- 1x FAACLIGHT Flashing Light (24V): Indicates gate movement.
- 1x XT2 433 SLH Two-Channel Transmitter: Remote control for gate operation.
- 1x Pair of XP 15 B Photocell Sensors: Safety devices to detect obstacles.
- 1x T10 E Key Switch: Manual override or access control.
- 1x "Automatic FAAC" Sign: Warning sign for automated gate.
- Mounting Brackets and Hardware: For installation of actuators and other components.
Safety Information
Important: Incorrect installation or use can lead to serious injury or property damage. Always follow local safety regulations and standards. This system operates on 24V, but installation involves electrical connections. If you are not qualified, consult a professional electrician or installer.
- Ensure all power is disconnected before performing any installation or maintenance.
- Keep children and pets away from the gate area during operation.
- Do not attempt to repair or modify components unless specifically instructed in this manual.
- The anti-crushing device and photocells are critical safety features; ensure they are correctly installed and functioning.
Setup and Installation
Installation of the FAAC HANDY Kit requires mechanical and electrical expertise. Refer to the detailed wiring diagrams and mounting templates provided in the separate installation guide (not included in this manual but essential for setup).
- Mounting Actuators:
Position the S418 actuators on the gate posts and gate leaves using the multi-position adjustable brackets. The long stroke (350mm) allows for flexible installation. Ensure correct alignment for smooth gate movement.
- Control Unit Installation:
Mount the E024S control unit in a protected, accessible location near the gate. Connect all power, motor, and accessory wiring according to the provided electrical schematics.
- Safety Device Connection:
Install and connect the XP 15 B photocells and FAACLIGHT flashing light. Test their functionality to ensure they detect obstacles and signal gate operation correctly.
- Transmitter Programming:
Program the XT2 433 SLH transmitter with the XF433 frequency module. The Self-Learning Hopping Code (SLH) technology allows for easy duplication from transmitter to transmitter (FAAC patent).
- Initial Configuration:
Configure the control unit settings, including gate travel limits, anti-crushing sensitivity, and automatic closing times, as per the specific requirements of your gate and local regulations.
Operating Instructions
Once installed and configured, the FAAC HANDY Kit is designed for straightforward operation.
- Remote Control (Transmitter): Press the designated button on your XT2 433 SLH transmitter to open or close the gate. A second press during movement will stop the gate.
- Key Switch: Insert and turn the key in the T10 E key switch to operate the gate manually or to override automatic functions.
- Safety Features: The electronic encoder and anti-crushing device will reverse the gate's direction if an obstacle is detected during closing. The photocells will prevent the gate from closing if an object is in its path.
- Flashing Light: The FAACLIGHT will flash whenever the gate is in motion, providing a visual warning.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your gate opener system.
- Monthly:
- Inspect the gate's mechanical components (hinges, wheels) for wear and tear.
- Clean the photocell lenses to ensure unobstructed operation.
- Test the safety features (photocells, anti-crushing) by placing an object in the gate's path during closing.
- Annually:
- Check all electrical connections for corrosion or looseness.
- Lubricate moving parts of the gate and actuators as recommended by the manufacturer.
- Verify the integrity of mounting brackets and hardware.
For any complex maintenance or repairs, it is recommended to contact a qualified technician.
