770 OPERATOR

DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATION
The FAAC 770 is an electromechanical operator for swing gates. It is designed for in-ground installation and therefore does not alter the appearance of the gate. The supplied support box allows you to setup the gate before actually installing the operator.
The 770 electromechanical operator is not reversible, so it ensures a mechanical stop and eliminates the need for an electric lock.
The 770 Operator is designed and manufactured to automate vehicular swing gates. Do not use for any other purpose.

1.1 Technical Specifications

1.2 Electrical Setup

Always separate the connection cables of the low voltage accessories from the high voltage power cables. Use separate conduits to avoid interference.
The installer is responsible for grounding the gate and operator systems, for providing the main power breaker switch, and for making sure that the entire gate system meets all applicable electrical codes.
Make sure to locate all controls that operate the gate system at least 6 ft away from any moving parts.
1.3 Dimensions

INSTALLATION

2.1 Preliminary checks
To ensure a correctly operating automated system, the structure of the existing gate or gate to be built must satisfy the following requirements:

• Leaf dimensions are within the limits
• The gate swings level
• Smooth, uniform leaf movement, without any irregular friction during the entire travel
• Existing hinges in good condition
• Positive stops are provided in the fully opened and closed positions
• There is a minimum clearance between the bottom edge of gate and ground. See Fig. 6a (where ‘S’ = thickness of guide bracket)

2.2 Installing the foundation box

1. Dig a hole for the foundation box as shown in Fig. 5.
2.  Place the foundation box in the hole, refer to the dimen- sions provided in Figs. 6a and 6b.
   The center of the pivot on the foundation box must be per- fectly aligned with the leaf’s axis of rotation (Figs 6a and 6b).
3. Install a 1-3/8″ Liquid Tight Conduit, it must be long enough to reach from the box to the control unit (Fig. 7). Install also a second conduit to drain water from the box (also Fig. 7).
4. Secure the box in place with a concrete pour.

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 future subsidence.
2.3 Setting up the gate
Allow the concrete to set before starting this operation.

1. Assemble the release levers on the support bracket, and fit the latter on the pivot in the foundation box, also inserting the supplied ball (Fig. 8).
   Note: grease both the pivot and the ball.
2. Prepare the guide bracket, as follows:
   • Use a “U” profile with dimensions indicated in Fig. 9.• Determine the correct location of the leaf on the “U” profile with reference to the axis of rotation (Fig. 10a and 10b);
   • Close the “U” profile on the post side with a small plate, as shown in Figs. 10a and 10b.
3. Carefully weld the guide bracket to the support bracket (Fig. 11).
4. Fit the gate into the guide bracket and fix the top hinge in place.
   IMPORTANT: To ensure trouble-free operation, do NOT weld the gate leaf to the guide bracket or to the support bracket.
5. Manually verify whether the gate opens and closes completely and smoothly, stopping at the mechanical travel stops.

2.4 Installing the operator

1. Open the gate leaf.
2. Place the operator on the fastening bolts on the foun- dation box, and secure it using the supplied nuts and washers (Fig. 13).
   Note: the exact position of the operator is shown in Fig. 12. In any case, the operator pinion must be on the opposite side of leaves opening direction.
3. Manually close the leaf and assemble the supplied driving levers, as shown in Fig. 13.
   Note: grease the operator pinion and the pivots of the two levers.
4. Install the second operator, if required, by repeating the operations described above.
5. Install the electronic control unit. Refer to the relative instructions.
6. Fasten the box cover using the supplied screws (Fig. 14) .

POSITIVE STOPS (optional)
Optional mechanical positive stops can be installed in the load bearing box as indicated in Fig. 15. They can be adjusted to properly limit the gate leaf travel.

MANUAL OPERATION

If the gate has to be operated manually in the event of a power outage or fault of the operator, use the keyed release device on the support bracket (Fig. 1 – Ref. 6). The operator can be released from both the inside and the outside of the gate.
To operate the leaf manually, proceed as follows:

1. Disconnect power to the system to avoid accidental gate movement.
2. Open the cover of the lock (Fig. 16 – Ref. 1)
3. Insert the release key in the lock (Fig. 16 – Ref. 2).
4. Turn the key in the direction of the post, as far as it will go (Fig. 16 – Ref. 3).
5. Pull the lever out (Fig. 16 – Ref. 4).
6. Operate the leaf manually.

