750 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 photo-beams 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.

THE 750 OPERATOR
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
The FAAC 750 Operator is an automatic gate operator
for a swinging gate leaf. It can accommodate a gate leaf
of up to 1760 lb (800 kg) and up to 13 ft (4 m) in
length.
The 750 Operator is a two piece unit consisting of a
hydraulic power (or pump) unit and a hydraulic ram (or
drive) unit which are connected by the means of two
hydraulic hoses.
The 750 Operator can be used to swing the gate leaf
inward or outward. Some versions provide hydraulic
locking in at least one position, either opened or closed,
depending on how it was ordered.
The hydraulic lock is a service device rather than a
security device. Additional, external locks are
recommended under the following conditions:
• You are installing the Model 750 SB.
• The length of the gate leaf is 7 ft or more.
• The installation requires tight security.
• The site is subject to vandalism.
• The site is subject to strong or very gusty wind.
• You are installing a solid face gate.
For gates with two leaves, two operators are installed,
one on each leaf, and both are wired to one control
panel. In such two-operator gate installations, one leaf
can be programmed to open/ close slightly later than
the other leaf to accommodate overlapping gate
designs.
For its protection, the single-phase, bidirectional motor
shuts off automatically if its operating temperature
reaches 212 deg F (100 deg C). Also for the protection
and proper operation of the 750 Operator, each gate
leaf on which it is installed must have a fixed positive
stop in both the opened and closed positions.
The 750 Operator also includes a key operated Manual
Release mechanism and two bypass valves that precisely
control the force applied to the gate leaf through the
750 Operator.
The Manual Release mechanism is a lever that
disengages (or engages) the hydraulic system of the 750
Operator. When the hydraulic system 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.
Additional reversing devices (such as inductive loops
and photocells) should be installed to provide more
complete protection for people and property.
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.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Note: The following installation instructions assume
you are fully capable of installing a gate operator.
This manual does not instruct you in designing a
gate, installing a gate, or basic electrical wiring. The
installation tasks discussed in this manual are tasks
particular to the 750 Operator
.
PREPARINGTHE GATE
Before you install the 750 Operator, you must insure
that the gate leaf meets the following criteria.
1. The gate leaf must not exceed the weight and
length constraints for 750 Operator that you
have.
June, 2004
750 Operator And
455 D Control Panel Installation Manual
Page 7
2. The distance between the gate post and the
center of the gate hinge must be at least 2 3/8
in. (6 cm).
3. Make sure the gate leaf has positive stops in
both the opening and closing directions (see
Figure 3).
Note: If you are installing the 750 Operator with an
extension arm, some of the constraints about the
gate leaf may not apply to you. See the section
"Installing an Extension Arm" for more information
on page 14 & 15.
INSTALLINGTHE 750 OPERATOR
Installing the 750 Operator consists of the
following steps:
• Setting the concrete forms
• Installing the power unit
• Installing the drive unit
• Connecting the hydraulic lines
• Synchronizing the hydraulic system
• Installing the gate leaf shoe
• Installing the gate leaf
• Installing the control panel
• Adjusting the hydraulic pressures for the
operator
• Checking the motor rotation
• Bleeding the hydraulic system
• Adjusting the bypass valves
SETTHE CONCRETE FORMS
You need to lay out the concrete forms according to the
dimensions shown in Figures 3 and 4. (Your soil
conditions will also determine the size of the cement
footing.)
Note: If the vertical distance between the finished
grade and the bottom of the gate leaf exceeds 1 1/4
in. (3.3 cm) as shown in Figure 4, you can install a
shear-pin assembly as shown in Figure 8 and as
discussed in “Installing the Gate Leaf Shoe.”
Accurately positioning the foundation plate beneath the
gate hinge is critical especially if it supports the drive
unit, which supports the gate leaf.
Note: The foundation plate may be supplied by the
installer. If so, it must meet the specifications
shown in Figure 3.
Note: Insure that the cavity where the drive unit is
located is well drained by means of pipes, gravel
drainage, or both, whatever is appropriate for your
soil conditions.
After the concrete is poured in the form and before it
has a chance to set, insert the foundation plate into the
cement and position it so that it is flush with the top of
the concrete and is level.
Allow the concrete to set a minimum of two full days
before you install the drive unit on top of it.

