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.
400 OPERATOR 1.1 DIMENSIONS 1 DESCRIPTION AND TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS The FAAC Model 400 Swing Gate Operator consists of an electric pump and a hydraulic piston which transmits drive Figure 2 to the gate leaf. Models with hydraulic locking do not require the installation of electric locks, as they provide mechanical locking of the leaf when the motor is not operating.
2 INSTALLATION 2.3 GENERAL RULES 2.1 PRELIMINARY CHECKS If the dimensions indicated in table A or B cannot be achieved, the following must be considered in order to To ensure a correctly operating automated system, the calculate different measurements: structure of the gate must satisfy the following requirements: •...

Secure the operator to the rear attachment with the supplied screws (Fig. 6). Figure 8 Screw, halfway down, the front attachment onto the rod (Fig. 8, Ref.1). Tighten with the supplied nut. Release the operator (see Section 5). Fully extend the rod out to its stopping point, then push it back approximately 1/4 inch (Fig.
15.) Connect the power cable to the operator and fasten the screws (Figure 14A). 2.5 BY-PASS VALVES ADJUSTMENT The Model 400 has an anti-crushing safety device which limits the operator’s force when an obstacle is encountered while the gate is moving. Follow these steps to adjust the intervention...

Select the When you have finished installing the unit, run a functional operator according to leaf length as detailed in Table 1. check of the automated system and all accessories con- Installation dimensions are provided in Table C.
7 POSITIVE STOP ACCESSORY With the use of the proper square shaped swivel joint (sup- plied): In case the gate doesn’t have built in mechanical stops, it is possible to install, directly on the operator, an accessory to limit the rod’s travel in both directions. (P/N: 490109 STANDARD, 490043 EG) It’s possible to limit the rod’s travel and create two solid mechanical stop positions.
• Now look into the body of the machine and to the left, the fluid should be up to the center of the tie rod (top for 400 standard or center for 400 EG when the piston is fully retracted) •...

7. Operating Logics The following table displays the sequence of functions This is a brief description of the main operating logics of the accessible in BASIC PROGRAMMING: system. For a complete description please refer to Table 3 • A (automatic): The gate opens on command and BASIC PROGRAMMING press automatically closes after a pause phase.

Display Function Default Advanced Programming: INDICATOR-LIGHT: To access ADVANCED PROGRAMMING, press and hold key F and then press key +: is selected, the output functions as a standard indicator-light (lighted at opening and • Release key +, the unit displays the name of the first pause, flashing at closing, and off when gate is function.
(red and black wires) on the 455 D control board. 7. Check force setting of the motors, modify if necessary. Note: For hydraulic operators, like the 400, force should be programmed to maximum level (50) 8. Stop leaf movement with a STOP command.
- SIMPLE LEARNING (Without Slow Down): 11. Final Tests Check that the leaves are closed. Enter “BASIC PROGRAMMING,” select the TIME LEARNING function and Once programming is complete and the proper operating then press the + push-button for 1 second. The display times are stored in the board’s memory perform a begins flashing and the leaves begin to open.
12. Operating Modes Detailed Description (1) If maintained, it prolongs the pause until disabled by the command (timer function) (2) If a new pulse occurs within 2 seconds after reversing, it immediately stops operation. (3) During the partial opening cycle, an OPEN A pulse causes total opening. NB.: Effects on other active pulse inputs in brackets.

13. Prewired Enclosure The 455D board can be easily installed in a prewired enclosure supplied by FAAC that integrates a number of functions: Power ON-OFF switch and accessory power outlet, loop detector sockets prewired to the board, large terminal strips to easily connect activations, accessories and safeties.

AC Power Wiring Guidelines 230 V Check local wiring codes in all cases and follow all 115 V local building codes. Wiring and hookup should be performed by qualified electricians/installers only. AC power should be supplied from a circuit breaker panel and must have its own dedicated circuit breaker.
