GATE DESIGN

4. 1. 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 5.
May, L L S O pe ra t o r A n d 5 D C o n t r o l P a ne l I n s t a l l a ti o n M a n u a l 6. 7. It is extremely unsafe to compensate for a damaged gate by increasing hydraulic pressure. Devices such as reversing edges and photobeams must be installed to provide better protection for personal property and pedestrians. Install reversing devices that are appropriate to the gate design and gate application. Before applying electrical power, be sure that the voltage requirements of the equipment correspond to your supply voltage. Refer to the label on your operator system. 3.

THE 415 COMPACT OPERATOR

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS

The FAAC 415 L LS Operator is an automatic gate operator for a swinging gate leaf. The 415 L LS Operator is useful in residential applications and can accommodate a gate leaf up to 15 ft (4.5 m) long. The self-contained 415 L LS Operator consists of an electric motor that drives a worm screw housed in an aluminum casing. The locking the 415 L LS Operator provides in the fully opened and fully closed positions is a service device rather than a security device. Additional, external locks are recommended under the following conditions: LS Operator include a torque adjustment that controls the force transmitted to the gate leaf through the 415 L LS Operator. The Manual Release mechanism is a key accessed device that disengages (or engages) the cylinder on 415 L LS Operator. When the drive is disengaged, you can open and close the gate leaf by hand. Such manual operation of the gate is necessary during installation and useful during prolonged power failures. The torque of the 415 L LS Operator is set during Basic Programming of the 455 D Control Panel. (see page 19 for Basic Programming). Reversing devices (such as inductive loops and photocells) should be installed to provide non-contact reversing operation.

PREPARE THE GATE

Before you install the 415 L LS Operator, you need to prepare the gate itself for the operator. Be sure to do the following:
May, L L S O pe ra t o r A n d 5 D C o n t r o l P a ne l I n s t a l l a ti o n M a n u a l 3. 4. Turn the manual release knob clockwise 1/2 turn. To re-engage the operator, perform the procedure in reverse.
Page 7 After attaching the electric cables to the 415 L LS Operator, you will need to thread the cables thru the assembled cable/strain relief cover and tighten the strain relief as shown in figure 5.
Now the 415 L LS Operator is manual released. You can move the gate freely.
1 Figure 5. Assembling the strain reliefs to the cable cover Figure 2. Use the Manual Release key to disengage the 415 Operator from its motor so that you can move the gate leaf open and/or closed by hand.
Slide the cable/strain relief cover up the cables until flush with the 415 L LS Operator and secure the cover with the four (4) screws provided as shown in figure 6.
ATTACH THE ELECTRIC CABLES
Before mounting the operator to the gate panel you must attach the two provided electric cables. See figure 3 & 4 for the detail sticker on the bottom of the operator.

ATTACH THE REAR MOUNTING BRACKET
Inward swinging gate: You need to determine whether to attach the rear mounting bracket directly to the post (or wall) or to notch the post and install a recessed liner. Large pillars require a recessed liner to house the rear mounting bracket and part of the operator so that the pillar will not interfere with the swing of the gate when it is fully opened. To determine whether you need a recessed liner, measure the distances B and D (shown in Fig. 9) on your gate. If your measure of B or D is greater than the dimensions shown for your operator in Figure 9, notch the post and construct a recessed liner for the post mounting bracket (see Figure 7). The recessed liner should be constructed of 3/16 or 1/4 in. steel with a minimum interior height of 8in. (20.32 cm) so as to allow you to meet the required dimensions shown in Figure 9. Make sure the recessed liner is securely embedded in the post (or wall). There are two parts to the rear mounting bracket. The horizontal bracket attaches to the operator, and the drilled plate that can be bolted to the gate post. Weld the two parts together and bolt the assembly to the gate post or column. Note, though, that use of the vertical rear mounting plate is optional. Once you have positioned the rear mounting bracket, attach the bracket to the post (or wall or recessed liner), making sure the dimensions on your gate system match those shown in Figure 9. Outward swinging gate: If you are installing the 415 L LS Operator to swing the gate outward, construct a steel elbow of sufficient size to attach to the gate pillar and rear mounting bracket (see Figure 10 for elbow dimensions).