INSTALLTHE POWER UNIT
Figure 5 shows important dimensions and parts of the
vinyl power unit box.
There are two constraints to installing the power unit
box for the 750 Operator:
1. We recommend that you install the power unit box
so that the hydraulic lines between it and the drive unit
are no longer than 20 ft (6 m).
2. The power unit itself must be installed so that the
vent screw is on the top of the unit as shown in Figure
5.
The power unit box that ships with your operator
hinges on the left, but you can reverse the opening
direction of the door if necessary for your installation.
To reverse the opening direction, open the cover, and
then gently pull it off the box. The vinyl hinges can now
be placed in the hinge receptacles on the right-hand
side. Secure the hinges with the screws provided.
You may surface mount the power unit box to a vertical
surface or you may recess it.
To mount the power unit box use the 3/16-in. holes
provided (relocating the holes in the box will
compromise its integrity).
If you recess the box, keep in mind that hydraulic hoses
and electrical wiring need to enter the bottom of the
box.
Also, recessing must not interfere with the hinge
assembly of the power unit box. You need to keep in
mind the following dimensions.
Height: 14 1/4 in. (36.2 cm)
Width: 10 in. (25.5 cm)
Depth: maximum of 2
At this time, you also need to remove the vent screw
located on the power unit. The vent screw is in the
middle of the top, left side of the power unit as shown
in Figure 5.
Caution: Failure to remove the vent screw in the
power unit may result in erratic operation of the 750
Operator.

INSTALLTHE DRIVE UNIT
To install the drive unit, first make sure the four
leveling bolts on the base of the unit do not protrude
from the bottom of the unit. Then place the unit on the
foundation plate (see Figure 6).
Position the drive unit according to the following:
The side of the drive unit with the splined shaft should
be the side nearest the gate post.
The longitudinal axis of the drive unit is perpendicular
to (at right angles to) the fully closed gate leaf.
The center of the splined shaft is vertically aligned with
the center of the gate hinge axis (use a plumb line).
Caution:NEVER weld the base plate of the drive unit
to the foundation plate. Weld only the mounting C
brackets to the foundation plate.
When the position of the drive unit meets these
conditions, weld the C-shaped mounting brackets to the
foundation plate to hold the drive unit in position (see
Figure 6).
Next you need to prepare the two L-shaped "box halves"
for installation. Note that the lip on each piece should
be on top so as to support the top cover. Make the
necessary holes for the two hydraulic lines that run
from the drive unit to the power unit.
Once you have made your access holes, you can weld
the box halves to the foundation plate and to one
another so as to enclose the drive unit on four sides. Be
sure to protect the drive unit during welding.

