Door Industry Journal - Spring 2017

Also online at: www.dijonline.co.uk THE door industry journal spring 2017 NICE UK LAUNCHES SPY, A UNIQUE SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATED GARAGE DOORS Home automation company Nice UK have launched Spy, its new automated garage door system. The unique design features a motor that slides along a rail containing a rack, eliminating the need for noisy mechanisms or chains. With a strong emphasis on safety, the Spy runs on a 24V power supply and has a sensitive obstacle detection system that immediately reverses the motor’s movement when it senses an obstruction in its path. There is also a simple ON/OFF release mechanism that allows the motor to be blocked in any position along the rail. Furthermore, rigorous strength testing in Nice’s in-house product research and development labs has ensured that the Spy is able to withstand intensive use. The automation is guided by a separate control unit with a simple three button system. This is easy to set up and program and has an in-built LED courtesy light. The Spy system is supplied in a kit containing the motor, transmitter and control unit, with three models available depending on the size of the installation. The rail size is also customisable, making the logistics simpler – it can come as a single 3.2m rail or in two 1.6m sections with a 0.8m extension. The launch of the Spy comes after an exciting few months for Nice UK. Last year they introduced the Hi-Speed range of automated gate motors, an industry game-changer with opening times up to three times faster than traditional models. They also invested in a state-of-the-art product showroom and training centre and expanded their sales and marketing teams. Find out more at www.thenicegroup.com .
