390 24v Operator And
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).
Page 3

390 24v Operator And
425 D Control Panel Installation Manual
Page 3
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.

425 D Control Panel Installation Manual
THE 390 24V OPERATOR
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
The FAAC 390 24v Operator is an automatic gate
operator for a residential swinging gate leaf that is
ideal for large columns.
The self-contained 390 24v Operator consists of a
irreversible electromechanical motor and articulated
arm.
The locking the 390 24v 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
In two-operator gate installations, both (master/slave)
operators are wired to one control panel.
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.
Also for the protection and proper operation of the 390
24v Operator, each operator has available optional limit
switches.
Built-in security and anti-crushing measures of the 390
24v Operator include built in reverse on contact and a
torque adjustment that controls the force transmitted to
the gate leaf through the 390 24v Operator.
The Manual Release mechanism is a key-operated device
that disengages (or engages) the gears in 390 24v
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 prolonged power failures.
The torque of the 390 24v Operator is set during Basic
Programming of the 425 D Control Panel. (see page 19
for Basic Programming).
Reversing devices (such as inductive loops and
photocells) should be installed to provide non-contact
reversing operation.
WARNING: To insure that the installation meets the UL
325 Standards. A set of photo beam (Part Number
785163) must be installed anywhere that an entrapment
with the gate leaf(s) could happen.
The 425 D also has a built in battery back-up system
that can be used with the addition of 2 12V 7ah
batteries. The batteries must be wired in series to
provide 24VDC to the control panel during power
outages.
During prolonged power outages the manual release
may be used if needed.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installing the 390 24v Operator involves preparing the
gate, installing the operator(s), installing the control
panel, programming control panel, and connecting
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 390 24v Operator.
PREPARE THE GATE
Before you install the 390 24v Operator, you need to
prepare the gate itself for the operator. Be sure to do
the following:
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.
Positive stops are needed with the 390 24v Operator
unless you have purchased the optional Limit Switch Kit
(FAAC Part Number 390682)
MANUAL RELEASE MECHANISM
To manual release the 390 24v Operator perform the
following steps as shown in figure 3.
Page 7
July, 2006
390 24v Operator And
425 D Control Panel Installation Manual
Page 7
If the gate has to be operated manually in the event of a
power outage, use the manual release mechanism as
follows:
Insert the supplied Allen wrench (manual release key)
and turn it by a half turn until it stops in the direction
shown in figure 3, depending on type of installation.
Now the 390 24v Operator is manual released. You can
move the gate freely.
RESTORING OPERATOR TO NORMAL OPERATION
To avoid an involuntary pulse from activating the gate
during the maneuver, before re-locking the operator
switch off power to the system.
Fit the supplied Allen wrench (manual release key) and
turn it by a half turn until it stops, in the direction
shown in figure 3, depending on type of installation.
INSTALLING THE OPERATOR
Once you have prepared the gate, you are ready to
proceed with the installation of the operator.
To ensure safety and an efficient automation, make sure
the following requirements are met:
∗ The gate structure must be suitable for automation.
In particular, make sure it is sufficiently sturdy and
rigid, and that its dimensions are in line with those
indicated in the technical specifications.
∗ Make sure that the leaves move properly without
any binding during their entire travel.
∗ Check if hinges are in good condition.
∗ Make sure the positive stops are in place. (unless
you are using the optional Limit Switch Kit)
MOUNTING DIMENSIONS
Install the operator by using the following tables. See
figures 5 & 6. The outward dimensions are ideal for an
“overhead” outward swinging garage/carriage door.
MOUNTING THE BASE PLATE
The 390 24v Operator Base Plate can be used for either
Right Hand (DX) or Left Hand (SX) installations.
Note: The splined shaft must always face down.
∗ Secure the base plate to the column and check to
see if it is level. Figure 4.
∗ Fit the 390 Operator into the base plate and secure
it with the 2 screws, nuts and lock washers. Figure 7
∗ Assemble the articulated arm and front mounting
bracket as shown in figure 8.
∗ Attach the articulated arm to the 390 Operator with
the supplied screw and washer. Figure 9.
∗ With the operator released, established the position
of the front mounting bracket to the gate by
checking dimensions C in figure 5 & 6. The bracket
can be welded or bolted to the gate leaf. See figure

