instructions is prohibited and could affect the integri-
ty of the product and/or represent a source of danger.

2.2 LIMITATIONS OF USE

Comply with the limitations on frequency of use listed
in the technical data section.
The B614 requires the use of a specific FAAC arm
that conforms to the dimensions indicated in this
manual. Only the FAAC accessories indicated in this
manual should be installed on the arm.
The B614 requires the use of a FAAC spring that is
adequate for counterbalancing the weight of the arm

control and it must be complemented by suitable
visible signs prohibiting foot traffic. A separate route
for foot traffic outside the range of the arm must be
provided and properly indicated.
The presence of weather conditions such as snow, ice
and strong wind, even occasional, could affect the
correct operation of the automation, the integrity of
the components and be a potential source of danger
(see § 2.4). The limitations of use of the B614 in wind
is equivalent to grade 10 on the Beaufort Scale (max.
speed: 63 mph).
The installation must be visible during the day and
at night. If it is not, appropriate solutions must be
provided to make the fixed and moving parts visible
(light kit on the arm).
The B614 must be connected to a FAAC electronic
