FAAC 844 3 PHASE OPERATOR - Heavy duty industrial AC operator for gates
weighing up to 2200kg.
The principal features of both systems are as follows:
The CENTURION gearboxes are manufactured from a high tech engineering
polymer to provide a robust, durable and corrosion free product. The moulded
shape is attractive and modern in design. The FAAC gearboxes are made from high
pressure die cast aluminium.
The gearboxes are all self-locking which ensures peace of mind as the gate cannot
be forced open.
The systems offer a manual override which is easily operated and secured behind a
lockable door (or lockable handle in the case of the FAAC 746 & 844).
The electronic controller which coordinates the functions of the system is integral
with the gearbox housing (in the case of the FAAC844 3 phase model, the controller
is mounted in a separate wall mounted enclosure). The electronics is housed inside
a dust protected enclosure under the main cover. The lockable door prevents the
cover from being removed and secures the manual override mechanism.
A revolutionary aspect of the CENTURION range of operators is the limit switch
mechanism. Mounted internally, and therefore tamper proof, the limit switch
monitors the speed and location of the gate, ensuring reliable and safe anti-crushing
protection and accurate position control. The FAAC 746 & 844 models employ an
inductive proximity limit switch which has no moving parts thereby improving
reliability. For added reliability all CENTURION controllers are fitted with advanced
lightning protection designed and tested in conjunction with the CSIR.