WARNING LIGHT: Connect a warning light to
terminals labeled lamp in the CN2 terminal block.
The terminals provide an output voltage of 24 VDC,
maximum power 15 Watts. This output voltage will
power most 24 VDC warning lights.
N
OTE: The behavior of the warning light is as
follows. During programming the light will flash
every 1/2 second during opening and every 1 1/2
seconds during closing. If you are in automatic
mode (A), upon reaching the open position, the
output will remain on for 5 seconds to inform you
that the gate will close automatically. It will also
flash for up to 10 seconds if the gate is open and a
safety is triggered.
The output can also be set as a courtesy light that stays
illuminated for 90 seconds. See the programming
section (G0 and G1) for further details
SET OTHER OPERATING CONTROLS
WARNING
make any electrical connections.
You need to program the control panel for your gate's
operation. The 425 D Control Panel has on board
programming that controls a wide range of functions.
OPERATING LOGICS
NOTE: The 425 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
! Turn the main power off before you

Page 17
during closing reopens the gate. A
maintained open command will hold the gate
open.
•
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.
The two programming push buttons allow the
programming of the force, logic settings, etc
WARNING! Turn the main power off before you
make any electrical connections.
PAUSE TIME: The pause time between opening and
closing is set during the motor run time programming
section.
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.
The opening leaf-delay time of 1.5 seconds cannot be
adjusted.
The closing leaf-delay time is adjustable from 1.5 to 10
seconds.
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.
SETTING THE DIP SWITCHES
Set the dip switches as follows:
OBSTACLE RECOGNITION
In the event that two obstacles are sensed in succession,
the motor(s) will stop. At this point the control panel will
require an activation signal which will cause the motor(s)
to run open and then close at slow speed to “reprogram”
the location of the open and closed limit switches.

ROGRAMMING THE MOTOR RUN TIME
NOTE: The operators will run at slow speed during the motor
run time programming phase.
The 425D features a self learning function for programming
the motor run time, pause time, and deceleration of the 390
24V Operator(s). Follow the procedure below to complete this
function.
1. Manually release the 390 operator(s), move the gate(s) to
the halfway position, and reengage the operator(s). See
figure 3, page 5.
2. Turn the power on. Ensure that the power led (DL1) is on.
3. Press and hold the P2 button until the display shows its
first value. (Example A1,A2,A3, Or A4)
4. Give the panel an open activation with any normally open
device wired to the OPEN A and COM terminals or the
FAAC plug in radio receiver. Motor 2 should close first,
followed by motor 1.
5. If either gate moves toward the open direction, touch the
two RESET (JMP1) pins, (see figure 2) with a small
screwdriver or piece of wire. This will cause the gate to
stop.
6. Turn the power off to the control panel and reverse the
motor wires to the operator that ran open. Turn the
power back on to the control panel and start again at
step 1.
7. Once the motor(s) is (are) running toward the closed
position, it (they) should do so until the closed limit
switch is reached.
8. After 2 seconds, motor 1 should begin to run open, after
and after another 2 seconds motor 2 should run open. It
(they) continue until the open limit switch(s) is (are)
reached.
9. When the gate(s) reach the open position, the control
panel begins to count the pause time. Once the desired
pause time (timer to close) has elapsed, give the panel an
open activation. Motor 2 should begin to close, followed
by motor 1. The gate(s) will run until the closed limit
switch(s) is (are) reached.
10. Programming is now complete. The display will show
“— —”.

MAINTENANCE
Page 21
THE 390 24VOPERATOR
The FAAC 390 24V 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 425 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.
July, 2006
PROBLEM: THE GATE DOES NOT RESPOND TO
AN ACTIVATING SIGNAL.
SOLUTION:
You should have at least one operator wired to
terminals APM1 and CHM1.
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. OPEN
A should illuminate when you signal the gate to open. If
OPEN A does not illuminate when you signal the gate,
then the problem may be in your activating device. Short
across terminals OPEN A and COM. 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 415 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.