ADJUSTING THE LIMIT SWITCHES
The limit switch adjustments are carried out as follows: 1. 2. Unscrew the upper fastening screw, figure 11, ref. A, and remove the cap, figure 11, ref B. To adjust the closing limit switch (FCC) turn the adjusting screw clockwise, figure 12, ref A, to increase the rod stroke, and counter-clockwise to reduce it. To adjust the opening limit switch (FCA) turn the adjusting screw counter-clockwise figure 13 ref. A, to increase the rod stroke, and clockwise to reduce it. Perform a couple of test cycles to check the correct position of the limit switch, if the limit switch adjustments need to be carried out again, repeat the operations starting from step 2. Reattach the cap, figure 11, ref B, and tighten the fastening screw, figure 11, ref A.
INSTALLING THE 455 D CONTROL PANEL
Locate the control panel in the most convenient position possible, considering the movement of the gate. Figure 14 shows a basic layout for a two-leaf gate with the 415 L LS Operator. 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
WARNING! Motor one (1) limit switch must be wired to FCA1 and FCC1 on the 455 D Control Panel. Motor two (2) limit switch must be wired to FCA2 and FCC2 on the 455 D Control Panel.
The installer is responsible for grounding the gate and operator systems, for providing the main power breaker switch, and for making sure that the entire gate system meets all applicable electrical codes. For the complete 455 D Control Panel Instructions, see pages 1425 of this manual. Installation

THE 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: Barrier gate operators: 615 The 455 D programming controls the following: Operating logic: A, S, E, EP, B, AP 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 415 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. adjustable Opening/Closing time: from 0 to 4 minutes. (Programmable) 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%], 5060 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. NOTE: An installation is U.L. compliant only when you install the FAAC operators according to the UL325 standards.

You cannot check the motors 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 18 on page 17).

CONNECT OTHER DEVICES

WARNING! Turn the main power off before you make any electrical connections. POWER SUPPLY FOR 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.

WARNING!

Running the operatoreven for testing purposeswithout 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 motors 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.

NOTE: The 455 D control panel allows a maximum accessory load of 800 mA. REVERSING 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.
NOTE: 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 19 (see FSWOP for opening photobeams, and FSWCL for closing photobeams). Photobeams must be connected as shown. See also page 19 for the wiring of inductive loops. If using more than one reversing device, they must be wired in series.

This is the time between open and closing and is adjustable from 0 to 4 min. This is only true in A Mode. (see pause time description)
RESTORE THE DEFAULT SETTINGS
To restore the default settings of the programming press the three program buttons (+, , F ) simultaneously and keep them pressed for five (5) seconds.

FORCE/TORQUE MOTOR 1

This adjusts the force / torque that motor 1 is applying to the gate leaf. Setting is 0 to 50.*

CYCLE PROGRAMMING:

For setting count down of system operation cycles. Settable (in thousands) from 0 to 99 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 function.
COMPLETE LEARNING (WITH SLOW DOWN)

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.
ANTI-CRUSHING SENSITIVITY:
When operating with the gatecoder, it controls anti-crushing sensitivity. Y = Low No = High

EXTRA WORK TIME:

When operating without a gatecoder and limit-switch, if reversing occurs, and if the leaf does not reach its end contact point, you can activate this function to increase work time. Y = ACTIVE NO = DISABLED

EXIT PROGRAMMING:

Exit from programming and return to display of inputs status.
Close the gates, enter BASIC PROGRAMMING, select the TIME LEARNING function and press the + push-button for more than 3 seconds: the display begins flashing and leaf 1 begins opening. The following functions can be commanded by the OPEN A (by push-button wired to terminals 9 and 14, or radio control):
LEARNING OF OPERATING TIMES

WARNING:

During the learning procedure, the safety devices are disabled! Therefore, any and all traffic must be avoided in the path of the gate leaf (s).
Programming must start with the 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.
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. At this point gate operator (2) will automatically start to open. 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.

