868.46 MHz Radio Frequency

The NICE OXIFM operates at 868.46 MHz.

This is the most important technical specification for this receiver and should be clearly displayed in the product name, technical table and compatibility information.

Do not describe OXIFM as a 433.92 MHz receiver.

OXIFM Is Not a 433.92 MHz Receiver

NICE separates its receiver families by radio frequency.

OXIFM = 868.46 MHz

OXI / OXIBD = 433.92 MHz families

This means a standard 433.92 MHz transmitter should not be assumed compatible with OXIFM.

NICE O-Code Technology

The official NICE technical specification lists O-Code as the radio coding system used by OXIFM.

Compatibility therefore requires both:

• Correct 868.46 MHz operating frequency
• Compatible NICE O-Code radio protocol

Frequency Alone Does Not Guarantee Compatibility

An 868 MHz transmitter is not automatically compatible simply because its frequency is close to 868.46 MHz.

The transmitter must use the correct NICE-supported coding protocol.

Always verify:

• Remote model
• Exact radio frequency
• O-Code compatibility
• Receiver programming procedure
• Available receiver memory

4 Standard Receiver Channels

NICE specifies 4 channels for OXIFM through its plug-in connector.

The exact automation functions assigned to these channels depend on the connected control unit and programming method.

Up to 15 Commands Through BusT4

On compatible NICE Opera systems, the receiver can provide up to 15 functions through BusT4.

This extended functionality depends on the automation control unit supporting the NICE Opera / BusT4 system.

NICE Opera System

The OXIFM is part of the NICE Opera-compatible receiver family.

Opera allows compatible NICE automation components to exchange additional information and support extended programming and control functions through BusT4.

Plug-In Receiver Design

The NICE OXIFM is a plug-in receiver with connector.

It is designed to plug directly into the appropriate receiver socket of a compatible NICE control unit.

It should not be described as a flush-mount wall receiver.

Not a Flush-Mount Access-Control Receiver

The term “flush mount” normally refers to equipment recessed into a wall, electrical box or panel.

That is not the correct description of OXIFM.

The correct wording is:

NICE OXIFM plug-in radio receiver with connector.

OXIFM vs OX2FM

Installation	Plug-In Connector	Pre-Wired External Receiver
Channels	4 / up to 15 via BusT4	2
Output	Via NICE Connector	Relay Output
Power Supply	5 VDC	12–28 VAC/VDC

OXIFM vs OXITFM

The OXIFM is the 868.46 MHz receiver without a built-in transmitter.

The related OXITFM version adds a built-in transmitter for compatible Opera functions.

Do not list OXIFM as transmitting at 868.46 MHz; that specification belongs to OXITFM.

OXIFM vs OXIBD

Feature	NICE OXIFM	NICE OXIBD
Frequency	868.46 MHz	433.92 MHz
Main Coding	O-Code	BD, O-Code, FloR, TTS, Flo, Smilo
Bidirectional Radio	No Built-In Transmitter	Yes with Compatible BD Functions
Standard Channels	4	4
Power	5 VDC	5 VDC

5 VDC Power Supply

The OXIFM receives approximately 5 VDC from the compatible NICE control board through its receiver connector.

Do not connect an external 12V, 24V or 230V supply directly to the module.

30 mA Maximum Current Consumption

The official NICE specification lists a maximum electrical draw of approximately 30 mA.

50 Ohm Input Impedance

The radio input impedance is approximately 50 Ω.

Where an appropriate external antenna is connected, use the antenna arrangement recommended for the receiver and frequency.

Receiver Sensitivity

NICE specifies a sensitivity greater than approximately 0.8 µV for successfully received signals.

Actual usable remote-control range still depends on:

• Transmitter model
• Transmitter battery
• Antenna installation
• Walls and reinforced concrete
• Metal structures
• Electrical and radio interference

No Guaranteed Remote Range

Do not advertise an absolute remote-control distance for OXIFM.

Radio range depends strongly on installation conditions.

IP30 Protection

The official NICE protection rating is IP30.

OXIFM must therefore be installed inside a suitable automation control enclosure or motor housing.

It should not be mounted directly outdoors or described as waterproof.

Operating Temperature

The NICE manual specifies an operating-temperature range of approximately -20°C to +55°C.

For UAE installations, the receiver should remain inside a protected control enclosure within this temperature range.

Compact Dimensions

The OXIFM measures approximately 50 × 19 × 45 mm.

