Product Description And Applications; Installation - Nice F210B Instructions And Warnings For The Fitter

1) Warnings
This manual contains important information regarding safety during installa-
tion, therefore before starting installation, it is important that you read all the
information contained herein. Store this manual in a safe place for future use.
Due to the dangers which may arise during both the installation and use of the
F210B, installation must be carried out in full respect of the laws, provisions
and rules currently in force in order to ensure maximum safety.
According to the most recent European legislation, the automation of a
door or gate is governed by the provisions listed in Directive 98/37/CE
(Machine Directive) and, more specifically, by provisions: EN 13241-1
(harmonized standard); EN 12445; EN 12453 and EN 12635, which enable
to declare the conformity of the product to the machine directive.
Further information, risk analysis guidelines and how to draw up the Technical
Documentation are available at: www.niceforyou.com. This manual has been
especially written for use by qualified fitters, none of the information provided
in this manual can be considered as being of interest to end users!
• The use of F210B which is not explicitly provided for in these instructions is
not permitted. Improper use may cause damage and personal injury.
• Do not modify any components unless such action is specified in these
instructions. Operations of this type are likely to lead to malfunctions. NICE

2) Product description and applications

The F210B directional photocells are presence detectors (type D according to
the EN12453 standard) that can be used in gate automation systems, which
allow the detection of obstacles present on the optical axis between the trans-
mitter (TX) and the receiver (RX).
The photocells have a "BlueBus" type communication that allows all devices
to be easily connected to the control unit with just two wires. The photocells
are simply connected in parallel and the addressing jumpers are selected
depending on the required function (see table 1).

3) Installation

!
The system must be disconnected from the mains power supply
during installation. If buffer batteries are present, these must also be
disconnected.
• Check carefully that the use parameters conform to the data indicated in the
"technical characteristics" chapter. If in doubt, do not use the product and ask
clarification from the Nice technical assistance department.
Proceed with the installation checking the following points:
1. Depending on the type of automation, position the photocells based on the
detection functions. Check the foreseen positions in figures 2, 3, 4 and 5
and set the jumpers following table 1.
To rectify interference between the various "BlueBus" devices, position the
photocell transmitters and receivers as shown in figures 2 and 3.
If the photocell needs to be used as an opening device (see figures 2, 3, 4
and 5, and the FA1 and FA2 addresses in table 1), cut the jumper between
points "A" both on the TX and on the RX as shown in fig. 6
4) Addressing and recognition of the devices
The particular "BlueBus" communication system allows the control unit to
recognise the photocells, by means of addressing with the appropriate
jumpers, and to assign the correct detection operation. The addressing
operation is performed both on the TX as well as on the RX (positioning the
jumpers in the same manner) making sure that there are no other photocell
pairs with the same address.
1. Address the photocells based on the required operation, positioning the
jumpers as shown in table 1.
Place the jumpers that are not used in the spare location for future use,
as shown in figure 14.
Note: For the detailed description of the various operations performed and
each type of addressing, consult the "BlueBus" technology interface and
control units use manual.
Note: to rectify interference between the various "BlueBus" devices, posi-
tion the photocell transmitters and receivers as shown in figures 2 and 3.
2. Perform the programming of the devices on the control unit as illustrat-
ed in paragraph "Recognition of connected devices" in the various "Blue-
Bus" interface or control unit use manuals.
Note: If the photocell is used in replacement of an already existing photocell, the jumpers are positioned in exactly the same way as that of the replaced pho-
tocell and the recognition phase is not necessary.
3. If necessary, improve the alignment of the TX and RX lenses as shown in figure 13. Perform the L1 Led signalling (Ir Level), the slower the flash the better the
alignment. The best alignment is when the L1 Led flashes slowly with a maximum of 3 flashes per second.

disclaims any liability for damage resulting from modified products
• F210B must only function through TX-RX direct interpolation. Use through
reflection is prohibited.
• The photocell must be secured to a solid and vibration free surface.
• Use suitable conductors for the electrical connections as specified in the
control unit manuals.
• The F210B photocells can only be connected to control units with "Blue-
Bus" technology.
Particular warnings concerning the suitable use of this product in relation to
the 89/336/EEC "Electromagnetic Compatibility" Directive and subsequent
modifications 92/31/EEC and 93/68/EEC:
This product has been subjected to tests regarding the electromagnetic com-
patibility in the most critical of use conditions, in the configurations foreseen
in this instructions manual and in combination with articles present in the Nice
S.p.a. product catalogue. The electromagnetic compatibility may not be guar-
anteed if used in configurations or with other products that have not been
foreseen; the use of the product is prohibited in these situations until the cor-
respondence to the requirements foreseen by the directive have been verified
by those performing the installation.
Because the F210B can be horizontally directed through 210° and vertically
directed through 30°, it can also be applied on surfaces where the correct align-
ment between the TX and RX would not normally be possible (see figure 1).
The F210B photocells can be used along with the new "FT210B" series of
devices (see figures 2 and 3). The FT210B device uses the "BlueBUS" tech-
nology and resolves problems related to the electrical connection of sensitive
edges on the moving leaf (for further details consult the FT210B use manual).
2. If necessary, the F210B can be installed on a special MOCF post, with the
appropriate FA2 accessory (see figure 7), or wall mounted. If the F210B is
wall mounted, the cable can be introduced from the base (see figure 8) or
from below. In this case a "PG9" cable clip is required (see figure 9).
3. To aid the fixing operation, the electronic board can be detached from the
base using a screw driver to lever the three clips as shown in figure 10.
4. Fix the receiver as shown in figure 11.
5. If the distance between TX and RX is greater than 10 m, cut the jumper
between points "> 10 m" of the RX as shown in figure 6.
7. Connect the electric cable to both the TX and RX terminals. From an elec-
trical point of view, the TX and RX are connected together in parallel (as
shown in figure 12) and to the "BlueBus" interface or control unit terminal.
The polarity does not have to be respected
8. Direct the lenses as shown in figure 13 so that the TX and RX are perfect-
ly aligned.