Page 23

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 (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.
supply 5 open commands until the gate operator (1) begins to close, and then resume normal programming procedures. Close the gates, enter BASIC PROGRAMMING, select the TIME LEARNING function and press the + pushbutton 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):
The display stops flashing and the gate is ready for normal operation.
LEARNING TIMES WITH LIMIT-SWITCHES
Learning with the Limit-Switches can be done in two different ways: One way (simple learning) does not require positive stops or (complete learning) which does require positive stops.
SIMPLE LEARNING (NO POSITIVE STOPS NEEDED)
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 limit-switch(es) is reached and an activation is required to get the display stops flashing. Press the F button once more to exit programming, give the panel another open signal. When the gate operator(s) reaches its limit-switch(es) time learning is complete.
When gate operator (1) reaches the open limit-switch, it starts to slow down. When operator (1) reaches its positive stop an open command must be given to shut the motor off. When gate operator (1) reaches its positive stop and has shut off, gate operator (2) will automatically start to open When gate operator (2) reaches the open limit-switch, it starts to slow down. When operator (2) reaches its positive stop an open command must be give to shut the motor off. When operators (2) motor shuts off it will automatically start to close. When gate operator (2) reaches the closed limit-switch, it starts to slow down. When operator (2) reaches its positive stop an open command must be given to shut the motor off. When operator (2) reaches its positive stops and the motor shuts off, gate operator (1) will start to close automatically. When gate operator (1) reaches the closed limit-switch, It starts to slow down. When operator (1) reaches its positive stop an open command must be give to shut the motor off.

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.

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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING! Before you do any work on the control panel, be sure to turn off the main power.
NOTE: Any control panel specific information in the following applies to the 455 D control panel only.

PROBLEM: THE

SOLUTION:
GATE DOES NOT RESPOND TO AN ACTIVATING SIGNAL.
Check your reversing devices. If no reversing devices are installed, make sure a circuit is installed between appropriate terminals.
You should have at least one operator wired to terminals 1,2 and 3. Be sure that you have the motor start capacitors wired in terminals 2 and 3, 5 and 6 with the directional leads. Be sure that the torque/force setting is at the maximum setting of 50 in programming for hydraulic operations. Verify that the LEDs FSWOP, FSWCL, and the STOP are illuminated. If they are not illuminated, be sure that you have closed circuits in the stop and reversing inputs. Verify that your activating device works properly. OP_A should illuminate when you signal the gate to open. If OP_A does not illuminate when you signal the gate, then the problem may be in your activating device. Short across terminals 9 and 14. If the short causes the gate to open, then the problem is in the activating device. Repair or replace the device.

PROBLEM: THE (OR CLOSE).

GATE DOES NOT FULLY OPEN
Check the operator's open/close time selection. You should set a time that is just longer than the rated speed of your model of operator. For example, because the 415 L LS Operator has a rated opening time of 13 sec, you should set the time at 20 or 25 seconds. Check to see that there are no obstructions in the path of the gate or that the hinges are not binding.

When installing the photo-beams supplied with this unit two things need to be considered. 1. 2. Care should be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle, trips the sensor while the gate is in motion. One or more photo-beams shall be located where the risk of entrapment exists, such as the perimeter reachable by the moving gate leaf.

P a ge 9 Caution: NEVER weld the base plate of the drive unit to the foundation plate. Weld only the mounting C brackets to the foundation plate. When the position of the drive unit meets these conditions, weld the C-shaped mounting brackets to the foundation plate to hold the drive unit in position (see Figure 6). Next you need to prepare the two L-shaped "box halves" for installation. Note that the lip on each piece should be on top so as to support the top cover. Make the necessary holes for the two hydraulic lines that run from the drive unit to the power unit. Once you have made your access holes, you can weld the box halves to the foundation plate and to one another so as to enclose the drive unit on four sides. Be sure to protect the drive unit during welding.

INSTALL THE DRIVE UNIT

To install the drive unit, first make sure the four leveling bolts on the base of the unit do not protrude from the bottom of the unit. Then place the unit on the foundation plate (see Figure 6). Position the drive unit according to the following: The side of the drive unit with the splined shaft should be the side nearest the gate post. The longitudinal axis of the drive unit is perpendicular to (at right angles to) the fully closed gate leaf. The center of the splined shaft is vertically aligned with the center of the gate hinge axis (use a plumb line).

CONNECT THE HYDRAULIC LINES
Caution: It is important that the hydraulic lines be kept clean of any debris. The drive unit and power unit are connected by two hydraulic lines, each with an outside diameter of 5/16 in. (0.8 cm), an inside diameter of 5/32 in. (0.4 cm), and a 2,500 psi (170 bar) rating. Caution: After removing the nylon piping, do not rotate the splined shaft while you are connecting the hydraulic lines to avoid squirting hydraulic fluid. Remove the nylon piping connecting the two hydraulic pipe fittings on the drive unit. Clean up any spilled hydraulic fluid. Be sure the hydraulic lines are free of any debris by flushing them with a jet of compressed air. Then attach one line to each fitting on the drive unit. Next you attach the other end of the hydraulic lines to the pipe fittings on the power unit (see Figure 7; additional information can be found in the technical drawing on page 21. Attaching the correct line to the correct fitting is important. Make sure that the hose on the end of the drive unit that is on the closing side of the gate/fence line attaches to the hydraulic pipe fitting in the power unit that is nearest the green bypass valve screw. This connection insures that the green valve controls opening pressure.

