CBOX1050 Installation and Programming Manual of recycling metal and plastic. Using a metal and plastic MAINTENANCE OF GATE SYSTEMS recycling center promotes energy cost savings. To keep your automated gate system performing both safely and reliably it is important to ensure that the components of that system are functioning properly.
This ground connection will prevent dangerous currents from appearing on the metal control box, the actuator, or the gate itself. Nice recommends an 8 foot copper rod driven all the way into the ground with a copper clamp and 12ga copper wire minimum.
’ The gate for which the gate operator is intended to be used should itself be installed correctly so that it is level and plumb and the gate opens easily and evenly. ’ Note that Nice swing gate systems are not intended for installation on an incline. CAUTION Disconnect power at the control panel before making any electric service power connections.
CBOX1050 Installation and Programming Manual SECTION 7: 1050 CONTROL BOX INSTALLATION & SETUP MOUNT CONTROL BOX Mount control box on same side as primary actuator (for dual gate systems, same side as the actuator with shorter harness) and at least six feet away from pivot arm (IMAGE 1-1).

CBOX1050 Installation and Programming Manual IMPORTANT! The 1050 control board will not operate without at least one monitored and functioning safety device connected to the control board. Before power is connected to the control board, install either the BlueBUS through-beam photo eyes per the instructions below or an alternative photo eye, such as the reflective EMX NIR-50-325 photo eye (per the instructions provided separately) before attempting to apply power to the control board.
Page 19
CBOX1050 Installation and Programming Manual INSTALL & WIRE BLUEBUS PHOTO EYES 1. Ensure alignment between receiver and transmitter brackets (H), then affix both to selected locations with included screws (I). IMPORTANT! If using the model EPMB/A non-adjustable photo eye (H), ensure the mounting surfaces for both devices are parallel with each other to ensure accurate alignment between TX and RX.

Solar panels of 30W and above must be connected to a regulator which, in turn, then connects to the battery to enable battery charging. Nice offers a regulator (P/N SG-4) for this purpose. For regulators sourced elsewhere, follow the manufacturers instructions when installing. Install and wire the 30W and above solar panels and SG-4 regulator as follows: 1.
CBOX1050 Installation and Programming Manual 7.2 GATE LIMIT LEARNING PROCEDURE NOTICE Until the control board has “LEARNED” the open/close limits, the OPEN and CLOSE buttons must be pressed and HELD DOWN to operate the gate(s). Once limits are learned by the control board, it will take only a single press (and release) to fully open or close the gate.
Page 27
CBOX1050 Installation and Programming Manual 12: GATE LIMIT LEARNING PROCEDURE (CONT.) 8. Press OPEN or CLOSE buttons on the control board till gate is in approximately the halfway position. 9. If dual gate system, unplug the first actuator, plug in the second actuator and repeat Steps 3-5.

CBOX1050 Installation and Programming Manual SECTION 9: 1050 ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS This section describes the accessory functions, connections, and wiring for the 1050 control board. See IMAGE 9-1(below) for a visual representation of all the accessory inputs and outputs, and the following pages for a description of I/O functions and pin designations.
CBOX1050 Installation and Programming Manual 9.1 OUTPUT CONNECTORS OUT 1 / OUT 2 (1-6): Individual, isolated relays provide dry contacts for switching accessories based on programming of the “Auxiliary IO” function. These outputs are programmed in the “FUNCTION / Auxiliary I/O” menu.
Page 55
CBOX1050 Installation and Programming Manual LAMP (12-13): • Provides fused power (1.85A max) to drive a flashing warning lamp to indicate gate operation. • This output is active when the gate is operating (Opening and Closing). • Lamp Delay sets the amount of time the lamp accessory output is activated prior to gate movement. Settings from 0 to 5 seconds with a step of 0.5 seconds.
CBOX1050 Installation and Programming Manual 9.2 INPUT CONNECTORS AUXILIARY INPUTS 1 & 2 (16-19): • These digital inputs may be connected to the digital outputs of accessories and programmed to activate or control the gate operator in a number of different modes.
Page 57
CBOX1050 Installation and Programming Manual EDGE INPUT (28-29): • The EDGE input may be configured as a monitored ANALOG input, or DIGITAL (NC or NO) input. • The EDGE sensor input is intended for ANSI/UL 325 listed gate edge sensors to protect against entrapment and hazardous pinch points along the moving edge of the closing gate.
Page 58
CBOX1050 Installation and Programming Manual GUARD STATION INPUT (34-37): • With the Guard Station switches installed, the user can operate the gate by pushing the respective buttons for the command that is desired. • Gate Open and Close are controlled by NORMALLY OPEN (NO) and Stop is controlled by NORMALLY CLOSED (NC) momentary switches.
CBOX1050 Installation and Programming Manual 9.3 EMERGENCY VEHICLE ACCESS The automatic vehicular gate system must be designed to allow access to emergency vehicles under different operating conditions. Read all the following information. Make sure that your gate operating system is compliant with all local codes and regulations and that access for emergency vehicles is assured.
• The Oview controller is an optional programming and diagnostic tool, which plugs directly into the 1050 control board using an RJ45 network cable and is part of the Nice “Opera” control system. • The Oview controller can be used in “stand-alone” mode via its front-panel keypad, or it may be accessed via a Bluetooth-enabled PC when used with the optional OVBT module and Oview Software Suite.
CBOX1050 Installation and Programming Manual 10.2 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE Component Maintenance Action Months Annually Activate the primary (inherent) reverse system by blocking the gate with a solid object. The gate ALARM should reverse momentarily then stop. Restart the gate and block again with a solid object. The gate should reverse momentarily, then stop, and go into hard shutdown with an alarm.
Check accessory inputs and clear them as necessary. Also check to ensure the Gate opens by itself. Event programming has not been set to open the gate at a particular time. 1050 display shows repeated “Nice Apollo Check battery voltage and replace if necessary (Display>Battery Volt).
