IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION The operator instructions shall list the maximum number of open and close entrapment protection devices capable of being connected to the operator. WARNING - to reduce the risk of severe injury or death: b) The operator is intended for installation only on gates used READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS For gate operators that utilize a contact sensor (edge sensor or similar): One or more contact sensors shall be located where Gate Construction the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as at Vehicular gates should be constructed and installed in the leading edge, trailing edge, and postmounted both accordance with ASTM F2200: Standard Specification for inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal slide gate.
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.
2 INSTALLATION 2.2 INSTALLING THE DRIVE UNIT 2.1 PRELIMINARY CHECKS 1) Dig a foundation hole as shown in fig.4. Before you install the 750 Operator, you must insure that the gate leaf meets the following criteria.: To avoid having to create holes at the base of the post, •...
1 ¼ 4) Install a 1-1/4" PVC conduit for the hydraulic lines that reaches the hydraulic control unit (fig.6). The path of the conduit must have wide bends to facilitate the routing of the hydraulic lines (fig.7). 5) Place the drive unit on the foundation plate as shown in fig. 5/a-b, and ensure that it is not resting on the levelling set screws (fig.2 - ref.7).
3/16" The control unit fitting beside the green by-pass screw must 2.4 HYDRAULIC CONNECTION be connected to the drive unit fitting that is within the property The drive unit and hydraulic control unit are connected by two (fig.12-ref.B). The control unit fitting beside the red by-pass screw hydraulic lines, each with an outside diameter of 5/16 in.
(fig.15). Top up oil using only FAAC HP OIL. Top up the oil level using the references on the oil filler cap rod (fig.20). The provided FAAC HP OIL can fill a path of approximately 6 ft in length. For longer paths, complete filling use only FAAC HP OIL.
2.6 INSTALLING THE GATE 1) Manual release the system (see paragraph 4). 2) Turn the splined bushing (while on the splined shaft) in the closing direction until it stops. 3) To prevent the piston in the drive unit from bottoming out in its cylinder turn the splined shaft 5 degrees in the opening direction 4) Make the gate leaf shoe: - Construc the U-shaped section of the shoe as shown in...
(fig.15). Check the gate structure every 6 months. When required, top up oil using only FAAC HP OIL. Periodically check both the correct setting of the by-pass screws and the efficiency of the manual release system (see the corresponding paragraphs).
Semi-automatic B / Dead-man C Opening/Closing Time: Connector J2 - Rapid Connection to RP Receivers Programmable (from 0 to 120 s) The 5 pin J2 connector allows to plug in the FAAC RP radio Pause Time: receivers Programmable (from 0 to 4 min.) Closing Leaf Delay: Programmable (from 0 to 4 min.)

To comply with the UL325 standard for gate operators every entrapment zone, as defined in ASTMF2200, must be pro- ADVANCED PROGRAMMING tected by two independent entrapment protection devices. One of the devices is inherent in the FAAC operators or the Display Function Default control board design, the other can be external, like a pho- tocell or an edge sensor.

Only one monitored photocell can be connected to the See the following connections diagrams for example of Closing or Opening safety inputs. More than one photocell opening/closing safety wiring. or other device can be connected to the safety inputs, but they will not be monitored.
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 • E (semi-automatic): This mode requires a command to BASIC PROGRAMMING press open and a command to close.

Display Function Default Advanced Programming: INDICATOR-LIGHT: To access ADVANCED PROGRAMMING, press and hold key F and then press key +: : the output functions as a standard indicator- light (ON at opening and pause, flashing at • Release key +, the unit displays the name of the first closing, and OFF when gate is closed).
9. Start-up Rotation direction and force check: 1. Program the functions of the 455 D control board ac- LED Indicators: cording to need, as previously shown. The board has a two-digit display. When not in 2. Turn power off to the control board. “PROGRAMMING”...
11. Final Tests 10. Learning Operating Times Once programming is complete and the proper operating WARNING: During the learning procedure, safety times are stored in the board’s memory perform a devices are disabled! Avoid crossing the leaf complete test the system. Verify that the operator(s) run properly and, most importantly, check that force is movement area when this operation is carried out.
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.

230 V AC Power Wiring Guidelines 115 V Check local wiring codes in all cases and follow all 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.
