Nice Robus 1000 RB1000BDKCE Sliding Gate Kit, up to 1000 kg, with Flashing Light

Overview

The Nice Robus 1000 kit (RB1000BDKCE) automates a heavy sliding gate of up to 1000 kg and up to 12 m long, so a large home or business gate opens and closes from a remote. The RB1000 gearmotor has a 24 V DC motor fed from 230 V AC mains, a built-in control unit, an electromechanical limit switch and an OXIBD plug-in two-way radio receiver, with accessories connected over Nice BlueBUS on two wires. The kit adds two four-button remotes, a pair of BlueBUS photocells and a flashing light.

Is it right for you?

• It suits a sliding gate weighing up to 1000 kg with a leaf up to 12 m that moves freely by hand; a gate beyond either limit, or one that is uneven or needs repair, calls for a survey first.
• It is rated for 50 cycles per hour on a gate up to 4 m and 25 cycles per hour on a gate up to 8 m, with a maximum of 150 cycles a day at nominal torque, so it suits a busy home or business gate but not constant traffic.
• A gate that is heavy, long, dusty or near the sea wears the gearmotor faster: expected life ranges from 20,000 to 250,000 cycles depending on the severity of the installation.
• For a lighter gate within the limit of the Nice Robus 600, that smaller model may be enough; check its own specifications.
• If the gate is used by pedestrians or the public, extra safety edges beyond the included photocell pair may be needed.

Key features

• 24 V DC motor powered from 230 V AC mains (+10% / -15%), drawing up to 2.3 A at a peak of 450 W.
• 900 N maximum start-up force (27 Nm) and 500 N nominal (15 Nm), moving the gate at 0.28 m/s.
• Non-reversible electromechanical gearmotor with an electromechanical limit switch and a Z15 module 4 pinion.
• OXIBD plug-in bidirectional receiver, 433.92 MHz, so two-way remotes such as MYGOBD can confirm commands.
• BlueBUS output for up to 15 devices, including up to 7 pairs of photocells and other control, safety and signalling devices on two wires.
• Flashing light output for 2 ELDC LED lights or up to 2 x 12 V 21 W bulbs, and a 24 V DC accessory output of up to 100 mA.
• Inputs for STOP (NO, NC or 8.2 kOhm), step-by-step, OPEN, CLOSE and AUX, so key switches and other controls can be wired in.
• Two MYGO4 four-channel 433.92 MHz remotes, an EPMB BlueBUS photocell pair and an ELDC flashing LED light with integrated antenna in the kit.
• Gearmotor 13 kg, IP44, -20 to 50 °C.

What else you need

• A module 4 rack for the full length of the gate travel, such as the galvanised ROA7; no rack is in the kit. Nylon racks ROA6 (up to 500 kg) and ROA66 (up to 800 kg) do not suit a 1000 kg gate. Rack material and length are confirmed in your quotation.
• A 230 V AC mains supply with earthing near the gate post, a 3 x 1.5 mm2 supply cable (larger over 30 m), an isolator, and H07RN-F outdoor-rated cable for exposed runs.
• Concrete and conduits for the foundation, and photocell posts if the gate posts cannot carry the photocells.
• Only if you want the gate to run during a power cut: the optional PSS124 24 V battery with integrated charger, which plugs into the control unit, or the optional Solemyo solar kit.
• More remotes if needed: MYGOBD, ERA INTI and ERA ONE / MYGO remotes all program into the OXIBD receiver. Extra EPMB photocell pairs can be added, each with its own jumper address.

Installation

A gate automation installer should fit it, with the mains connection and earthing made by a qualified electrician. The job involves:

• Checking the gate: weight up to 1000 kg, length up to 12 m, moving freely by hand with mechanical stops, and the force needed to move it kept under half the nominal torque value.
• Digging a foundation beside the gate, setting conduits for the cables, fixing the anchor bolts to the foundation plate and casting it level and parallel to the gate.
• Fixing the gearmotor on the plate and setting its height to leave 1 to 2 mm between pinion and rack, then fitting the rack along the gate and setting the open and close limit switch brackets on it.
• Fitting the photocells, the ELDC flashing light and any key selector, with power cable 3 x 1.5 mm2 up to 30 m, flashing light cable 2 x 0.5 mm2 plus RG58 aerial cable, and BlueBUS cable 2 x 0.25 mm2 up to 30 m or 2 x 1 mm2 up to 50 m.
• Connecting the devices to the control unit, then the mains supply; running device recognition and gate length recognition; setting the level 1 and level 2 functions; programming the MYGO4 remotes into the OXIBD receiver.
• Commissioning: the gate moves the right way from the remote or key selector, the photocells stop and reverse the gate when tested with a 5 cm cylinder across the beam, the impact force is measured and set to the minimum needed, and the flashing light works during movement.
• Handover of the declaration of conformity, the user manual and maintenance schedule, a written note of residual risks, and a demonstration of the manual release.

Software and licences

The Robus 1000 can be programmed from the MyNice Pro installer app, which needs Pro-View or BiDi-WiFi hardware; BiDi-WiFi plugs into a BusT4 (IBT4N) connector, so confirm this on the supplied control unit before relying on it.

Before you buy

• The rack is not included: order a module 4 rack for the full length of the gate travel.
• Check the gate weight and leaf length against the gearmotor limits in the specifications.
• Use BlueBUS photocells (EPSB, EPMB or EPLB); non-BlueBUS photocells such as EPS and EPM and mains-voltage flashing lights such as the ELAC are not suitable for this control unit.
• Plan maintenance at least every 6 months or every 20,000 movements.
• Foundation works, concrete, mains cabling, the isolator, the backup battery and any safety devices beyond the included photocell pair are not part of the kit.
• The OXIBD radio receiver is not compatible with the O-box functions of the Opera system.
