Installing the Warning Signs This FAAC swing gate operator is supplied with two warning signs to alert people that a possible hazard exists and that appropriate actions should be taken to avoid the hazard or to reduce exposure to it.
MODEL 400 OPERATOR These instructions apply to the following models: Dimensions 400 CBC, 400 CBAC, 400 SB, 400 SBS, 400 CBACR, 400 CBAC EG, 400 SB EG. Figure 2 The FAAC Model 400 Swing Gate Operator consists of an electric pump and a hydraulic piston which transmits drive to the gate leaf.
3.3 General Rules for Determining Installation 3. INSTALLING THE MODEL 400 Dimensions If the dimensions indicated in table A or B cannot be 3.1. Preliminary Checks achieved, the following must be considered in order to calculate different measurements: To ensure a correctly operating automated system, the struc- ture of the gate must satisfy the following requirements: •...

Figure 8 Secure the operator to the rear attachment with the supplied screws (Fig. 6). Screw, halfway down, the front attachment onto the rod (Fig. 8, Ref.1). Tighten with the supplied nut. Release the operator (see Section 7). Figure 6 11.) Temporarily release the operator from the bracket and then permanently weld the bracket to the leaf.
(Figure 14A). Anti-Crushing System Adjustments Figure 14 The Model 400 has an anti-crushing safety device which limits the operator’s force when an obstacle is encountered while the gate is moving. To adjust the intervention threshold of the anti-crushing system, temporarily open the release cover.

OPERATING MODES DETAILED DESCRIPTION (1) If maintained, it prolongs the pause until disabled by the command (timer function) (2) If a new pulse occurs within 2 seconds after reversing, it immediately stops operation. (3) During the partial opening cycle, an OPEN A pulse causes total opening. NB.: Effects on other active pulse inputs in brackets.

16. POWER AND ACCESSORIES CONNECTIONS AC Power Wiring Guidelines Magnetic Lock Connection Check local wiring codes in all cases and follow all When connecting a magnetic lock to the system, local building codes. Wiring and hookup should be use Maglock Relay Kit (P/N: 2352) and connect it as performed by qualified electricians/installers only.
• 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, the 400 CBAC has an opening time of 17 seconds, therefore you should set the time to 20 or 25 seconds.
