4. Setup & Installation
This section outlines the general steps for installing the FAAC ECO KIT. Refer to the detailed diagrams and specific instructions provided in the physical manual for precise measurements and wiring.
4.1 Pre-installation Checks
- Ensure the gate structure is sound, moves freely, and is properly hinged.
- Verify adequate space for actuator movement and component mounting.
- Confirm availability of a 230V AC power supply at the installation site.
4.2 Mounting the Actuators
Mount the two electromechanical actuators to the gate posts and gate leaves using the provided brackets and fasteners. Ensure the actuators are level and aligned for smooth gate operation. The mounting points should be strong enough to withstand the forces exerted by the actuators.
4.3 Electrical Connections
Connect the actuators, photocells, flashing light, and key selector to the control unit according to the wiring diagram. All electrical connections must be made with the main power supply disconnected. Use appropriate cable types and ensure all connections are secure and insulated.
- Power Supply: Connect the 230V AC main power to the control unit.
- Actuators: Connect the motor cables from each actuator to the designated terminals on the control unit.
- Photocells: Install photocells at appropriate heights to detect obstructions. Connect their wiring to the safety input terminals.
- Flashing Light: Connect the flashing light to the designated output for visual indication of gate movement.
- Key Selector: Wire the key selector to the control unit for manual gate operation.
4.4 Control Unit Configuration
Once all components are wired, power on the control unit. Follow the instructions in the physical manual to configure parameters such as gate opening/closing limits, operating force, and automatic closing time. This typically involves setting dip switches or using programming buttons on the control board.
4.5 Remote Control Programming
Program the 433Mhz remote controls to the control unit. This usually involves pressing a programming button on the control board and then a button on the remote control. Refer to the control unit's specific programming instructions for detailed steps.
5. Operating Instructions
The FAAC ECO KIT is designed for user-friendly operation.
5.1 Basic Operation
- Opening/Closing with Remote Control: Press the programmed button on your remote control. The gate will open or close. Pressing it again during movement will stop the gate. Another press will reverse its direction.
- Opening/Closing with Key Selector: Insert the key into the key selector and turn it. The gate will open or close.
- Automatic Closing: If configured, the gate will automatically close after a set period once fully open. Ensure the area is clear before automatic closing.
5.2 Manual Release
In case of power failure or system malfunction, the gate can be operated manually. Locate the manual release mechanism on each actuator (usually a key-operated lever or knob). Unlock and engage the release mechanism to disengage the motor, allowing the gate to be moved by hand. Remember to re-engage the mechanism for automatic operation.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your FAAC ECO KIT.
- Monthly:
- Check the gate's mechanical condition: hinges, wheels, and guides. Ensure smooth movement.
- Test safety devices (photocells) by obstructing their beam during gate movement. The gate should stop or reverse.
- Inspect electrical cables for damage or wear.
- Every 6 Months:
- Clean the actuators and photocell lenses.
- Check and tighten all mounting bolts and fasteners.
- Lubricate moving parts of the gate (hinges) if necessary, using appropriate lubricants.
- Annual Professional Check: It is recommended to have the system inspected by a qualified technician annually.
