Installing the Warning Signs This FAAC swing gate operator is supplied with two warning signs to alert people that a possible hazard exists and that appropriate actions should be taken to avoid the hazard or to reduce exposure to it.
M o d e l S 41 8 S win g Ga t e Op e r a t o r DESCRIPTION The FAAC Model S418 automated system for swing-leaf gates is an electro-mechanical operator which transmits its movement to the gate leaf by means of a worm-screw system.
The structure of the gate directly influences the reliability and safety of the automated system. To ensure correct Technical Specifications S418 operation, the structure of the existing gate, or that to be Power Supply (VDC) fitted, must have the following characteristics: Nominal Power (W) •...
3.3.1 General Rules for Determining Installation Values If the size of the pillar or the position of the hinge does not permit the proper installation of the operator, a niche • To obtain opening of the leaf to 90°: A+B=C. will have to be made in the pillar (as indicated in Figure 6) •...

MECHANICAL STOPS Fig. 16 The S418 operator is supplied with mechanical stops on opening and closing as standard. These may be used in place of mechanical stop-points for the leaf. For adjustment of the stops, proceed as follows: 3.6.1 Mechanical Stop at Opening...
The mechanical stop is coupled to a toothed sector, Figure 21 Ref. 2. In the case of obstructions during movement, check that the coupling is free. DO NOT FORCE IT. Fig. 19 Tighten the securing screw once again. Fig. 22 AUTOMATED SYSTEM TEST Fig.
Manually move the leaf until the device engages and operations; these must be performed only and exclusively the leaf locks. by qualified FAAC personnel or FAAC service centers. Power up the system and perform several open/close operations to check that all functions of the automated system have been restored.
