Electromechanical oil-bath gearmotor, supplied with a pinion for the rack. Available in versions: - 746 E R Z16 with pinion Z16 - 746 E R Z20 with pinion Z20 Irreversible system In order to be operated manually, the gearmotor has to be released using the special key.
16 Closing and opening magnetic limit switches (magnets, spacers, mounting hardware and screws) COMPONENTS SUPPLIED SEPARATELY The installation requires the following FAAC components that are supplied separately: Steel rack with spacers (to be screwed or welded on) Nylon rack with mounting hardware - for leaves having a max weight of 400 kg...
3.8 DIMENSIONS Centre distances 6 3.9 MANUAL OPERATION Releasing the gearmotor In order to operate the leaf manually, the gearmotor has to be released using the key provided. Disconnect the power supply from the automation before releasing the gearmotor. During manual operation, gently guide the leaf the whole way. Do not push it and let it slide freely.
4. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS 4.1 MECHANICAL REQUIREMENTS If the area of installation gives rise to the risk of impact by vehicles, provide an appropriate protective structure to protect the gearmotor. The mechanical structural components must comply with the require- ments of EN 12604. Before installing the automation, the suitability of the mechanical requirements must be established and any work that is necessary in order to meet them carried out.

5. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION The installation must comply with standard EN 12453. Mark off the work TOOLS REQUIRED site and prohibit access/transit. The tools required are indicated below ( 6). Installation must be carried out when it is not raining. In case of rain, a suitable shelter for the gearmotor must be provided until the mechanical and Use appropriate tools and equipment in working environments which comply electronic installation has been completed.
5.2 INSTALLING THE GEARMOTOR RISKS H = 20 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Carry out the work with the power supply disconnected. 1. Make sure that the concrete of the plinth has set completely, then adjust all the support nuts to the height H indicated (12). 2.
5.3 INSTALLING THE RACK RISKS PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT - DO NOT weld the spacers onto the racks. - DO NOT weld the elements of the rack together. - DO NOT apply grease or other lubricants to the racks. Mounting the rack involves moving the leaf manually several times.
STEEL RACK - SCREW-ON FASTENINGS Rack thickness: 8 mm for leaves weighing up to 400 kg max 12 mm for leaves weighing more than 400 kg The rack installation accessories contain screws for aluminium or steel leaves.
NYLON RACK Rack thickness: 20 mm for leaves weighing up to 400 kg max. 1. Close the leaf manually. 2. Rest an element of the rack on the pinion (23). Make sure that it is horizontal using a spirit level. 3.
5.4 ADJUSTING AND CHECKING 1. In order for it to work correctly, the rack must never rest on the pinion. Turn all the support nuts clockwise by half a turn (25) in order to lower the gearmotor. In this way, a constant distance between pinion and rack is obtained for the entire length of travel (26-A).
5.6 INSTALLING THE COVER The cover protects the electronic components and prevents access to moving parts. Never leave the gearmotor unattended without the cover fitted until installation has been completed. Install the cover once the gearmotor has been set-up. With reference to 29, apply the adhesive sign 1 to the cover: risk of fingers and hands being trapped due to the rotation of the pinion and the movement of the rack.

CONTROL DEVICES AND ACCESSORIES W.L. Connect the control devices and the accessories to terminal board J1 (36). TX-FSW - Multiple contacts on the same NC input must be connected in series. 24 V 500 mA - Multiple contacts on the same NO input must be connected in parallel. TERMINAL BOARD J1 Connect a push button or another type of NO device.
Install a FAAC 5-pin radio receiver board or a decoder board that is compatible, in terms of frequency and coding technology, with the FAAC radio controls that are used: - a single-channel system only enables the OPEN A radio command - a two-channel system enables the OPEN A and OPEN B/CLOSE radio com- mands (according to the programmed operating logic).
7.4 INSTALLING THE CABLE GLANDS 1. Remove the sheath in order to separate the individual wires. 2. With reference to 39, position elements 1 and 2 (with the slot of each inserted in the pin). Arrange the wires on the rubber strip. 3.
8. START-UP RISKS PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Install the board cover before switching on the power supply. During operation there is a risk of fingers and hands being trapped between the rack, pinion and cover. Under certain conditions, as a result of prolonged continuous operation, the body of the gearmotor can reach high temperatures.
8.1 INSTALLING THE LIMIT SWITCHES Installing the limit switches involves moving the leaf manually several times. Comply with the safety information § Manual operation. The two limit switches are marked with different symbols, square / circle. 1. Assemble the limit switches. Insert the spacer (if necessary) as indi- cated according to the thickness of the rack (41).

8.4 ADJUSTING THE ANTI-CRUSHING SYSTEM The anti-crushing system is realised by a combination of the limitation of static force exerted by the operator in the event of impact and the reverse movement following the detection of the obstacle. We suggest: - start by setting the electronic force to the maximum (function in Basic Programming) - limit the static force to a value lower than 150 N...
9. PUTTING INTO SERVICE 9.1 FINAL OPERATIONS RISKS PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT 1. Make sure that the forces generated by the leaf are within the limits permitted by the current regulations. Use an impact force tester in accordance with standard EN 12453. For non-EU countries, if there are no specific local regulations, the static force must be less than 150 N.
10.2 PHOTOCELLS FSW CL Photocells are additional devices that reduce the likelihood of contact with the moving leaf, but they are not safety devices according to standard EN 12978. Use photocells with a NC relay contact. If multiple photocells are used, the contacts must be connected in series.
10.3 SENSITIVE EDGES W.L. Use sensitive edges with a NC relay contact. If multiple sensitive edges are TX-FSW used, the contacts must be connected in series. If the SAFE input is not used, it must be bridged to terminal TX-FSW. 1.

Check condition, fastening and correct operation. Clean the seats. Access control Check that the gate opens only when an authorised user is recognised. Complete automation system Check that the automation operates correctly, following the set logic, when using the various control devices. Check that the gate moves correctly - smooth, regular and without abnormal noise.
52 13.1 SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS Systems that use FAAC series 746 E R gearmotors are designed for use with vehicular and/or pedestrian traffic. The user must be in good physical and mental health and be aware of and responsible for the dangers which use of the product can lead to.
13.2 EMERGENCY USE Releasing the gearmotor Environmental phenomena, even occasional, such as ice, snow and strong wind may hinder correct operation of the automation and affect component integrity and may become a potential source of danger. In emergencies or if there is a fault, turn off the power supply to the automation .
