Both the installer and the owner and/or operator of this
system need to read and understand this installation
manual and the safety instructions supplied with other
components of the gate system. This information
should be retained by the owner and/or operator of the
gate.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury or death
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL
INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Never let children operate or play with gate
controls. Keep the remote control away from
children.
3. Always keep people and objects away from
the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE
PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.
4. Test the gate operator monthly. The gate
MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object
or stop when an object activates the non-
contact sensors. After adjusting the force or
the limit of travel, retest the gate operator.
Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator
properly can increase the risk of injury or
death.
5. Use the emergency release only when the
gate is not moving.
6. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read
the owner’s manual. Have a qualified service
person make repairs to gate hardware.
7. The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians
must use separate entrance.
8. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
When installing the photo-beams with this unit two
things need to be considered.
1. Care should be exercised to reduce the risk of
nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle, trips
the sensor while the gate is in motion.
2. One or more photo-beams shall be located
where the risk of entrapment exists, such as
the perimeter reachable by the moving gate.
GATE DESIGN
1. A gate is a potential traffic hazard, so it is im-
portant that you locate the gate far enough away
from the road to eliminate the potential of traffic
getting backed up. This distance is affected by the
size of the gate, how often it is used, and how fast
the gate operates.
2. The operator you choose to install on your gate
must be designed for the type and size of your
gate and for the frequency with which you use the
operator.
3. Your gate must be properly installed and must
work freely in both directions before the automatic
operator is installed.
4. An automatic operator should be installed on the
inside of the property/fence line. Do not install the
operator on the public side of the property/fence
line.
5. Pedestrians should not use a vehicular gate system.
Prevent such inappropriate use by installing
separate gates for pedestrians.
6. Exposed, reachable pinch points on a gate are
potentially hazardous and must be eliminated or
guarded.
7. Outward swinging gates with automatic operators
should not open into a public area.
8. The operating controls for an automatic gate must
be secured to prevent the unauthorized use of those
controls.
9. The controls for an automatic gate should be
located far enough from the gate so that a user
cannot accidentally touch the gate when operating
the controls.
10. An automatic gate operator should not be installed
on a gate if people can reach or extend their arms
or legs through the gate. Such gates should be
guarded or screened to prevent such access.
INSTALLATION
1. If you have any question about the safety of the
gate operating system, do not install this operator.
Consult the operator manufacturer.
2. The condition of the gate structure itself directly
affects the reliability and safety of the gate
operator.
3. Only qualified personnel should install this
equipment. Failure to meet this requirement could
cause severe injury and/or death, for which the
manufacturer cannot be held responsible.
4. The installer must provide a main power switch that
meets all applicable safety regulations.
5. Clearly indicate on the gate with the 2 warning signs
that are included (visible from either side of the
gate).
6. It is extremely unsafe to compensate for a damaged
gate by increasing hydraulic pressure.
7. Devices such as photo beams must be installed to
provide better protection for personal property and
pedestrians. Install reversing devices that are
appropriate to the gate design and gate application.
8. Before applying electrical power, be sure that the
voltage requirements of the equipment correspond
to your supply voltage. Refer to the label on your
operator system.

