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.

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.
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
10
∗ Attach the operator cover to the operator.
∗ Attach the power cord to the control panel.