INSTALL THE GATE LEAF SHOE
If the vertical distance between the finished grade under the gate and the bottom of the gate leaf is more than 1 1/4 in. (see Figure 4), you need to do one of the following:
Install a length of appropriately sized pipe between the sleeve that fits around the splined shaft of the operator and the gate leaf shoe. Construct a shear-pin assembly to accommodate the extra vertical distance. The assembly is welded to the bottom of the gate leaf shoe on one end and to the sleeve for the splined shaft of the pinion on the other end (see Figures 8 and 9). Such an assembly requires a bottom hinge and also protects the pinion and splined shaft in the event something hits the gate with great force.
Installing the gate leaf shoe involves making the gate leaf shoe, positioning it, and welding it to the splined shaft sleeve. If you are retrofitting the 750 Operator to an existing gate, these tasks require you to remove the gate leaf from its hinges. If you are using a shearpin assembly, refer to Figures 9 and 10 to determine what you should weld together. The gate leaf shoe is designed to carry the weight of the gate leaf and transfer the weight to the splined shaft. The shoe surrounds the 90-deg gate-post corner of the gate leaf to carry the gate and to act as a lower hinge. The shoe is made of a U-shaped section and a vertical section (see Figure 9). Later you will weld the bottom of the U-shaped section to the sleeve for the splined shaft (or to the shear-pin assembly, which is welded to the sleeve). Since the gate leaf shoe holds the gate leaf, both sections must be made of steel at least 1/4 in. (0.6 cm) thick. The U-shaped section of the shoe must be
SYNCHRONIZE THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Next you need to disengage the hydraulic system in order to synchronize it. Inside the power unit is the Manual Release lever that disengages the hydraulic system (see Figure 1). Make sure the Manual Release lever is turned toward you and down to disengage the hydraulic system. Now you can synchronize (set) the hydraulic system to the closed position by turning the splined shaft in the closing direction. Turn the shaft as far as it will go. To prevent the piston in the drive unit from bottoming in its cylinder, next turn the splined shaft about 5 deg in the opening direction. The position of the shaft now corresponds to the fully closed position of the gate leaf. The hydraulic system is now synchronized (set). Caution: The splined shaft must not be moved from its closed position until the gate leaf shoe that holds the gate leaf has been attached.

Figure 7. Connect the hydraulic line to the power unit. See the technical drawing on page 21 for more information.
Axis of rotation of the gate leaf Weld this end of this pipe to the bottom of the gate leaf shoe, being certain you have aligned the axes of rotation. This 2 in. pipe (schedule 160) has an inside diameter of 1.689 in.
P a ge Next you need to position the sleeve for the splined shaft of the pinion (or the shear-pin assembly) on the bottom side of the U-shaped section of the shoe as shown in Figure 9. On the bottom of the U-shaped shoe section, center the sleeve around the pilot hole that marks the axis or rotation. Accurately centering the pilot hole is important. Caution: NEVER anything. weld the splined shaft to
Bolt or shear pin goes through these holes and the holes on the opposite sides of the pipes. Weld this end of this pipe to the sleeve for the splined shaft (do not weld anything to the splined shaft itself). This 1 1/4 in. pipe (schedule 160) has an outside diameter of 1.660 in.
Spot-weld the sleeve into place on the bottom of the shoe's U-shaped section. If you are using the shear-pin assembly, spot weld the sleeve to the bottom of the shear-pin assembly, and spot weld the top of the shear-pin assembly to the bottom of the shoes Ushaped section. Next you must test the temporarily welded position of the splined shaft's sleeve. Fit the shaft sleeve over the splined shaft with the U-shaped section aligned in the gate leaf's fully closed position. Verify with a plumb line that the axis of rotation falls through the pilot hole to the center of the splined shaft. If the axis of rotation alignments are correct, then permanently weld the sleeve for the splined shaft to the bottom of the U-shaped section of the shoe. Also, you now need to weld the pilot hole closed, and you need to weld the vertical section of the shoe to the U-shaped section of the shoe. Lubricate the splined shaft with grease and place the finished gate leaf shoe over the shaft in the closed position.
Figure 8. A sample shear-pin assembly a minimum of 5 3/4 in. (2.1 cm) long and must be as wide as the gate leaf is thick and must fit as tightly as possible to minimize leaf movement within the shoe (see Figure 9). Construct the U-shaped section of the shoe and verify that it fits around the gate leaf. Position the U-shaped section over the splined shaft so that the leaf's axis of rotation will fall within the minimum dimensions shown in Figure 10. On the U-shaped section of the shoe, mark the position for the leaf's axis of rotation. Next, drill a pilot hole in the U-shaped section to mark the axis of rotation point and mark the position for the placement of the vertical section of the shoe.

