AUTOMATED SYSTEM 746 & ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT 780D

These instructions apply to the following models:

746 ER Z16 - 746 ER Z20 - 746 ER CAT - 746 ER RF

The FAAC mod. 746 automated system for sliding gates is an
electro-mechanical operator transmitting motion to the sliding leaf
via a rack or chain pinion appropriately coupled to the gate.
The non-reversing system ensures the gate is mechanically locked
when the motor is not operating and, therefore, no lock needs to be
installed.
The gearmotor is equipped with a mechanical clutch which,
combined with an electronic device, offers the necessary adjustable
anti-crushing safety and guarantees stopping or reversing the gate
movement. A handy manual release makes it possible to move the
gate in the event of a power cut or malfunction. The electronic
control equipment is equipped with a gearmotor and is housed
inside the operator.

The 746 automated system was designed and manufactured to
control access of vehicles. Avoid any other use whatever.

1. DESCRIPTION AND TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

1.1. MAXIMUM USE CURVE

The curve makes it possible to establish maximum work time (T)
according to use frequency (F).
E.g.: The 746 gearmotor can operate non-stop at 70% use
frequency.

To ensure efficient operation, operate in the work range below the
curve.
Important: The curve is obtained at a temperature of 24°C. Exposure
to the direct sun rays can reduce use frequency down to 20%.

Calculation of use frequency

To ensure safety and an efficiently operating automated system,
make sure the following conditions are observed:

• The gate structure must be suitable for automation. The following
are necessary in particular: wheel diameter must be in proportion
to the weight of the gate to be automated, an upper guide must
be provided, plus mechanical stop limits to prevent the gate
derailing.

• The soil must permit sufficient stability for the foundation plinth.

• There must be no pipes or electric cables in the plinth excavation
area.

• If the gearmotor is exposed to passing vehicles, install, if possible,
adequate means of protection against accidental impact.

• Check if an efficient earthing is available for connection to the
gearmotor.

Opening safety devices:

they are tripped when an obstacle is
detected only during gate opening movement. They
cause immediate closure and resumption of opening
motion on release (see programming in par. 5.5.2.)

Closing safety devices:

they are tripped when an obstacle is
detected only during gate closing movement. They
cause re-opening, either immediate or on release
(see programming in par. 5.5.2.)

Opening/closing safety devices:

they are tripped during the
gate opening and closing movements. They cause
stopping and restart motion on release.

"Edge" safety devices:

they are tripped during the gate opening
and closing movements. They cause immediate
reversal of motion and stopping after two seconds.

Encoder:

it is tripped if there is an obstacle during gate opening
and closing movements. It causes immediate reversal
of motion and stopping after two seconds.

N.B. If two or more safety devices have the same function
(opening, closing, opening and closing, edge), the contacts
must be connected to each other in series (fig. 25).

max 60W.

5.4.4. J1 Terminal board - Accessories (fig. 23)

Consult the relevant tables for a detailed description of
operation in the different logics

OPEN A - “Total Opening” command (terminal 1): any pulse

OPEN B - “Partial opening” or “Closing” command (terminal 2): any

generator (push-button, detector, etc.) which, by closing a
contact, commands total opening and/or closing of the
gate leaf.

To install several total opening pulse generators, connect
the N.O. contacts in parallel (fig. 35).

pulse generator (push-button, detector, etc.) which, by
closing a contact, commands partial opening and/or
closing of the gate leaf.

In the B, C and B/C logics, it always

commands gate closure.

To install several partial opening pulse generators, connect
the N.O. contacts in parallel (fig.35).

FSW OP - Opening safety devices contact (terminal 3): The purpose

of the opening safety devices is to protect the leaf movement
area during opening. During opening, in the A-AP-S-E-EP
logics the safety devices reverse the movement of the gate,
or stop and restart the movement when it is released (see
advanced programming in Chpt. 5.5.2). During the opening
cycle in logics B, C and B/C, they interrupt movement.

