Montreal – Nice, a global leader and innovator in door and gate automation solutions, and smart-home and security systems, announced a pair of new residential garage door operators for introduction in the North American market.
The new operators launched through the Nice North America Door & Screen division (formerly Micanan Systems), based on Montreal. Having previously been available in European markets, both operators will mark the first residential door products made available for North American consumers.
“Each operator has a unique set of features that specifically address the growing and varying needs of North American homeowners,” said Mike Apergis, vice president of sales for Nice North America Door Division. “The introduction of residential products in the region compliments an existing, strong portfolio of commercial and industrial operators. We’re excited to bring them to market in 2020.”
Soon is the simple and practical guideless solution for sectional doors from Nice, designed specifically for the comfort of professionals and ease of use by homeowners.
Convenient Installation: Its compact design makes assembly directly onto the shaft of a sectional door simple and fast, and maintenance can be conducted without having to dismount the motor.
Practical & Reliable: Simplified connectivity between the control unit and optional accessories coupled with rigorous testing and quality control processes ensure long-term dependability. And the included battery back-up delivers continuous power when it's needed most.
Versatile: The system can be installed in limited spaces or contexts where configuration of the garage prevents traditional ceiling installations, making it ideal for both residential and commercial applications.
Spy is the first Nice traveling motor for sectional up-and-over garage doors, built for easy installation and integration.
Easy Integration: Spy integrates with and travels along existing garage guide rails and is installed without chains or other noisy mechanisms.
Simple Controls & Installation: Spy systems are easy to control from either the sleek wall-mounted unit or the Nice Era remote control. Thanks to the quick setup procedure, the unit automatically detects all connected devices, allowing for easy installation.
Innovative Safety Features: The system comes equipped with obstacle detection and entrapment avoidance systems that immediately reverse movement if the garage door encounters an object or person. Quickly release or lock the motor in any position along the guide rails to guarantee maximum safety, even during power outages.
To manage the Soon and Spy, Nice offers a vast range of practical, functional and colorful transmitters. The MyNice Welcome app also can be used to control the garage door operators via a smartphone or smartwatch app thanks to the IT4WiFi interface.