INSTALL THE GATE LEAF

If you are not using the telescoping shear-pin assembly, install the gate leaf by placing its 90-deg corner into the gate leaf shoe and then installing the top gate hinge. Installing the top gate hinge may require the gate leaf to be at a particular height. To raise (or lower) the gate leaf to the proper height, equally adjust the four leveling bolts on the base of the drive unit. The bolts raise (or lower) the splined shaft and thus the gate leaf shoe and gate leaf. To test the installation of the gate leaf, first make sure that the hydraulic system has been disengaged (the Manual Release lever should point down). Next, very slowly open and close the gate leaf a few times to see if it moves smoothly and evenly through its entire path. As necessary, adjust the leveling bolts on the base of the drive unit to correct any problems with the gates travel.
switch, and for making sure that the entire gate system meets all applicable electrical codes. For the complete 455 D Control Panel Installation Instructions, see pages 22 - 33 of this manual.
BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
For the 750 Operator to work smoothly, it is critical that you bleed the hydraulic system of any air. Before you bleed the system, be sure that you have removed the vent screw on the top, left side of the power unit. One bleeding operation consists of the following:
Running the gate leaf through three open-close cycles Allowing the gate leaf system to sit idle for 5 minutes Releasing the air from each end of the drive unit through the bleed screw holes (see Figure 1)

INSTALLING THE 455 D CONTROL PANEL
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
You need to bleed the hydraulic system before setting the gate up for normal operation. To run the gate leaf through an open-close cycle, make sure the gate is set up for hydraulic operation (the Manual Release lever is turned up) in the A mode. Activate the gate once to open, pause, and then automatically close. The gate needs to open and close three times. Then you need to allow the gate to sit idle for a full five minutes. During this time, you can disengage the hydraulic system (turn the Manual Release lever down) and make sure that the top cover is removed from the drive unit to allow you access to the bleed screws on either end of the unit.
The installer is responsible for grounding the gate and operator systems, for providing the main power breaker

With the hydraulic system disengaged, open the gate leaf by hand to a half-opened position. Re-engage the hydraulic system. If you have a CBAC model of the 750 Operator (with hydraulic locking in the fully opened and fully closed positions), then first try to move the gate leaf. If you are unable to make the gate leaf move, then you do not need to bleed the hydraulic system. If you do need to bleed the hydraulic system, then next open the bleed screw that is on the same side of the drive unit as you are. Open the screw less than a full turn. Next, pull the gate leaf toward you until just oil (and no bubbles) comes out of the drive unit. Then close the bleed screw. Next, release the air from the other end of the drive unit in the same manner. Finally, test the automatic operation of the gate. If the gate does not operate smoothly, then repeat the bleeding process again.
INSTALLING AN EXTENSION ARM
Some gate installations do not meet the geometrical constraints shown in Figure 2. In those situations, the 750 Extension Arm option can be used along with the 750 drive unit, power unit, and control panel to install an unobtrusive gate operator. Using the 750 Extension Arm means that you do not have to permanently remove any leaf hinges, the gate leaf does not need to form a 90-deg angle on the bottom corner nearest the gate post, and the relative location of the rotation axis is not so restricted. The geometrical constraint for using the 750 Extension Arm is that the center of the splined shaft on the drive unit must be within 6 in. (15.25 cm) of the axis of rotation of the gate leaf. WARNING! The farther away the splined shaft is from the gate's axis of rotation, the greater the risk of danger from pinch points. Install the drive unit so that the splined shaft is as near as possible to the gate's rotation axis and is directly beneath the center of the fully closed gate leaf. You need to position the extension collar (see Figures 12 and 13) so that it smoothly slides within the extension U from the fully closed to the fully opened position. Note that the position of the extension collar is affected by the overlap of the extension bar and extension U. Attach the 750 extension collar to the bottom of the gate leaf with a 7/16 in. (1.1 cm) bolt. Weld together the extension bar and extension U according to Figure 13. Caution: Do not weld anything to or on the inside of the sleeve of the splined shaft. Next, weld the outside of the sleeve for the splined shaft solidly to the inside of the hole in the end of the extension bar. Follow the rest of the instructions for installing the 750 Operator. With an extension arm, you need not worry about installing a gate leaf shoe nor about installing the gate leaf in the shoe. Instead, you will install one end of the welded extension arm over the splined shaft and the other end around the extension collar. In addition, you will need to provide a washer beneath the extension collar to keep the extension U from falling off the collar. You also need to shield any pinch points around the extension arm.