CONNECTTHE HYDRAULIC LINES
Caution: It is important that the hydraulic lines
be kept clean of any debris.
The drive unit and power unit are connected by two
hydraulic lines, each with an outside diameter of 5/16 in.
(0.8 cm), an inside diameter of 5/32 in. (0.4 cm), and a
2,500 psi (170 bar) rating.
Caution: After removing the nylon piping, do not
rotate the splined shaft while you are connecting the
hydraulic lines to avoid squirting hydraulic fluid.
Remove the nylon piping connecting the two hydraulic
pipe fittings on the drive unit. Clean up any spilled
hydraulic fluid.
Be sure the hydraulic lines are free of any debris by
flushing them with a jet of compressed air. Then attach
one line to each fitting on the drive unit.
Next you attach the other end of the hydraulic lines to the
pipe fittings on the power unit (see Figure 7; additional
information can be found in the technical drawing on
page 21. Attaching the correct line to the correct fitting is
important. Make sure that the hose on the end of the
drive unit that is on the closing side of the gate/fence line
attaches to the hydraulic pipe fitting in the power unit
that is nearest the green bypass valve screw. This
connection insures that the green valve controls opening
pressure.
SYNCHRONIZETHE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Next you need to disengage the hydraulic system in order
to synchronize it.
Inside the power unit is the Manual Release lever that
disengages the hydraulic system (see Figure 1). Make sure
the Manual Release lever is turned toward you and down
to disengage the hydraulic system.
Now you can synchronize (set) the hydraulic system to the
closed position by turning the splined shaft in the closing
direction. Turn the shaft as far as it will go. To prevent
the piston in the drive unit from bottoming in its cylinder,
next turn the splined shaft about 5 deg in the opening
direction.
The position of the shaft now corresponds to the fully
closed position of the gate leaf. The hydraulic system is
now synchronized (set).
Caution: The splined shaft must not be moved from
its closed position until the gate leaf shoe that holds
the gate leaf has been attached.
INSTALLTHE GATE LEAF SHOE
If the vertical distance between the finished grade
under the gate and the bottom of the gate leaf is
more than 1 1/4 in. (see Figure 4), you need to do one
of the following:
• Install a length of appropriately sized pipe
between the sleeve that fits around the splined
shaft of the operator and the gate leaf shoe.
• Construct a shear-pin assembly to accommodate
the extra vertical distance. The assembly is
welded to the bottom of the gate leaf shoe on one
end and to the sleeve for the splined shaft of the
pinion on the other end (see Figures 8 and 9).
Such an assembly requires a bottom hinge and
also protects the pinion and splined shaft in the
event something hits the gate with great force.
Installing the gate leaf shoe involves making the gate
leaf shoe, positioning it, and welding it to the splined
shaft sleeve. If you are retrofitting the 750 Operator
to an existing gate, these tasks require you to remove
the gate leaf from its hinges. If you are using a shearpin assembly, refer to Figures 9 and 10 to determine
what you should weld together.
The gate leaf shoe is designed to carry the weight of
the gate leaf and transfer the weight to the splined
shaft. The shoe surrounds the 90-deg gate-post
corner of the gate leaf to carry the gate and to act as
a lower hinge. The shoe is made of a U-shaped
section and a vertical section (see Figure 9). Later you
will weld the bottom of the U-shaped section to the
sleeve for the splined shaft (or to the shear-pin
assembly, which is welded to the sleeve).
Since the gate leaf shoe holds the gate leaf, both
sections must be made of steel at least 1/4 in. (0.6
cm) thick. The U-shaped section of the shoe must be
Figure 7. Connect the hydraulic line to the power unit.
See the technical drawing on page 21 for more infor-
mation.

Axis of rotation of the gate leaf
Weld this end of this pipe to
the bottom of the gate leaf
shoe, being certain you have
aligned the axes of rotation.
This 2 in. pipe (schedule 160)
has an inside diameter of 1.689 in.
Bolt or shear pin goes
through these holes and
the holes on the opposite
sides of the pipes.
Weld this end of this pipe to the
sleeve
for the splined shaft (do
weld anything to the splined shaft
itself). This 1 1/4 in. pipe (schedule
160) has an outside diameter of
1.660 in.
not
Figure 8. A sample shear-pin assembly
a minimum of 5 3/4 in. (2.1 cm) long and must be as
wide as the gate leaf is thick and must fit as tightly as
possible to minimize leaf movement within the shoe
(see Figure 9).
Construct the U-shaped section of the shoe and verify
that it fits around the gate leaf. Position the U-shaped
section over the splined shaft so that the leaf's axis of
rotation will fall within the minimum dimensions shown
in Figure 10.
On the U-shaped section of the shoe, mark the position
for the leaf's axis of rotation. Next, drill a pilot hole in
the U-shaped section to mark the axis of rotation point
and mark the position for the placement of the vertical
section of the shoe.
Next you need to position the sleeve for the splined
shaft of the pinion (or the shear-pin assembly) on the
bottom side of the U-shaped section of the shoe as
shown in Figure 9. On the bottom of the U-shaped
shoe section, center the sleeve around the pilot hole
that marks the axis or rotation. Accurately centering
the pilot hole is important.
Caution:NEVER weld the splined shaft to
anything.
Spot-weld the sleeve into place on the bottom of the
shoe's U-shaped section. If you are using the shear-pin
assembly, spot weld the sleeve to the bottom of the
shear-pin assembly, and spot weld the top of the
shear-pin assembly to the bottom of the shoe’s Ushaped section.
Next you must test the temporarily welded position of
the splined shaft's sleeve. Fit the shaft sleeve over the
splined shaft with the U-shaped section aligned in the
gate leaf's fully closed position. Verify with a plumb
line that the axis of rotation falls through the pilot
hole to the center of the splined shaft.
If the axis of rotation alignments are correct, then
permanently weld the sleeve for the splined shaft to
the bottom of the U-shaped section of the shoe.
Also, you now need to weld the pilot hole closed, and
you need to weld the vertical section of the shoe to
the U-shaped section of the shoe.
Lubricate the splined shaft with grease and place the
finished gate leaf shoe over the shaft in the closed
position.

