IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Important Safety Instructions

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH:

• READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

• Never let children operate or play with the gate controls. Keep remote controls away from children.

• Always keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF A MOVING GATE.

• Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object or when an object activates a non-contact sensor. If necessary, adjust the force or the limit of travel and then retest the gate operator. Failure to properly adjust and retest the gate operator can increase the risk of injury or death.

• Use the manual release mechanism only when the gate is not moving.

• KEEP GATE PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Have a qualified service person make repairs to gate hardware.

• The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use a separate entrance.

• SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Important Installation Instructions

1. Install the gate operator only when the following conditions have been met:

• The operator is appropriate for the type and usage class of the gate.

• All openings of a horizontal slide gate have been guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate to a minimum of 6 feet (1.83 m) above the ground to prevent a 2-1/4 inch (57.2 mm) diameter sphere from passing through openings anywhere in the gate or through that portion of the adjacent fence that the gate covers when in the open position.

• All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded.

• Guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.

2. The operator is intended for installation on gates used by vehicles only. Pedestrians must be provided with a separate access opening.

3. To reduce the risk of entrapment when opening and closing, the gate must be installed in a location that allows adequate clearance between the gate and adjacent structures. Swinging gates shall not open outward into public access areas.

4. Before installing the gate operator, ensure that the gate has been properly installed and that it swings freely in both directions. Do not over-tighten the operator clutch or pressure relief valve to compensate for a damaged gate.

5. Controls intended for user activation must be located at least six feet (6’) away from any moving part of the gate and where the user is prevented from reaching over, under, around or through the gate to operate the controls.Exception: Emergency access controls only accessible by authorized personnel (e.g. fire, police, EMS) may be placed at any location in the line-of-sight of the gate.

6. The Stop and/or Reset buttons must be located within line-of-sight of the gate. Activation of the reset control shall not cause the operator to start.

7. All warning signs and placards must be installed and easily seen within visible proximity of the gate. A minimum of one warning sign shall be installed on each side of the gate.

8. For gate operators that utilize a non-contact sensor (photo beam or the like):

• See instructions on the placement of non-contact sensors for each type of application.

• Exercise care to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate is still moving.

• Locate one or more non-contact sensors where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as at the reachable perimeter of a moving gate or barrier.

• Use only FAAC “Photobeam” photoelectric eyes to comply with UL325.

9. For gate operators that utilize a contact sensor (edge

Page 4

Important Installation Instructions (continued)

sensor or similar):

• Locate one or more contact sensors where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as at the leading edge, trailing edge, and post mounted both inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal slide gate

• Locate one or more contact sensors at the bottom edge of a vehicular vertical lift gate.

• Locate one or more contact sensors at the bottom edge of a vertical barrier (arm).

• Locate one or more contact sensors at the pinch point of a vehicular vertical pivot gate.

• Locate hard-wired contact sensors and wiring so that communication between sensor and gate operator is not subjected to mechanical damage.

• Locate wireless contact sensors, such as those that transmit radio frequency (RF) signals, where the transmission of signals are not obstructed or impeded by building structures, natural landscaping or similar hindrances. Wireless contact sensors shall function under their intended end-use conditions.

• Use only FAAC XS 55, CN 60 E edge sensors.

844 OPERATOR

1. DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATION

The FAAC Model 844 is an electro-mechanical operator for sliding gates 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 control board, if supplied with the gearmotor, it is placed inside the operator.

The 844 automated system is designed and manufactured to control access of vehicles. Do not use for any other purpose.



2. Prepare a concrete pad as shown in Fig.7, following the suggested dimensions. It’s recommended to have the pad a minimum of 4” above level grade to avoid any flooding of the operator. The underground depth of the concrete pad is determined by the soil condition and the local building codes. Make sure the concrete pad is leveled.

3. Provide one or more conduit pathways for all power and accessory connections. Extend the conduit about of 1/2” above the level of the concrete pad.

4. After the concrete is poured in the forms and before it has a chance to set, insert the foundation plate into the cement and position it flush with the top of the concrete and aligned with the top of the lower gate frame. Use the dimensions shown in Figs 5 or 6 to align your foundation plate. Allow the concrete to set for a minimum of two days before installing the operator.

5. Route the wires in the conduits. To facilitate the connections allow for about 15” of extra length of cables out of the conduit. Separate the high and low voltage wires in different conduits.

(Open A, Open B)

Fig. 30

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 Section 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.

Note: If no opening safety devices are needed, jumper terminals FSW OP and -.

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 Section 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.

