NFORMATION
Both the installer and the owner and/or operator of this system need to read and understand this installation manual and the safety instructions supplied with other components of the gate system. This information should be retained by the owner and/or operator of the gate.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury or death
1 . RE AD AND FOLLOW ALL
INSTRU C TIONS.
2. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away from children.
3. Always keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH
OF THE MOVING GATE.
4. Test the gate operator monthly. The gate
MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object or stop when an object activates the noncontact sensors. After adjusting the force or the limit of travel, retest the gate operator.
Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator properly can increase the risk of injury or death.
5. Use the emergency release only when the gate is not moving.
6. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the owner’s manual. Have a qualified service person make repairs to gate hardware.
7. The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use separate entrance.
8. SAVE
When installing the photo-beams supplied with this unit two things need to be considered.
1. 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.
2. One or more photobeams shall be located where the risk of entrapment exists, such as the perimeter reachable by the moving gate leaf.
G
ATE
D
ESIGN
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 size of the gate, how often it is used, and how fast the gate operates.
2. 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.
3. Your gate must be properly installed and must work freely in both directions before the automatic operator is installed.
4. 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.
5. Pedestrians should not use a vehicular gate system.
Prevent such inappropriate use by installing separate gates for pedestrians.
6. Exposed, reachable pinch points on a gate are potentially hazardous and must be eliminated or guarded.
7. Outward swinging gates with automatic operators should not open into a public area.
8. The operating controls for an automatic gate must be secured to prevent the unauthorized use of those controls.
9. 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.
10. 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.
I NSTALLATION
1. If you have any question about the safety of the gate operating system, do not install this operator.
Consult the operator manufacturer.
2. The condition of the gate structure itself directly affects the reliability and safety of the gate operator.
3. Only qualified personnel should install this equipment. Failure to meet this requirement could cause severe injury and/or death, for which the manufacturer cannot be held responsible.
4. The installer must provide a main power switch that meets all applicable safety regulations.
5. Clearly indicate on the gate with the 2 warning signs that are included (visible from either side of the gate).
6. It is extremely unsafe to compensate for a damaged gate by increasing hydraulic pressure.
7. 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.
8. 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.

G ENERAL C HARACTERISTICS
The FAAC 400 Operator is an automatic gate operator for a swinging gate leaf. It can accommodate a gate leaf of up to 2000 lb (900 kg) and up to 20 ft (6 m) in length.
The self-contained 400 Operator is an electro-hydraulic unit consisting of an electric motor, a pump, a valve assembly, and a hydraulic cylinder, all housed in an anodized aluminum oil reservoir.
The 400 Operator can be used to swing the gate leaf inward or outward. Most versions provide hydraulic locking in at least one position, either opened or closed, depending on how it was ordered.
The hydraulic lock is a service device rather than a security device. Additional, external locks are recommended under the following conditions:
• You are installing the Model 400 SB
• The length of the gate leaf is 12 ft or more
• The installation requires tight security
• The site is subject to vandalism
• The site is subject to strong or very gusty wind
• You are installing a solid face gate
For gates with two leaves, two operators are installed, one on each leaf, and both are wired to one control panel. In such two-operator gate installations, one leaf can be programmed to open/ close slightly later than the other leaf to accommodate overlapping gate designs.
For its protection, the single-phase, bidirectional motor shuts off automatically if its operating temperature reaches 212 deg F (100 deg C). Also for the protection and proper operation of the 400 Operator, each gate leaf on which it is installed must have a fixed positive stop in both the opened and closed positions.
The 400 Operator also includes a key-operated Manual
Release mechanism and two bypass valves that pre cisely control the force applied to the gate leaf through the 400 Operator.
The Manual Release mechanism is a key-operated device that disengages (or engages) the hydraulic system of the 400 Operator. When the hydraulic system 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 power failures. The two bypass valves are located beneath the locking cap.
You need to adjust the bypass valves to meet the safety standards of FAAC International, Inc. The standards state that the gate leaf should stop if it encounters a force of more than 33 lb (15 kg).
Additional reversing devices (such as inductive loops and photocells) should be installed to provide more complete protection for people and property.
The electronic control panel is a microprocessor-based controller that accepts a wide range of product accessories and reversing devices, thus allowing for flexible gate system design.

