GENERAL NOTES ON THE MANUAL

There are two programming unit models available: O-Box and

O-BoxB. These models are identical with the only difference on

the model O-BoxB, of a module for connection by Bluetooth

®

.

In this manual, the term “O-Box

” is used to refer to both

product models, unless otherwise specified.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND

INTENDED USE

1

The product O-Box (or O-BoxB, version with Bluetooth

®

module) comprises a

programming unit and dedicated software. The combination of these two ele-

ments is designed for the programming and maintenance of data and parame-

ters of devices used for the automation of gates, garage doors, sun awnings,

shutters, road barriers with mobile arms and similar applications.

Any other use is to be considered improper! The manufacturer declines all

liability for damage resulting from improper use of the product and other

than as specified in this manual.

O-Box and the “NiceOpera” system

O-Box is a device that belongs to the system “NiceOpera”. This system has

been designed by Nice to simplify the phases of programming, use and main-

tenance of the devices in automation systems. The system is made up of vari-

ous devices, both software and hardware, able to exchange data and informa-

tion via radio, by means of an encoding system named “O-Code” or a physical

cable connection.

The main system devices are:

– NiceOne transmitters;

– NiceOne receivers (family OXI… ; family OX…);

– O-Box programming unit;

– control units and gearmotors with “Bus T4”;

– O-View programmer for devices with “Bus T4”.

IMPORTANT – For detailed information on all functionalities of the Nice-

Opera system and interdependency of the various system devices, refer

to the general manual “NiceOpera System Book”, also available on the

website www.niceforyou.com

Main operating characteristics of O-Box

Use of O-Box is especially recommended on automation systems with a high

technological content, as it enables the installer to perform many functions

directly from the office, without the need to visit the client’s premises; it also

enables configuration of a system directly on-site.

EN

The product incorporates a rechargeable 6 V battery, which enables operation

without a mains connection.

Note – the battery requires a complete recharging cycle of at least 10 hours.

The charge level is indicated by the software (see fig. 1).

The battery recharges automatically each time O-Box is powered by an exter-

nal power supply or by means of the USB cable.

2.1 – CONNECTIONS

• Connecting O-Box to the electrical mains

The product can be mains-powered using a 12 Vdc power supply unit (option-

al accessory) or via computer using a USB cable (supplied).

• Connecting O-Box to a personal computer

Use of O-Box (or O-BoxB) requires connection to a personal computer (PC)

equipped with a USB port, by means of the cable supplied, or via a serial port

by means of a RS232 cable (optional accessory).

Note – For this connection the USB socket is recommended (if present) as it

guarantees improved performance: it is more reliable, and ensures faster data

transmission, does not require configuration, and enables automatic recharg-

ing of the battery in O-Box.

• Connecting O-BoxB via Bluetooth

®

The model O-BoxB can also be connected via Bluetooth

®

to a computer or

palmtop (PDA) equipped with a

Bluetooth

®

interface.

This is a wireless connection: simply install the software on the computer or

palmtop and set the data according to the relative characteristics of the palmtop.

Note – Before activating the Bluetooth

®

connection, disconnect O-BoxB from

the USB port or serial port of the computer.

O-BoxB is designed to memorise up to 16 connections with different comput-

ers. To make the connection, switch on O-BoxB, set up the computer for con-

nection via Bluetooth

®

and wait for the flashing light on the O-BoxB to become

permanently lit (confirming activation of the connection).

To delete the list of computer connections from the memory, proceed as follows:

This product enables administration and modification of systems using a data-

base; this means rapid operations such as resetting and expanding existing

systems, replacement of transmitters etc...

In general O-Box can be used to:

• check, update, program or delete codes of transmitters “Bio”, “FloR”, “Ergo”,

“Plano”, and “NiceOne”;

• program the memories of receivers “Bio” and “FloR”;

• read and write transponder cards;

• program functions and parameters of transmitters “Bio”, “FloR”, and “Very”;

• optically read “Bio” transmitter codes;

• read and program parameters of receivers “SMX1” and “SMX2” via cable;

• receive data via radio from transmitters with SMILO, FLO, FLOR, O-CODE

encoding, to create user databases, program memories and receivers;

• program via radio transmitters in the series “NiceOne”;

• manage via radio all functions of receivers “NiceOne”

The software supplied with O-Box enables the configuration and programming

of all transmitters and receivers in the series “NiceOne”. It is also compatible

with all devices in the series “FloR”, “SMXI” and “Bio”.