4.1 Restore Normal Operation
To restore normal operation, proceed as follows:

1. Push the lever back into its home position (Fig. 17 – Ref. 1).
2. Insert the release key into the lock and turn it as far as it will turn in the direction opposite the post (Fig. 17 – Ref. 2).
3. Operate the leaf manually until the lock is engaged in the locking bracket (Fig. 17 – Ref. 3).
4. Close the cover on the lock.
5. Restore power and test the system

MAINTENANCE

At regular intervals, check the structure of the gate and make sure that the hinges are in perfect working order.

INPUTS / OUTPUTS DESCRIPTION

SAFETY DEVICES CONNECTIONS
Entrapment protection
To comply with the UL325 standard for gate operators every entrapment zone, as defined in ASTMF2200, must be protected by two independent entrapment protection devices. One of the devices is inherent in the E024U control boards design, the other can be external, like a photocell or an edge sensor.
See this picture for the photocells positioning:Opening Safety Devices:
Are active only during the gate opening movement, and are suitable for protecting the area between the opening leaves and fixed obstacles (walls, etc) against the risk of entrapment
Closing Safety Devices:
Are active only during the gate closing movement, and are suitable for protecting the closing area against the risk of entrapment.
Monitored Devices:
Additionaly the UL325 standard requires that every external entrapment protection device must be monitored for presence and correct operation. To comply with this requirement the E024U control board uses the FAILSAFE function. This function tests the photocells before each movement of the operator. In case the test fails the movement is inhibited. This function is enabled by default on the Closing Safety Input and can be enabled on the Opening Safety Input using dip-switch 12 of DS1 ON.
The power supply negative of the transmitter must be connected to the OUT pin (No.9).
See Fig. A6, A7, A8, A10 for wiring examples.Only one monitored photocell can be connected to the Closing or Opening safety inputs. More than one photocell or other device can be connected to the safety inputs, but they will not be monitored.
Other devices connected to the safety inputs must have normally closed contacts and wired in series with the main monitored sensor.
See the following example of one closing safety monitored photocell and one non monitored one.Opening/Closing Safety Devices:
They operate during the gate opening and closing move- ments and are suitable to protect the opening and closing areas against the risk of impact. Typically these photocells work in combination with other monitored photocell protecting closing or opening entrapment zones. In that case they can’t be monitored so they can only protect against potential impact on vehicles.

TIME LEARNING (SET-UP)

WARNING: If the time learning setup is done automatically then the slow down points are set by the board on his own
After powering up the board for the first time or when the board will need it the setup LED will blink at a slow frequency to indicate that the setup procedure to learn the running times is needed.
The setup can be redone at any time by pressing and holding the setup button as indicated below. The setup cannot be done until the safeties and stop inputs are wired.
After the setup first movement, if the leafs are opening instead of closing you need to reverse the wires going to the motor that moves in the wrong direction
AUTOMATIC TIME LEARNING
Move the leafs to the mid position Very important for a good result

1. Press and hold the SETUP button until the SETUP LED lights up, wait about 3 sec. until it turns off and then release it immediately.
   NOTE:
   If you wait too long to release it the manual set-up will start.
   The LED will blink during the setup procedure
2. Leaf 2 (if present) starts to move slowly in closing direction, stopping when it reaches the mechanical stop or FCC2.
3. Leaf 1 begins to move slowly in closing direction, stopping when it reaches the mechanical stop, or FCC1.
4. Leaf 1 starts to move slowly in opening direction, followed by leaf 2 (if present) still slowly.
5. When they both reach the open mechanical stop or FCA1 and FCA2 they stop and reverse, leaf 2 (if present) automatically starts closing at full speed followed by leaf 1.
6. When they reach the close mechanical stop or FCC1 and FCC2 both leafs stop and leaf 1 restarts automatically opening at full speed followed by leaf 2 (if present).
7. If you selected an automatic logic the board will wait for the pause time and then closes the gate automatically.
   Otherwise you have to give an OPEN command to close the gate.

WARNING: If the manual time learning setup is done then the slow down points must be set by the installer during the procedure.
Slow down is required for proper operation.
Move the leafs to the mid position Very important for a good result

