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.

ATTACH THE OPERATOR COVER.
Once the operator is attached to the gate leaf, you
next prepare the cover for installation.
Caution: If you did not correctly establish the
orientation of the gate leaf and properly
install the DX model on the right side and SX
on the left side, you will be unable to install
the cover on either operator.
Position the mounting insert inside the aluminum
cover and then slide the aluminum cover into
position. Secure the cover and insert with the short
screws provided (see Figure 11).

INSTALLING THE 455 D CONTROL
ANEL
P
Locate the control panel enclosure in the most
convenient position possible, considering the movement
of the gate. Figure 12 shows a basic layout for a twoleaf gate with the 412 Compact Operator.
Installing the control panel consists of the following
general steps:
• Connecting the main power to the control
panel
• Connecting the activating device
• Connecting the operator to the control panel
• Checking the direction of the motor's rotation
• Connecting other devices to the control panel
• Set operating modes
The installer is responsible for grounding the gate and
operator systems, for providing the main power breaker
switch, and for making sure that the entire gate system
meets all applicable electrical codes.

412 Operator And
455 D Control Panel Installation Manual
THE 455 D CONTROL PANEL
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The FAAC 455 D control panel is used to operate the
following models.
Swing gate operators:
400 412
402 750
422 760
Barrier gate operators:
610/615
The 455 D programming controls the following:
Operating logic: A, S, E, EP, B, and C logics
available.
Reversing device behavior: Choose whether a
triggered reversing device during closing
immediately reverses gate movement or stops
the gate and reverses gate movement when no
longer triggered.
Torque or Pressure: Force adjustment for the
412 operator. Adjustable from 0 to 50.
Caution: For all hydraulic operators, the torque
must be programmed to the maximum (50)
setting.
Pause time between opening and closing:
adjustable from 0 to 240 seconds.
Opening/Closing time: adjustable
from 0 to 120 seconds.
Leaf delay on closing: adjustable from 0 to 4.1
minutes.
The 455 D control panel should be installed in an
enclosure that is conveniently located as close as
possible to the gate operator. All electrical
connections from the control panel to the operator
must be made in a weatherproof junction box.
The 455 D control panel requires a single-phase
power supply voltage (115 VAC [±10%] or 230 VAC
[+6 or -10%], 50–60 Hz). The power supply should be
protected by a 15 amp dedicated circuit breaker (not
provided).
The installer is responsible for grounding the
operator system, for providing the main power
breaker switch, and for making sure that the entire
gate system meets all applicable electrical codes.
The installer should refer to the installation manual
for a given operator for more information.
NOTE: An installation is U.L. compliant only
when you install the FAAC operators according
to the UL325 standards.
INSTALLING THE 455 D CONTROL
P
ANEL
Locate the control panel in the most convenient position
possible, considering the movement of the gate.
Installing the control panel consists of the following
general steps:
∗ Connecting the main power to the control
panel
∗ Connecting the activating device
∗ Connecting the operator to the control panel
∗ Checking the direction of the motor's rotation
∗ Connecting other devices to the control panel
∗ Set operating modes
CONNECT THE MAIN POWER SUPPLY
WARNING! Turn the main power off before you
make any electrical connections or before
programming.
Wire the main power supply to control panel terminals
in block J3 (see Figures 13 and 14). The installer is
responsible for insuring that a separate, grounded
circuit protected by a circuit breaker is between the
control panel and the main power supply. All wiring
should conform to applicable electrical codes, and all
wiring and fittings should be weatherproof and/or
suitable for burial.
Connect the ground to the grounding terminal in block
J3 and connect the power wires to the terminals labeled
N (neutral) and L (line).
N
OTE: For a 230V system, a neutral is not
needed. Connect one 115V line to the L (Line)
and a second 115V line to the N (Neutral).

ONTROL PANEL
WARNING!
you make any electrical connections or before
programming.
CAUTION: The operators are grounded only by
the grounded circuit the installer provides.
USING A JUNCTION BOX
If an operator is more than 2 ft away from the control
panel, you must use a junction box for connection.
Use a U. L. Listed cord grip where the operator cord
enters the junction box.
Note: If you have a one-leaf gate design, the
operator must be connected to Motor 1
(terminals 1,2, & 3)
To wire up motor 1, connect the white wire to
terminal 1(on the J4 terminal strip), the black wire to
2, and the red wire to 3. Wire each leg of the capacitor
(supplied) to terminals 2 & 3.
Turn the main power off before
Note: If you want to delay the closing of one
gate leaf in a two-leaf gate design, be sure to
connect its operator to Motor 1.
In order to wire motor 2 in a bi-parting system,
connect the white wire to terminal 4 (on the J4
terminal strip), the black wire to 5, the red wire to 6.
Wire each leg of the capacitor (supplied) to terminals
5 & 6.
CHECK THE MOTOR’S DIRECTION OF
R
OTATION
After you have connected the main power supply, and
the operator(s) to the control panel, you need to
check the direction of rotation for each operator
motor in your gate design.
Note: To check a motor’s direction of rotation,
you must have three closed circuits on terminal
block J1. Install one circuit between terminals 11
and 16, another circuit between terminals 12
and 19, and another circuit between terminals
13 and 19.

