PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND
2
INTENDED USE
This product is a buffer battery designed for use in automations for gates and
garage doors using Nice control units. CAUTION! – Any use other than as
described herein is to be considered improper and is strictly prohibited!
The battery supplies emergency power to an automation in the event of a sudden
power failure.
When the battery is charged it can guarantee automation autonomy of approx.
10 manoeuvres. Other characteristics are provided in the chapter "Product Tech-
nical Specifications".
The model PS324 can also be installed outside a control unit, using the relative
brackets and cable (mod. TNA9 – optional accessory).

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
Proceed with installation and connection of the battery, with reference to the
instruction manual of the automation to which it is to be connected.
• For models PS124 and PS324: the connectors of the cable connecting
the battery to the control unit are not polarised and therefore there is no
need to observe polarity. Use the thinner connector for the buffer battery
and the wider version for the control unit;
• For model PS224: the cable connecting the battery to the control unit is
not polarised and therefore can be connected to the connectors on either
side. However the connectors are polarised and therefore must be inserted
observing the direction indicated on the retainer tab.

TESTING AND COMMISSIONING
The following checks must be performed immediately after connecting the buffer
battery to the control unit.
1 On the buffer battery: ensure that led "L2" (fig.1) is lit; this indicates that the
battery is supplying power to the system.
On the Control unit: ensure that the leds indicate correct operation of the
control unit.
If the result is not positive the buffer battery is probably discharged. At this
point, with the automation powered by the mains, perform the operation
described in point "2". Important – Wait a few hours before repeating the
operation check.
2 Connect the automation to the electric mains and ensure that buffer battery led
"L1" (fig.1) is lit; this indicates that the battery is recharging correctly.
3 Run a complete Opening or Closing manoeuvre of the automation to ensure
correct operation of the entire system when powered by the mains.
4 Disconnect the automation from the mains and ensure that buffer battery led
"L2" (fig.1) is lit; then run at least one complete Opening and Closing manoeu-
vre of the automation to ensure correct operation of the entire system when
powered by the buffer battery.
– Models PS124 and PS324: the speed of automation manoeuvres with
these models of buffer battery, according to the type of automation connected,
may be low even if the speed is set to high;
– Model PS224: operation of the automation with this model of buffer battery,
according to the type of automation connected, may reduce the manoeuvre
execution speed with respect to the speed when connected to the power
mains;
5 At the end of the above checks, reconnect the automation to the power mains.
