IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Both the installer and the owner and/or operator of this
system need to read and understand this installation
manual and the safety instructions supplied with other
components of the gate system. This information
should be retained by the owner and/or operator of the
gate.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury or death
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL
INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Never let children operate or play with gate
controls. Keep the remote control away from
children.
3. Always keep people and objects away from
the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE
PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.
4. Test the gate operator monthly. The gate
MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object
or stop when an object activates the noncontact sensors. After adjusting the force or
the limit of travel, retest the gate operator.
Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator
properly can increase the risk of injury or
death.
5. Use the emergency release only when the
gate is not moving.
6. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read
the owner’s manual. Have a qualified service
person make repairs to gate hardware.
7. The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians
must use separate entrance.
8. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
When installing the photo-beams supplied with this
unit two things need to be considered.
1. Care should be exercised to reduce the risk of
nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle, trips
the sensor while the gate is in motion.
2. One or more photobeams shall be located
where the risk of entrapment exists, such as
the perimeter reachable by the moving gate
leaf.
GATE DESIGN
1. A gate is a potential traffic hazard, so it is important that you locate the gate far enough away
from the road to eliminate the potential of traffic
getting backed up. This distance is affected by the
size of the gate, how often it is used, and how fast
the gate operates.
2. The operator you choose to install on your gate
must be designed for the type and size of your gate
and for the frequency with which you use the
operator.
3. Your gate must be properly installed and must work
freely in both directions before the automatic
operator is installed.
4. An automatic operator should be installed on the
inside of the property/fence line. Do not install the
operator on the public side of the property/fence
line.
5. Pedestrians should not use a vehicular gate system.
Prevent such inappropriate use by installing
separate gates for pedestrians.
6. Exposed, reachable pinch points on a gate are
potentially hazardous and must be eliminated or
guarded.
7. Outward swinging gates with automatic operators
should not open into a public area.
8. The operating controls for an automatic gate must
be secured to prevent the unauthorized use of those
controls.
9. The controls for an automatic gate should be
located far enough from the gate so that a user
cannot accidentally touch the gate when operating
the controls.
10. An automatic gate operator should not be installed
on a gate if people can reach or extend their arms
or legs through the gate. Such gates should be
guarded or screened to prevent such access.
INSTALLATION
1. If you have any question about the safety of the
gate operating system, do not install this operator.
Consult the operator manufacturer.
2. The condition of the gate structure itself directly
affects the reliability and safety of the gate
operator.
3. Only qualified personnel should install this
equipment. Failure to meet this requirement could
cause severe injury and/or death, for which the
manufacturer cannot be held responsible.
4. The installer must provide a main power switch that
meets all applicable safety regulations.
5. Clearly indicate on the gate with the 2 warning signs
that are included (visible from either side of the
gate).

6. It is extremely unsafe to compensate for a damaged
gate by increasing hydraulic pressure.
7. Devices such as reversing edges and photobeams
must be installed to provide better protection for
personal property and pedestrians. Install reversing
devices that are appropriate to the gate design and
gate application.
8. Before applying electrical power, be sure that the
voltage requirements of the equipment correspond
to your supply voltage. Refer to the label on your
operator system.
USE
1. Use this equipment only in the capacity for which it
was designed. Any use other than that stated should
be considered improper and therefore dangerous.
2. When using any electrical equipment, observe some
fundamental rules:
• Do not touch the equipment with damp or
humid hands or feet.
• Do not install or operate the equipment
with bare feet.
• Do not allow small children or incapable
persons to use the equipment.
3. If a gate system component malfunctions, turn off
the main power before making any attempt to repair
it.
4. Do not attempt to impede the movement of the
gate. You may injure yourself as a result.
5. This equipment may reach high temperatures
during operation; therefore, use caution when
touching the external housing of the operator.
6. Learn to use the manual release mechanism
according to the procedures found in this installation manual.
7. Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance
operations, disconnect the equipment from the
electrical supply.
8. To guarantee the efficiency of this equipment, the
manufacturer recommends that qualified personnel
periodically check and maintain the equipment.

