422 AUTOMATION SYSTEM

These instructions apply to the following models:

422 CBCS - 422 CBACS - 422 SBS - 422 CBC - 422 CBAC - 422 SB - 422 CBC PED. - 422 SB PED.

The FAAC 422 automated system for swing leaf gates consists of an enbloc composed of an electric pump and a hydraulic piston which transmits drive to the leaf.

The models with a hydraulic locking do not require installation of electric locks, as they guarantee mechanical locking of the leaf when the motor is not operating.

The models without a hydraulic locking, require the installation of electric locks to ensure the leaf is mechanically locked.

The 422 automated systems were designed and built to automate swing leaf gates. Do not use for any other purpose.

3.INSTALLING THE AUTOMATED SYSTEM

3.1.PRELIMINARY CHECKS

To ensure a correctly operating automated system, the structure of the existing gate or gate to be built must satisfy the following requirements:

•Max length of leaves according to the dimensions of Table 1.

•A strong and rigid leaf structure.

•Smooth, uniform leaves movement, without any irregular friction during the entire travel;

•Existing hinges in good condition.

•Travel limit mechanical stops must be provided.

We advise you to carry out the metalwork jobs before installing the automated system.

The condition of the structure directly influences the reliability and safety of the automated system.

(*) Rod effective stroke (**) maximum dimension

c = The effective rod stroke is shorter than the maximum stroke, in order to prevent the rod from reaching its stop point internally, during the opening and closing stages.

3.2.1.GENERAL RULES FOR DETERMINING THE INSTALLATION DIMENSIONS

If the dimensions indicated in table A or B cannot be executed, the following must be considered in order to determine different measurements:

-to obtain 90° opening of the leaf: a + b = c.

-to obtain over 90° opening of the leaf: a + b < c.

-lower a and b dimensions will result in higher speeds.We advise you to observe the current legal regulations;

-limit the difference of the a and b dimensions to within 40 mm: higher differences will considerably vary speed during the opening and closing motion;

-for reasons of operator dimensions, the minimum Z dimension is 50 mm (Fig. 4);

-if the pilaster dimensions or the position of the hinge (dimension d) do not make it possible to contain dimension a to the required size, a niche must be made in the pilaster as shown in Fig. 5;

-dimension a must always be larger than dimension E.

For installations opening toward the outside, refer to paragraph 9.1.

(1) Length of dimension “a” - 50 mm.

Fig. 5

(2) Length of dimension “b” + 50 mm.

3.3. INSTALLATION OF THE OPERATORS

1) Fasten the rear attachment on the pilaster, following the indications in Tables A/B. Modify, if necessary, the length of the supplied attachment.

Attention: To avoid compromising good operator functionality,we recommend you to respect the indicated

dimensions.

• For iron pilasters, accurately weld the rear attachment (ref. , Fig. 6) directly on the pilaster.

• For masonry pilasters,select one of the following solutions: A) appropriately lay a walling-in plate and then

accurately weld the rear attachment.

B) secure, with screws and expansion plugs, the rear attachment plate (ref. a, Fig.6) to the pilaster and then accurately weld the rear attachment to the plate as shown in Fig. 6.
