The operator you choose to install on your gatemust be designed for the type and size of your gateand for the frequency with which you use theoperator.3. Your gate must be properly installed and must workfreely in both directions before the automaticoperator is installed.4. An automatic operator should be installed on theinside of the property/fence line. Do not install theoperator on the public side of the property/fenceline.5. Pedestrians should not use a vehicular gate system.Prevent such inappropriate use by installingseparate gates for pedestrians.6. Exposed, reachable pinch points on a gate arepotentially hazardous and must be eliminated orguarded.7. Outward swinging gates with automatic operatorsshould not open into a public area.8. The operating controls for an automatic gate mustbe secured to prevent the unauthorized use of thosecontrols.9. The controls for an automatic gate should belocated far enough from the gate so that a usercannot accidentally touch the gate when operatingthe controls.10. An automatic gate operator should not be installedon a gate if people can reach or extend their armsor legs through the gate. Such gates should beguarded or screened to prevent such access.When installing the photo-beams supplied with thisunit two things need to be considered.1. Care should be exercised to reduce the risk ofnuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle, tripsthe sensor while the gate is in motion.2. One or more photobeams shall be locatedwhere the risk of entrapment exists, such asthe perimeter reachable by the moving gateleaf.GATE DESIGN1. A gate is a potential traffic hazard, so it is importantthat you locate the gate far enough awayfrom the road to eliminate the potential of trafficgetting backed up. This distance is affected by theINSTALLATION1. If you have any question about the safety of thegate operating system, do not install this operator.Consult the operator manufacturer.2. The condition of the gate structure itself directlyaffects the reliability and safety of the gateoperator.3. Only qualified personnel should install thisequipment. Failure to meet this requirement couldcause severe injury and/or death, for which themanufacturer cannot be held responsible.4. The installer must provide a main power switch thatmeets all applicable safety regulations.5. Clearly indicate on the gate with the 2 warning signsthat are included (visible from either side of thegate).

Adjustable from 0 to 50.Caution: For all hydraulic operators, the torquemust be programmed to the maximum (50)setting.Pause time between opening and closing:adjustable from 0 to 240 seconds.Opening/Closing time: adjustablefrom 0 to 120 seconds.Leaf delay on closing: adjustable from 0 to 28seconds.The 455 D control panel should be installed in anenclosure that is conveniently located as close aspossible to the gate operator. All electricalconnections from the control panel to the operatormust be made in a weatherproof junction box.The 455 D control panel requires a single-phasepower supply voltage (115 VAC [±10%] or 230 VAC[+6 or -10%], 50–60 Hz). The power supply should beprotected by a 15 amp dedicated circuit breaker (notprovided).The installer is responsible for grounding the operatorsystem, for providing the main power breaker switch,and for making sure that the entire gate system meetsall applicable electrical codes. The installer should referto the installation manual for a given operator for moreinformation.NOTE: An installation is U.L. compliant onlywhen you install the FAAC operators accordingto the UL325 standards.INSTALLING THE 455 D CONTROL PANELLocate the control panel in the most convenient positionpossible, considering the movement of the gate.Installing the control panel consists of the followinggeneral steps:• Connecting the main power to the controlpanel• 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 modesCONNECT THE MAIN POWER SUPPLYWARNING! Turn the main power off before youmake any electrical connections or beforeprogramming.Wire the main power supply to control panel terminalsin block J3 (see Figures 9 and 11). The installer isresponsible for insuring that a separate, groundedcircuit protected by a circuit breaker is between thecontrol panel and the main power supply. All wiringshould conform to applicable electrical codes, and allwiring and fittings should be weatherproof and/orsuitable for burial.Connect the ground to the grounding terminal in blockJ3 and connect the power wires to the terminals labeledN (neutral) and L (line).NOTE: For a 230V system, a neutral is notneeded. Connect one 115V line to the L (Line)and a second 115V line to the N (Neutral).

