with one of
type H07RN-F.
– Thenalconnection of the automation to the electrical mains or
substitution of the cable supplied must be performed exclusively
byaqualiedandexpertelectrician,incompliancewithlocalsafe-
ty standards and the following instructions.
•Foroperationalandprogrammingtestsoftheautomation, use
thecablesupplied,insertingtheplugintoanelectricalsocket.Ifthesock-
etisfarfromtheautomation,useasuitableextensionlead.
•For the test and commissioning phase of the automationyou
mustconnectthecontrolunitpermanentlytothemainspowersupply,
replacingthesuppliedcablewithanotherofsuitablelength.Tomakethe
connection between the cable and the gearmotor control unit, proceed as
describedbelow:
WARNING:
Provide a device inside the electricity supply line that ensures complete
disconnection of the automation mechanism from the grid. The dis-
connection device must have contacts with an opening distance large
enough to permit complete disconnection under the conditions sanc-
tioned by overvoltage category III, in accordance with installation regula-
tions. The device ensures quick, safe disconnection from the power sup-
ply if needed, and must therefore be positioned in view of the automation
mechanism. If, on the other hand, it is located in a position which is not
visible, there must be a system for preventing accidental or unauthorized
reconnection with the power grid to prevent this risk. The disconnection
device is not supplied with the product.
01. Make sure that the gearmotor plug is not plugged into the wall sock-
et;
02. Disconnectthepowersupplyterminalelectricalcablefromthegear-
motor;
03. Slacken off the collar [A] (g.35)under the clamp and pull out the
wire.Replaceitwithapermanentpowersupplycable;
04. Connecttheelectriccabletothegearmotorpowersupplyterminal
(g.35);
05. Tighten the collar [A](g.35)tosecuretheelectriccable.

03. To pair additional devices to the control unit, repeat the instructions
frompoint02,foreachone.
04.Finally, after the acquisition of all devices, press and immediately
releaseP1onthecontrolunittoendtheprocedure.
7.3 - CHECKING THE MOVEMENT OF THE GATE
After self-learning the devices, the control unit must recognise the length
ofthegate.Thisstepdetectsthelengthofthegatebetweentheopen
andclosedlimitswitches.Thisinformationisrequiredforcalculatingthe
rampdownpositionsandthepartialopenposition.
01. Releasethegearmotor(seeparagraph11.3-Usageguide)and
movethegatetothehalfwayposition,insuchawaythatitisfreeto
moveinbothdirections;thenlockthegearmotor.
02. Pressthecontrolunit'sOPENkey(g.36);wait for the control unit to
fullyopenthegate.
If the gate does not open but rather closes, press OPEN again to
stopthemovementandswaparoundthejumper(fig. 43);now
repeat step 02.
03. Pressandholddownthecontrolunit'sOPENkey(g.36);
04. Open and close the gate a few times to check that the gate stops
when the limit switches are tripped and at least 2-3 cm before con-
tactingthemechanicalstops.
7.4 - RADIO TRANSMITTERS CHECK
Tocheckthetransmitters,youjustneedtopressononeofits4keys,
checkthattheLEDashesandthattheautomationcarriesoutthecom-
mandsent.Thecommandassociatedtoeachkeydependsonthewayin
whichtheywerestored(seeparagraph10.4“Memorisationofradiotrans-
mitters”).Thesuppliedtransmittersarealreadymemorised,andpressing
theirkeystransmitsthefollowingcommands(g.38):
KeyT1= “OPEN”command
KeyT2= “PedestrianOpening”command
KeyT3= “OpenOnly”command
KeyT4= “CloseOnly”command
7.5 - ADJUSTMENTS
7.5.1 - Leaf speed selection
Leafopeningandclosingcanbedoneintwospeeds:“slow”or“fast”.
To change speeds, press and release P3 (g.36);theP3led(g.36)will
lightuporturnoff;atslowspeed,theledisoff,andatfastspeeditison.
7.5.2 - Selecting the operating cycle type
The closing and opening of the gate can be performed according to two
differentoperatingcycles:
•Singlecycle(semiautomatic):withonecommandthegateopens,and
willremainopenuntilthenextcommandcausingittoclose.
•Completecycle(automaticclosure):withonecommand,thegateopens
andreclosesautomaticallyafterashortspaceoftime(fortheduration
seeparagraph10.1“Parameteradjustmentusingradiotransmitter”).
Tochangeoperatingcycles,pressandreleaseP4(g.36);theP4led
(g.36)willturnonoroff;thecycleis“single”whentheledisoff,and
“complete”whenitison.

TESTING AND COMMISSIONING
8.3 - COMMISSIONING
Commissioning can take place only after all testing phases have
been terminated successfully. Partial or “makeshift” commission-
ing is strictly prohibited.
01. Draw up the technical dossier of the automation that should include
asaminimum:overalldesign(forexampleg.3),riskanalysisand
related adopted solutions, manufacturer conformance declaration for
allthedevicesused(useAnnex1).