Time can be adjusted from 0 to 59s in 1s increments, and from 1.0 to 4.1 min. in 10s steps. 0 = Standard Indicator-Light From 1 to 4.1 = Timed Output CLOSING PHOTOCELLS REVERSE AT RELEASE: Enable this function if you want the closing photocells to stop the gate movement and reverse it after the beam is cleared. Default setting is immediate reverse. Y = Enable No = Disabled A.D.M.A.P. FUNCTION: If this function is enabled, the safety devices operate in compliance with French standard NFP 25/362. Y = Enable No = Disabled ASSISTANCE REQUEST NEXT FUNCTION): (COMBINED WITH Default
ADVANCED PROGRAMMING F + +
Display Function MAXIMUM TORQUE AT INITIAL THRUST: The motors operate at maximum torque (ignoring the torque setting) at start of movement. Useful for heavy leaves. Y = Enable No = Disabled LAST STROKE AT CLOSING: The motors are activated at full speed for 1s to facilitate locking of the electric lock. Y = Enable No = Disabled REVERSING STROKE: Before opening, while the gate is closed, the motors thrust to close for 2 s thus facilitating release of the electric lock. Y = Enable No = Disabled LEAF 2 OPENING DELAY (2S): Enables delayed start (at opening) of leaf 2, avoiding interference between leaves. Y = Enable No = Disabled 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), the gate does not start the movement. Y = Enable No = Disabled PRE FLASHING (5S): Activates the flashing lamp for 5s before start of movement. Y = Enable No = Disabled ELECTRIC LOCK ON LEAF 2: For using the electric lock on leaf 2 instead of on leaf 1. Y = Enable No = Disabled Default

If activated, at the end of countdown (settable with the next function, i.e. Cycle programming) it effects 8s of pre-flashing at every Open pulse (job request). Can be useful for setting scheduled maintenance jobs. Y = Enable No = Disabled CYCLE PROGRAMMING: For setting count down of system operation cycles. Settable (in thousands) from 0 to 99 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 function. EXIT PROGRAMMING: Exit from programming and return to display of inputs status.

LEARNING OF OPERATING TIMES
WARNING: During the learning procedure, the safety devices are disabled! Therefore, any and all traffic must be avoided in the path of the gate leaf(s). NOTE: Programming must start with the 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.

LEARNING OF NORMAL TIMES

Normal learning (i.e. without Gatecoders) can be done in two different ways:
SIMPLE LEARNING (WITHOUT SLOW DOWN)
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. 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 pushbutton 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 (WITH SLOW DOWN)

NOTES:

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. At this point gate operator (2) will automatically start to open. 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 (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.

MAINTENANCE
The FAAC recommended maintenance schedule varies according to the frequency of use of the operators, whether lightly used operators (once or twice an hour) or heavily used operators (many cycles per hour). Check the oil. To check the oil level correctly, remove the oil filler cap on the top of the power unit. A dip stick is attached to the bottom of the cap for checking the oil level as shown in Figure 14. Light duty use: check once per year Heavy duty use: check every 6 mo Change the oil. Changing the oil completely in the hydraulic system of the 750 Operator requires removing the power unit and drive unit from their installed positions unless you are able to pump the oil out of both units. Light duty use: change every 4 yr Heavy duty use: change every 2 yr Check the pressure settings. Light duty use: check once per year Heavy duty use: check every 6 mo Check all reversing devices. Every six months, you should verify that all installed reversing devices work properly.