The terminal strip wiring of
the 455 D with photobeams
NOTE: In order to c omply wi th UL 325 , two s ets
of FAAC photobeams must be installed. One set
should be 6 in. outside the closed gate(s) and act
as a closing reversing devic e. Another set should
be 6 in. beyond the swing of the gate(s) and act
as an opening reversing device. The installer is
responsible for determining the appropri ate
mounting height.
You cannot check the motor’s direction of rotation
without these circuits (jumpers) or the accessories.
When properly prepared for testing, the LEDS FSWOP,
STOP, and FSWCL should be illuminated (see figure 16
on page 17).
WARNING! Running the operator—even for
testing purposes—without a connected reversing
device is potentially dangerous. Do not place
yourself within the path of the moving gate
during your test.
Disengage the operator(s) with the Manual Release
key (see operator installation manual), and open the
gate by hand about halfway.
Next, engage the operator(s) with the Manual Release
key so that you can check the rotation of the motor
(s).
To activate the operator(s) momentarily short across
terminals 9 and 14.
Turn on the main power and send an activating signal
to the operator. The gate leaf (or leaves) should open.
If a gate leaf closes, then you need to turn off the
main power and reverse the connection of the red
and black wires on terminal block J4 for the operator
controlling that leaf. Then you need to recheck the
rotation direction again.
After having completed your test of the motor’s
direction of rotation, replace any test circuits you
installed (between terminals 11 and 16, between 12
and 19, and between 13 and 19) with the proper
reversing and stop devices. The instructions for
installing such accessories follow.

make any electrical connections.
You need to program the control panel for your gate's
operation. The 455 D Control Panel has on board
programming that controls a wide range of functions.
OPERATING LOGICS
NOTE: The 455 D Control Panel provides inputs
for opening reversing devices and closing
reversing devices. FAAC strongly recommends
the use of reversing devices, such as photocells
or other non-contact sensors.
•
A (automatic): The gate opens on command
and automatically closes after a pause phase. A
second command while opening is ignored; a
second command during the pause phase
interrupts the pause time; a second command
during closing reopens the gate. A maintained
open command will hold the gate open.
•
S (security): The security mode is like A logic
except that a second command during opening
immediately closes the gate. A maintained
THE 455 D CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
open command will not hold the gate open.
! Turn the main power off before you
• E (semi-automatic): This mode requires a
command to open and a command to close.
A second command during opening stops the
gate. A second command during closing
reopens the gate.
•
EP (semi-automatic, step by step): This
mode requires a command to open and a
command to close. A second command
during opening or closing causes the gate to
stop. A third command then reverses the
previous motion of the gate.
•
B (manned, pulsed): This mode is designed
for guard station use and requires a threebutton switch (pulsed) to open, close, and
stop the gate.
•
C (manned and constant): This mode
requires constant pressure switches. One to
open and one to close. No pressure on a
switch stops the gate.
The three programming push buttons allow the
programming of the torque (or pressure), the pause
time between opening and closing, and the leaf delay
on closing.
WARNING! Turn the main power off before you
make any electrical connections.
For all FAAC hydraulic operators using the 455 D
control panel, the force must be set at its maximum
setting of 50 in order to supply the correct voltage to
the operator.
PAUSE TIME: The pause time between opening and
closing can be adjusted from 0 seconds to 4 minutes.
Time is adjusted in one-second increments from 0—
59 seconds. When 60 seconds is reached, time is
adjusted in 10 second increments up to 4 minutes.
i.e. if display shows 2.5, it means 2 minutes and 50
seconds.
LEAF DELAY: You may choose to delay one leaf on
closing for overlapping gate leaves. Be sure the
operator on the leaf for delayed closing is connected
to Motor 1. On opening, the leaf connected to Motor 2
is delayed 2.5 sec.
N
OTE: If an opening leaf delay is desired, it must
be enabled in the Advance Programming.
However, if enabled, you cannot adjust this
opening delay of the operator connected to
Motor 2.
The closing leaf-delay time is adjustable from 0 to 4
minutes.
NOTE: If the opening/closing time is set at less
than the leaf delay time, the delayed leaf closes
at the end of the closing time.

• If only one gate operator (1) is used, you
must go through the entire programming
procedure, as if you were programming a
gate operator (2). When the gate operator
(1) has finished opening, supply 5 open
commands until the gate operator begins
to close, and then resume normal
operations.
Close the gates, enter “B
the TIME LEARNING function and press the + pushbutton for more than 3 seconds: the display begins
flashing and leaf 1 begins opening movement. The
following functions can be commanded by the OPEN
A command (by radio control or key push-button):
• When gate operator (1) reaches the
position that you want it to slow down, an
open command must be given to start the
slow down phase. When the gate operator
reaches its positive stop, the operator will
automatically shut off.
• An open command must be given to start
opening gate operator (2).
• When gate operator (2) reaches the
position that you want it to slow down, an
open command must be given to start the
slow down phase. When the gate operator
reaches its positive stop, the operator will
automatically shut off.
• An open command must be given to start
closing gate operator (2).

