Designed for Single-Phase Asynchronous Motors

The NICE MC200 is designed specifically for a compatible single-phase asynchronous motor.

According to NICE, the connected motor must:

• Operate at the same mains voltage supplied to the MC200
• Include thermal protection
• Include a mechanical device for limiting its travel
• Provide separate Common, Open and Close motor connections

This makes MC200 particularly suitable for conventional 230V rolling shutter motors such as compatible NICE RONDO operators.

Maximum 950 W Motor at 230V

One of the most important MC200 specifications is its maximum permitted motor load.

At a 230V AC supply, NICE specifies a maximum compatible motor power of approximately 950 W.

At 120V, the maximum compatible motor power is approximately 450 W.

The connected motor must remain within this limit.

Compatible with NICE RONDO Motors

The NICE MC200 is an appropriate controller for compatible NICE RONDO rolling shutter motors.

Depending on the exact motor electrical specification and installation, this can include models from the RONDO family such as:

• NICE RONDO RN2040
• NICE RONDO RN2080
• NICE RONDO RN2480

Always confirm the motor voltage and power consumption against the MC200's maximum output before connection.

Built-In 433.92 MHz Radio Receiver

The MC200 includes its own integrated NICE radio receiver.

This is an important feature because a separate plug-in radio receiver is not necessarily required for normal compatible remote-control operation.

The integrated receiver operates at approximately 433.92 MHz.

Compatible NICE Radio Coding

The integrated radio receiver supports NICE transmitters using the following coding systems:

• FLOR
• O-CODE
• SMILO

The exact remote-control model should be confirmed against the radio protocol before programming.

192 Radio Memory Locations

The MC200 radio receiver provides approximately 192 memory locations.

A memory location can store a complete transmitter in standard Mode 1 programming or an individual transmitter button assigned to a specific command using customized Mode 2 programming.

Remote Commands

Compatible remote buttons can be assigned to commands including:

• Open / Up
• Stop
• Close / Down
• Step-by-Step

Step-by-Step Push Button Input

The MC200 has a dedicated Step-by-Step input for a normally open push button.

In the standard configuration, this input can operate the sequence:

OPEN → STOP → CLOSE → STOP → OPEN

This is useful for a simple single push-button rolling shutter control.

Open-Only Step-by-Step Option

Using DIP switch programming, the Step-by-Step input can alternatively be configured for:

OPEN → STOP → OPEN → STOP

When this mode is used, closing can be provided through automatic closing or a separately memorised radio command.

Long-Press Open & Close Commands

The MC200 provides an additional useful function through its Step-by-Step input.

A prolonged command of approximately 4 to 10 seconds can force an opening operation, while holding it for more than approximately 10 seconds can force a closing operation.

This can be useful where several controllers need synchronized external commands.

Automatic Closing

The MC200 supports programmable automatic re-closing.

After the shutter reaches the open position, the controller can wait for the programmed pause period and then automatically close the door.

5–120 Second Pause Time

The automatic-closing pause time can be programmed from approximately 5 seconds to 120 seconds.

Automatic closing can also be completely disabled when not required.

Programmable Motor Work Time

MC200 uses a programmable motor work time.

This parameter defines how long the control unit supplies the motor after a command.

The work time must be long enough for the shutter motor to reach its own mechanical opening or closing limit switch.

Important: Motor Limit Switches Are in the Motor

The MC200 itself does not replace the shutter motor's mechanical limit switches.

NICE requires the connected motor to have its own movement-limiting device.

For a RONDO motor, the opening and closing positions are therefore established by the motor's own mechanical limit-switch system.

Photocell Input

The MC200 supports a compatible safety photocell system.

A receiving photocell can be connected to the dedicated Photo input, allowing the controller to respond when the safety beam is interrupted.

Photo Test Function

The controller includes a dedicated Photo Test output.

When correctly configured, this allows the MC200 to test a compatible transmitting photocell before a movement command.

Door-Open Indicator Function

The same programmable output used for Photo Test can alternatively operate a door-open indicator light.

The indicator can provide different signals according to shutter status, including closed, open, opening and closing conditions.

STOP Safety Input

The MC200 provides a configurable STOP safety input.

The input can be programmed for different compatible contact types, including:

• Normally Open contact
• Normally Closed contact
• 8.2 kΩ fixed resistance with reversal
• 8.2 kΩ fixed resistance without reversal

8.2 kΩ Safety Edge Support

A compatible 8.2 kΩ resistive safety edge can be connected to the MC200 STOP input.

This is particularly useful on rolling shutters where a bottom safety edge is required to detect contact during closing.