THE 412 COMPACT OPERATOR
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
The FAAC 412 Compact Operator is an automatic gate
operator for a swinging gate leaf. The 412 Compact
Operator is useful in apartment and other residential
applications and can accommodate a gate leaf up to 14
ft (4.3 m) long.
The self-contained 412 Compact Operator consists of an
electric motor that drives a worm screw housed in an
aluminum casing.
The locking the 412 Operator provides in the fully
opened and fully closed positions is a service device
rather than a security device. Additional, external locks
are recommended under the following conditions:
∗ It is a solid-faced gate.
∗ The length of the gate leaf is 6 ft (2 m) or longer.
∗ The installation requires tight security.
∗ The site is subject to vandalism.
∗ The site is subject to strong or very gusty wind.
For gates with two leaves, two operators are installed.
In two-operator gate installations, both operators are
wired to one control panel. In such gate installations,
one leaf can be wired and programmed to close slightly
later than the other leaf to accommodate overlapping
gate designs.
The electronic control panel is a microprocessor-based
controller that accepts a wide range of product
accessories and reversing devices, thus allowing for
flexible gate system design.

412 Operator And
455 D Control Panel Installation Manual
For its protection, the single-phase, bidirectional motor
shuts off automatically if its operating temperature
reaches 284 deg F (140 deg C). Also for the protection
and proper operation of the 412 Operator, each gate
leaf on which it is installed must have a fixed positive
stop in both the opened and closed positions.
Built-in security and anti-crushing measures of the 412
Operator include a key-operated Manual Release
mechanism and a torque adjustment mechanism that
precisely controls the force transmitted to the gate leaf
through the 412 Operator.
The Manual Release mechanism is a key-operated device
that disengages (or engages) the worm screw drive of
the 412 Operator. When the drive is disengaged, you
can open and close the gate leaf by hand. Such manual
operation of the gate is necessary during installation
and useful during power failures.
The torque of the 412 Operator is set during Basic
Programming of the 455 D Control Panel. (see page 20
for Basic Programming). FAAC recommends that the
gate leaf stop if it encounters a force of more than
about 33 lb (15 kg).
Reversing devices (such as inductive loops and
photocells) should be installed to provide non-contact
reversing operation.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installing the 412 Operator involves preparing the gate,
installing the operator(s), installing the control panel,
setting the torque adjustments on the control panel,
and setting other operational controls.
Note: The following installation instructions assume
you are fully capable of installing an
electromechanical operator on a gate. This manual
does not instruct you in designing a gate, installing
a gate (whether on masonry, wood, or metal posts),
or basic electrical wiring. The installation tasks
discussed in this manual are tasks particular to the
412 Operator.
PREPARE THE GATE
Before you install the 412 Operator, you need to prepare
the gate itself for the operator. Be sure to do the
following three things:
Make sure that the gate structure is solidly built. Add
reinforcing crosspieces if necessary to the gate leaves.
Make sure that the gate moves smoothly on its hinges
without excessive friction by swinging it opened and
closed by hand. If necessary, lubricate all the gate's
moving parts.
Provide positive stops for the gate leaves in the fully
opened and fully closed positions (see Figure 3).

MANUAL RELEASE MECHANISM
The Manual Release mechanism is a built-in release
device of the 412 Operator (see Figure 4). To access the
keyhole, remove the plug on the top of the motor
housing. Then insert the key and turn it a half turn in
the direction of the gate’s closing to disengage the
operator’s motorized operation. You can now move the
gate leaf by hand to open or close the gate. Operating
the gate leaf by hand is necessary during installation
and is useful during power failures.