Note: If no closing safety devices are needed, jumper terminals FSW CL and -.

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. 31).

Note: If STOP devices are not connected, jumper 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 2-seconds 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.

Note: If edge safety devices are not needed, jumper terminals SAFE and -.

5.5. PROGRAMMING

To program operation of the automated system, access the "PROGRAMMING" mode with keys F,+ and - on the cover.

Attention: before attempting to power up the system, re-position the board's cover to avoid contact with high voltage parts and to access the push-button keys on the cover (Fig. 33).

Fig. 33

Programming is divided in two parts: BASIC and ADVANCED.

5.5.1. BASIC PROGRAMMING

To access BASIC PROGRAMMING, press key F:

• If you press it (and hold it down), the display shows the name of the first function.

• If you release the key, the display shows the value of the function that can be modified with keys + and -.

• If you press F again (and hold it down), the display shows the name of the next function, etc.

• When you reach the last function, press F to exit the program, and the display resumes showing the gate status.

The following table shows the sequence of functions accessible in BASIC PROGRAMMING:

BASIC PROGRAMMING

Display Function Default

FUNCTION LOGICS (see table of logics):

= Automatic

= "Stepped" automatic

= "Safety" Automatic

= Semi-automatic

= "Stepped" Semi-automatic

= Dead-man

= "B" Semi-automatic

= Mixed Log.(B opening / C closing)

Display Function Default

FORCE:

Adjusts Motor thrust.

= minimum force

= maximum force

OPENING DIRECTION:

Indicates the gate opening movement and makes it possible not to change the motor connections on the terminal board.

= Rightward opening movement = Leftward opening movement

STATUS OF AUTOMATED SYSTEM:

Exit from programming, save data, and return to gate status viewing.

= Closed = Now opening = At "STOP" = Open = Pause = "FAIL SAFE" error = Now closing = Now reversing = Photocells tripped

= Sequential obstacle detection

NOTE: Status will be displayed after two consecutive triggers of the safe input or two consecutive obstacle detections from the inherent entrapment protection device (encoder). In this status the operator will also set off the audio alarm. Normal operation can only be resumed by breaking the stop circuit or resetting power.

5.5.2. ADVANCED PROGRAMMING

To access ADVANCED PROGRAMMING, press key F and, as you hold it down, press key +:

• If you release key + , the display indicates the name of the first function.

• If you release key F too, the display shows the value of the function that can be modified with keys + and -.

• If you press key F (and hold it down), the display shows the name of the next function, and if you release it, the value that can be modified with keys + and - is shown.

• When you reach the last function, press F to exit the program, and the display resumes showing the gate status.

The following table shows the sequence of functions accessible in ADVANCED PROGRAMMING:

PAUSE TIME:

This has effect only if automatic logic was selected.

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 the maximum value of minutes.

E.g. if the display shows , pause time is 2 min. and 50 sec.

ADVANCED PROGRAMMING

Display Function Default

MAXIMUM TORQUE AT INITIAL THRUST:

The motor operate at maximum torque (ignoring the torque setting) at start of move-

ment. Useful for heavy leaves.

= Active

= Disabled

Page 15

Display Function Default

FINAL BRAKING:

When the gate reaches 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:

This function allows to select wich safety inputs will be monitored by the controller. it enables a functional test of the photocells or safety edges before any gate movement. If the test fails (device not present or not working are indicated by the value on the display), the gate does not start moving.

FSW-OP, FSW-CL monitored

SAFE not monitored

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:

The encoder operates as an anti-crushing device. If the gate hits an obstacle during opening or closing, the encoder immediately reverses the gate leaf movement for 2 seconds. If the encoder operates again during the 2-seconds reversing time, the movement stops (STOP) without commanding any reversing.

Adjust the sensitivity of the anti-crushing system, by varying the parameter between (maximum sensitivity) and (minimum sensitivity).

From to = Encoder active and sensitivity adjustment

IMPORTANT: Do not set the sensitivity to

FSW-OP, FSW-CL not monitored

SAFE monitored

FSW-OP, SAFE monitored

FSW-CL not monitored

FSW-CL, SAFE monitored

FSW-OP not monitored

FSW-OP, FSW-CL, SAFE monitored

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

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

Pre-limit switch DECELERATION:

You can select gate deceleration before the opening and closing limit-switches have been tripped.

= 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.

= Deceleration disabled

from to = Deceleration enabled

Page 16

Display Function Default

PARTIAL OPENING:

You can adjust the width of partial leaf opening. from to .

For example, with pinion Z20, partial opening can vary from 2' to 13'.