Usethe LEDs and the next table to determine if theaccessory devices you have installed are operatingproperly.Electric Locks: An electric lock can be wired to the455 D in terminals 18 and 21 (12Vac pulsed provided).If a reversing stroke is needed to allow the electric lockto release, this must be done in advancedprogramming.See page 19 for the connections for a magnetic lockingdevice.WARNING LIGHT: Connect a warning light toterminals 18 and 20 in the group labeled W.LIGHTin terminal block J1 and J5. The terminals providean output voltage of 24 VDC, maximum power 3Watts. This output voltage will power most 24 VDCwarning lights.NOTE: The behavior of the warning light variesaccording to the logic you have set.LOGICS A, S, E, EP, AND B: The warning light is onsteadily during opening and the pause phase. Duringclosing, the light flashes.LOGIC C: The warning light is on steadily duringopening and flashes during closing.SET OTHER OPERATING CONTROLSWARNING! Turn the main power off before youmake any electrical connections.You need to program the control panel for your gate'soperation. The 455 D Control Panel has on boardprogramming that controls a wide range of functions.OPERATING LOGICSNOTE: The 455 D Control Panel provides inputsfor opening reversing devices and closingreversing devices. FAAC strongly recommendsthe use of reversing devices, such as photocellsor other non-contact sensors.• A (automatic): The gate opens on commandand automatically closes after a pause phase. Asecond command while opening is ignored; asecond command during the pause phaseinterrupts the pause time; a second commandduring closing reopens the gate. A maintainedopen command will hold the gate open.• S (security): The security mode is like A logicexcept that a second command during openingimmediately closes the gate. A maintainedopen command will not hold the gate open.November, 2003402 Operator And455 D Control Panel Installation Manual• E (semi-automatic): This mode requires acommand to open and a command to close.A second command during opening stops thegate. A second command during closingreopens the gate.• EP (semi-automatic, step by step): Thismode requires a command to open and acommand to close. A second commandduring opening or closing causes the gate tostop. A third command then reverses theprevious motion of the gate.• B (manned, pulsed): This mode is designedfor guard station use and requires a threebuttonswitch (pulsed) to open, close, andstop the gate.• C (manned and constant): This moderequires constant pressure switches. One toopen and one to close. No pressure on aswitch stops the gate.The three programming push buttons allow theprogramming of the torque (or pressure), the pausetime between opening and closing, and the leaf delayon closing.WARNING! Turn the main power off before youmake any electrical connections.For all FAAC hydraulic operators using the 455 Dcontrol panel, the force must be set at its maximumsetting of 50 in order to supply the correct voltage tothe operator.PAUSE TIME: The pause time between opening andclosing 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 isadjusted in 10 second increments up to 4 minutes.i.e. if display shows 2.5, it means 2 minutes and 50seconds.LEAF DELAY: You may choose to delay one leaf onclosing for overlapping gate leaves. Be sure theoperator on the leaf for delayed closing is connectedto Motor 1. On opening, the leaf connected to Motor 2is delayed 2.5 sec.NOTE: If an opening leaf delay is desired, it mustbe enabled in the Advance Programming.However, if enabled, you cannot adjust thisopening delay of the operator connected toMotor 2.The closing leaf-delay time is adjustable from 0 to 4minutes.NOTE: If the opening/closing time is set at lessthan the leaf delay time, the delayed leaf closesat the end of the closing time.

Therefore, any andall traffic must be avoided in the path of the gateleaf(s).NOTE: Programming must start with the gate(s)in the closed position.Opening/closing time is established by the learningprocedure which varies slightly according to whetheryou are or are not using Gatecoders.LEARNING OF NORMAL TIMESNormal learning (i.e. without Gatecoders) can be donein two different ways:SIMPLE LEARNING (WITHOUT SLOW DOWN)Close the gates, enter “BASIC PROGRAMMING”, select theTIME LEARNING function and press the + push-buttonfor 1 second the display begins flashing and theleaves begin the opening movement.Wait for the leaves to reach the opening positive stopand then supply an OPEN A command after thedesired motor run time has been reached (by pushbuttonor radio control) to stop the movement: theleaves stop and the display stops flashing. One morecommand given will close the gate.The procedure has ended and the gate is ready tooperate.COMPLETE LEARNING (WITH SLOW DOWN)NOTES:• If you do not wish to slow the gate operator(s) down, wait for the gate to reach itspositive stop and supply two (2) consecutiveopen commands (within 1 second).• If only one gate operator (1) is used, youmust go through the entire programmingprocedure, as if you were programming fortwo gate operators (2). When the operatorhas finished opening, supply 5 opencommands until the gate operator begins toclose, and then resume normal operations.Close the gates, enter “BASIC PROGRAMMING”, select theTIME LEARNING function and press the + push-buttonfor more than 3 seconds: the display begins flashingand leaf 1 begins opening. The following functionscan be commanded by the OPEN A (by push-buttonwired to terminals 9 and 14, or radio control):• When gate operator (1) reaches the positionthat you want it to slow down, an opencommand must be given to start the slowdown phase.• When gate operator (1) reaches the positivestop and the desired motor run time hasbeen reached, an open command must begiven to shut the motor off. At this pointgate operator (2) will automatically start toopen.• When gate operator (2) reaches the positionthat you want it to slow down, an opencommand must be given to start the slowdown phase.• When gate operator (2) reaches the positivestop and the desired motor run time hasbeen reached, an open command must begiven to shut the motor off. At this pointgate operator (2) will automatically start toclose.• When gate operator (2) reaches the positionthat you want it to slow down, an opencommand must be given to start the slowdown phase.• When gate operator (2) reaches the positivestop and the desired motor run time hasbeen reached, an open command must begiven to shut the motor off. At this pointgate operator (1) will automatically start toclose.• When gate operator (1) reaches the positionthat you want it to slow down, an opencommand must be given to start the slowdown phase.• When gate operator (1) reaches the positivestop and the desired motor run time hasbeen reached, an open command must begiven to shut the motor off.The display stops flashing and the gate is ready fornormal operation.LEARNING TIMES WITH GATECODERLearning with the Gatecoder can be done in twodifferent ways:SIMPLE LEARNINGClose the gates, enter “Basic Programming”, select theTIME LEARNING function and press the + push-buttonfor 1 second: the display begins flashing and theleaves begin the opening movement.The movement stops automatically when the openingpositive stop is reached and the display stopsflashing.

