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. READ AND FOLLO W ALL

INS TRUCTIONS .

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 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 photo-beams shall be located where the risk of entrapment exists, such as the perimeter reachable by the moving gate.

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 photo beams 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.

HARACTERISTICS

The U.L. listed Model 620 or 640 Barrier gate system includes a barrier beam and a cabinet housing the hydraulic operator and control panel.

The main differences between the 620 and the 640 Barrier systems are in the length of the barrier beam and in the speed of operation. The 620 system controls beams that are

6-1/2 to 13 ft (2 to 4.5 m) in length and offers extremely fast opening and closing times. The 620 is ideal for singlelane vehicular traffic in moderate to heavy traffic. The 620

Barrier can also be articulated (jointed) for use with low overhead clearances or skirted to prevent vehicles from passing beneath the beam.

The 640 Barrier system is for barrier beams that are 13 to

23 ft (4 to 7 m) long and is suitable for wide entrances and heavy-duty applications. The 640 Barrier can also be skirted

(Aluminum Beams Only).

The barrier beam is attached to a heavy-duty, lockable metal cabinet bolted to a cement foundation. Inside the cabinet are the operator and the control panel. Important metal parts of the barrier unit have been powder coated to resist the effects of rust and smog.

The motor housing holds the oil that drives the pistons and helps to cool the motor. The temperature of the oil is monitored, and in high oil temperatures a cooling fan automatically turns on for further cooling.

The hydraulic motor of either the 620 or 640 operator drives two single-acting pistons. Both are attached to the rocker arm, and the rocker arm rotates the barrier beam. A compression spring attached to one piston serves to counterbalance the beam, and an adjustable braking feature guarantees smooth movement of the beam through its travel and prevents damage to the beam and cabinet from abrupt stopping.

Some notable features enhance the reliable and safe operation of the 620 or 640 Barrier. First, a hydraulic locking device holds the beam in both the opened and closed positions. Second, the metal cabinet that houses the operator can be opened only with a key.

Third, the barrier includes a Manual Release function to disengage the beam from its hydraulic operation so that you can raise or lower the beam by hand.

Fourth, two adjustable hydraulic valves precisely control the force of the beam in the opening and closing directions.

An optional solenoid valve is available for automatically disengaging the hydraulic system in the event of power failures.

Both the 620 and 640 Barriers are supplied with the

FAAC 625 BLD Control Panel. The control panel allows you to select the following:

•

•

•

Logical mode of operation

Braking time of the beam

Pause time between opening and closing

The control panel also provides terminal connections for a number of other reversing and gate system accessories.

Furthermore, the control panel provides a number of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and a digital display for easily diagnosing any operational problems.

ECHANISM

WARNING! You must have the manual release key to access the function of the manual release.

Using any other tools could damage the manual release mechanism.

The Manual Release function for the 620 or 640 Barrier is engaged with a key in the operator cabinet on the lower right side. (See figure 2)

Using the Manual Release key to disengage the beam from hydraulic operation allows you to operate the barrier by hand.

You disconnect the hydraulic operation of the beam by turning the Manual Release key counterclockwise. Then you can raise or lower the barrier by hand.

Manual operation of the beam is important during the installation process and can be useful during power interruptions or power failures.

To re-engage the hydraulic operation of the barrier, turn the key clockwise until the mechanism is “snug” tight.

WARNING! Do not install the barrier in such a way that the beam moves within 2 feet (610 mm) of a rigid object.

Installing the 620 or 640 Barrier System consists of the following general steps:

•

Determining the orientation of the installation

•

Preparing the forms for the concrete mounting slab and conduit

•

Mounting the cabinet on the concrete slab

•

Connecting the main power source to the operator

•

Wiring the control panel for operational logic

•

Wiring additional accessories into the control panel

•

Decreasing the hydraulic pressures

•

Programming the control panel

•

Attaching the barrier beam

•

Testing the operation of the beam

Note: The following installation instructions assume you are fully capable of installing an electronic barrier gate. This manual does not instruct you in designing a gate, pouring the cement foundation, or basic electrical wiring. The installation tasks discussed in this manual are tasks peculiar to the 620 and 640 Barriers.

NSTALLATION

You first need to determine whether your operator is set up for a right-hand or left-hand installation (see Figure 3).

Open the panel door of the operator cabinet with the key provided and lift the door up and away from the cabinet, taking care not to disconnect the cabling to the fan. Look at the two pistons to see which has the compression spring surrounding it. Compare your operator with Figure

3 and use the figure to help you determine the orientation of your installation.