1. Press and hold the SETUP button until the SETUP LED lights up, keep it pressed for about 3 sec. until it turns off and keep it pressed more until the leaf 2 (if present) starts moving slowly. The LED will blink during the setup procedure
2. Leaf 2 will move in closing direction until it reaches the mechanical stop or FCC2
3.  Leaf 1 starts moving slowly until it reaches the mechanical stop or FCC1
4. Leaf 1 starts moving in opening direction at the set speed (trimmer speed).
5. At the point where you want the slowdown to start give an OPEN A command with the push button or the remote that is already stored in memory. Leaf 1 starts to slow down and stops when it reaches the mechanical stop or FCA1.
6. Leaf 2 starts moving in opening direction at the set speed (trimmer speed)
7. At the point where you want the slowdown to start give an OPEN A command with the push button or the remote that is already stored in memory. Leaf 2 starts to slow down and stops when it reaches the mechanical stop or FCA2.
8. Leaf 2 starts to close at the set speed (trimmer speed).
9. At the point where you want the slowdown to start give an OPEN A command with the push button or the remote that is already stored in memory. The leaf 2 starts to slow down and stops when it reaches the mechanical stop or FCC2.
10. Leaf 1 starts to close at the set speed (trimmer speed).
11. At the point where you want the slowdown to start give an OPEN A command with the push button or the remote that is already stored in memory. Leaf 1 starts to slow down and stops when it reaches the mechanical stop or FCC1.
12. The manual time learning procedure is complete.

After time learning test the gate to set the force, speed and sensitivity using the trimmers.

1. Apply resistance to the gate and adjust the Force to make sure that the operator creates enough thrust to reliably move the leaf.
2. Set the desired speed. Keep the speed relatively low on big and heavier gates.
3.  After Force and Speed are set to the desired settings adjust the Sensitivity so the gate reverses promptly after hitting a rigid object.
4. After all the adjustments are done perform setup again.

 OBSTACLE DETECTION

The obstacle detection function is achieved by controlling the current absorption and / or through the encoder connected to the motors.
If the gate encounters an obstacle during the movement of opening or closing, the obstacle detection function is activated and the operator reverses the direction of the gate.
In case of a second consecutive obstacle the operator stops the gate right away and any further command is inhibited.
To re-enable the automation, you must remove power (and disconnect batteries if present) or open the STOP contact input. The Audio Alarm output will be active until this “reset”.
This is a more detailed description of what happens after an obstacle detection:
Gate opening, obstacle detected:
The gate reverses partially (for 3 sec.) and STOPS. After that the gate is in a halfway position or completely closed.
If an open_A command is received, the gate tries to open from the current position:

• If there is another obstacle detection: the gate stops completely, the alarm goes off
• If the gate reaches the open position: the obstructions count is reset, the gate returns to normal operations

Gate closing, obstacle detected:
The gate reverses partially (for 3 sec.) and STOPS. After that the gate is in a halfway position or completely open.
If an open_A command is received in NON Automatic mode

• if the gate was not completely open: execute an open
• if the gate was completely open: execute a close

If an open_A command is received in Automatic mode:

• if the gate was not completely open: execute an open, wait for the pause time and then closes.
• if the gate was completely open: reload the pausetime, and then closes

If there is another obstacle detection: the gate stops completely, the alarm goes off.
If the gate reaches the close position: the obstructions count is reset, the gate returns to normal operations
ENCLOSURE
The E024U board is supplied on a panel that fits in a metal enclosure of this size:
On the back panel there are: the control board, the power supply and additional accessories. AC POWER CONNECTION

POWER CONNECTION

AC POWER GUIDELINES:
THE E024U control board and power supply uses a single phase AC power line to operate, charge the batteries, and power gate accessories. Use the following guidelines when installing the AC power:

1. Check the local wiring codes in all cases and follow all local building codes. Wiring and hookup should be performed by a qualified electrician/installer only.
2. AC power should be supplied from a circuit breaker panel and must have its own dedicated circuit breaker. This supply must include a green ground conductor.
3. Use copper conductor wires with liquid tight flexible conduit UL listed for electric cable protection
4. Properly ground the gate operator to minimize or prevent damage from power surges and/or lightning. Use a grounding rod if necessary. A surge suppressor is recommended for additional protection.

POWER SUPPLY
The E024U board is powered by a high efficiency switching power supply that takes 115VAC input and provides 36VDC to power the board. On the power supply board there is only one repleaceble fuse: 6.3A timed   

 BACKUP BATTERY

The E024U board allows the connection of a 24V backup atter y to provide power to operate the gate during blackouts. For more details about how the boards handles the loss of main power and how to configure its behaviour please see par 4.3 and DS1 switch 7.
Two 12V Batteries are located underneath the backplate with the Control Board and Accessories and come prewired from the factoryTo enable the Battery Backup connect the Battery cable to the “BATTERY” connector on the control boardThen turn ON the Battery switch on the top right of the enclosure
DISABLE THE BATTERY CHARGER The internal battery charger must be disabled to use an externalcharger. To disable the battery charger unplug jumper J24 J24 PRESENT = BATTERY CHARGING ACTIVE J24 NOT PRESENT = BATTERY CHARGING NOT ACTIVE
FIRMWARE UPGRADE

