the plug or by turning off the system’s main switch.
•An isolation switch should be provided for the installation according to by current safety regulations with an opening distance of 3 mm or
more on the part of the contacts. Alternatively, use a 6A thermo-magnetic breaker with multi-pole switching.
• Ensure that there is a differential switch up-line of the electrical system, with a trip threshold of 0.03A.
• Check that the earthing plant is in perfect condition and connect it to the gate frame. Also earth the yellow/green wire of the operator.
•The end-user must avoid any attempt to repair or adjust the automation system; these operations must be carried out exclusively by
qualified personnel.
•Use only FAAC original spare parts for maintenance operations.
•Do not carry out any modifications to automation components.
•Packaging material (plastic, polystyrene etc.) is a potential hazard and must be kept out of reach of children
•The installer must supply all information regarding manual operation of the system in the event of an emergency and provide the end-user
with the leaflet attached to the product.
•The operator is fitted with an anti-crush safety system, this is a torque control device which guarantees ultimate safety and reliability if properly
adjusted
•In any event, FAAC always recommends the installation of other safety devices, taking into consideration current safety standards, installation
site, system operation logics, dimensions and weight of the gate.
• The safety devices (e.g photocells, safety edges, etc.) will protect the crushing and entrapment areas and general potential hazard areas of
the automation.
•Each installation must be fitted with at least one flashing light (e,g, FAAC LAMP, MINILAMP etc,) as well as a warning plate suitably fixed to the
gate.

The curve makes it possible to determine
maximum operating time (T) on the basis of
duty cycle (F).
For example, 760 CBAC/SB operators can
run continuously at a duty cycle of 60%.
To ensure smooth running, operation should
be kept within the area below the duty cycle
curve.
Important Note:The curve has been
plotted for operation at 24 °C.
Allow a reduction of up to 20% in the duty
cycle at higher ambient temperatures.
Calculating the Duty Cycle
The duty cycle is the percentage of actual
operating time (opening and closing)
compared with total cycle time (opening +
closing +stationary + internal).
TA + TC
%F = x 100
TA + TC+TP+TI
TA : opening time
TC : closing time
TP : stationary time
TI : length of interval between one
complete cycle and the next
% duty cycle
Time (h)
3.1 Maximum duty cycle curve
Important Notes:
Read these instructions carefully before installing the gate automation system. Keep these
instructions for future reference.
Installation and electrical wiring must conform to current standards.
Switch off power supply before performing any work on the electronic control unit.
Install a 10 A thermal-magnetic differential switch with O.03 A trip threshold up-line from the
electrical system.
FAAC accepts no responsibility for damage or injury resulting from the incorrect use of this
gate automation system.

4.2 Installation of leaf supporting foundation box (fig.3)
4.1 Preliminary Checks
Proceed as instructed below:
To ensure trouble-free operation, make sure
that the gate (whether existing or yet to be
installed) are within following specifications:
– max. weight of single leaf 800 Kg
– max. length of single gate leaf 4 m (see
table 1)
– strong and rigid leaf frame
– smooth gate movement
– min. clearance between bottom edge of
gate and ground as in fig. 6/a (where ‘s’ =
thickness of guide bracket)
– mechanical travel stops.
If any welding or brazing has to be done on
the gate, do this before installing the
automation system.
a) Existing gate with fixed hinges
– Remove the gate.
– Remove the bottom hinge.
If the gate cannot be removed, place
blocks under its bottom edge to support it.
b) Existing gate with adjustable hinges
– Remove the bottom hinge.
– Slacken off the top hinge.
– Swing the leaf around the axis of the
top hinge (fig. 4).
c) New gate to be installed
– Fit just the top hinge. If possible use an
adjustable hinge.

1. Dig out a hole for the foundation box as
shown in fig. 5.
N.B.: Depending on the nature of the
ground, it may be necessary to cast a
bed of quick-setting concrete at the
bottom of the hole to avoid subsidence
in future.
2. Insert the base box in the hole, fig. 6 a/b.
The centre of the pinion must be
perfectly aligned with the leaf’s axis of
swing.
N.B.: A telescopic rod is available as an
accessory. This can be used to align the
base box and top hinge, fig. 7.

3. Lay down a PVC tube of diameter 40
mm through which the electrical cable
passes. The tube must reach from the
box to the control unit (fig. 8). Install a
second tube as a surface water drain
(fig. 8).
4. Fix the box with concrete.
N.B.: Wait for the concrete to set before
starting this work.
1. Prepare the gate guide bracket as
follows:
– Use a ‘U’ profile of the dimensions
given in fig. 9.
– Ascertain the correct location for the
bushing to suit the position of the gate
with respect to the axis of rotation
(fig. 10 a/b).

– Plate the bushing so that one notch
aligns with the centre-line of the ‘U’
profile (fig. 11).
N.B.: This alignment is essential to the
correct operation of the gate
automation system.
– Carefully weld the bushing to the ‘U’
profile (fig. 12).
– Seal the ‘U’ profile on the post side
with a plate as shown in fig. 13a/b.
2. Grease the pinion.
3. Fit the guide bracket over the pinion
so that the tooth with the punch mark
engages in the bushing notch aligned
along the centre-line of the bracket
(fig. 14).
4. Fit the gate into the guide bracket
and fix the top hinge in place.
Important: do NOT weld the gate to
the guide bracket or to the bushing.

1. Prepare the operator for installation as
follows:
– Remove the plastic cover from the
rack ram (fig. 15).
– Fit the release device (see section 7
page 12).
2. Remove the cover plate from the
foundation box (fig. 16).
3. Manually fit the gate at its half
opening position (angle a, fig. 17).
Caution! Failure to fit the gate at the
right angle will prevent the gate from
opening or closing fully on
completion of the installation.
To determine the precise angle a,
measure the length of line L (fig. 17)
and position the gate at the mid-point
of the line.
4. Fit the operator inside the box and
engage the rack ram with the pinion in
the box (fig. 18).
5. Fix the operator in place with the four
M8 bolts provided (fig. 18). If possible,
use a torque wrench to tighten the
bolts to 2.6 Kgm.
6. Release the operator (see section 7)
and manually open the leaf to check
that the mechanism operates
smoothly.
7. Connect up the cables to the
electronic control unit (see relevant
instructions).

5. Start-up
5.1 Adjustment of the Anti-Crushing Device
Perform the following steps in the order given
to ensure trouble-free gate operation.
5.1 ADJUSTMENT OF ANTI-CRUSHING SYSTEM
5.2 ADJUSTMENT OF INTERNAL TRAVEL STOP
SCREWS (MODEL 760 CR ONLY)
5.3 ADJUSTMENT OF DECELERATION RAMP
(MODEL 760 CR ONLY)
The FAAC 760 operators (with or without
deceleration ramp) are equipped with an
anti-crushing safety system that stops the
gate should an obstacle be encountered.
Adjust the anti-crushing system’s torque
according to applicable standards, but
should not exceed 15 Kg of force at the
outer edge of the gate.
Use a linear dynamometer to ensure that
force at the outer edge of the gate is
measured accurately.
Turn the by-pass valve screws as shown in fig.
19 to set the anti-crushing system’s threshold.
– The red screws adjusts torque for anti-
clockwise leaf movement.
– The green screw adjusts torque for
clockwise leaf movement.
Turn the screws clockwise to increase torque.
Turn the screws anti-clockwise to decrease
torque.
706 operators (model CR) have adjustable
deceleration ramps both in opening and
closing positions for use with gates which
open to angles of 90° or more.
Deceleration starts at 10° from the setting of
the internal travel stop adjusting screws (ref.
A–B, fig. 20/a).