INSTALLTHE GATE LEAF
If you are not using the telescoping shear-pin assembly,
install the gate leaf by placing its 90-deg corner into the
gate leaf shoe and then installing the top gate hinge.
Installing the top gate hinge may require the gate leaf
to be at a particular height. To raise (or lower) the gate
leaf to the proper height, equally adjust the four leveling
bolts on the base of the drive unit. The bolts raise (or
lower) the splined shaft and thus the gate leaf shoe and
gate leaf.
To test the installation of the gate leaf, first make sure
that the hydraulic system has been disengaged (the
Manual Release lever should point down).
Next, very slowly open and close the gate leaf a few
times to see if it moves smoothly and evenly through its
entire path. As necessary, adjust the leveling bolts on
the base of the drive unit to correct any problems with
the gate’s travel.
INSTALLINGTHE 455 D CONTROL
ANEL
P
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.
For the complete 455 D Control Panel Installation
Instructions, see pages 22 - 33 of this manual.
BLEEDINGTHE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
For the 750 Operator to work smoothly, it is critical that
you bleed the hydraulic system of any air. Before you
bleed the system, be sure that you have removed the
vent screw on the top, left side of the power unit.
One bleeding operation consists of the following:
• Running the gate leaf through three open-close
cycles
• Allowing the gate leaf system to sit idle for
5 minutes
• Releasing the air from each end of the drive unit
through the bleed screw holes (see Figure 1)
You need to bleed the hydraulic system before setting
the gate up for normal operation.
To run the gate leaf through an open-close cycle, make
sure the gate is set up for hydraulic operation (the
Manual Release lever is turned up) in the A mode.
Activate the gate once to open, pause, and then
automatically close. The gate needs to open and close
three times.
Then you need to allow the gate to sit idle for a full five
minutes. During this time, you can disengage the
hydraulic system (turn the Manual Release lever down)
and make sure that the top cover is removed from the
drive unit to allow you access to the bleed screws on
either end of the unit.

750 Operator And
455 D Control Panel Installation Manual
With the hydraulic system disengaged, open the gate
leaf by hand to a half-opened position. Re-engage the
hydraulic system.
If you have a CBAC model of the 750 Operator (with
hydraulic locking in the fully opened and fully closed
positions), then first try to move the gate leaf. If you are
unable to make the gate leaf move, then you do not
need to bleed the hydraulic system.
If you do need to bleed the hydraulic system, then next
open the bleed screw that is on the same side of the
drive unit as you are. Open the screw less than a full
turn. Next, pull the gate leaf toward you until just oil
(and no bubbles) comes out of the drive unit. Then
close the bleed screw.
Next, release the air from the other end of the drive
unit in the same manner.
Finally, test the automatic operation of the gate. If the
gate does not operate smoothly, then repeat the
bleeding process again.
INSTALLINGAN EXTENSION ARM
Some gate installations do not meet the geometrical
constraints shown in Figure 2. In those situations, the
750 Extension Arm option can be used along with the
750 drive unit, power unit, and control panel to install
an unobtrusive gate operator.
Using the 750 Extension Arm means that you do not
have to permanently remove any leaf hinges, the gate
leaf does not need to form a 90-deg angle on the
bottom corner nearest the gate post, and the relative
location of the rotation axis is not so restricted.
The geometrical constraint for using the 750
Extension Arm is that the center of the splined shaft
on the drive unit must be within 6 in. (15.25 cm) of
the axis of rotation of the gate leaf.
WARNING! The farther away the splined shaft is
from the gate's axis of rotation, the greater the
risk of danger from pinch points.
Install the drive unit so that the splined shaft is as
near as possible to the gate's rotation axis and is
directly beneath the center of the fully closed gate
leaf.
You need to position the extension collar (see
Figures 12 and 13) so that it smoothly slides within
the extension U from the fully closed to the fully
opened position. Note that the position of the
extension collar is affected by the overlap of the
extension bar and extension U.
Attach the 750 extension collar to the bottom of the
gate leaf with a 7/16 in. (1.1 cm) bolt.
Weld together the extension bar and extension U
according to Figure 13.
Caution: Do not weld anything to or on the
inside of the sleeve of the splined shaft.
Next, weld the outside of the sleeve for the splined
shaft solidly to the inside of the hole in the end of the
extension bar.
Follow the rest of the instructions for installing the
750 Operator. With an extension arm, you need not
worry about installing a gate leaf shoe nor about
installing the gate leaf in the shoe. Instead, you will
install one end of the welded extension arm over the
splined shaft and the other end around the extension
collar.
In addition, you will need to provide a washer
beneath the extension collar to keep the extension U
from falling off the collar. You also need to shield any
pinch points around the extension arm.