They

never operate during the closing cycle.
If the Opening safety devices are engaged when the gate
is closed, they prevent the opening movement.
To install several safety devices, connect the N.C. contacts in
series (fig.25).

NB.: If no opening safety devices are connected, jumper
connect inputs FSW OP and -TX FSW (fig. 26).

FSW CL - Closing safety devices contact (terminal 4): The purpose

of the closing safety devices is to protect the gate movement
area during closing. During closing, in the A-AP-S-E-EP
logics, the safety devices reverse the movement of the
gate, or stop and reverse the movement when it is released
(see advanced programming in Chpt. 5.5.2). During the
closing cycle in logics B, C and B/C, they interrupt movement.
They never operate during the opening cycle. If the Closing
safety devices are engaged when the gate is open, they
prevent the closing movement.
To install several safety devices, connect the N.C. contacts
in series (fig.25).

NB.: If no closing safety devices are connected, jumper
connect terminals FSW CL and -TX FSW

(fig. 26).

STOP - STOP contact (terminal 5): any device (e.g. a push-button)

which, by opening a contact, stops gate movement.
To install several STOP devices, connect the N.C. contacts
in series (fig. 25).

NB.: If STOP devices are not connected, jumper connect
the STOP and - terminals.

SAFE - EDGE safety device contact (terminal 6): The purpose of the

"edge" safety device is to protect the leaf movement area
during opening/closing. In all logics, during opening and
closing, the safety device reverses gate movement for 2
seconds. If the safety devices operate again during the 2­seconds reversing time, it stops movement (STOP) without any
reversing.
If the Edge safety device is engaged while the gate is closed
or open, it prevents movement.
To install several safety devices, connect the N.C. contacts in
series (fig.25).

The motor operate at maximum torque (ignoring
the torque setting) at start of movement. Useful
for heavy leaves.

= Active

= Disabled

FINAL BRAKING:

When the gate engages the opening or
closing limit-switch, a braking stroke can be
selected to ensure the leaf is stopped
immediately. If decelerations are selected,
braking starts when they finish.
At value, braking is disabled.
Time can be adjusted from to in

0.01-second steps.
= Braking disabled

from to = Timed braking

FAIL SAFE:

If this function is activated, it enables a function
test of the photocells before any gate
movement. If the test fails (photocells not
serviceable signalled by value on the
display), the gate does not start moving.

= Active

= Disabled

PRE-FLASHING (5 s):

Activates the flashing lamp for 5 seconds before
start of movement.

= Disabled
= Only before opening

= Only before closing

= Before every movement

INDICATOR-LIGHT:

If is selected, the output functions as a
standard indicator-light (lighted at opening
and pause, flashing at closing, and off when
gate closed).
Courtesy light: Different figures correspond
to timed activation of the output, which can
be used (by a relay) to power a courtesy
lamp. Time can be adjusted from to
sec. in 1-second steps, and from to
min. in 10-second steps.

Electric lock command and 'traffic lights'
functions:

If you press key - from the setting, the
command for the closing electric lock is
activated;
If you press - again, the command for the

closing and opening electric lock is set;

and is disabled 3 seconds before the closing
manoeuvre starts.
Note: there is 3 seconds of pre-flashing before
the closing manoeuvre.

= 'traffic lights' function: the output is
active only in "closed" status.

Attention: do not exceed the output's
maximum load (24Vdc-3W). If necessary,
use a relay and a power supply source
outside the equipment.

CLOSING PHOTOCELLS LOGIC:

Select the tripping mode of the closing
photocells.
They operate for the closing movement only:
they stop movement and reverse it when they
are released, or they reverse it immediately.

= Reverse on release

= Reverse immediately to opening

28

Display Function Default Display Function Default

OPENING PHOTOCELLS LOGIC:

Select the tripping mode of the opening
photocells.
They operate for the opening movement
only: they stop the movement and restart it
when they are released, or they reverse it
immediately.