• When gate operator (2) reaches the position
that you want it to slow down, an open
command must be given to start the slow
down phase. When the gate operator reaches
its positive stop, the operator will
automatically shut off.
• An open command must be given to start
closing gate operator (1).
• When gate operator (1) reaches the position
that you want it to slow down, an open
command must be given to start the slow
down phase. When the gate operator reaches
its positive stop, the operator will
automatically shut off.
The display stops flashing and the gate is ready for
normal operation.
NOTES:
• The open command to slow down the gate
should be given before the gate reaches the
positive stop to prevent the gate from hitting
the stop at full speed. The positive stop could
be mistaken for an obstacle and then upon
hitting it, the gate(s) would automatically
reverse on contact.
AUTOMATED SYSTEM TEST
When you have finished programming, check if the
system is operating correctly.
Most important of all, check that the force is adequately
adjusted and that the safety devices are operating
correctly.
If pressure adjustments on hydraulic operators are not
set before programming. It may need to be
reprogrammed for desired results.

MAINTENANCE
THE 412 OPERATOR
The FAAC 412 Operator requires no maintenance.
Periodically inspect the operator, however, to ensure
continued proper operation.
SAFETY IN GATE DESIGN
• 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.
• 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.
• Your gate must be properly installed and must
work freely in both directions before the
automatic operator is installed.
• 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.
• Outward swinging gates with automatic
operators should not open into a public area.
THE 455 D CONTROL PANEL
Keep the Control Panel free from spider webs, insects,
etc. Otherwise the Control Panel requires no
maintenance.
• Pedestrians should not use a vehicular gate
system. Prevent such inappropriate use by
installing separate gates for pedestrians.
• The operating controls for an automatic gate
must be secured to prevent the unauthorized
use of those controls.
• 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.
• Exposed, reachable pinch points on a gate are
potentially hazardous and must be eliminated
or guarded.
• It is extremely unsafe to compensate for a
damaged gate by over tightening a clutch or
increasing hydraulic pressure.
• 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

TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING! Before you do any work on the control panel,
be sure to turn off the main power.
NOTE: Any control panel specific information in the following applies to the 455 D control panel only.
Page 27
PROBLEM: THE GATE DOES NOT RESPOND TO
AN ACTIVATING SIGNAL.
SOLUTION:
You should have at least one operator wired to
terminals 1,2 and 3.
Be sure that you have the motor start capacitors wired in
terminals 2 and 3, 5 and 6 with the directional leads.
Be sure that the torque/force setting is at the maximum
setting of 50 in programming for hydraulic operations.
Verify that the LEDs FSWOP, FSWCL, and the STOP are
illuminated. If they are not illuminated, be sure that you
have closed circuits in the stop and reversing inputs.
Verify that your activating device works properly. OP_A
should illuminate when you signal the gate to open. If
OP_A does not illuminate when you signal the gate, then
the problem may be in your activating device. Short
across terminals 9 and 14. If the short causes the gate
to open, then the problem is in the activating device.
Repair or replace the device
.
PROBLEM: THE GATE DOESN'T OPEN (OR CLOSE)
THOUGH THE MOTORS ARE RUNNING.
SOLUTION:
Make sure that the motor is running in the right
direction, and make sure the Manual Release
mechanism has fully engaged the system.
PROBLEM: THE GATE OPENS BUT DOES NOT
CLOSE.
SOLUTION:
Make sure you have selected the desired operating
mode.
Verify that the reversing devices are working properly.
FSWOP and FSWCL should be illuminated except when a
reversing device is triggered. If either does not
illuminate, then one of your reversing devices is
preventing the gate from responding to your signal.
Check your reversing devices.
If no reversing devices are installed, make sure a circuit
is installed between appropriate terminals.
PROBLEM: THE GATE DOES NOT FULLY OPEN
(OR CLOSE).
SOLUTION:
Check the operator's open/close time selection. You
should set a time that is just longer than the rated
speed of your model of operator. For example, because
the 412 CBAC has a rated opening time of 13 sec, you
should set the time at 20 or 25 seconds.
Check to see that there are no obstructions in the path
of the gate or that the hinges are not binding.
PROBLEM: THE OPERATOR DOESN'T WORK
SMOOTHLY AND THE GATE JERKS AS IT OPENS
AND CLOSES.
SOLUTION:
Make sure the Manual Release Mechanism has fully
engaged the worm screw operation of the operator.
Make sure that a flexible gate leaf is not the problem. If
the gate leaf flexes, then stiffen the gate or use a slower
operator.