If your operator is not in the correct orientation, turning the cabinet around 180 deg is the easiest way to solve the problem. We suggest you call us if your installation site cannot accommodate this solution since the orientation of the barrier can be changed with about an hour’s worth of work.

NOTE: It make no difference if the hoses are crossed or not.

You need to set the concrete forms to provide a cement footing that is a minimum of 18 by 18 in. (46 by 46 cm) and that is poured a minimum of 18 in. (46 cm) below the ground level or just below the frost line, whichever is greater (see Figure 4). (Your soil conditions will also affect the size of the cement footing.) To help prevent rust, the top of your cement footing should be above ground level.

Within the form boundaries you must locate the electrical conduit so that it will protrude through the foundation plate (the plate is provided as an option) and above the top of the foundation plate about

1/2 in. (1.3 cm).

The exact placement of the conduit is determined partly by the foundation plate you use and more importantly by the access holes in the bottom of the operator cabinet (see Figure 5). If you choose to supply your own foundation plate, be sure to use steel that is 3/8 in. (1 cm) thick for the plate and be sure to provide a hole large enough to accommodate your two electrical conduits, one for high-voltage wire and one for lowvoltage wire. In addition, your foundation plate needs four 1/2-in. (1-1/4 cm) anchor bolts that extend at least

6-1/2 in. (16-1/2 cm) into the cement footing. The anchor bolts should be positioned to match the holes in the bottom of your operator's cabinet.

After the concrete is poured in the forms and before it sets, place the foundation plate in the cement so that the top of the plate is level and flush with the top of the cement.

Allow the concrete to set a minimum of two full days before you mount the operator cabinet.

With the key provided, open the operator's panel door and lift the door away from the cabinet. It may be necessary on your model of operator to disconnect the wiring to the fan on the panel door to allow you to more easily handle the heavy cabinet.

Set the operator cabinet on the foundation plate, aligning the holes in the bottom of the cabinet with the bolts and conduit protruding above the foundation plate. Bolt the cabinet to the foundation plate and cement footing. If necessary, reconnect the wiring to the fan on the panel door.

Before connecting the main power to your barrier, you must remove the vent screw on the hydraulic power pack.

Midway along the top, left edge of the hydraulic power pack is a 3 mm Allen screw. Remove it now. Failure to remove the screw can result in erratic operation of the barrier beam. Do not throw the screw away in case you ever need to transport the barrier unit or its hydraulic power pack.

WARNING! Do not install the barrier in such a way that the beam moves within 2 feet (610 mm) of a rigid object.

Before you attach the barrier beam, be sure you have disconnected the barrier from hydraulic operation by means of the Manual Release mechanism (turning the key counterclockwise).

Next you attach the beam to the operator cabinet with the beam in a vertical position. See Figure 8 if you are attaching an aluminum beam to a model 620 operator ,see Figure 9 if you are attaching an aluminum beam to a model 640 operator. (Wooden beams require additional sandwich plates).

First, be sure the hydraulic operation of the beam is still disengaged (the Manual Release key should be turned counterclockwise). Next, move the beam by hand from the fully opened position (vertical) to the fully closed position (horizontal) and back to the fully opened position. If the positions are not perfectly vertical and perfectly horizontal, then adjust the mechanical stops as necessary (see Figure 7) using a 17mm socket wrench. The jam nut must be loosened first and tightened last.

PRING

The compression spring should be adjusted so that it holds the beam in any position that it is placed while in manual mode. (Manual mode is discussed on page 7 shown in Fig. 2)

Move the beam by hand to a half-opened position. The beam should stay there when you remove your hand.

Note: All compression spring adjustments should be made with the beam in the vertical (open) position.

If the beam drifts toward the closed position, turn the adjuster nut (shown in Fig. 10) clockwise to tighten the compression spring.

If the beam drifts toward the opened position, turn the adjuster nut (shown in Fig. 10) counterclockwise to loosen the compression spring.

.

Note: Proper adjustment of the spring will counterbalance the beam. This will allow the minimal pressure setting necessary to move the beam in a smooth movement.

NOTE: The spanner wrench shown in figure 10 is NOT sold by FAAC or needed top make this adjustment.

RESSURES

Now that the beam is attached, re-engage the hydraulic operation of the barrier by rotating the Manual Release key clockwise.

Send an opening activating signal to the barrier. The signal should open the barrier. If it does not open, increase the pressure of the opening bypass valve (the green valve) by turning the screw clockwise in small,

1/8- turn increments until the beam does open.