= Reverse immediately to closing

= Restart movement on release

ENCODER:

If the encoder is used, you may select its presence.
If the encoder is present and enabled,
"decelerations" and "partial opening" are
controlled by the encoder (see relevant
paragraphs).
The encoder operates as an anti-crushing device:
If the gate strikes an obstacle during opening or
closing, the encoder immediately reverses gate
leaf movement for 2 seconds. If the encoder
operates again during the 2-seconds reversing
time, it stops movement (STOP) without
commanding any reversing. If no sensor is
supplied, the parameter must be set on . If
there is the encoder, adjust the sensitivity of the
anti-crushing system, by varying the parameter
between (maximum sensitivity) and
(minimum sensitivity).

PARTIAL OPENING:

You can adjust the width of partial leaf
opening.
Time can be adjusted from to in
1 second steps.
If an encoder is used, the adjustment is not
determined by time but by motor revs, thus
obtaining greater partial-opening precision.
For example, with pinion Z20, partial opening
can vary from about 60 cm to 4 m.

WORK TIME (tome-out):

We advise you to set a value of 5 to 10
seconds over the time taken by the gate to
travel from the closing limit-switch to the
opening limit-switch and vice versa.
Adjustable from to sec. in one­second steps.
Subsequently, display changes to minutes
and tens of seconds (separated by a point)
and time is adjusted in 10 second steps, up to
a maximum value of minutes.

Attention: the set value does not exactly
match the motor's maximum operating time,
because the latter is modified according to
the performed deceleration spaces.

from to = Encoder active and
sensitivity adjustment

= Encoder disabled

Pre-limit switch DECELERATION:

You can select gate deceleration before the
opening and closing limit-switches have been
tripped.
Time can be adjusted from to in

0.1-second steps.
If an encoder is used, the adjustment is not
determined by time but by motor revs, thus
obtaining greater deceleration precision.

= Deceleration disabled
from to = Deceleration enabled

Post-limit switch DECELERATION:

You can select gate deceleration after the
opening and closing limit-switches have been
tripped.
Time can be adjusted from to in

0.1-second steps.
If an encoder is used, the adjustment is not
determined by time but by motor revs, thus
obtaining greater deceleration precision.

ASSISTANCE REQUEST (combined with next
function):

If activated, at the end of countdown
(settable with the next function i.e. "Cycle
programming") it effects 2 sec. (in addition to
the value already set with the PF function) of
pre-flashing at every Open pulse (job
request). Can be useful for setting scheduled
maintenance jobs.

= Active

= Disabled

CYCLE PROGRAMMING:

For setting countdown of system operation
cycles. Settable (in thousands) from to

thousand cycles.

The displayed value is updated as cycles
proceed.
This function can be used to check use of the
board or to exploit the "Assistance request".

GATE STATUS:

Exit from programming, data saving, and
return to viewing gate status (see par.

5.5.1.).

Note 1: to reset the programming default settings, check if the

edge input is closed (SAFE LED ON), and simultaneously
press keys +, - and F, holding them down for 5 seconds.

= Deceleration disabled
from to = Deceleration enabled

Note 2: modification of programming parameters comes into

effect immediately, whereas definitive memory storage
occurs only when you exit programming and return to
gate status viewing. If the equipment is powered down
before return to status viewing, all modifications will be
lost.

6.1 . ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS

Make all electrical connections to the board as in chapter 5,
including earthing of the operator (Fig. 40).

Fig. 40

6. 2. DEFINITION OF OPENING DIRECTION AND OPERATION
OF LIMIT-SWITCH LEDS

Power up the system and set the opening direction on the
board (see par. 5.5.1).

If opening direction is

OPENING limit-switch LED = FC1

CLOSING limit-switch LED = FC2

RIGHTWARD ( ):

Attention: due to the powerful magnetic fields the supplied
magnets produce, the magnets can damage magnetic band
components (credit cards, magnetic tapes, floppy disks, etc)
and electronic and mechanical equipment (e.g. watches, LCD
screens). We advise you not to bring them near to objects that
could be damaged if 'immersed' in a magnetic field.