Its compact size allows direct installation inside compatible NICE automation control units.

Approx. 20 g Weight

The official listed weight is approximately 20 grams.

Compatible NICE Automation Systems

The OXIFM can be used with compatible NICE automation control units equipped with the correct plug-in receiver connector and supporting the required Opera / radio functions.

Compatibility should always be based on the control-board model, not simply the gate motor name.

Sliding Gate Applications

The receiver can be used with compatible NICE sliding gate control units where the proper receiver socket is provided.

Typical applications include villa entrances, commercial sliding gates and industrial access systems.

Swing Gate Applications

OXIFM can also be used with compatible swing gate control units equipped with the required receiver connector.

The motor itself does not determine radio receiver compatibility.

Parking Barrier Applications

Compatible NICE road and parking barrier control units can use OXIFM where the correct receiver interface is provided.

Garage Door Applications

The OXIFM may be used with compatible NICE garage-door automation controllers supporting the appropriate receiver module.

Do Not List Every NICE Motor as Compatible

The safest wording is:

Compatible with NICE automation control units equipped with the appropriate plug-in receiver connector and supporting the NICE OXIFM / Opera radio architecture.

Incorrect 433.92 MHz Remote Compatibility

Do not list standard 433.92 MHz NICE transmitters as compatible with OXIFM simply because they work with OXI or OXIBD.

For example, standard 433.92 MHz versions of the following should not automatically be listed as OXIFM-compatible:

• FLO2RE
• FLO4RE
• FLO2R-S
• INTI 433.92 MHz versions
• ON2E 433.92 MHz
• MYGO 433.92 MHz versions

OXIFM requires the correct 868.46 MHz NICE O-Code transmitter.

Compatible 868.46 MHz NICE Transmitters

Use transmitter models specifically produced for NICE 868.46 MHz O-Code.

Examples from NICE radio families may include dedicated FM / 868.46 MHz versions where officially specified.

Always verify the exact suffix and frequency printed on the transmitter before programming.

NICE ONE FM Series

Older NICE ONE transmitters were produced in dedicated 868.46 MHz versions such as ON-series FM models.

These should not be confused with visually similar 433.92 MHz ON transmitters.

Remote Frequency Must Match

A very useful customer check is to inspect the label on the existing remote.

If the remote is marked 433.92 MHz, it should not be assumed compatible with OXIFM.

For OXIFM, look for the correct 868.46 MHz version and compatible coding.

Programming Remote Controls

Compatible transmitters must be memorised into the OXIFM using the official NICE programming procedure.

The exact procedure can depend on receiver configuration and control-unit architecture.

Mode 1 Programming

In supported NICE programming arrangements, Mode 1 assigns transmitter buttons according to the standard receiver command mapping.

Mode 2 Programming

Mode 2 can allow individual transmitter buttons to be associated with specific automation commands where the connected controller supports that function.

Opera / BusT4 Extended Functions

When installed in a compatible NICE Opera system, BusT4 can provide additional command and programming possibilities beyond the receiver's four basic channels.

NICE technical data specifies up to 15 commands on BusT4.

Remote Will Not Program

If a transmitter cannot be memorised, check:

• Exact remote frequency
• 868.46 MHz compatibility
• O-Code protocol
• Receiver memory status
• Programming procedure
• Remote battery
• Control-unit receiver socket

433.92 MHz Remote Does Not Work

If a 433.92 MHz NICE remote does not work with OXIFM, this is normally expected because OXIFM operates at 868.46 MHz.

Use the correct receiver or transmitter frequency rather than repeatedly attempting programming.

Receiver Does Not Power Up

If OXIFM appears inactive, check:

• Correct installation orientation
• Compatible receiver connector
• Control-board power
• Damaged connector pins
• Control-board fault

Poor Radio Range

Reduced range may be caused by:

• Weak remote battery
• Incorrect-frequency antenna
• Metal motor enclosures
• Concrete walls
• Nearby RF interference
• Poor antenna positioning

Installation Procedure

1. Disconnect automation power.
2. Confirm the control board accepts the NICE plug-in receiver.
3. Check that OXIFM 868.46 MHz is the required radio frequency.
4. Insert the receiver in the correct orientation.
5. Restore power.
6. Program compatible 868.46 MHz O-Code transmitters.
7. Test every memorised command.

Do Not Install with Power Applied

Disconnect power before inserting or removing the OXIFM receiver unless the exact control-unit instructions explicitly state otherwise.
