Nice Automation POA1 Control Board for POP Motors Instructions And Warnings For Installation And Use

Nice Automation POA1 is a control unit designed to control POP 24 V electromechanical actuators, for automated swing gates or doors. It operates on the basis of a current sensitivity system which checks the load of the motors connected to it. The system automatically detects travel stops, memorises the running time of each motor and recognises obstacles during normal movement. This feature makes installation easier as there is no need to adjust the working times nor the leaf delay. The control unit is pre-programmed for the normal functions, while more specific functions can be chosen following a simple procedure.

Frequently asked questions

The POA1 control unit is designed to control POP 24 V electromechanical actuators for automated swing gates or doors.

The POA1 control unit operates on the basis of a current sensitivity system which checks the load of the motors connected to it. The system automatically detects travel stops, memorises the running time of each motor and recognises obstacles during normal movement.

The benefits of using the POA1 control unit include: easier installation due to automatic detection of travel stops and running time, customisable functions, compatibility with emergency power supply and solar energy systems.

User questions

Mary D.

What to do if the gate does not close using the POA1 control unit?

Ensure safety LEDs STOP (L1), PHOTO (L2), and PHOTO1 (L3) are lit; if any are off, the system detects an obstruction or fault. Verify if the 'Automatic Closing' function is disabled (requiring manual operation). Check photocell alignment and ensure no mechanical resistance is triggering the amperometric sensitivity sensor.

Linda H.

What to check if the POA1 control unit clicks but the gate does not move?

Verify that safety LEDs (L1, L2, L3) are lit. Check the P2 diagnostic LED for error codes: 3 flashes (STOP active), 4 flashes (Phototest fail), or 1-2 flashes (obstruction/friction detected). Ensure the 500mA service fuse is intact and power supply is sufficient. If LEDs flash for 6 seconds at startup, the memory is empty and a limit switch search is required.

L L

Mary L.

How to start the automatic search for mechanical stops on the POA1 control unit?

Ensure safety devices are enabled and the gate leaves are half-open. Verify the memory is empty (LEDs flash for 6 seconds at power-up); if not, clear it first. Press the P2 button to begin the automatic sequence, where the unit measures travel times and detects stops by monitoring motor load.

How to diagnose a failure in the POA1 control unit using LEDs?

Check the P1 LED: a regular blink every second indicates normal operation, while a blink every 4 seconds indicates standby mode. If P1 does not blink, there may be a serious internal fault. Observe diagnostic LED P2 for specific error sequences: 1 or 2 flashes indicate motor current sensitivity activation (obstruction), 3 flashes indicate a STOP input interruption, 4 flashes indicate a phototest error, and 5 flashes indicate an output overload on the door indicator or electric lock.

T M

Mary T.

How to ensure the POA1 control unit operates in automatic mode instead of requiring a held button for movement?

Ensure the 'Automatic Search of Mechanical Limits' (learning procedure) has been successfully completed. Additionally, verify that safety terminals (STOP, PHOTO, PHOTO1) are correctly configured with their corresponding LEDs lit, as a safety fault or lack of memory will prevent automatic operation.

U M

Patricia U.

How to configure the POA1 'Step by Step' button to perform a full cyclic sequence (open-stop-close-stop)?

Ensure the 'Condominium' function is deactivated. To do this, enter programming by holding P1 and P2 for 3 seconds until LEDs flash. Press P1 repeatedly until LED L2 is selected. If L2 shows long flashes (active), press P2 to change it to short flashes (deactivated). Save the setting by holding P1 and P2 again for 3 seconds.

X M

Linda X.

How to deactivate condominium mode on the POA1 control unit?

To deactivate Condominium Mode: 1. Enter programming by holding P1 and P2 for 3 seconds until LEDs flash. 2. Press P1 repeatedly until LED L2 flashes. 3. Press P2 to deactivate the function (a short flash on L2 indicates it is off). 4. Save and exit by holding P1 and P2 for 3 seconds. If LED P3 is on during the process, press P3 once to return to Part 1 before selecting L2.

John B.

How to adjust the motor force (current sensitivity) on the POA1 control unit?

Enter programming mode by holding P1 and P2 for 3 seconds. Press P1 until LED L4 flashes. Hold P2 for 3 seconds to enter the second level, then press P2 to select levels 1-5 (Level 6 is all LEDs off). Save the changes by holding P1 and P2 for another 3 seconds.

M G

Patricia M.

How to adjust the force of the POA1 control unit?

Force is adjusted through 6 current sensitivity levels (Level 1 is most sensitive). Steps: 1. Hold P1 and P2 for 3 seconds. 2. Press P1 three times to select LED L4. 3. Hold P2 for 3 seconds. 4. Press P2 until the desired level LED is lit (L1-L5 for levels 1-5; all LEDs off for level 6). 5. Press P1 to return to level one. 6. Hold P1 and P2 for 3 seconds to save.