Page 26November, 2003402 Operator And455 D Control Panel Installation ManualTHE 402 OPERATORThe FAAC recommended maintenance schedule variesaccording 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 followthe heavy duty use schedule.MAINTENANCELight duty use: every 12 moHeavy duty use: every 6 moCHANGE THE OIL.Light duty use: every 48 mo or 4 yrsHeavy duty use: every 24 mo or 2 yrsCHECK THE OIL.To check the oil level correctly, remove the operatorfrom the gate leaf. With the piston rod completelyretracted and pointing to the ground, remove the rearflange and look at the oil level in the casing of theoperator. The oil level should be about 3/4 in. (20 mm)from the top edge of the operator casing. If theoperator is too full, it will bleed oil out the vent hole.CHECK THE PRESSURE SETTINGS.Light duty use: every 12 moHeavy duty use: every 6 moTHE 455 D CONTROL PANELKeep the Control Panel free from spider webs, insects,etc. Otherwise the Control Panel requires nomaintenance.SAFETY IN GATE DESIGN• A gate is a potential traffic hazard, so it isimportant that you locate the gate far enoughaway from the road to eliminate the potentialof traffic getting backed up. This distance isaffected by the size of the gate, how often it isused, and how fast the gate operates.• The operator you choose to install on yourgate must be designed for the type and size ofyour gate and for the frequency with which youuse the operator.• Your gate must be properly installed and mustwork freely in both directions before theautomatic operator is installed.• An automatic operator should be installed onthe inside of the property/fence line. Do notinstall the operator on the public side of theproperty/fence line.• Pedestrians should not use a vehicular gatesystem. Prevent such inappropriate use byinstalling separate gates for pedestrians.• The operating controls for an automatic gatemust be secured to prevent the unauthorizeduse of those controls.• The controls for an automatic gate should belocated far enough from the gate so that auser cannot accidentally touch the gate whenoperating the controls.• Exposed, reachable pinch points on a gate arepotentially hazardous and must be eliminatedor guarded.• It is extremely unsafe to compensate for adamaged gate by over tightening a clutch orincreasing hydraulic pressure.• Outward swinging gates with automaticoperators should not open into a public area.• An automatic gate operator should not beinstalled on a gate if people can reach orextend their arms or legs through the gate.Such gates should be guarded or screened to

November, 2003402 Operator And455 D Control Panel Installation ManualPage 27TROUBLESHOOTINGWARNING! Before you do any work on the control panel,be sure to turn off the main power.PROBLEM: THE GATE DOES NOT OPENCOMPLETELY.PROBLEM: THE RADIO CONTROLLEDOPENER DOES NOT OPEN THE GATE.SOLUTION:SOLUTION:Check the gate for mechanical obstacles that mightprevent the gate from opening.If the motor stops running before the gate is completelyopen (or closed), you need to adjust the opening/closing time for the operator or check the bypass valveadjustment. On the one hand, you can increase theopening/closing time of the operator so that it runslong enough to close the gate. You can, on the otherhand, increase the pressure. If the pressure is too weakthe leaf movement may slip, preventing full closurebefore the motor stops running.Check your dimensions for mounting the rear bracket.Incorrect dimensions can make a full 90-deg swingimpossible.Check the light on the front of the remote transmitter. Itshould illuminate when you signal the gate. If it doesn'tilluminate and if the batteries are okay, repair or replacethe transmitter.Verify that the codes on the receiver and transmitter arethe same.Verify that the wiring for the radio controlled devices iscorrect.Check the fuses on the control panel.Check the wiring for the antenna and correct it ifnecessary.PROBLEM: THE GATE OPENS BUT DOES NOTCLOSE.Determine if the fault is in the receiver by temporarilyconnecting a push button device across the controlpanel activating terminals. If such a push button deviceopens the gate, repair or replace the receiverSOLUTION:Verify that you have correctly wired the operator to thecontrol panel.Verify that the reversing devices are working properly.If you have installed no reversing devices, make surethat you have installed a jumper wire across thereversing device terminals on the control panel.If the motors are running, insure that the bypass valvepressure adjustment is correct.
