Buying Guide: Matching Motor to Gate & Use Case

Here’s where you stop guessing and start matching what you need with what Nice offers.

1. Gate Parameters You Should Measure / Know

• Weight: use a scale or judicious estimation. Include infill, material, wind-load, etc.

• Length / travel distance: rack length matters; friction or slope adds load.

• Frequency of use (duty cycle): how many open/close cycles per day; commercial / residential / public access make a big difference.

• Power availability & reliability: do you have stable 230 V AC (then converted internally to 24 V DC) or frequent outages? Backup needed?

2. Choose Based on Use Case

3. Consider Accessories / Add-Ons

• Photocells (for safety), safety edges, flashing beacons. Don’t skimp on safety.

• Rack length & quality: steel vs galvanized, proper teeth alignment, spacing.

• Remote choices: number of buttons, bidirectional feedback, range.

• Backup power (battery kit) if power outages are common in your area.

4. Local / Regulatory Things

If you’re in a specific region (e.g. Australia, EU, Vietnam), check:

• Local electrical safety standards / certifications

• Warranty support locally

• Import duty / shipping cost impact

• Weather conditions (extreme heat, humidity, monsoon rains) which might affect IP rating or corrosion proofing

Installation, Safety & Maintenance Tips

Once you pick your motor & kit, you want it to last—and be safe.

1. Installation Best Practices

• Ensure the foundation is solid and level; alignment matters especially for sliding gates to reduce load.

• Mount the motor so that the rack is parallel to the gate, teeth fit well, minimal backlash.

• Wiring: use the BlueBUS system if provided; ensure all safety devices are properly wired and tested (photocells, edges, emergency release).

• Location: protect against water ingress, debris; ensure motor cover and release lever accessible.

2. Safety Considerations

• Photocells: test them regularly so the gate stops / reverses when someone or something interrupts the beam.

• Sensitive edges or safety edges: needed in some jurisdictions; helps prevent crush injuries.

• Signage (TS safety sign) often required in kits; do not omit.

• Passage lighting / flashing light (e.g. ELDC) helps when visibility is low.

3. Maintenance Tips

• Clean and lubricate rack and gear teeth periodically.

• Keep limit switch sensors clean; magnetic types are more robust but still need check.

• Check remote batteries, photocells alignment, clean lenses.

• Firmware / software updates if your motor/control unit/app supports them.

FAQs

Q: What is “Hi-Speed” in Robus 600 HS, and does it lower torque or duty life?
A: “Hi-Speed” refers to faster opening speed (≈0.44 m/s) spaced for gates up to 600 kg. It does not increase weight rating, so torque and duty stay within those limits. If gate is heavier or draggy (high friction, misaligned rack), wearing or strain could increase. Proper installation and maintenance helps avoid reduction in life.

Q: Can I use Yubii Home Pro to control / monitor Robus motors?
A: Yes. The New Robus line is designed to integrate with Yubii Home Pro, via BiDi-WiFi / plug-in modules etc. It enables you to include your gate in smart-home scenes, get feedback, remotely monitor.

Q: Is the standby power draw high?
A: No. The standard Robus400 / 600 / 800 motors have very low standby consumption (~0.4 W) which helps reduce ongoing energy cost. The HS versions will draw more power while in operation, but idle power remains small.

Q: If I already have an older Nice motor, can I upgrade to a New Robus easily?
A: In many cases yes — because the New Robus designs allow backward compatibility for mounting base, rack mounting, etc. But you should verify foundation plate dimensions, rack specs, remote protocol compatibility, and ensure safety and wiring matches your local regulations.

Q: What happens in power outages?
A: Optional battery backup (PSS124) is available for many of the New Robus motors to keep them operational during mains failure. If high reliability is important or you live somewhere with frequent power cuts, adding the battery backup is a smart move.