Notes on magnet positioning

• To ensure correct operation, allow at least 2 cm from the
mechanical stop limit in the gate stop position. Carry out this
check after determining the values of the pre- and post-limit
switch decelerations (see par. 5.5.2.) and after running at least
one complete cycle of the automated system.

• The distance between the limit-switch and magnets must be
from 5 to 12 mm.

• Magnets should be fitted on the rack and not on the fixing
screws.
If necessary, position the magnet at the side of the screw
and adjust decelerations (parag. 5.5.2) in order to obtain
the correct stop point.

6.3. DETERMINING THE STOP POINTS AT TRAVEL LIMIT

Operator 746 has a limit sensor switch which, by detecting the
transit of a reference applied to the rack, commands the gate
motor to stop. The device can be MLS (fig. 41) or inductive (fig.

42).

6.3.1. MLS limit-switch

The MLS limit sensor switch detects the transit of two magnets
fitted on the side of the rack facing the operator.
Procedure for correct positioning of the two supplied magnets:

1) Check if the operator is in manual mode (see chapter 8).

2) Manually take the gate to opening position, leaving 2 - 5 cm
from the travel limit mechanical stop.

3) Fit the magnet (without removing the protective film from the
adhesive side) on the side of the rack facing the operator,
aligning the upper edges. Slide the magnet on the rack in
opening direction until the relevant LED goes off (Fig. 22 and

41), then move the magnet forward a further 45 mm.

4) Manually take the gate to closing position, leaving 2 - 5 cm
from the travel limit mechanical stop.

5) Fit the magnet (without removing the protective film from the
adhesive side) on the side of the rack facing the operator,
aligning the upper edges. Slide the magnet on the rack in
closing direction until the relevant LED goes off (Fig. 22 and 41),
then move the magnet forward by about a further 45 mm.

6) Take the gate to its halfway travel point and relock the system
(see chapter 9).

7) Find out the desired pre- and post-limit-switch deceleration
values (see parag. 5.5.2) and run the automated system for at
least one complete cycle.

8) Check if the gate stops at about 2 - 5 cm from its mechanical
stop point. If necessary, correct the position of the magnets
and check if the stop point is correct.

9) Mark the position of the magnets on the rack, and remove
them.

10) Clean the rack on its fitting points, remove the film on the
adhesive parts of the magnets (fig. 41 ref. 1) and re-position the
magnets with the adhesive strip in contact with the rack (fig. 41
ref. 2).

6.3.2. Inductive limit-switch

Operator 746 has an inductive limit-switch which detects the
transit of the two steel plates fitted on the top of the rack.
Procedure for correct positioning of the two supplied steel plates:

1) Assemble the limit-switch by centring the plate with respect to
threaded pins of the support (Fig. 42).

2) Check if the operator is in manual operating mode (see
chapter 8).

3) Manually move the gate to opening position, allowing 2 - 5 cm
from the mechanical stop limit.

4) Allow the plate to move on the rack in opening direction until
the relevant LED goes OFF (Figs. 22 and 42); next, move the
plate forward by about another 45 mm and secure it to the rack
by tightening the screws.

5) Manually move the gate to closing position, allowing 2 - 5 cm
from the mechanical stop limit.

6) Allow the plate to move on the rack in closing direction until the
relevant LED goes OFF (Figs. 22 and 42); next, move the plate
forward by about another 45 mm and secure it to the rack by
tightening the screws.

• The distance between the limit-switch and the plates must be <
5mm.

• For nylon racks, use the plate only (without support), securing it
directly to the rack by the self-tapping screws. Make the above
mentioned adjustments.

Note

: a steel core is situated 5 mm under the surface of the
nylon rack. Therefore, drill until you reach the steel core and
screw with the self-tapping screws.