Test the closing of the barrier in the same way. If the beam fails to move in the closing direction, then increase the pressure of the closing bypass valve (the red valve) by turning the screw clockwise in small increments until the beam does close.

Remember that you should set the bypass pressure valves so that the beam works with the least pressure necessary. It is a safety feature of the barrier that the beam should apply no more than about 33 lb (15 kg) force against any obstacle it might encounter.

WARNING! For maximum safety to people and property, use photo eyes and other non-contact reversing devices in addition to adjusting the bypass pressure valves to the minimum settings.

WARNING! Turn the main power off before you make any electrical connections or set any switches inside the control panel box.

The emergency bypass solenoid automatically disengages the hydraulic system of the barrier beam when the main power is not available. This allows the barrier to be raised by hand so that people and vehicles can safely pass during power interruptions and failures without having to manual release the barrier.

Note: Once the emergency bypass solenoid has disengaged the hydraulic system and once you have raised the beam by hand, you cannot lower the barrier beam until the power is restored or by using the manual release key.

If you are installing the optional emergency bypass solenoid, you must first turn off the main power and disengage the hydraulic system by using the Manual

Release key.

Then you disassemble the hydraulic lines between the pistons and the operator so that you can install new hydraulic pipe fittings.

After installing the new pipe fittings, install the emergency bypass solenoid as shown in figure ()

After connecting the solenoid, you need to connect the hydraulic lines between the operator and the pistons.

How you connect the lines depends on the orientation of your barrier installation (see Figure 11).

Finally, connect the solenoid to your main power line so that it can sense when power is or is not available

(see Figure 11).

Re-engage the hydraulic system with the Manual

Release key so that you can test the installed solenoid.

To test the solenoid, turn off the power to the barrier. If the solenoid works, you should be able to raise the beam but not lower it after raising it. You should be able to lower the beam only after turning the power back on.

WARNING! Do not install the barrier in such a way that the beam moves within 2 feet (610 mm) of a rigid object.

Changing the length or type of the beam requires installing a different balancing compression spring.

Make sure you have the correct compression spring

(designed for a particular weight of beam).

The installer is responsible for making sure that the compression spring is the correct spring for the barrier beam.

The following tables show which springs are designed for various beam types and lengths. To check for the part number of the compression spring in your barrier, check the tag attached to the spring previously installed.

If it is necessary for you to replace the spring in a cabinet with another compression spring, do the following. First, turn off the main power to the operator and then open the cabinet panel. Turn the Manual

Release key counterclockwise. Then move the beam by hand to the fully opened position.

P a g e 1 3

Unbolt the piston with the compression spring from the rocker arm. Then very carefully unscrew the cap holding the compression spring by hand to the left to remove the spring from the piston. Remove the spring from the piston.

NOTE: Hold the bottom of the piston cylinder to keep the piston rod from sliding out of the cylinder.

Install the correct compression spring by placing it over the piston and screwing it into place with adjusting cap.

Then bolt the piston to the rocker arm and reinstall the steel cross member. Re-engage the hydraulics by turning the Manual Release key clockwise.

Be sure to recheck the tension of the compression spring before you turn on the main power to the operator. Then be sure to adjust the hydraulic pressures.

ESCRIPTION

The FAAC 624 BLD control panel is used to operate the following models.

Barrier gate operators:

620 115VAC/230VAC

640 115VAC/230VAC

The 624 BLD programming controls the following:

Operating logic: A, S, E, EP, B, C and other logics.

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: Adjustable from 0 to 50.

Pause time between opening and closing: adjustable from 0 to 4 minutes.

Opening/Closing time: adjustable from 0 to 4 minutes.

Deceleration Time: programmable

The 624 BLD control panel is installed in an enclosure that is conveniently located inside the barrier cabinet.

Any addition enclosures should be rated for outdoor use and be water proof.

The 624 BLD 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.

WARNING! Turn the main power off before you make any electrical connections or before programming.

If the panel is installed in the barrier system than the main power needs to be wired to the switch that is explained in the barrier section of this manual.

Wire the main power supply to control panel terminals in block J9 (Figure 1C). 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

J9 and connect the power wires to the terminals labeled

N (neutral) and L (line).

OTE

: Your standard 220VAC/115VAC power so ur ce meet s t he speci ficat ion for

230VAC/115VAC, +6 or -10%.

