IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Important Safety Instructions Important Installation Instructions WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE 1. Install the gate operator only when the following INJURY OR DEATH: conditions have been met: • READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. • The operator is appropriate for the type and usage class of the gate.
• The manufacturer cannot be held responsible • Use only FAAC XS 55 edge sensors with with CN 60 for damage caused by improper, erroneous or E controller. unreasonable use. •...
Installing the Warning Signs This FAAC 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.
Restrictions and Warnings Gate operator controls must be placed far enough from the gate to prevent the user from coming in contact with the gate while operating the controls. All activating devices must be installed in a clear line-of-sight with the gate and Vehicular Gate Only its travel.
Entrapment Protection Inherent Entrapment Protection: This vehicular gate operator is equipped with an inherent (Type A) entrapment sensing device. The system will sense an obstruction in both the open and close cycles, and will reverse the direction of the gate travel upon encountering an obstruction. If the system detects a second obstruction before reaching the full open or close limit after the initial reversal, a warning alarm will activate and the operator will require a reset before resuming normal operation.
Post edge sensors help protect areas inside and outside of the gate and around the operator Fence Fence Fence Trailing edge sensor Leading edge sensor helps protect areas be- helps protect areas in Protect against all entrapments tween the gate and the front of the gate.
FS L 700 S lid e Ga t e Op e r a t o r The FAAC Model FSL 700 is an electro-mechanical vehicular slide gate operator. The direct drive 24V motor allows for smooth start and stop operation, with easy to set limit switches. It has a built in battery backup system and 2 accessory power plugs. The adjust- able chain idlers allow front, rear and post mount operation.
Concrete Pad Size & Location: The FSL700 vehicular gate operator is designed to be mounted on a concrete pad. Select a location for the gate operator to be installed. For pad location and size: Determine the location for the operator to be installed. (Front Mount v. Rear Mount) 24”...
Gate Operator Bolt Down To align the operator to the gate and bolt it down: Remove the gate operator cover and place the operator on the concrete pad. Position the operator with a distance of 3.5” from the gate to the back frame of the operator. IMPORTANT: Make sure the gate and operator are parallel and level with each other.
Chain Connection - Rear Mount Rear mount operators require the use of an endless idler assembly and twice as much chain. Approximately 1 foot of added open- ing space is needed. Once the gate operator is securely bolted down, the chain may be installed for a rear mount system. Adjust the chain idler sprocket inside the gate operator for a rear mount application.
Limit Switch Setup The gate operator uses a limit switch assembly to adjust the dis- tance of travel. These adjustments should be made before power is supplied to the operator. To adjust the distance of travel using the limits: Turn power OFF! Use the power switch on the side to assure AC and Battery power are both OFF.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION Power Switch Location The gate operator uses a built-in power switch to control power to the operator and controller. This switch should be turned OFF during installation and service. Failure to use this switch can result in unexpected gate movement. Please note: The switch is located on the LEFT side of the control box.
Battery Power Connection If AC power is connected, the system does not need the batteries to function. However, the batteries must be connected for the Power Fail Battery Backup features to operate. When AC power is active, the batteries will charge until fully charged. Once the batteries have fully charged, the system will stop charging.
Master/Slave Connection The operator can be used in a Master-Slave configuration to control the two leafs of a bi-parting gate. That can be done with a wired or wireless connection. The wired connection should be the default choice if there is a way to bring a cable across the gate opening.
GATE OPERATOR ADJUSTMENTS Reverse Sensitivity Adjustment The gate operator is equipped with an inherent (Type A) entrapment sensing system. The sensor detects obstructions in both the open and close path of the gate. There is an OPEN SENSITIVITY Adjustment and a CLOSE SENSITIVITY Adjustment. To adjust the sensitivity: Activate the gate to open.
Close Time Delay Adjustment The gate operator is equipped with a built-in automatic timer to close feature. This feature should be set to the OFF position un- til proper safety and reverse devices have been installed. CAUTION: Turning on the Close Time Delay without proper safety and reverse devices can cause serious injury, death, and property damage.

Photocell sensor connections To comply with the UL325 standard monitored safety inputs must be used to protect every entrapment zone. An entrapment zone is defined as a location or point of contact where a person can be entrapped between the moving gate and a rigid object. The operator has inputs for entrapment protection photo sensors in the opening and closing direction.
The operator has inputs for entrapment protection edge sensors in the opening and closing direction. Use FAAC CN 60 E edge sensor controller and the schematic below for proper monitoring.
Standard Reverse Connection The Standard Reverse Terminal can be used to re-open a closing gate. This N.O. input behaves the same as a Reverse Loop. This connection should not be used for Safety Reverse Devices. Use Edge and Photo inputs for proper Safety connections. Standard Reverse Input: The input is inactive when gate is closed or in the open cycle When the gate is open and Time Delay Close is ON, an input...
Access Control Connection Access Control Devices such as Telephone Entry Systems, Digital Locks and Card Readers may be connected to the Access Input to control the gate operator. When an Access Device is active, the Access LED will light. Access Input: TELEPHONE ENTRY Allows external Access Control Devices to activate the gate.
Radio Receiver Connections Radio Controls may be connected to the Radio Inputs to control the gate operator. When a Radio Control is active, the Radio LED will light. Radio Input: Allows Radio Controls to activate the gate and provides 24VDC Receiver Connecting Generic Radio Receivers: N.O.
Warning Light connection An external Warning Light may be connected to the gate operator. The light will be active while the gate is in motion both opening and closing LIGHT Warning light input: Allows external Warning Light to be active during gate motion. This output is N.O.
LOOP & LOOP DETECTOR Basic loop layout The following diagram shows a typical slide gate application for two-way traffic or exit traffic. For one-way entry traffic, the exit loop is not needed. (This diagram is a basic loop layout and does not show safety devices, pedestrian gate, fencing, etc. Refer to “IM- PORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION”...
Plug-in loop detector connections The gate operator may utilize standard 10 pins Plug-in Loop Detectors to simplify installation, save space and eliminate extra wir- ing. There are three plug-in terminals (Shadow, Reverse, Open) located on the gate controller. Detectors plugged into a specific socket will perform that function.
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS Fault Light Count The gate operator control board has a Fault Light to help determine fault shutdowns. If the operator is not functioning properly, remove the cover and check the Fault Light for the operator Fault Status. Use the following chart to determine the Fault: Number of Fault Description Cause &...
