SPIN-BB-PH – BlueBus NICEcompatible adjustable outdoor photocells

The SPIN-BB-PH are digital through-beam photocells for gate and door automation, designed to be fully compatible with the BlueBus protocol (NICE).
Thanks to the 180° mechanical rotation of the optical head and the connection on a 2-wire bus, they simplify installation and reduce commissioning times, making it the ideal plug&play solution to replace an existing BlueBus pair without system modifications.

What they do

• They directly replace a pair of NICE photocells with BlueBus technology.

• They allow the installation and management of several coded pairs on the same system (useful on long gates or with several safety lines).

• They facilitate alignment thanks to the status LEDs and the swivel head.

Main features

• Compatibility: BlueBus (NICE), direct connection on bus line.

• 180° adjustable optical head for easy alignment.

• Self-learning in the control panel: automatic recognition of connected devices during the procedure.

• Multi-level transmit power adjustment to suit the site and reduce noise.

• Anti-interference channels: possibility to configure several operating channels for the coexistence of several pairs on the same system.

• LED signaling on receiver/transmitter for alignment and diagnostics.

• Bus power supply (no separate power supply, no dry contact).

• Installation: on the wall or on columns; TX and RX front.

• Self-diagnosis: quick check of set type, power level and communication status.

• Compliance: RoHS.

• Typical field of work: residential and condominium pedestrian/vehicular gates.

• Indicative operating temperature range: -10 °C ~ +50 °C.

Compatibility & Replacements

• Designed for systems with BlueBus control panels and accessories (NICE)

• Ideal as a 1:1 spare part when the existing line is on BlueBus buses and does not include traditional dry contacts.

Installation Notes

• Observe polarity/connection of the existing BlueBus bus line.

• Perform self-learning from the control panel after installation.

• Set channels/power as needed to avoid interference when multiple pairs are present.