The E024U board keeps the operating firmware in a field programmable memory, it can be easily upgraded through the on board USB portFor the upgrade you need a USB Flash Drive, where you have to copy the file supplied by FAAC. Then follow these steps:

1. Disconnect the batteries if they are present.
2. Turn the AC power off and insert the Flash Drive into the USB A input on the board
3. Turn the AC power back on. The USB2 LED will start to flash to confirm the beginning of the software update. (WARNING: DON’T TURN THE POWER OFF OR REMOVE THE FLASH DRIVE UNTIL THE USB2 LED TURNS OFF.
4. Wait until the USB 2 LED turns off
5. Remove the USB Flash drive.
6. Cycle power, reconnect the batteries if needed and exe- cute a new SETUP procedure (See chapter 6)

WARNING: Only upgrade the firmware with the proper file supplied by FAAC, otherwise the board could be damaged
VERIFY THE FIRMWARE VERSION
On initial power up watch the LED USB 1 on the bottom left of the board. The number of flashes indicate the version:

if the cycle began with OPEN-B (leaf 1), both leaves are activated at opening

if the cycle began with OPEN-B (leaf 1), both leaves are activated at opening

• if the cycle began with OPEN-B (leaf 1), both leaves are activated at opening

if the cycle began with OPEN-B (leaf 1), both leaves are activated at opening

if the cycle began with OPEN-B (leaf 1), both leaves are activated at opening

ACCESSORIES

SHADOW LOOP INTERFACE (p/n 790062)
Through the use of the XIB interface board you can connect an additional loop detector (center or shadow) to the E024U  board to keep the gate open if vehicles are obstructing the closing path. With a dip switch setting the shadow loop can function on both opening and closing (see section 4.3)

INSTALLING THE INTERFACE

1. Turn power OFF
2. Plug in the XIB interface to the 2EASY connector on the E024U board
3.  Wire the shadow loop detector NC output to the CL input on the XIB board as in figure below
4. Connect Common from loop detector to GND (terminal 6) on E024U
5. If no second open safety device is present jump out the OP input on XIB board to GND (terminal 6) on the E024U
6. Wire the encoder (if needed) to J2
7. Refer to Fig. A11 for the wiring schematic
8. Turn power back ON
9. Press and release the SW1 button quickly. The board will recognize that the XIB board has been removed
10. Re-program run time if needed.

REMOVING THE INTERFACE

1. Turn power OFF
2. Unplug the board and remove the wiring
3. Move the encoder wires (if present) to the 2EASY con- nector on the board
4. Turn power back ON
5. Verify that leaf 1 & 2 lights on the encoder are correct
6. Press and release the SW1 button quickly. The board will recognize that the XIB board has been removed
7. Re-program run time if needed.

NOTE:

• Do not connect the shadow loop detector in series with regular closing safety devices.
•  If the E024U board doesn’t have the correct software installed the shadow loop will act as a normal closing safety, detecting also the gate itself and not allowing the closing movement to complete. Please contact technical support for assistance in that case.

SECOND OPEN SAFETY INPUT
The OP input on the XIB board can be used as a second monitored open safety input.
When open safety monitoring is turned ON on the E024U board (Dip SW 12 ON) the OP input on the XIB (J3 OP) is monitored and can be used to protect an entrapment zone. See Fig.
A12a/b for the connections.
In case only one opening safey input is needed and the XIB board is present connect the opening safey photocell to FSW OP on the E024U and J3 OP on the XIB in parallel. See Fig. A13a/b for the connections.

LOOP DETECTORS INTERFACE (p/n 2670.1)
The Loop Detector Interface allows connection of up to three plug-in detectors associated with standard functions. The board is designed to fit in the FAAC standard 16” x 14” enclosure on the existing DIN rail.
To connect the interface board:

1. Connect the 2EASY BUS from the E024U to the interface board (no polarity) – Green Wires
2. Connect pin 8 on the E024U board (+24V) to the +24 input on the interface board – Red Wire
3. Connect pin 7 on the E024U board (GND) to the GND input on the interface board – Black Wire
4. Connect the loops to the interface board as in the figure below

Turn the power on on the E024U board. The LED on the interface board will blink briefly and then will stay ON solid if the BUS connection is working correctly.
IMPORTANT: Briefly press the SW1 button on the E024U board to make it aware of the presence of the additional interface board.
To make sure the board is working properly you can check the behaviour of BUS LED on the E024U board. It will be normally on when none of the loop detectors is active.
If any of the detectors is activated the LED will turn off.NOTE: You can use the shadow loop interface OR the loop detectors interface but not both at the same time. If two monitored open safeties are required the additional loop detectors (other than the shadow) must be wired directly to the E024U board.
