455 D Control Panel Installation Instructions
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 240 seconds.
Opening/Closing time: adjustable
from 0 to 120 seconds.
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.
NSTALLINGTHE 455 D CONTROL
I
ANEL
P
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 and 2). 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).

WARNING!
make any electrical connections or before
programming.
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 you
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
OTATION
R
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.

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 3.5
on page 5).
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
installed (between terminals 11 and 16, between 12 and
19, and between 13 and 19) with the proper reversing
and stop devices. The instructions for installing such
accessories follow.
CONNECT OTHER DEVICES
WARNING! Turn the main power off before you
make any electrical connections.
P
OWER SUPPLYFOR ACCESSORIES: You can access a 24 VDC
output for supplying power to accessories through
terminals 17 or 18, (+) and 14 or 15 or 16, (-) on
terminal block J1. In most cases, this source can be
used to power 24 VDC accessories.
N
OTE: The 455 D control panel allows a maximum
accessory load of 800 mA.
R
EVERSING DEVICES: Reversing devices include photocells,
inductive loops, and so forth. All of the reversing
devices should have contacts of the normally closed
(N.C.) type. Where you connect a device depends on
whether you want the device to operate during opening
or during closing.
N
OTE: UL does not recognize the FAAC system
with loop detectors or safety edges. FAAC
photobeams must be used to comply with UL 325.
To wire photobeams, refer to page 4 (see FSWOP for
opening photobeams, and FSWCL for closing
photobeams). Photobeams must be connected as
shown. See also page 7 for the wiring of inductive loops.
If using more than one reversing device, they must be
wired in series.

stop buttons must be wired in series. Connect your stop
device between terminals 11 and 16.
N
OTE: The 455 will not operate the motors without
a closed circuit between 11 & 16.
The LED Indicators: The nine light emitting diodes
(LEDs) on the control panel can be used to check for the
proper function of the devices attached to the panel.
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,

the LEDs and the next table to 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 page 7 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.
OGICS A, S, E, EP, AND B: The warning light is on
L
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.
OPERATING LOGICS
N
OTE: The 455 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
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 three-button
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.
PAUSE 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.
LEAF 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
must be avoided in the path of the gate leaf(s).
NOTE: Must start with 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 traffic
LEARNINGOF NORMAL TIMES
Normal learning (i.e. without Gatecoders) can be done in
two different ways:
SIMPLE LEARNING
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 push-button 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
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

(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 close.
• 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 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.
The procedure has ended and the gate is ready to
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 to
close, and then resume normal operations.
Close the gates, enter “B
TIME LEARNING function and press the + push-button
for more than 3 seconds: the display begins flashing
and leaf 1 begins opening movement. The following
functions can be commanded by the OPEN A
command (by radio control or key push-button):
ASIC PROGRAMMING”, select the
• 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.
• An open command must be given to start
opening gate operator (2).
• 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 (2).
• 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.

SAFETYIN GATE DESIGN
• 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.
MAINTENANCE
THE 455 MPS CONTROL PANEL
Keep the control panel free from spider webs, insects, etc. Otherwise, the control panel requires no maintenance.