6.4. CHECK OF INPUTS

The table below shows the status of the LEDs in relation to to the
status of the inputs.
Note the following:

LED

LIGHTED

= closed contact

LED

OFF

= open contact

Check the status of the LEDs as per Table.

Tab. 2 Operation of the signalling status LEDs

LEDS LIGHTED OFF
OP-A Command activated Command inactive
OP-B Command activated Command inactive
FC1 Limit-switch free Limit-switch engaged
FC2 Limit-switch free Limit-switch engaged
FSW OP Safety devices disengaged Safety devices engaged
FSW CL Safety devices disengaged Safety devices engaged
STOP Command inactive Command activated
SAFE Safety devices disengaged Safety devices engaged
ENC Flashes while the motor rotates

Take care over the setting of the post-limit-switch deceleration
and braking: If deceleration is too long and braking is insufficient,
the reference fitted on the gate's rack (magnet or steel plate)
can overtake the sensor until the latter is disengaged. When
the gate stops, check if only the limit-switch involved is engaged.
The relevant LED must be OFF - if it went OFF and then ON
again, or if both the limit-switch LEDS are OFF, you must reduce
the post-limit-switch deceleration value and/or increase
braking value (see par.5.5.2).

Check correct operation of all the safety and anti-crushing
devices (ENCODER sensor), and of the accessories used on the
system.

7. FINAL OPERATIONS

At end of installation, apply the danger sticker on the top of
the cover (Fig. 45).

NB.: The status of the LEDs while the gate is closed at rest are shown in bold.
If opening direction is leftward, the status of LEDS FC1 and FC2 is reversed.

To reduce torque, turn the screw anti-clockwise.

Therefore, you must initially turn the screw anti-clockwise to
reach the best setting.

In addition to its electronic safety devices (encoder and force
adjustment), the 746 operator is also equipped with a mechanical
clutch.
For gate force and the encoder, please consult paragraphs 5.5.1
and 5.5.2.
Procedure for adjusting the operating threshold of the mechanical
clutch (you are recommend to set it to conform with current
regulations):

1) Cut electrical power to the automated system.

2) Keep the motor shaft locked with a wrench and turn the clutch
adjustment screw with an Allen wrench or screwdriver as shown
in Fig. 44.
To increase torque, turn the screw clockwise.

Snap-fit the side panels, fit the equipment's cover and fit the
cover with the supplied screws (Fig. 46).

Remove the vent stop screw (fig. 47).

12.MAINTENANCE

Check the operational efficiency of the system at least once
every 6 months, especially as regards the efficiency of the
safety and release devices (including operator thrust force).

12.1. DISASSEMBLING THE TRANSFORMER-BOARD UNIT

If you have to disassemble the transformer-board unit, proceed
as follows:
Remove all terminal boards and connectors from the board.
Unscrew the 3 securing screws of the board and the 2 of the
transformer. Lift the unit up and gently remove the transformer
from the couplings on the board as shown in Fig. 51.

Fig. 49

9. RESTORING NORMAL OPERATION

To prevent an involuntary pulse from activating the gate during the
manoeuvre, cut power to the system before re-locking the operator.

1) Re-close the release lever.

2) Turn the key anti-clockwise

3) Remove the key and close the lock protection door.

4) Move the gate until the release meshes.

10. INSTALLING THE CN 60E CONTROL UNIT (OPTIONAL)

The operator is designed to house (with the aid of a DIN bar)
the CN 60E control unit of the safety conductive edge. Cut the
DIN bar to measure and secure it to the operator with two
screws in the appropriate holes and attach the CN 60E control
unit to it (Fig. 50).
For connection and operation, refer to the specific instructions.

11 .SPECIAL APPLICATIONS

There are no special applications.

Fig. 51

12.2. OIL TOP-UPS

Periodically check oil level inside the operator.
A once-a-year check is enough for medium or low use frequency.
For heavier duty, every 6 months is recommended.
To access the tank, temporarily remove the oil filling plug (Fig.