UNPACKING THE BARRIER
When you receive your Barrier System, complete the
following steps.
Before you remove the barrier beam or cabinet from its
shipping carton, inspect the carton for damage. As you
unpack the carton, insure that all the parts listed below for
your system are included and are undamaged.
Inspect the parts for damage. Notify the carrier immediately
if you note any damage because the carrier must witness the
damage before you can file a claim.
The U.L. listed Model 620 or 640 Barrier gate system
includes a barrier beam and a cabinet housing the hydraulic
operator and control panel.
The main differences between the 620 and the 640 Barrier
systems are in the length of the barrier beam and in the
speed of operation. The 620 system controls beams that are
6-1/2 to 13 ft (2 to 4.5 m) in length and offers extremely
fast opening and closing times. The 620 is ideal for single-
lane vehicular traffic in moderate to heavy traffic. The 620
Barrier can also be articulated (jointed) for use with low
overhead clearances or skirted to prevent vehicles from
passing beneath the beam.
The 640 Barrier system is for barrier beams that are 13 to
23 ft (4 to 7 m) long and is suitable for wide entrances and
heavy-duty applications. The 640 Barrier can also be skirted
(Aluminum Beams Only).
The barrier beam is attached to a heavy-duty, lockable metal
cabinet bolted to a cement foundation. Inside the cabinet
are the operator and the control panel. Important metal
parts of the barrier unit have been powder coated to resist
the effects of rust and smog.
The motor housing holds the oil that drives the pistons and
helps to cool the motor. The temperature of the oil is
monitored, and in high oil temperatures a cooling fan
automatically turns on for further cooling.
The hydraulic motor of either the 620 or 640 operator
drives two single-acting pistons. Both are attached to the
rocker arm, and the rocker arm rotates the barrier beam. A
compression spring attached to one piston serves to
counterbalance the beam, and an adjustable braking feature
guarantees smooth movement of the beam through its
travel and prevents damage to the beam and cabinet from
abrupt stopping.
Some notable features enhance the reliable and safe
operation of the 620 or 640 Barrier. First, a hydraulic
locking device holds the beam in both the opened and
closed positions. Second, the metal cabinet that
houses the operator can be opened only with a key.
Third, the barrier includes a Manual Release function
to disengage the beam from its hydraulic operation
so that you can raise or lower the beam by hand.
Fourth, two adjustable hydraulic valves precisely
control the force of the beam in the opening and
closing directions.
An optional solenoid valve is available for
automatically disengaging the hydraulic system in the
event of power failures.
Both the 620 and 640 Barriers are supplied with the
FAAC 625 BLD Control Panel. The control panel allows
you to select the following:
• Logical mode of operation
• Braking time of the beam
• Pause time between opening and closing
The control panel also provides terminal connections
for a number of other reversing and gate system
accessories.
Furthermore, the control panel provides a number of
light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and a digital display for
easily diagnosing any operational problems.

WARNING! You must have the manual release
key to access the function of the manual release.
Using any other tools could damage the manual
release mechanism.
The Manual Release function for the 620 or 640 Barrier
is engaged with a key in the operator cabinet on the
lower right side. (See figure 2)
Using the Manual Release key to disengage the beam
from hydraulic operation allows you to operate the
barrier by hand.
You disconnect the hydraulic operation of the beam by
turning the Manual Release key counterclockwise. Then
you can raise or lower the barrier by hand.
Manual operation of the beam is important during the
installation process and can be useful during power
interruptions or power failures.
To re-engage the hydraulic operation of the barrier,
turn the key clockwise until the mechanism is “snug”
tight.

WARNING! Do not install the barrier in such a
way that the beam moves within 2 feet (610
mm) of a rigid object.
Installing the 620 or 640 Barrier System consists of the
following general steps:
• Determining the orientation of the installation
• Preparing the forms for the concrete mounting
slab and conduit
• Mounting the cabinet on the concrete slab
• Connecting the main power source to the
operator
• Wiring the control panel for operational logic
• Wiring additional accessories into the control
panel
• Decreasing the hydraulic pressures
• Programming the control panel
• Attaching the barrier beam
• Testing the operation of the beam
Note: The following installation instructions
assume you are fully capable of installing an
electronic barrier gate. This manual does not
instruct you in designing a gate, pouring the
cement foundation, or basic electrical wiring. The
installation tasks discussed in this manual are
tasks peculiar to the 620 and 640 Barriers.
DETERMINE THE ORIENTATION OF THE INSTALLATION
You first need to determine whether your operator is set
up for a right-hand or left-hand installation (see Figure 3).
Open the panel door of the operator cabinet with the key
provided and lift the door up and away from the cabinet,
taking care not to disconnect the cabling to the fan. Look
at the two pistons to see which has the compression
spring surrounding it. Compare your operator with Figure
3 and use the figure to help you determine the orientation
of your installation.
If your operator is not in the correct orientation, turning
the cabinet around 180 deg is the easiest way to solve the
problem. We suggest you call us if your installation site
cannot accommodate this solution since the orientation of
the barrier can be changed with about an hour’s worth of
work.
NOTE: It make no difference if the
hoses are crossed or not.