“NiceOne”

(family OXI...; family OX...)

The section “Settings” enables the user to enter operating parameters of a

receiver in the series “NiceOne” and a receiver with a “BM” memory, managing

all relative advanced functions.

BM MEMORIES

• Advanced settings: This function enables entry of the following parameters.

 Memory lock

: this activates a lock on the memory board self-learning

operations when the board is inserted in its receiver. In other words, no new

codes can be entered on a receiver with a “locked” memory, and operation is

restricted exclusively to existing codes (refer also to the relative receiver

instructions).

 Password

: enables entry of a password in the memory board; in other

words a numerical code accessible via software only by those in possession

of this specific code, used to control and restrict access to data stored on

the memory board. The password will be requested each time access is

required to memory contents, to read or modify data and codes present.

The password does NOT enable modifications to data stored on the memo-

ry board when the latter is inserted on a receiver: it locks all functions pro-

English – 11

EN

grammable manually on the receiver that hosts this memory.

 Timer: enables modifications to the timer time intervals. The time is dis-

played in hours minutes and seconds.

 Altera

: this is a code that enables personalisation of a receiver; this code

is compatible with the previous systems “FloR”.

Caution! – Do not forget the new

protection code otherwise the receiver will

no longer be usable.

 RND control

: enables the user to enable or disable control of the variable

section of the identity code (RND) of a receiver.

 RND window

: enables modifications to the RND window of a receiver.

This window represents the portion of values within which the variable sec-

tion of the identity (RND) code is accepted.

Note – Normally the window value is 100 and may have a value from 5 to

250.

 Synchronism

: enables the user to activate or deactivate the receiver re-

synchronisation. If synchronism is deactivated, system safety is increased,

but if the transmitter exits the RND window, the identity code will have to be

memorised again in the receiver memory.

 Native only

: enables the user to enable or disable the receiver for recep-

tion of commands sent by a transmitter with a code modified with respect to

factory settings.

NiceOne RECEIVERS

The functions available are:

• Certificates: this function enables reading and entry of receiver certificates

(up to a maximum of 4). In order, starting from the top, the receiver certificate

(present on the card in the pack) is listed, followed by 3 spaces usable to cre-

ate groups of receivers.

Note – For more information on use of certificates, refer to the manual “Nice

Opera System Book”.

• Codes: this function enables the user to personalise a receiver, with the

option to modify the codes of “Installer”, “Installation” and “Altera”. In particular,

“Altera” is compatible with the previous systems “FloR”.

Caution! – Do not forget the new

protection code otherwise the receiver will no

longer be usable.

The codes are useful to personalise a system: in other words the original code

(factory setting) of a transmitter can be modified if required. For this reason the

codes must be the same on the transmitter and the receiver. In this case the O-

Box codes must also be modified to enable subsequent use.

• Advanced settings: This function enables entry of the following parameters.

 Basic settings

- Enable original TX only: this function enables the user to enable or disable

operation of a receiver that receives the command from transmitters with a

modified code, i.e. with a code that is no longer the factory-set value.

- Disable RND: this function enables the user to enable or disable control of

the variable section of the identity code (RND) of a receiver.

 Memorisation settings

- Memorisation lock by means of “Enable code”: this function enables the

user to lock memorisation of a new transmitter using the “Enable code” of an

old transmitter (already memorised). This procedure may be used only if two

transmitters with “O-Code” encoding are used.

- Memorisation lock by means of “Certificate”: this function enables the

user to lock memorisation of a new transmitter using the certificate of a

receiver.