6. START-UP

6.1. ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS

Make all electrical connections to the board as described in Section 5, including grounding the operator (Fig. 34).

WORK TIME (time-out):

It is advisable 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 limitswitch and vice versa.

Adjustable from to sec. in one-second 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 will not exactly match the motor's maximum operating time if decelerations are used.

ASSISTANCE REQUEST (combined with next function):

If activated, at the end of countdown (see the next function: "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). It can be useful to set scheduled maintenance jobs.

= Active

= Disabled

CYCLE PROGRAMMING:

To set countdown of system operation cycles. Settable (in thousands) from to thousand cycles.

The displayed value is updated as cycles proceed.

GATE STATUS:

Exit from programming, save data and return to viewing gate status (see Section

5.5.1.).

Note 1: To reset the programming default settings, check

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

Note 2: Modifications of programming parameters take

effect immediately, whereas changes are saved to memory only after you exit programming and return to normal gate status viewing. If the equipment is powered down before returning to status viewing, any modifications will be lost.

Fig. 34

6.2. OPENING - CLOSING DIRECTIONS

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

If opening direction is to the RIGHT ( ):

OPENING limit-switch LED = FC1

CLOSING limit-switch LED = FC2

If opening direction is to the LEFT ( ):

OPENING limit-switch LED = FC2

CLOSING limit-switch LED = FC1

Note: for RF chain applications the wires on Mot1 and Mot2 (See Fig. 23) need to be reversed.

6.3. DETERMINING STOP POINTS AT TRAVEL LIMIT

The 844 operator has a limit sensor switch which, by detecting the transit of a reference applied to the rack, commands the motor to stop. The device can be magnetic (Fig. 41) or inductive (Fig. 42).

6.3.1. Magnetic Limit-Switch (MLS)

The MLS limit-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 that the operator is in manual mode (see Sec.8).

2. Manually open the gate to within 3/4 to 2 inches of 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 turns on (Fig. 22 and 41), then move the magnet forward an additional 1 3/4 inches.

4. Manually close the gate to within 3/4 to 2 inches of 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 turns on (Fig. 22 and 41), then move the magnet forward an additional 1 3/4 inches.

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

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

Page 17

8. Check that the gate stops approximately 3/4 to 2 inches from its mechanical stop point. If necessary, correct the position of the magnets and check that 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 reposition the magnets with the adhesive strip in contact with the rack (Fig. 35 Ref. 2).

Attention: Due to the power ful magnetic fields produced

by the supplied magnets, do not place magnetic storage devices (credit cards, magnetic tapes, floppy disks, etc) or sensitive electronic equipment (watches, CRT monitors, LCD screens, etc.) near the magnets.

Notes on Magnet Positioning

• To ensure correct operation, allow at least 3/4 inch from the mechanical stop limit in the gate stop position. Carry out this check after determining the values of the preand post-limit switch decelerations (see Section 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 1/4 to 1/2 inch.

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

FC1

4. Allow the plate to move on the rack in opening direction until the relevant LED goes off (Figs. 22 and 36); next, move the plate forward an additional 1 3/4 inches and secure it to the rack by tightening the screws.

5. Manually close the gate to within 3/4 to 2 inches of 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 36); next, move the plate forward by an additional 1 3/4 inches and secure it to the rack by tightening the screws.

FC1

FC2

Fig. 36

Notes on Plate Positioning

• To ensure correct operation, allow at least 3/4 inch from

the mechanical stop limit in the gate stop position. Carry out this check after determining the values of the preand post-limit switch decelerations (see Section 5.5.2.) and after running at least one complete cycle of the automated system.

• The distance between the limit-switch and the plates

must be < 3/16 inch.

FC2

Fig. 35

6.3.2. Inductive Limit-Switch

The inductive limit-switch detects the travel of the two steel plates fitted on the top of the rack or the chain.

Procedure for correct positioning of the two supplied steel plates:

1. Assemble the limit-switch by centering the plate with respect to the threaded pins of the support (Fig. 36).

2. Check that the operator is in manual operating mode (see Section 8).

3. Manually open the gate to within 3/4 to 2 inches of the mechanical stop limit.

6.4. INPUTS CHECK

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

Note the following: Led ON = closed contact

Led OFF = open contact

Check the status of the LEDs as per the following table.

Note: The status of the LEDs while the gate is closed are shown in bold. If opening direction is to the left, the status of LEDS FC1 and FC2 is reversed.