PREPARE THE FORMS FOR THE CONCRETE SLAB AND
CONDUIT
You need to set the concrete forms to provide a cement
footing that is a minimum of 18 by 18 in. (46 by 46 cm)
and that is poured a minimum of 18 in. (46 cm) below
the ground level or just below the frost line, whichever
is greater (see Figure 4). (Your soil conditions will also
affect the size of the cement footing.) To help prevent
rust, the top of your cement footing should be above
ground level.
Within the form boundaries you must locate the
electrical conduit so that it will protrude through the
foundation plate (the plate is provided as an option) and
above the top of the foundation plate about
1/2 in. (1.3 cm).
The exact placement of the conduit is determined partly
by the foundation plate you use and more importantly
by the access holes in the bottom of the operator
cabinet (see Figure 5). If you choose to supply your own
foundation plate, be sure to use steel that is 3/8 in. (1
cm) thick for the plate and be sure to provide a hole
large enough to accommodate your two electrical
conduits, one for high-voltage wire and one for low-
voltage wire. In addition, your foundation plate needs
four 1/2-in. (1-1/4 cm) anchor bolts that extend at least
6-1/2 in. (16-1/2 cm) into the cement footing. The
anchor bolts should be positioned to match the holes in
the bottom of your operator's cabinet.
1/4”
24”
15”
18”
After the concrete is poured in the forms and before it
sets, place the foundation plate in the cement so that the
top of the plate is level and flush with the top of the
cement.
Allow the concrete to set a minimum of two full days
before you mount the operator cabinet.
With the key provided, open the operator's panel door
and lift the door away from the cabinet. It may be
necessary on your model of operator to disconnect the
wiring to the fan on the panel door to allow you to more
easily handle the heavy cabinet.
Set the operator cabinet on the foundation plate, aligning
the holes in the bottom of the cabinet with the bolts and
conduit protruding above the foundation plate. Bolt the
cabinet to the foundation plate and cement footing. If
necessary, reconnect the wiring to the fan on the panel
door.
Before connecting the main power to your barrier, you
must remove the vent screw on the hydraulic power pack.
Midway along the top, left edge of the hydraulic power
pack is a 3 mm Allen screw. Remove it now. Failure to
remove the screw can result in erratic operation of the
barrier beam. Do not throw the screw away in case you
ever need to transport the barrier unit or its hydraulic
power pack.

CHECK THE COMPRESSION SPRING
The compression spring should be adjusted so that it
holds the beam in any position that it is placed while in
manual mode. (Manual mode is discussed on page 7
shown in Fig. 2)
Move the beam by hand to a half-opened position. The
beam should stay there when you remove your hand.
Note: All compression spring adjustments should
be made with the beam in the vertical (open)
position.
If the beam drifts toward the closed position, turn the
adjuster nut (shown in Fig. 10) clockwise to tighten the
compression spring.
If the beam drifts toward the opened position, turn the
adjuster nut (shown in Fig. 10) counterclockwise to
loosen the compression spring.
.
Note: Proper adjustment of the spring will
counterbalance the beam. This will allow the
minimal pressure setting necessary to move the
beam in a smooth movement.
NOTE: The spanner wrench shown in figure 10
is NOT sold by FAAC or needed top make this
adjustment.
ATTACH THE BARRIER BEAM
WARNING! Do not install the barrier in such a way
that the beam moves within 2 feet (610 mm) of a
rigid object.
Before you attach the barrier beam, be sure you have
disconnected the barrier from hydraulic operation by
means of the Manual Release mechanism (turning the
key counterclockwise).
Next you attach the beam to the operator cabinet with
the beam in a vertical position. See Figure 8 if you are
attaching an aluminum beam to a model 620
operator ,see Figure 9 if you are attaching an aluminum
beam to a model 640 operator. (Wooden beams require
additional sandwich plates).
CHECK THE MECHANICAL STOPS
First, be sure the hydraulic operation of the beam is still
disengaged (the Manual Release key should be turned
counterclockwise). Next, move the beam by hand from
the fully opened position (vertical) to the fully closed
position (horizontal) and back to the fully opened
position. If the positions are not perfectly vertical and
perfectly horizontal, then adjust the mechanical stops
as necessary (see Figure 7) using a 17mm socket
wrench. The jam nut must be loosened first and
tightened last.