750 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 4 minutes.
Opening/Closing time: adjustable
from 0 to 2 minutes.
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.
N
OTE: An installation is U.L. compliant only
when you install the FAAC operators according
to the UL325 standards.

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
CONNECTTHE 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 1-CP and 2-CP). 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).

CAUTION: The operators are grounded only by
the grounded circuit the installer provides.
USINGA 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.
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.
Turn the main power off before
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.
CHECKTHE MOTOR’S DIRECTIONOF
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.

455 D with photobeams
NOTE: In order to comply with UL 325, two sets
of FAAC photobeams must be i nstalled. One set
shoul d be 6 in. outside the closed gate(s) and act
as a clos ing reversing device. Another set should
be 6 in. beyond the swing of the gate(s) and act
as an opening reversing devi ce. The installer is
responsible for determining the appropriate
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 4CP).
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

The LED lights are on whenever the contacts are closed
across each of the respective terminals.
OP_A and OP_B (Partial Opening) should illuminate only
when an activating signal is sent for 2 and 1 gate
leaves, respectively. STOP should be illuminated except

determine if the accessory devices you have installed
are operating properly.
Electric Locks: An electric lock can be wired to the
455 D in terminals 18 and 21 (12Vac pulsed
provided). If a reversing stroke is needed to allow the
electric lock to release, this must be done in advanced
programming.
See Figure 5-CP for the connections for a magnetic
locking device.
W
ARNING LIGHT: Connect a warning light to
terminals 18 and 20 in the group labeled W.LIGHT
in terminal block J1 and J5. The terminals provide
an output voltage of 24 VDC, maximum power 3
Watts. This output voltage will power most 24 VDC
warning lights.
N
OTE: The behavior of the warning light varies
according to the logic you have set.
L
OGICS A, S, E, EP, AND B: The warning light is on
steadily during opening and the pause phase. During
closing, the light flashes.
L
OGIC C: The warning light is on steadily during
opening and flashes during closing.
SET OTHER OPERATING CONTROLS
WARNING! Turn the main power off before you
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.
O
PERATING LOGICS
N
OTE: 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.
• 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.
P
AUSE 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.
L
EAF 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.
N
OTE: 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.

LEARNINGOF OPERATING TIMES
WARNING: During the learning procedure, the
safety devices are disabled
all traffic must be avoided in the path of the gate
leaf(s).
NOTE: Programming must start with the gate(s)
in the closed position.
Opening/closing time is established by the learning
procedure which varies slightly according to whether
you are or are not using Gatecoders.
! Therefore, any and
LEARNINGOF NORMAL TIMES
Normal learning (i.e. without Gatecoders) can be done
in two different ways:
SIMPLE LEARNING (WITHOUT SLOW DOWN)
Close the gates, enter “B
TIME LEARNING function and press the + push-button
for 1 second the display begins flashing and the
leaves begin the opening movement.
Wait for the leaves to reach the opening positive stop
and then supply an OPEN A command after the
desired motor run time has been reached (by pushbutton or radio control) to stop the movement: the
leaves stop and the display stops flashing. One more
command given will close the gate.
The procedure has ended and the gate is ready to
operate.
COMPLETE LEARNING (WITH SLOW DOWN)
NOTES:
• If you do not wish to slow the gate
operator(s) down, wait for the gate to reach
its positive stop and supply two (2)
consecutive open commands (within 1
second).
• If only one gate operator (1) is used, you
must go through the entire programming
procedure, as if you were programming for
two gate operators (2). When the operator
has finished opening, supply 5 open
commands until the gate operator begins to
close, and then resume normal operations.
Close the gates, enter “B