- Remote memorisation lock: this function enables the user to lock memo-

risation of a new transmitter using an old transmitter with the procedure “in

the vicinity of transmitter”

 BUS T4 settings

Note - The “Bus” is a system that enables connection of all automation sys-

tem devices, using a single cable with several internal electrical wires. In this

type of connection, data communication between devices is via a specific

protocol, which in this case is the Nice “Bus T4”.

- Enable code repetition via bus: this function enables the user to enable

the option on a receiver to transfer the copy of a code received via radio from

a transmitter, to other connected devices, by means of the Bus T4 cable.

- Enable code reception via bus: this function enables the user to enable

the option on a receiver to receive a code transmitter via the Bus T4 cable by

another receiver (refer to the point above “Enable code repetition via bus”).

- Enable authorisation groups: This function enables the user to enable

management of radio codes in specific authorisation groups.

12 – English

EN

 Advanced settings

- Enable Repeater: this function enables code repetition. If there is the need

for remote control of an automation from a distance greater than that normal-

ly covered by the transmitter and receiver, a second receiver may be used

with the task of re-transmitting via radio the command to the end receiver (in

which the identity code is memorised of the transmitter that sent the com-

mand) to that the latter can execute the command.

- Enable key release management: during use of a transmitter, after send-

ing a command, the manoeuvre does not stop precisely on release of the key

but proceeds briefly for a set time interval. If required, the manoeuvre can be

interrupted immediately on release of the transmitter key (e.g. during fine tun-

ing operations) by enabling this function on the receiver.

- Disable priority management: this function enables the user to disable

reception on a receiver of commands sent by transmitters with priority

greater than 0.

Note – For more information on use of all functions described, refer to the man-

ual “Nice Opera System Book”.

• Change Password: this function enables the entry of a password to restrict

access, also manual, to all functions of a receiver, by those not in possession of

this password.

The Systems section is a database that enables the creation and storage, for

each system, of an analytical datasheet summarising the client’s information

and settings of the receivers installed in the relative system. In particular there is

the option to modify systems, display codes, settings and save data of the

receivers installed, and in the event of malfunction enables restoral of automa-

tion operation.

This section is made up of two windows:

– a quick search function and selection of stored systems;

– another window containing a datasheet for collection of data related to a sin-

gle system.

To access the Systems section, proceed as follows:

01. In the home page

(fig. 3) click on the icon “Systems”.

02. An initial window is displayed (fig. 10) for managing stored systems. This

comprises the following items:

• Browser bar with the following functions:

 “Modify”

: enables modifications to system data.

 “New system”: enables the creation of a new system.

 “Copy”: enables copying of data from an existing system to create a

new identical version.

 “Delete”: enables the user to delete one or more systems.

• The area “Filter on data” to enable simple and fast searches of stored

systems.

• The area “Systems List” showing the list of stored systems.

03. At this point, on selection of one of the following functions: “Modify”, “New

system” and “Copy”, a second window is displayed (fig. 11) with the

datasheet of the specific system. This comprises the following items.

• Browser bar with the following functions:

 “Work on this system”

: enables work on a new or existing system

(refer to paragraph 3.5.1).

 Save to file: enables the user to save data of receivers to be memo-

rised on other files.

3.5 – SYSTEMS AREA

English – 13

11

 “Import from File”: enables reading of receiver data from a file (refer to

paragraph 3.5.1).

 “Save changes”

: enables the user to save modifications applied to a

system datasheet.

As well as the browser bar, this window displays 3 work sections: Client;

System codes; Receivers.

• Client: this enables entry of client data.

• System codes: this enables use of codes to personalise a system by

use of the fields “Installer Code”. “Installation Code” and “Altera”. These

codes are useful to restrict system management exclusively to those in

possession of the codes. The same code can be used on different sys-

tems or different codes for each system.

During programming of the transmitters and receivers in the series “Nice

Opera”, these are programmed automatically with the same codes as set

in the system board, if this board has previously been activated and

contains the set codes.

Note – For more information on use of codes, refer to the manual “Nice

Opera System Book”.

• Receivers: this section displays the receivers present in a system. To

add or delete receivers, refer to paragraph 3.5.1.

3.5.1 – Adding receivers on a system

In general, to add one or more receivers on a system board, there are two

optional procedures.