ADJUST THE HYDRAULIC PRESSURES
Now that the beam is attached, re-engage the hydraulic
operation of the barrier by rotating the Manual Release
key clockwise.
Send an opening activating signal to the barrier. The
signal should open the barrier. If it does not open,
increase the pressure of the opening bypass valve (the
green valve) by turning the screw clockwise in small,
1/8- turn increments until the beam does open.
Test the closing of the barrier in the same way. If the
beam fails to move in the closing direction, then
increase the pressure of the closing bypass valve (the
red valve) by turning the screw clockwise in small
increments until the beam does close.
Remember that you should set the bypass pressure
valves so that the beam works with the least pressure
necessary. It is a safety feature of the barrier that the
beam should apply no more than about 33 lb (15 kg)
force against any obstacle it might encounter.
WARNING! For maximum safety to people and
property, use photo eyes and other non-contact
reversing devices in addition to adjusting the
bypass pressure valves to the minimum settings.
INSTALLING THE EMERGENCY BYPASS SOLENOID
AND ANTI-VANDALISM VALVE (230VAC MODELS
ONLY)
WARNING! Turn the main power off before you
make any electrical connections or set any
switches inside the control panel box.
The emergency bypass solenoid automatically
disengages the hydraulic system of the barrier beam
when the main power is not available. This allows the
barrier to be raised by hand so that people and vehicles
can safely pass during power interruptions and failures
without having to manual release the barrier.
Note: Once the emergency bypass solenoid has
disengaged the hydraulic system and once you
have raised the beam by hand, you cannot lower
the barrier beam until the power is restored or
by using the manual release key.
If you are installing the optional emergency bypass
solenoid, you must first turn off the main power and
disengage the hydraulic system by using the Manual
Release key.
Then you disassemble the hydraulic lines between the
pistons and the operator so that you can install new
hydraulic pipe fittings.
After installing the new pipe fittings, install the
emergency bypass solenoid as shown in figure ()
After connecting the solenoid, you need to connect the
hydraulic lines between the operator and the pistons.
How you connect the lines depends on the orientation
of your barrier installation (see Figure 11).
Finally, connect the solenoid to your main power line
so that it can sense when power is or is not available
(see Figure 11).
Re-engage the hydraulic system with the Manual
Release key so that you can test the installed solenoid.
To test the solenoid, turn off the power to the barrier. If
the solenoid works, you should be able to raise the
beam but not lower it after raising it. You should be
able to lower the beam only after turning the power
back on.
Install the anti-vandalism
valve with the instructions
that are provided with it in
it’s packaging.

Skirted Beams: Part Numbers of Compression Springs for Various Lengths
Unbolt the piston with the compression spring from the
rocker arm. Then very carefully unscrew the cap holding
the compression spring by hand to the left to remove
the spring from the piston. Remove the spring from the
piston.
NOTE: Hold the bottom of the piston cylinder to
keep the piston rod from sliding out of the
cylinder.
Install the correct compression spring by placing it over
the piston and screwing it into place with adjusting cap.
Then bolt the piston to the rocker arm and reinstall the
steel cross member. Re-engage the hydraulics by
turning the Manual Release key clockwise.
Be sure to recheck the tension of the compression
spring before you turn on the main power to the
operator. Then be sure to adjust the hydraulic
pressures.
CHANGING THE LENGTH OR TYPE OF BARRIER
BEAM
WARNING! Do not install the barrier in such a
way that the beam moves within 2 feet (610 mm)
of a rigid object.
Changing the length or type of the beam requires
installing a different balancing compression spring.
Make sure you have the correct compression spring
(designed for a particular weight of beam).
The installer is responsible for making sure that the
compression spring is the correct spring for the barrier
beam.
The following tables show which springs are designed
for various beam types and lengths. To check for the
part number of the compression spring in your barrier,
check the tag attached to the spring previously
installed.
If it is necessary for you to replace the spring in a
cabinet with another compression spring, do the
following. First, turn off the main power to the operator
and then open the cabinet panel. Turn the Manual
Release key counterclockwise. Then move the beam by
hand to the fully opened position.
