Product Description And Intended Use - Nice ALTO Instructions And Warnings For Installation And Use

o In this manual, the text "ALTO system" refers to the entire series of devices that make up the automation.
o This manual describes how to set up a complete automation, such as that shown in fig. 4. Some of these devices
and accessories are optional and may not be present in the kit. For a complete description, refer to the Nice Home
product catalogue or visit the website www.niceforyou.com.
o In the first section of the manual (up to chapter 10) all subjects are dealt with in the same order as they are to be
performed. Therefore, to facilitate installation and programming, and to ensure personal safety, read the manual
first, to ensure full comprehension of the tasks to be performed, and then perform the work itself, completing all

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. Any other use than as specified herein or in environmental
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
installation when there is a fixed obstacle over the gearmotor (wall, pole
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
leafs can be moved manually if required, by first releasing the gearmotor
using the relative key.