02. Postalabelonthedoorprovidingatleastthefollowingdata:typeof
automation,nameandaddressofmanufacturer(personresponsible
forthe“commissioning”),serialnumber,yearofmanufactureandCE
mark.
03. Permanentlyafxthelabelpresentinthepackagetothegate,con-
cerning the manual operations of releasing and locking the gearmo-
tor.
04. Preparethedeclarationofconformityoftheautomationsystemand
deliverittotheowner(useAnnex2).
05. Compiletheusageguidefortheautomationsystemanddeliveritto
theowner;forthispurpose,the“Usageguide”annex(chapter11.3)
canbeusedasanexample.
06. Preparethemaintenancescheduleoftheautomationsystemand
deliverittotheowner;itmustprovidealldirectionsregardingthe
maintenanceofalltheautomationdevices.
07. Before commissioning the automation, ensure that the owner is ade-
quatelyinformedofallassociatedresidualrisksandhazards.
––– STEP 8 –––
Thesearethemostimportantstageintheautomationsysteminstallation
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 and commissioning of the automation must be performed
byskilledandqualiedpersonnel,whoareresponsibleforthe
tests required according to the risks present, and for ensuring
observance of all legal provisions, standards and regulations, and
in particular all requirements of the standard EN 12445, which
establishes the test methods for checking automations for gates.
8.1 - TESTING
01. Ensure that you have strictly complied with the instructions
and warnings in STEP 1.
02. Usingtheselectorswitchortheradiotransmitter,carryouttesting
of opening and closing the gate and check that the movement of
theleafcorrespondstowhatisexpected.Itisusefultoperformsev-
eralteststoevaluatethefreedomofmovementofthegateandany
adjustment or installation faults, as well as the presence of particular
pointsoffriction.
03. Checktheproperoperationofallthesafetydevices,onebyone
(photocells,safetyedges,etc.).Inparticular,eachtimeadeviceis
activated,the“C”LEDonthecontrolunitemitsalongerash,con-
rmingthatthecontrolunithasrecognisedthis.
04. MeasuretheforceasspeciedinthestandardEN12445.Ifthemotor
forcecontrolisusedasanauxiliaryfunctionforreductionofimpact
force,testandidentifythesettingthatobtainsthebestresults.
8.2 - WIRELESS DEVICES TESTING
Safety precautions for the test procedure:
•Afteranyprogrammingphaseitisnecessarytocarryoutafullwireless
connectionsystemtesttochecktheoperationofthesedevices.
•As some test phases require tests to be carried out with the leaf moving,
andduringthetestautomationmaynotbeadequatelysafe,itistherefore
recommendedtousemaximumcautionwhenconductingthesetests.
•Repeatthewholetestsequenceforeverysingledeviceinthewireless
connectionnetwork.
01. Makesurethatyouhavefollowedallinstructionsdescribedinthis
manualandinparticularthewarningsinSTEP1andSTEP3.
02. Activatethesystem“operationaltest”mode:
a)-ensurethatallsystemdevicesarepoweredup.
b)-PressandreleaseP1(g.36):thisenablesthesystem's“function
check”mode.
c)-Pressandreleasethecontrolunit'sOPENkey(g.36)tomovethe
gate;whileitismoving,watchled“B”on each device to check that the
radiosignalisstrongenough(m=ledon;l=ledoff):
mmm=optimalradioreception
mml=goodradioreception
mll=sufcientradioreception
l l l=insufcientradioreception
Ifasingleledinoneormorewirelessdevicesislitforthemajorityofthe
manoeuvreduration,itisrecommendedthatyouimprovethecommu-
nication;moveeachwirelessdevicefromitspositionasfaraspossible,
sometimesjustafewcentimetreswillsolvetheproblem.
03. Check that the PH100W photocells are aligned, see g.39.Photo-
cellled“A”(g.37)ashesasfollows:
•intheTXphotocell:onefastblinkpersecond.Thecolourofthe
ashdependsonbatterychargelevelasexplainedinfootnote(*)in
table14.
•intheRXphotocell:100msashingdurationandfrequencypro-
portionaltoalignment:from1secondash(=optimalsignal)toled
steadyon(=nosignal).Thecolouroftheashdependsonbattery
chargelevelasexplainedintable10.Atthispointyoucanalsocheck
theoperationofthephotocellsbyblockingtheirlineofsightwithan
obstacle;theledshouldstayonsteady.
04. ChecktheoperationoftheF100Windicatorlight:ifthisissetasa
courtesylight,thelampremainslit;ifitissetastheashingindicator
thelampemitsashortasheverysecond.
05. Disablethesystem“operationaltest”mode:pressandreleaseP1on
thecontrolunit.
06. Runafewmovementstocheckthefollowing:
– place an obstacle between each pair of photocells and check that
theautomationrespondsasrequired.
