9) FAAC is not responsible for failure to observe Good Technique in the
construction of the closing elements to be motorised, or for any deformation
that may occur during use.
10) The installation must conform to Standards EN 12453 and EN 12445.
For non-EU countries, to obtain an adequate level of safety, the Standards
mentioned above must be observed, in addition to national legal regulations.
11) Before attempting any job on the system, cut out electrical power .
12) The mains power supply of the automated system must be fitted with an allpole switch with contact opening distance of 3mm or greater. Use of a 6A
thermal breaker with all-pole circuit break is recommended.
13) Make sure that a differential switch with threshold of 0.03 A is fitted upstream
of the system.
14) Make sure that the earthing system is perfectly constructed, and connect
metal parts of the means of theclosure to it.
15) The safety devices (EN 12978 standard) protect any danger areas against
mechanical movement Risks, such as crushing, dragging, and shearing.
16) Use of at least one indicator-light (e.g. FAACLIGHT ) is recommended for
every system, as well as a warning sign adequately secured to the frame
structure, in addition to the devices mentioned at point “15”.
17) FAAC declines all liability as concerns safety and efficient operation of
the automated system, if system components not produced by FAAC are
used.
18) For maintenance, strictly use original parts by FAAC.
19) Do not in any way modify the components of the automated system.
20) The installer shall supply all information concerning manual operation of
the system in case of an emergency, and shall hand over to the user the
warnings handbook supplied with the product.
21) Do not allow children or adults to stay near the product while it is operating.
22) Keep remote controls or other pulse generators away from children, to
prevent the automated system from being activated involuntarily.
23) Transit through the leaves is allowed only when the gate is fully open.
24) The user must not attempt any kind of repair or direct action whatever
and contact qualified personnel only.
25) Maintenance: check at least every 6 months the efficiency of the system,
particularly the efficiency of the safety devices (including, where
foreseen, the operator thrust force) and of the release devices.
26) Anything not expressly specified in these instructions is not permitted.

AUTOMATION FAAC 390
These instructions apply to the following model:
FAAC 390
The external automation 390 with articulated arms automates
residential swing-leaf gates with leaves of up to 3m in length, and
is ideal for applications on large pilasters without the need to
provide niches (sometimes required to observe the installation
dimensions of piston driven devices).
It consists of an irreversible electro-mechanical operator with
guard and an articulated-arm activation system to be fitted to
the gate with the appropriate accessories.
The irreversible system ensures the gate is mechanical locked
when the motor is not operating. No lock need be installed for
leaves up to 1,8 m. in length.
A manual release makes it possible to move the gate in the event
of a power-cut or fault.
To obtain anti-crushing protection, you have to use electronic
appliances with a torque control electronic device.
The automation 390 was designed and manufactured to control
access of vehicles. Avoid any other use whatever.
