Nice IRW sensitive edge interface is the professional wireless interface solution for sensitive flight detectors in door and door automation systems designed to connect safety sensors without cables to traditional control units (without BlueBUS) of Nice machines. This radio interface 868 MHz ensure rapid and secure communication between sensitive edges, transmitter modules and control centre, preventing incidents and automatically stopping movements in the presence of obstacles.
What is the Nice IRW interface and why it matters
The Nice IRW interface is a communication and interface between wirelessly transmitted sensitive edge detection systems and standard automation control units (stop & photo), without needing complex wiring systems or BlueBUS technology. It is the ideal choice for automated gate installations, barriers, industrial doors and other automation applications that use wireless security sensors.
How Nice IRW works
- The system is based on radio technology in 868 MHz band, which allows connecting wireless sensors (such as TCW1 / TCW2) to the IRW interface.
- When detecting an obstacle by the sensitive edge, the wireless transmitter shall transmit the signal to the IRW interface.
- The IRW interface, mounted next to the control unit, sends the wired signal to the control centre to stop or reverse the door or door movement.
This process ensures compatibility with traditional power plants without BlueBUS, thus extending the functionality of the automation system and increasing user safety.
Commercial benefits for the customer
- High safety in obstacles – quickly detects dangerous situations and stops the mechanism.
- Integration with command units without BlueBUS – ideal solution for existing or traditional central systems.
- Safe wireless communication up to 40 m – eliminates the need for complex cables between edge and control.
- Simple and flexible assembly – install close to central control, without unnecessary signal cables.
- Wide compatibility with Nice TCW1 / TCW2 sensors – allows the expansion of the safety system.
- Ideal for residential and commercial applications – automatic gates, barriers, industrial doors.
- Optimum cost and high performance – efficient investment for professional supplements and installers.

Where Nice IRW is used
In gate automations
Nice IRW interface is used to connect sensitive edges to automatic gate control systems so that, when detecting an obstacle during the opening or closing operation, the central stop or reverse the movement quickly and safely.
In barriers and industrial doors
In logistics or industrial applications where there is a risk of catch or impact, IRW ensures fast communication and integrated safety control, reducing the risk of damage and accidents.
Retrofitting systems
For older installations or systems that do not have built-in BlueBUS, IRW offers a modern interface solution without replacing the existing control unit.
How to install
Installation requires:
- Mounting the IRW interface next to the control unit.
- Connection to the signal terminals of the power plant (stop/photo).
- Combination with the transmitter of the TCW1 or TCW2 sensor.
- Test the functionality and optimal placement of the antenna for maximum signal.
It is recommended to consult the technical manual for complete details on wiring and configuration.
How to choose the right solution for your project
- If you have a modern BlueBUS control unit, you can use IBW.
- If the power station doesn't have BlueBUS, IRW It's the best solution.
- For complete wireless detection, combine IRW with TCW1 or TCW2 transmitters and adapted sensitive edges.

FAQ – real questions + answers
1. What is the Nice IRW Interface?
It is a radio mode for connecting wireless sensitive edges to control units without BlueBUS, ensuring the detection of obstacles in automation.
2. What sensors are compatible with?
IRW operates with the wireless transmitters TCW1 and TCW2, used for sensitive edges.
3. How far can the signal cover?
It has a communication range between 20 and 40 m under normal conditions.
4. Can it be used with any central gate?
Yes, but the BlueBUS-free and stop/photo inputs are recommended.
5. Can it be mounted outside?
Yes, depending on carcass and environmental protection, but must be protected against moisture (IP30).
6. Do you need complex wiring?
Do not – remove the signal links between the board and the control station by radio.
7. How to test after installation?
Simulate the obstacle detection to check whether the power plant receives the correct signal through the IRW.