NSTRUCTIONS
Installing the 400 Operator involves preparing the gate, installing the operator(s), installing the control panel, and fine-tuning the pressure adjustments on the operator(s).
Note: The following installation instructions assume you are fully capable of installing an operator. This manual does not instruct you in designing a gate, installing a gate, or basic electrical wiring. The installation tasks discussed in this manual are tasks particular to the 400
Operator.
P REPARING THE G ATE
Before installing the 400 Operator, you need to prepare the gate itself for the operator. Be sure to do the following things:
1. Make sure that the gate is plumb.
2. Make sure that the gate moves smoothly on its hinges without excessive friction by swinging it open and closed by hand. Lubricate all the gates’ moving parts.
3. Provide positive stops for the gate leaves in the fully open and fully closed positions (see
Figure 2).

B LEED THE O PERATOR
Air bubbles in hydraulic fluid cause erratic performance in a hydraulic system, so you must rid the 400
Operator of that air to insure smooth operation.
If you have removed the vent screw, the 400 operator should bleed itself. Running the operator should remove any air from the system. If the operator runs smooth throughout the swing, no attempt to further bleed the unit is necessary.
If the operator runs erratic, perform 10 bleeding operations. One bleeding operation consists of automatically opening and closing the gate and then pausing for two minutes. The 2-min pause allows the air bubbles to escape through the vent screw hole.

G ENERAL D ESCRIPTION
The FAAC 455 D control panel is used to operate the following models.
Swing gate operators:
400 412
750 402
422
610/615
760
Barrier gate operators:
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.
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.
O p e n i n g / C l o s i n g t i m e : a d j u s t a b l e from 0 to 120 seconds.
Leaf delay on closing: adjustable from 0 to 28 seconds.
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.
I NSTALLING THE 455 D C ONTROL P ANEL
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
C ONNECT THE M AIN P OWER S UPPLY
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 9 and 11). 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).

AUTION
:
The operators are grounded only by the grounded circuit the installer provides.
U SING A J UNCTION B OX
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.
In order to wire motor 2 in a bi-parting system,
Page 15 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.
C HECK THE M OTOR ’ S D IRECTION OF
R OTATION
WARNING! The pressure valves are not preset at the factory and may operate a gate leaf with enough force to endanger people and seriously damage the gate leaf itself.
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 12 on page 17).
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.

N
OTE
: The 455 D Control Panel 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 threebutton 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.

T
IME
: 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.
L EAF D ELAY : 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.

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.
A UTOMATED S YSTEM T EST
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.

T HE 400 O PERATOR
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).
Operators used in a humid/ salt air climate should follow the heavy duty use schedule.
Check the oil.
To check the oil level correctly, remove the locking cap from the operator. The operator should be at least half full.
Note: You will not be able to see the oil level.
Use something flexible (i.e. A piece of stranded wire) to act as a dipstick.
If the operator is too full, it will bleed oil out the vent hole.
Light duty use: check once per year
Heavy duty use: check every 6 mo
Change the oil.
Changing the oil requires removing the operator from its installed position. Remove the locking cap and drain the oil out of the hole under the cap. Refill the operator with the proper new oil (see page 4).
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

ESIGN
• 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.
• 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 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.
• 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.
• Your gate must be properly installed and must work freely in both directions operator is installed.
before
the automatic
• Exposed, reachable pinch points on a gate are potentially hazardous and must be eliminated or guarded.
• 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.
• It is extremely unsafe to compensate for a damaged gate by over tightening a clutch or increasing hydraulic pressure.
• Outward swinging gates with automatic operators should not open into a public area.
• 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.

ROUBLESHOOTING
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.
P
ROBLEM
: T
HE GATE DOES NOT RESPOND TO AN
ACTIVATING SIGNAL
.
S OLUTION :
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.
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.
P
ROBLEM
: T

P
ROBLEM
: T
HE GATE OPENS BUT DOES NOT CLOSE
.
S OLUTION :
Make sure you have selected the desired operating mode.
Verify that the reversing devices are working properly.
FSWOP and FSWCL should be illuminated except when a reversing device is triggered. If either does not illuminate, then one of your reversing devices is preventing the gate from responding to your signal.
Check your reversing devices.
If no reversing devices are installed, make sure a circuit is installed between appropriate terminals.
P
ROBLEM
: T
HE GATE DOES NOT FULLY OPEN
(
OR
CLOSE
).
S OLUTION :
Increase the bypass pressure(s) to see if the hydraulic system needs more pressure.
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 400 CBAC has a rated opening time of 17 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.

S OLUTION :
Check the oil level in the operator.
Make sure the Manual Release mechanism has fully engaged the hydraulic operation of the operator.
Bleed the air from the hydraulic system. (See page 11).
Make sure that a flexible gate leaf is not the problem. If the gate leaf flexes, then stiffen the gate or use a slower operator.