All wiring should conform to applicable electrical codes and all wiring and fittings should be weather­proof and/or suitable for burial.

To connect the main power source to the barrier, remove the cover of the main power switch at the top of the inside of the barrier cabinet. Then run the main power wires from the base of the cabinet up through flexible conduit that is on the cabinet door side of the steel cross member. Run the wires and conduit through the connector on the right side of the junction box for the main power switch.

C

AUTION

: Do not run the main power conduit up the metal channel in the right front of the cabinet.

The right front channel houses wiring for the limit switches and is appropriate only for low-voltage wiring.

Connect the main power ground wire to the ground screw in the junction box. Connect the other wires to the line side of the switch (see Figure 4C). The 624 BLD control panel is already connected to the load side of the main power switch.

C

AUTION

: U.L. listing requires the use of flexible conduit around the main power wiring from the base of the barrier cabinet to the flexible conduit connector on the junction box of the main power switch.

Connect 230VAC/115VAC to this side of the switch.

PROGRAMMING

To program the 624 BLD control panel, you must access the “PROGRAMMING” mode.

Programming is in two parts: 1st LEVEL and 2nd LEVEL.

NOTE: Modification of the programming parameters is immediately effective, whereas complete memory-storage occurs only on exiting programming and returning to the view of the automation status St. If you cut power to the unit before returning to view the status, all the programming changes made will be lost.

NOTE: You can return to viewing the status from any point of programming at any level, by pressing keys “F” and “—” at the same time.

NOTE: To restore the programming back to default settings, press keys “+”, “—”, and “F” at the same time and hold them down for 5 seconds.

1ST LEVEL PROGRAMMING

To access 1ST LEVEL PROGRAMMING, use push-button

F:

•

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

•

If you release the push-button, the display shows the value or parameter of that function, which can be changed by using the “+” and/or “—” keys.

•

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 the F pushbutton to exit programming, and the display resumes showing the input status.

The following table indicates the sequence of functions accessible in 1st LEVEL PROGRAMMING:

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 624BLD control panel only.

PROBLEM:

The beam is closed and won't open in

response to an activating signal.

SOLUTION:

Make sure the hydraulic operation of the barrier beam is engaged: The Manual Release key should be turned clockwise until snug.

The OPEN indicator LED should illuminate when you send an activating signal. If it does not, temporarily short terminals 5 and 10. If the short causes the beam to open, then the problem exists in the activating device itself.

If you have no stop device wired to terminal 8, then make sure you have a jumper installed between terminals 8 and 10 on the control panel. The STOP LED should be on.

The FCC indicator light on the control panel should not be illuminated. If it is illuminated, then the gate is not fully closed. Adjust the position of the closing limit switch plate.

Try increasing the opening hydraulic pressure in small increments by turning the opening bypass valve screw

(the green valve) clockwise.

Verify that you have the correct compression spring for your barrier beam. If you have the correct spring, check that the spring will hold the beam in any position during manual operation. If the spring doesn't hold the beam in any position, try tightening the compression spring until the beam is held and then recheck the hydraulic operation of the beam.

PROBLEM:

The beam is open and won't close in response to an activating signal.

SOLUTION:

Check the LEDs on the control panel. The FCA light should be off, and the FSW, STOP, FCC, and

EMERGENCY lights should be on if the FCA light is on, then the gate is not fully opened. Move the opening limit switch plate closer to the opening limit switch

.

If you have no reversing devices installed and you are operating in A or E mode, make sure you have a jumper installed between terminals 7 and 19. (The FSW light should be on.)

If the FSW light is off, some reversing device you have installed is being continuously triggered and is preventing the beam from closing. Check your reversing devices.

If your activating device has two buttons—one for opening/closing and one for stop—and you are operating in P mode, then make sure you have a jumper between terminals 2 and 5.

If you have no stop device wired to terminal 8, then make sure you have a jumper installed between terminals 8 and

10 on the control panel.

If you have no emergency device wired to terminal 9, then make sure you have a jumper installed between terminals

9 and 10 on the control panel.

Increase the pressure of the closing bypass valve (the red valve) by turning the screw clockwise in small increments to see if the beam needs more hydraulic pressure for the closing direction.

PROBLEM:

The beam is half opened and will neither open nor close in response to the activating device.

SOLUTION:

The barrier may be in jam status because something or someone has physically prevented the beam from opening or closing. Reset the barrier and then try sending another activating signal.

Check the FSW indicator light. It should be on. If it is not illuminated, then check the wiring on your safety devices.