• direct mode

: this mode requires the condition that the data of the receiver to

be added to a system are already memorised on a file. Then, in the window dis-

playing the system datasheet, click on the function “Import from file” (on the

browser bar) and select the required file.

• indirect mode

: This mode envisages the following operations:

- when the software is opened, in the panel “System selection”, select one of

the functions “Work on the last system” or “Select or create a system”; other-

wise click on the icon “Systems” on the home page

.

– a window is displayed for management of stored systems (fig. 10) which

requires selection of the system on which the receiver is to be added (an exist-

ing system or a new version created at the time);

14 – English

EN

– after confirming the selection, clicking on the icon “Work on this system”, the

software displays the initial window specifying the system on which the user is

working (fig. 12);

– then connect the relative receiver to O-Box and activate the section

“Receivers” to perform programming as required (refer to chapter 3.4);

- in the same window, click on the icon “System” and in the drop-down (*)

menu, select “Add to system”.

(*) Note – the menu associated with the icon “System” is dynamic as it displays

different items according to the relative circumstances. In general the items dis-

played are:

• first line: this states the name of the active system in italics, i.e. the system on

which the receiver being programmed can be saved.

• last line: this states the command “Add to system” to save the (new) receiver

programmed.

• other lines: these state the name of any receivers already present on the sys-

tem. To modify one of these, select the name and modify the parameters as

required. To save the modifications applied, click on the icon “System” and in

12

the drop-down menu, select “Save changes...” (this item is only present if the

active system already has receivers present).

di cancelli, portoni da garage, tende da sole, tapparelle, barriere stradali con

asta mobile e applicazioni similari.

Ogni altro uso è da considerarsi improprio! Il costruttore non risponde dei

danni risultanti da un uso improprio del prodotto, diverso da quanto pre-

visto nel presente manuale.

L’O-Box e il sistema “NiceOpera”

L’O-Box è un dispositivo che fa parte del sistema “NiceOpera”. Questo siste-

ma è stato progettato da Nice per semplificare le fasi di programmazione, di

uso e manutenzione dei dispositivi presenti negli impianti di automatizzazione. Il

sistema è formato da vari dispositivi, software e hardware, capaci di scambiar-

si fra loro dati e informazioni via radio, attraverso un sistema di codifica chiama-

to “O-Code” o un collegamento ‘fisico’, tramite cavo.

I principali dispositivi che formano il sistema sono:

– trasmettitori NiceOne;

– ricevitori NiceOne (famiglia OXI… ; famiglia OX…);

– unità di programmazione O-Box;

– centrali e motoriduttori con “Bus T4”;

– programmatore O-View per dispositivi con “Bus T4”.

IMPORTANTE – Per approfondire in dettaglio tutte le funzionalità del

sistema NiceOpera e l’interdipendenza operativa che lega i vari dispositi-

vi del sistema, consultare il manuale generale “NiceOpera System Book”,

disponibile anche nel sito internet www.niceforyou.com

Principali caratteristiche funzionali dell’O-Box

L’utilizzo dell’O-Box è particolarmente indicato negli impanti di automatizzazio-

ne ad elevato contenuto tecnologico, in quanto permette di svolgere molte fun-

zioni direttamente nell’ufficio dell’installatore, senza la necessità di effettuare le

operazioni presso l’impianto del cliente; oppure, permette di configurare un

impianto direttamente presso il cliente.

Il prodotto integra una batteria ricaricabile da 6 V, che gli permette di funziona-

re senza il collegamento alla rete elettrica.

Nota – La batteria richiede un ciclo di ricarica completo di minimo 10 ore. Il

livello della carica è indicato all’interno del software (vedere fig. 1).

La batteria si ricarica automaticamente ogni volta che l’O-Box viene alimentato

con un alimentatore esterno o con il cavo USB.

2.1 – COLLEGAMENTI

• Collegare l’O-Box all’alimentazione elettrica

Il prodotto può essere alimentato dalla rete elettrica, utilizzando un alimentato-

re da 12 Vcc (accessorio opzionale) o da un computer, utilizzando il cavo USB

(in dotazione).
