Correct Capacity – 170 KG, Not 360 KG

The most important specification for this product is the lifting capacity.

The NICE RN2040 is designed for balanced rolling shutters up to approximately 170 KG.

It should not be advertised as a 360 KG rolling shutter motor. The NICE RONDO range uses the following approximate capacities:

• RN2040 – 170 KG
• RN2080 – 280 KG
• RN2480 – 360 KG

If a rolling shutter weighs around 300–360 KG, the RN2480 should be evaluated instead of RN2040.

For Spring-Balanced Rolling Shutters

The NICE RONDO RN2040 is specifically designed for spring-balanced rolling shutters.

The spring system must correctly counterbalance the weight of the shutter before the motor is installed. The motor should not be expected to lift the complete uncontrolled dead weight of an unbalanced shutter.

Important Shutter Balance Requirement

Before installing the RN2040, the rolling shutter should move smoothly by hand and the spring-balancing system should be in good mechanical condition.

Broken springs, weak springs, damaged guides, excessive friction or a shutter that is difficult to move manually should be repaired before motor installation.

Maximum Shutter Height Up to 7 M

The current NICE technical table specifies a maximum shutter height of approximately 7 metres.

NICE's descriptive section in the same manual also refers generally to RONDO shutters up to 6 metres, while the detailed specification table gives 7 metres. For product specifications, the current technical table value of 7 m is the better figure to use.

170 Nm Maximum Torque

The RN2040 provides approximately 170 Nm maximum torque.

This output is intended to automate properly balanced shutters within the official 170 KG lifting limit.

Torque capacity does not compensate for a damaged or poorly balanced spring system.

630 W Maximum Power

NICE specifies approximately 630 W maximum absorbed power for the 230V RN2040.

The corresponding maximum current consumption is approximately 2.7 A.

230V AC Motor

The RN2040 operates directly from approximately 230V AC, 50 Hz.

The motor uses directional mains switching for opening and closing and should be wired through an appropriate shutter control system by a qualified technician.

10 rpm Maximum Speed

The NICE RN2040 has a maximum rotational speed of approximately 10 rpm.

Actual shutter opening and closing speed depends on the effective crown diameter and the number of shutter turns required.

Mechanical Opening & Closing Limit Switches

The RN2040 uses adjustable mechanical limit switches to define the fully open and fully closed positions.

The motor includes separate adjustment mechanisms for the opening and closing limits.

Easy White-Tab Limit Adjustment

NICE redesigned the RONDO limit-switch system to make programming easier.

The white-tab mechanism allows the installer to disengage the adjustment wheels temporarily, making it quicker to set the opening and closing positions.

Mechanical Position Memory

The RONDO limit-switch assembly uses mechanical position memory, allowing the selected shutter travel limits to remain mechanically established without requiring an electronic encoder.

Direct Spring-Shaft Installation

The RN2040 installs directly around the rolling shutter spring-support shaft.

This makes it suitable for central spring-balanced rolling shutter systems and eliminates the need for an external side-mounted industrial gearbox.

Compatible Shaft Diameters

The current installation manual explains that the standard RN2040 sleeves are suitable for a 48 mm spring-support shaft, while other sleeves for approximately 33 mm or 42 mm shafts can be used where required.

Current NICE commercial literature also lists shaft/crown adapter arrangements for the RONDO family. The installer should therefore confirm the actual shutter shaft and spring-box dimensions before ordering adapters.

200 mm Motor Crown

The RN2040 motor body has an approximate outside crown diameter of 200 mm.

Compatible adapters allow the motor to work with suitable rolling shutter spring-box arrangements.

Electric Brake & Release

Current NICE RONDO catalogue information identifies RN2040 as an irreversible motor version with electric brake and release device.

The installation manual also notes that the unlocking system is available on models configured with an electric brake.

For your product page, the safest wording is:

“Electric brake and manual release on the supplied RN2040 brake-equipped version.”

This avoids treating every possible historical RN2040 revision as identical.

Manual Emergency Release

On RN2040 versions equipped with the electric brake, the mechanical release allows the shutter to be operated manually if required.

The release mechanism can be operated from ground level using the appropriate NICE release arrangement.

NICE MC200 Control Unit

The NICE MC200 is the recommended control unit for the current RONDO RN2040 system.

With MC200, the shutter automation can support functions such as:

• Semi-automatic operation
• Automatic closing
• Step-by-step commands
• Programmable Step-by-Step / Open input
• Programmable Stop / Photo input
• Photocell reversal
• Resistive safety-edge input
• Radio remote-control operation

Remote Control Operation

When the RN2040 is connected to the NICE MC200 control unit, the system can support NICE radio remote controls through the appropriate radio configuration.

Compatible transmitter families include selected NICE ERA INTI, ERA ONE, ERA FLOR and NICEWAY systems depending on the installed receiver and control-unit revision.

Safety Photocells

With a compatible MC200 installation, safety photocells can be added to improve rolling shutter safety.

When the photocell is activated during closing, the control system can stop or reverse the shutter according to its programmed logic.

Resistive Safety Edge

The NICE MC200 provides a dedicated input for a compatible resistive safety edge.

For commercial rolling shutters where the closing edge can create a crushing risk, an appropriate bottom safety edge should be considered according to the project safety requirements.

Automatic Closing

The MC200 controller can be programmed for automatic closing after a selected pause period.

Automatic closing should only be enabled after the correct photocells, safety edge and other required protective devices have been installed and tested.

Step-by-Step Operation

The RONDO system can be configured for sequential operation such as:

OPEN → STOP → CLOSE → STOP

through a compatible push button or radio command when programmed through the control unit.

Thermal Protection

The RONDO gearmotor includes thermal protection.

If the motor overheats because the automation is used beyond its operating limits, the thermal cut-out interrupts the power supply and automatically resets after the motor returns to a normal temperature.

Very Important Duty-Cycle Limit

RN2040 is not an intensive-use industrial shutter motor.

The current NICE technical manual specifies approximately 1 cycle/hour at rated torque for a 3 metre-high shutter, while the current product brochure gives approximately 4 minutes maximum continuous operation.

Therefore, do not describe RN2040 as suitable for continuous or intensive industrial operation.

Where RN2040 Is Best Used

The RN2040 is best suited to balanced rolling shutters that operate a limited number of times per hour, such as:

• Retail shops
• Small commercial entrances
• Workshops
• Storage rooms
• Small warehouse shutters
• Service entrances
• Commercial rolling doors within the 170 KG limit

Not Suitable for High-Frequency Operation

For warehouse or industrial shutters that open and close repeatedly throughout the day, a more appropriate industrial-duty shutter operator should be selected.

The motor must be selected according to shutter weight, height, balancing and operating frequency rather than only physical dimensions.

IP20 Protection Rating

The current NICE RN2040 technical specification lists an IP20 protection rating.

This is another important correction to keep in mind: RN2040 should not be described as a weatherproof outdoor motor.

The operator should be installed within the protected rolling shutter assembly and should not be exposed directly to rain or water.

Operating Temperature

The current NICE installation manual gives approximately -20°C to +55°C, while the current RONDO product brochure lists approximately -20°C to +50°C.

Because NICE documentation revisions differ slightly, using -20°C to +50°C on the sales page is the conservative specification.

RN2040 Dimensions

The 230V NICE RN2040 measures approximately:

• Diameter: 200 mm
• Length: 350 mm

This compact shaft-mounted design allows the motor to fit inside compatible spring-balanced shutter assemblies.
