2. Checklist in case of failure Drive unit C720 / 721
Error analysis by using the status LEDs
No LED active Check the fuse of the steering, if necessary replace
it.
LED BUS is blinking or off LED is blinking: Photocells are working
LED is off: Photocells doesn’t work, check wire
connection, if necessary replace the photocell.
LED FSW OP is off Safety strip „OPEN“ doesn’t work. Check
OSE-S unit (Connection box guiding post)
(Status LED must be off) if status LED is
active, check light beam sensors of the
safety edge, if necessary replace the OSE-S
unit.
LED FSW CL is off Safety strip „close“ doesn’t work. Check
OSE-S unit (Connection box guiding post)
(Status LED must be off) if status LED is
active, check light beam sensors of the
safety edge, if necessary replace the OSE-S
unit.
LED Stop is off Check the wire connection of the
connection bar J3. Short circuit bridge must
be connected from 4 to 6.
LED status is ok, but motor doesn’t work The drive is unlocked, the wing can move
with hand, drive must be locked.
Drive wants to start, wing does not move Unlock the drive, if necessary disassembling
of the drive, move the wing with hand.
Wing must be movable without resistance
the whole distance in both directions.

Warning light does not blink Check the bulb, if necessary replace it. Lamp
stays always on; replace the board of the
warning light.
3. Checklist in case of failure Drive unit C746 / 844
Error analysis by using the status LEDs
No LED active Check the fuse of the steering, if necessary replace
it.
LED Stop is of Check the wire connection to the connector of the
steering . Short circuit wire must be connected
from connector 5 to 7.
LED FSW OP is off Check the wire connection of the connection bar
J1. Short circuit wire must be connected from
connector 3 to 11.
LED FSW CL is off Photocells doesn’t work, check wire connection if
necessary replace the photocell.
LED SAVE is off Activate the gate till movement, LED SAVE must
become active.
Otherwise Check the wireless band (Transmitter receiver)
of the safety edge of the wing, if necessary
exchange the batteries. If the safety edge of
the wing is working, OK.
Otherwise Check the light beam sensors of the safety
edge of the wing, if necessary replace them.

Otherwise Check OSE-S unit (Connection box inside the
guiding post) (Status LED must be off) if
status LED is on check the sensors of the
safety edge, if necessary replace the OSE-S
unit.
Warning light does not blink Check the bulb, if necessary replace it. Lamp
stays always on; replace the board of the
warning light.
IMPORTANT
FC1 and FC2 are “end indicators”: when the gate is half way open, both LED’s will be ON, when
gate is open or close, only one of both will be ON.

4.1 Safety edges
For 1 safety edge is required:
1 x rubber profile
1 x Light beam (photocell assembled on top and bottom of the rubber profile)
1 x OSE unit
Light beam sensor (top and bottom of the rubber profile)
OSE signal processing (Yellow item)
The light beam will connected to the OSE unit. (Photo) The color code of the wires is written to
the OSE unit.
The light beam consists of transmitter and receiver. Both items are equipped with the same cable
and the same colored wires. (White, brown, green)
The OSE unit is equipped with a red LED. If power is “on”, and everything is OK, the red LED is
“off”.
It means the safety edge is in work and nothing is detecting / touching the edge.

The connection cable of the OSE unit has the follow wires:
Brown: Power, plus (24V from controller)
White: Power, minus (0V from controller)
Yellow: Signal (in loop with the AERF receiver, connector 8) (electrical drawing page 15)
Green: Signal (input of the controller, connector 6)
The photo below shows the “possible” connection of 2 OSE units, the signal wires of both units
will connected in line ( serial) (Green, unit 1, from controller; yellow, unit 1, to green of unit 2;
yellow from unit 2 back to controller)
If something happen, the red LED will be “on”.
The reason for that could be the rubber profile of the safety edge is bent or something is pushing
on it.
If nothing touches the safety edge and the LED is “on”, one item is fault.
Either the OSE unit or the light beam of the safety edge.

If 2 OSE units connected in line (serial) and one of it is activated, the other one will activated
automatically.
How to solve the problem:
Take a new light beam and connect to the OSE unit. (SAP code 1017486)
If the LED goes off, OK, if not,
Exchange the OSE unit. (SAP code 1017448)
4.2 Photocells
The photocells consists of 1 transmitter and one receiver

Important, please note:
Without the plastic cap the working distance of the photocells are very low, about 2m only.
For to check it is required to assemble the plastic cap. A lens is inside the plastic cap for to
increase the range.
Connection plan of the photocells:
5. AERF System (Wireless Band)
AERF version 2.F.I
If the AERF system doesn’t work, please check the battery of the transmitter (In front of the wing)
at first. Change the FAAC drive unit to the manual mode and open the gate with hand.
Push the safety strip on top of the wing, the relay inside the receiver should work if the gate is
open. (Small distance between transmitter and receiver) If so, the batteries are empty and they
must exchange. Use batteries with a power of 3.6v only!! (SAP code for battery 1017580)
If the system doesn’t work, choose the DIP settings of transmitter and receiver as described in
point 5.2.
If the system is working, change back the DIP setting (point 5.1.1) and reprogram the system.
Attention:
Before the reprogramming procedure push the button on the controller board of the receiver
(item on the FAAC drive unit) and hold on pushing till a triple beep comes. Release the button and
disconnect the connection plug of the receiver for 10 seconds. Reconnect it and follow point 5.1.2
5.1 Used with the drive unit 746/844 with firmware 1Q
This version is foreseen of a sticker: NEW VERSION 1Q, put on the transformer to the left of the
controller

5.1.1 DIP-switch SETTINGS
Transmitter (component at the wing):
Switch 1: off
Switch 2: on
Switch 3: off
Receiver (component at the drive unit):
Switch 1 on
Switch 2: off
Switch 3: on
Switch 4: on
Switch 5: on
5.1.2 Programming the activation time
ATTENTION: First program the activation time, then program transmitters to the receiver
1. Press PROG button for 1.5 sec.
2. On hearing the acoustic signal stop pressing as the receiver will be logged into the
memorizing code process.
3. Prog. LED will be turned on indicating that you are programming transmitters.
4. Press PROG button again for 1.5 sec.
5. Prog. LED will flash indicating that you are programming power supply time.
6. Waiting time. You must wait for time you need for having the power supply for the OSE.
7. Press PROG button again for 1.5 sec. receiver will exit the process and power supply time
will be memorized.
IMPORTANT: times below 10 seconds will not memorize.
Table for activation times
5.1.3 Go in ‘advanced programming mode’ on motor controller and set FS and SA on ‘Y’