Safety-Edge Reversal

The STOP input can be configured so that activation of the resistive safety edge stops the motor and provides a short reversal.

NICE also provides a configuration to avoid reversal at the final closed position when a suitable additional contact is installed.

24V Accessory Output

The MC200 provides approximately 24V accessory power for compatible low-voltage devices.

The main accessory output has a maximum current of approximately 100 mA.

This can be used for compatible photocells and similar control accessories within the electrical limits specified by NICE.

Flashing Warning Light Output

The MC200 provides an output for a flashing warning light operating at the mains supply voltage.

The warning light can provide a visible indication while the rolling shutter or door is moving.

Condominium Function

The controller provides a programmable condominium mode.

When enabled, an Open or Step-by-Step command does not interrupt an opening movement. During closing, a new opening command stops the closing movement and causes the automation to reopen.

This is useful for shared entrances where several users may send commands while the door is already moving.

8 DIP Switches for Programming

The MC200 uses eight DIP switches to configure the connected safety devices and operating functions.

These settings control functions such as:

• STOP input type
• Safety reversal behaviour
• Photo input configuration
• Step-by-Step command sequence
• Condominium function
• Photo Test / door-open indicator
• Automatic re-closing

BusT4 & Oview Compatibility

The MC200 includes an IBT4N connector.

With an optional NICE IBT4N interface, compatible BusT4 devices such as the NICE Oview programming unit can be connected for professional programming and diagnostics.

IP44 Protection Rating

The MC200 has an official protection rating of approximately IP44 when correctly installed according to NICE instructions.

This rating should not be interpreted as permission to install the controller exposed directly to outdoor weather.

Indoor Installation Only

NICE specifically states that the MC200 must not be installed outdoors.

It should be installed in a suitable protected location, with cable entries correctly arranged to maintain the required enclosure protection.

Operating Temperature

The official operating temperature range is approximately -20°C to +55°C.

For UAE installations, the control panel should still be kept away from direct solar heating, water, excessive humidity and other environmental conditions that could raise internal enclosure temperature.

Compact Control Unit

The NICE MC200 measures approximately 127 × 111 × 45 mm and weighs approximately 300 grams.

This compact enclosure makes it suitable for installation close to a compatible rolling shutter motor where a protected mounting position is available.

MC200 Motor Wiring

The compatible motor connects to MC200 through three motor conductors:

• Open / Up phase
• Common
• Close / Down phase

The installer must confirm motor direction before commissioning.

Important: Do Not Connect Multiple Motors in Parallel

NICE states that multiple motors should not be connected in parallel to one MC200 unless the specific motor instructions expressly allow it and the appropriate expansion equipment is used.

For ordinary installation, use one correctly sized compatible motor per controller.

Compatible Control Accessories

Depending on the required installation, MC200 can work with compatible accessories including:

• NICE radio remote controls
• Wall-mounted push buttons
• Safety photocells
• 8.2 kΩ safety edges
• Flashing warning lights
• External radio antenna
• Key switches with suitable dry contacts
• Access-control relay contacts
• Oview through IBT4N

Access Control Integration

The MC200 Step-by-Step input can be triggered by a suitable potential-free normally open relay contact.

This allows compatible access-control equipment to command the shutter, including selected:

• Keypads
• RFID readers
• GSM controllers
• Intercom relays
• Access-control panels

The external device must provide the correct dry-contact command rather than applying external voltage directly to the command input.

NICE MC200 & RONDO RN2040

The MC200 is an excellent control solution for compatible NICE RONDO RN2040 rolling shutter installations.

RN2040 uses a conventional single-phase 230V motor architecture with mechanical opening and closing limit switches, matching the operating principle required by MC200.

NICE MC200 & RONDO RN2080 / RN2480

MC200 may also be used with compatible larger RONDO motors where the exact motor voltage and electrical power remain within the controller's official limits.

Always check the motor nameplate and current product documentation before wiring a larger shutter motor.

What MC200 Does Not Do

For accurate product information, the MC200 should not be described as providing functions that are not specified in NICE's current manual.

• It does not use an encoder for door position
• It does not electronically learn mechanical opening and closing positions
• It does not replace the motor's own mechanical limit switches
• It should not be advertised as having motor-current obstacle detection unless a specific supported system is documented
• It does not provide BlueBUS accessory wiring
• It is not a 24V motor controller

MC200 Is Not BlueBUS

The NICE MC200 uses conventional wired safety and command inputs.

Do not describe MC200 photocells as BlueBUS. Compatible conventional photocells are wired through the controller's 24V, Photo Test and Photo input terminals.