6.5. MECHANICAL CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT

In addition to its electronic safety devices (encoder and force adjustment), the 844 operator is also equipped with a mechanical clutch. The clutch doesn't need to be adjusted in a typical application. It comes from the factory set to its maximum strength, and can be left as it is for the majority of applications. To adjust the operator's thrust and reversing behavior use the force and encoder settings, as detailed in Sections 5.5.1 and 5.5.2.

In case the clutch needs to be adjusted:

1. Cut electrical power to the operator.

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. 37 Ref. A.

- To increase torque, turn the screw clockwise.

- To reduce torque, turn the screw counter-clockwise.

3. Power up the operator and check that the torque you

have just set is correct.

 The operator is supplied as standard with a clutch

adjustment spring for gates up to 2200 lbs. For heavier gates, use the supplied alternative spring. For spring replacement instructions, see Fig. 37 Ref. B.

7. FINAL OPERATIONS

• After installation, apply the danger sticker to the top of the cover (Fig. 38).

Fig. 38

• Snap-fit the side panels, put the equipment's cover on and secure it with the supplied screws (Fig. 39).

Fig. 39

Fig. 37

6.6. TRAVEL LIMITS CHECK

Be careful when setting the post-limit-switch deceleration and braking. If the deceleration is too long and braking is insufficient, the magnet or steel plate fitted on the gate's rack can overshoot the sensor until it is disengaged.

When the gate stops, check that the correct light limit-switch is engaged. The relevant LED must be OFF. If it went OFF and then ON again, or if both limit-switch LEDS are OFF, you must reduce the post-limit-switch deceleration value and/or increase the braking value (see Section 5.5.2).

6.7. SAFETY DEVICES CHECK

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

• Remove the vent screw (Fig. 40).

Fig. 40

Page 19

8. MANUAL OPERATION

10. MAINTENACE

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

2. Open the protection door and insert the supplied key in the lock (Fig. 41).

Fig. 41

3. Turn the key clockwise and pull the release lever as shown in Fig. 42.

4. Open and close the gate manually.

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

10.1. REMOVING BOARD AND TRANSFORMER

If you have to disassemble the transformer-board unit, proceed as follows:

Remove all terminal boards and connectors from the board. Unscrew the 3 screws from the board and the 2 from the transformer. Lift the unit up and gently remove the transformer from the couplings on the board as shown in Fig. 43.

Fig. 42

9. RESTORING NORMAL OPERATION

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

1. Re-close the release lever.

2. Turn the key counter-clockwise

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

4. Move the gate until the release engages.

Fig. 43

10.2. OIL TOP-OFFS

Periodically check the oil level inside the operator. A oncea-year check is enough for medium or low usage. For heavy duty usage, a check every 6 months is recommended.

To access the tank, temporarily remove the plastic oil filler cap (Fig. 44). Oil level is visually checked and must cover the copper coil of the electric motor.

If more oil is needed, add it through the oil filler hole. Use FAAC HP oil only.

10.3. REPAIRS

For any repairs, contact an FAAC authorized repair center.

13. TROUBLESHOOTING

If you have a problem installing the operator, check the problems and solutions listed below for suggestions.

PROBLEM SOLUTIONS

The operator does not respond to the activating signal.

The gate is closed and does not open. • Make sure the clutch adjustment is not too weak.

The gate opens, but will not close. • Make sure the closing safety devices are working properly and that they are not

On initial operation the operator moves a few inches and stops.

The gate opens, but the operator continues to run.

• Make sure the main power switch is on.

• Check the control panel terminal strip for possible broken or disconnected wires.

• If a radio signal is being used to activate the operator, be sure the code sets on both the transmitter and receiver are the same.

• Momentarily short across terminals 1 and 7 on the control panel. If this activates the operator, a problem probably exists in the activating device itself.

• Increase the torque if the motor is running and the gate is not moving. This may be necessary for especially heavy gates.

• Check that the closed limit switch is working. The FC status light should be off. Make sure that the limit switch plate is not too far away from the limit switch. The distance between a plate and the switch should be 3/16 in.

• Check fuse F1 and replace it if necessary.

activated (an activated reversing device will prevent the gate from closing)

• Check that the FSW-CL light is on indicating that the closing safety is not active. Make sure that the display doesn't show 05, indicating that the Fails Safe Check didn't pass.

• Check the encoder setting

• Check the FC light on the control panel. It should be OFF. If it is ON, check the alignment of the limit switch plate.

• If the FCC light is ON and the limit switch plate is correctly adjusted, replace the limit switch.

Note: If the limit switch plates are not detected by the limit switch on the operator, the motor will run for 120 seconds and then the control panel will be in alarm status.