• When gate operator (1) reaches the positive
stop and the desired motor run time has
been reached, an open command must be
given to shut the motor off. At this point
gate operator (2) will automatically start to
open.
• 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 gate operator (2) reaches the positive
stop and the desired motor run time has
been reached, an open command must be
given to shut the motor off. At this point
gate operator (2) will automatically start to
close.
• 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 gate operator (2) reaches the positive
stop and the desired motor run time has
been reached, an open command must be
given to shut the motor off. At this point
gate operator (1) will automatically start to

• When gate operator (1) reaches the positive
stop and the desired motor run time has
been reached, an open command must be
given to shut the motor off.
The display stops flashing and the gate is ready for
normal operation.
LEARNING TIMESWITH GATECODER
Learning with the Gatecoder can be done in two
different ways:
SIMPLE LEARNING
Close the gates, enter “Basic Programming”, select the
TIME LEARNING function and press the + push-button
for 1 second: the display begins flashing and the
leaves begin the opening movement.
The movement stops automatically when the opening
positive stop is reached and the display stops
flashing.

operate, using default slow down automatically set
by the control panel.
COMPLETE LEARNING
NOTES:
• 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

• 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.
N
OTES:
• 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 750 OPERATOR
The FAAC recommended maintenance schedule varies
according to the frequency of use of the operators,
whether lightly used operators (once or twice an hour)
or heavily used operators (many cycles per hour).
Check the oil.
To check the oil level correctly, remove the oil filler
cap on the top of the power unit. A dip stick is
attached to the bottom of the cap for checking the oil
level as shown in Figure 14.
Light duty use: check once per year
Heavy duty use: check every 6 mo
Change the oil.
Changing the oil completely in the hydraulic system
of the 750 Operator requires removing the power unit
and drive unit from their installed positions unless
you are able to pump the oil out of both units.
Light duty use: change every 4 yr
Heavy duty use: change every 2 yr
Check the pressure settings.
Light duty use: check once per year
Heavy duty use: check every 6 mo
Check all reversing devices.
Every six months, you should verify that all installed
reversing devices work properly.

SAFETYIN GATE DESIGN
Page 35
• 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.
• 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 prevent such access.

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.
Problem:
The gate does not respond to an activating signal.
Solution:
Verify that you have correctly wired the operator to the
control panel.
Verify that the LED DL3 is on. If it is not illuminated,
then check the fuses on your control panel.
If the LED DL3 is not illuminated and your fuses are
okay, then the stopping device is being triggered and is
preventing the gate from responding to your signal. If
you have no stopping device installed, then be sure you
have installed a jumper across the appropriate
terminals.
Verify that your activating device works properly. Either
DL1 or DL2 (depending on your gate design) should
illuminate when you signal the gate to close (or open)
and LED DL3 should be on. If either DL1 or DL2 does
not illuminate when you signal the gate, then the
problem may be in your activating device. Short across
the appropriate terminals. If the short causes the
gate to close (or open), then the problem is in the
activating device. Repair or replace the device.
Problem:
The radio controlled opener does not open the gate.
Solution:
Check the light on the front of the remote transmitter. It
should illuminate when you signal the gate. If it does
not illuminate and if the batteries are okay, repair or
replace the transmitter.
Verify that the wiring for the radio controlled device is
correct.
Check the wiring for the antenna and correct it if
necessary.
Check DL1 and DL2. One should illuminate when the
transmitter button is pressed.
Determine if the fault is in the receiver by temporarily
connecting a push button device across the appropriate
terminals. If such a push button device opens the gate,
repair or replace the receiver.
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 hydraulic 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.
DL4 or DL5 should illuminate 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.
If the motor is running, insure that the bypass valves are
correctly adjusted. Increase the bypass pressure in small
1/4 turn increments to see if the hydraulic system needs
more pressure.
Problem:
The gate does not fully open (or close).
Solution:
Increase the bypass pressure(s) to see if the hydraulic
system needs more pressure.
Check the operator's motor run time selection. You
should set a time that is just longer than the rated
speed of your model of operator. For example, because
the 400 CBAC has a rated opening time of 17 sec, you
should select a time that is just longer than the opening
time.

750 Operator And
455 D Control Panel Installation Manual
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.
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:
Check the oil level in the operator.
Make sure the Manual Release mechanism has fully
engaged the hydraulic operation of the operator.
Bleed the air from the hydraulic system by cycling
the gate (opening and then closing) 10 times and
pausing for a couple of minutes between cycles.
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.