52).
Oil level (visually checked) must be in line with the copper windings
of the electric motor.
To top up, pour in oil up to the required level.
Use FAAC XD 220 oil only.

(1) If maintained, it prolongs the pause until disabled by the command (timer function) (3) During the partial opening cycle, an OPEN A pulse causes total opening.

(2) If a new pulse occurs within 2 seconds after reversing, it immediately stops operation. NB.: Effects on other active pulse inputs in brackets.

USER’S GUIDE

AUTOMATED SYSTEM 746

Read the instructions carefully before using the product and keep
them for future consultation.

GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS

If installed and used correctly, the 746 automated system will
ensure a high degree of safety.
Some simple rules regarding behaviour will avoid any accidental
trouble:

- Do not stand near the automated system and do not allow
children and other people or things to stand there, especially while
it is operating.

- Keep radiocontrols or any other pulse generator well away from
children to prevent the automated system from being activated
involuntarily.

- Do not allow children to play with the automated system.

- Do not willingly obstruct gate movement.

- Prevent any branches or shrubs from interfering with gate
movement.

- Keep illuminated signalling systems efficient and clearly visible.

- Do not attempt to activate the gate by hand unless you have
released it.

- In the event of malfunctions, release the gate to allow access and
wait for qualified technical personnel to do the necessary work.

- After enabling manual operating mode, switch off the power
supply to the system before restoring normal operating mode.

- Do not make any alterations to the components of the automated
system.

- Do not attempt any kind of repair of direct action whatsoever and
contact FAAC qualified personnel only.

- Call in qualified personnel at least every 6 months to check the
efficiency of the automated system, safety devices and earth
connection.

A handy manual release makes it possible to move the gate in the
event of a power cut or malfunction.
The warning-light indicates that the gate is currently moving.

MANUAL OPERATION

If the gate has to be operated manually due to a power cut or
malfunction of the automated system, use the release device as
follows:

1) Open the protection door and fit the supplied key in the lock as
shown in Fig. 1.

2) Turn the key clockwise and pull the release lever as shown in Fig.

2.

3) Open and close the gate manually.

RESTORING NORMAL OPERATION

To prevent an involuntary pulse from activating the gate during the
manoeuvre, cut power to the system before re-locking the operator.

1) Re-close the release lever.

2) Turn the key anti-clockwise

3) Remove the key and close the lock protection door.

4) Move the gate until the release meshes.

DESCRIPTION

The 746 automated system is ideal for controlling vehicle access
areas of medium transit frequency.
The 746 automated system for sliding gates is an electro-mechanical
operator transmitting motion to the sliding gate via a rack or chain
pinion appropriately coupled to the gate.
Operation of the sliding gate is controlled by an electronic control
equipment housed inside the operator.
When, with the gate closed, the equipment receives an opening
command by radiocontrol or from another suitable device, it
activates the motor until the opening position is reached.
If automatic operating mode was set, the gate re-closes
automatically after the selected pause time has elapsed.
If the semi-automatic mode was set, a second pulse must be sent
to close the door again.
An opening pulse during re-closing, always causes movement to
be reversed.
A stop pulse (if supplied) always stops movement.
For details on sliding gate behaviour in different function logics,
consult the installation technician.
The automated systems include accessories and safety devices
(photocells, edges) that prevent the gate from closing when there
is an obstacle in the area they protect.
The system ensures mechanical locking when the motor is not
operating and, therefore, no lock needs to be installed.
Manual opening is, therefore, only possible by using the release
system.
The gearmotor is equipped with an adjustable mechanical clutch
which, combined with an electronic device, offers the necessary
anti-crushing safety, by guaranteeing reversal of closing motion or
stopping of opening motion.
A sensor detects transit of the references fitted on the rack, which
correspond to the travel limit positions.
The electronic control equipment is housed in the gearmotor.
