IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Important Safety Instructions WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH: Important Installation Instructions 1. Install the gate operator only when the following conditions have been met: • READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. • • Never let children operate or play with the gate controls. Keep remote controls away from children. The operator is appropriate for the type and usage class of the gate. • • Always keep people and objects away from the gate.
General Safety Precautions Important Installation Instructions (continued) 9. For gate operators that utilize a contact sensor (edge sensor or similar): • Locate one or more contact sensors where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as at the leading edge, trailing edge, and post mounted both inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal slide gate • Locate one or more contact sensors at the bottom edge of a vehicular vertical lift gate.
UL325 Gate Operator Classifications RESIDENTIAL VEHICULAR GATE OPERATOR CLASS I A vehicular gate operator system intended for use in a single family dwelling, garage or associated parking area. COMMERCIAL / GENERAL ACCESS VEHICULAR GATE OPERATOR CLASS II A vehicular gate operator system intended for use in commercial locations or buildings such as multi-family housing units (five or more single family units), hotels, parking garages, retail stores or other buildings that service the general public.
M o d e l S 4 1 8 Swin g Ga t e Op e ra t o r 1. DESCRIPTION The FAAC Model S418 automated system for swing-leaf gates is an electro-mechanical operator which transmits its movement to the gate leaf by means of a worm-screw system. The irreversible system guarantees mechanical locking of the leaf when the motor is not operating. An easy-to-use release device permits movement of the leaf in case of malfunction or a power outage.
2. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Technical Specifications Power Supply (VDC) Nominal Power (W) Absorbed Current (A) Maximum Thrust Force (lbf) Stroke (inches) Cycles per day at 68 °F (approx) Class of operation Rod speed (inches/sec) Maximum Size of Leaf (feet) Ambient Operating Temperature (°F) Operator Weight (lbs) 3.2 S418 24 35 1.5 405 13 3/4 1 80 Residential 0.7 12 -4 to 131 13.2 Protection Class 3. 3.1 The structure of the gate directly influences the reliability and safety of the automated system.
If the size of the pillar or the position of the hinge does not permit the proper installation of the operator, a niche will have to be made in the pillar (as indicated in Figure 6) in order not to change value A (Figure 4). The size of the niche must be such as to permit an easy installation of the operator, not limiting its rotation and allowing activation of the manual release device. 3.3.1 General Rules for Determining Installation Values • To obtain opening of the leaf to 90°: A+B=C.
2. Secure the rear bracket, as indicated in Figure 10, so as to follow the A and B values determined previously. 2⅛ Dimensions in Inches Fig. 12 Fig. 10 3. Secure the rear fitting of the operator as indicated in Figure 11. 1⅜ Dimensions in Inches Fig. 13 5. Secure the front bracket as indicated in Figure 14. Fig. 11 4. Check that the front fitting is in the position indicated in Figure 12 (with the mechanical stop at closing) or in Figure 13 (with no mechanical stop at closing).
6. Secure the operator to the rear bracket using the appropriate bolt supplied, as indicated in Figure 15. If, during the test, the operator hits the leaf of the gate, value E may be increased, see Figure 4, up to a maximum of 4½ inches, using appropriate spacers placed between the front bracket and the leaf of the gate. 11. Perform any corrective measures necessary and repeat the procedures from Step 9. 12. Permanently secure the front bracket, using a suitable securing system as indicated in Figure 18.
4. Move the mechanical stop until it is close to the front fitting, as indicated in Figure 22. 5. Tighten the securing screw once again. The mechanical stop is coupled to a toothed sector, Figure 21 Ref. 2. In the case of obstructions during movement, check that the coupling is free. DO NOT FORCE IT. Fig. 19 4. Move the mechanical stop until it is close to the front fitting, as indicated in Figure 20. Fig. 22 Fig. 20 5. Tighten the securing screw once again.
To keep the operator in manual mode, the release device must be left in its current (unlocked) position and the system must not be powered. Fig. 24 Fig. 23 5.1 RESTORING NORMAL OPERATION To restore normal operation mode, proceed as follows: 6. MAINTENANCE In order to ensure correct operation and constant safety over time, make a general check of the system every six months, paying special attention to the safety devices. 1. Ensure that the system is not powered. 2.

(Connect them in series) Fig. A3 Fig. A4 The E024U board allows the connection of several safety devices (for example photocells). With photocells you can activate the FAILSAFE function, which, before each movement of the operator, tests each fotocells. In case the test fails the movement is inhibited. To activate this function set to ON the dip-switch N.
