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.
These instructions apply to the following models: work time (T) according to use frequency (F). The 844 gearmotor can operate non-stop at 70% use 844 ER Z16 CR, 844 R, 844 R CAT, 844 R RF frequency. The FAAC Model 844 automated system for sliding...
INSTALLING THE SYSTEM 4.1. PRELIMINARY CHECKS To ensure safety and an efficiently operating automated system, make sure the following conditions are observed: • The gate structure must be suitable for automation. For example, wheel diameter must be in proportion to the weight of the gate to be automated, an upper guide must be provided, mechanical stop limits to prevent the gate derailing must be installed.
5. Secure the operator to the foundation plate, tighten nuts as shown in Fig. 12. 6. Prepare the operator for manual operating mode as described in Section 8. Fig. 12 Fig. 8 4.4. INSTALLING THE RACK 4.4.1. STEEL RACK TO WELD (Fig. 13) Place the three Fig.

5.4. ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS Opening Safety Devices: Tripped when an obstacle is detected only during gate opening movement. They cause immediate reversing and resumption of the opening motion on release (see ~ VAC programming in Section 5.5.2.) Closing Safety Devices: Tripped when an obstacle is detected only during gate closing movement.

FSW OP - Opening Safety Devices Contact (Terminal 3): Connection of a pair of closing photocells and a pair of opening/closing photocells The purpose of the opening safety devices is to protect the leaf movement area during opening. During opening, in the A-AP-S-E-EP logics the safety devices reverse the move- ment of the gate, or stop and restart the movement when it is released (see advanced programming in Section 5.5.2).
