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.
1. DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATION The FAAC 418 is an automatic gate operator for swinging gate leafs. It is designed for residential applications and can accommo- date gate leafs up to 12 ft long. The self-contained S418 operator consists of an electric motor that drives a worm screw housed in an aluminum casing.
2. INSTALLATION Technical Specifications Preliminary Checks Power Supply 24 Vdc The structure of the gate directly influences the reliability Nominal Power 35 W and safety of the automated system. To ensure correct operation, the structure of the gate must have the following Absorbed Current 1.5 A characteristics:...
2.2.1 General Rules for Determining Installation Values • To obtain opening of the leaf to 90°: A+B=C. If pillar dimensions or hinge position do not allow the installa- tion of the operator, cut a niche into the pillar (as shown in Fig. •...

Install the rear bracket as shown in Figure 10, so as to follow the A and B values determined previously. 2⅛ Fig. 12 1⅜ Fig. 13 Fig. 10 Dimensions in Inches Secure the rear fork of the operator as indicated in Figure Secure the front bracket to the operator as indicated in Figure 14 Fig.
Secure the operator to the rear bracket using the supplied bolt, as indicated in Fig. 15. Fig. 17 Disengage the operator’s manual release (see Par. 3) and move the leaf manually, checking that it completes the entire swing, stopping at the mechanical stops. If during this test the operator hits the leaf of the gate, the value E may be increased, (see Fig.
Move the mechanical stop until it is close to the front side of the bracket, as indicated in Fig. 22. Tighten the bolt. The mechanical stop is coupled to a toothed section on the operator's body, Fig. 21 Ref. 2. In case of difficulties moving the stop check that the coupling is free.
For repairs, refer to FAAC authorized service centers. NOTE: During the first cycle, the operator might not slow down correctly. Wait for the end of the cycle and then give the...

3. SAFETY DEVICE CONNECTIONS Entrapment protection To comply with the UL325 standard for gate operators every Connection of One Pair of Monitored Closing Photocells entrapment zone, as defined in ASTMF2200, must be pro- tected by two independent entrapment protection devices. One of the devices is inherent in the E024U control boards design, the other can be external, like a photocell or an edge sensor.

Only one monitored photocell can be connected to the Connection of One Pair of Closing Photocells Closing or Opening safety inputs. More than one photocell (monitored), One Pair of Opening Photocells or other device can be connected to the safety inputs, but (monitored) and One pair of Opening/Closing they will not be monitored.