NSTALLING THE OPERATOR
Once you have prepared the gate, you are ready to
proceed with the installation of the operator.
Follow the instructions below to install your operator
whether in an inward or outward swinging
configuration.
Installing the operator consists of the following steps:
∗ Establishing the orientation of each gate leaf and its
operator.
∗ Attaching the rear mounting bracket
∗ Attaching the operator to the rear mounting bracket
∗ Attaching the front mounting bracket to the
operator
Page 7
∗ Attaching the front mounting bracket to the gate
leaf
∗ Attaching the operator’s protective cover
∗ Installing the 455 D control panel
∗ Adjusting the torque for the operator
∗ Setting the operating controls
ESTABLISH THE ORIENTATION OF THE
O
PERATOR AND THE GATE LEAF
Before you begin mounting brackets or attaching parts,
you first need to establish the proper orientation of
each operator in relation to its gate leaf.
Figure 2 (page 5) shows a biparting gate from the side
where the operators are mounted. The operator
attached to the hinge on the left of the gate must be an
SX model. If the hinge is on the right side, the DX
model must be installed.
Installing the operator on the wrong side makes it
impossible to install the protective cover of the
operator.
ATTACH THE REAR MOUNTING
B
RACKET
Inward swinging gate:
You need to determine whether to attach the rear
mounting bracket directly to the post (or wall) or to
notch the post and install a recessed liner. Large pillars
require a recessed liner to house the rear mounting
bracket and part of the operator so that the pillar will
not interfere with the swing of the gate when it is fully
opened.
To determine whether you need a recessed liner,
measure the distances B and D (shown in Fig. 5) on your
gate. If your measure of B or D is greater than the
dimensions shown for your operator in Figure 5, notch
the post and construct a recessed liner for the post
mounting bracket (see Figure 6). The recessed liner
should be constructed of 3/16 or 1/4 in. steel with a
minimum interior height of 11 13/16 in. (30 cm) so as
to allow you to meet the required dimensions shown in
Figure 5. Make sure the recessed liner is securely
embedded in the post (or wall).
There are two parts to the rear mounting bracket. The
horizontal bracket attaches to the operator, and the
slotted vertical plate attaches to the gate post (see
Figure 8). Weld the two parts together and bolt the
assembly to the gate post of column. Note, though, that
use of the vertical rear mounting plate is optional.
Once you have positioned the rear mounting bracket,
attach the bracket to the post (or wall or recessed liner),
making sure the dimensions on your gate system match
those shown in Figure 5.

ATTACH THE FRONT MOUNTING BRACKET
TO THE GATE LEAF
Disengage the operator’s worm screw drive from its motor
with the Manual Release. Insert the key in the top of the
motor assembly, and turn the key a half turn in the
direction of the gate’s closing.
You should be able to lengthen or shorten the cylinder
covering the operator’s worm screw by pulling or pushing
the cylinder. Lengthen or shorten the operator to the
required distance for your gate installation:
Inward swinging: Lengthen the worm screw
completely and push the cylinder in 1/8 to
1/4 inch.
Outward swinging: Shorten the worm screw
completely and then pull the cylinder out 1/8
to 1/4 inch.
With the gate in the fully closed position, temporarily
clamp the front mounting bracket (previously attached to
the operator) to the gate leaf and insure that the cylinder
of the worm screw is level.
Move the gate leaf by hand to the fully opened position
against the gate stop and insure that the cylinder is level.
Next, you must determine that the worm screw has not
reached the full extent of its travel. Remove the operator
from the front mounting bracket and push or pull the
cylinder in the direction of it opening direction of
travel:
Inward swinging: You should be able to push
the cylinder in about 1/2 of an inch.
Outward swinging: You should be able to pull
the cylinder out about 1/2 of an inch.
If the worm screw was not at the full extent of its
travel when attached to front mounting bracket, then
with the operator detached from the front mounting
bracket, permanently attach (weld) the front mounting
bracket to the gate leaf (see Figure 10).
If the worm screw was at the full extent of its travel,
try moving the front mounting bracket toward the
hinge and retesting. If again the front mounting fully
extends the worm screw, then the rear mounting
dimensions are incorrect (see Figure 5 or 7, whichever
applies to your installation). Reattach the rear
mounting bracket as necessary.
Once the front mounting bracket is welded in place,
you can reattach the operator to the bracket.
