In Europe, the automation of a barrier falls under the
Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and the correspon-
ding harmonised standards. Anyone automating a
barrier (new or existing) is classified as the Manufac-
turer of the Machine. They are therefore required by
law, among other things, to carry out a risk analysis
of the machine (automatic barrier in its entirety) and
take protective measures to fulfil the essential safety
requirements specified in Annex I of the Machinery
Directive.
FAAC S.p.A. recommends that you always comply
with the EN 12453 standard and in particular that you
adopt the safety criteria and devices indicated, without
exception, including the dead-man function.
This manual also contains general information and
guidelines, which are purely illustrative and not exhau-
stive, in order to facilitate the activities carried out by
the Manufacturer of the Machine in all respects with
regard to carrying out the risk analysis and drafting the
instructions for use and maintenance of the machine. It
should be clearly understood that FAAC S.p.A. accepts
no liability for the reliability and/ or completeness of
the above instructions. As such, the manufacturer of
the machine must carry out all the activities required
by the Machinery Directive and the corresponding
harmonised standards on the basis of the actual
condition of the locations and structures where the
product B614 will be installed, prior to commissioning
the machine.These activities include the analysis of all
the risks associated with the machine and subsequent
implementation of all safety measures intended to
fulfil the essential safety requirements.
This manual contains references to European stan-
dards. The automation of a barrier must fully comply
with any laws, standards and regulations applicable in
the country where installation will take place.

3.1 INTENDED USE
The B614 barriers are designed for vehicular access
control in residential buildings/apartment complexes.
To move the beam manually, follow the instructions
for manual functioning.
! Any other use that is not expressly specified in these
instructions is prohibited and could affect the integri-
ty of the product and/or represent a source of danger.
3.2 LIMITATIONS OF USE
Comply with the limitations on frequency of use listed
in the technical data section.
The B614 requires the use of a specific FAAC beam
that conforms to the dimensions indicated in this
manual. Only the FAAC accessories indicated in this
manual should be installed on the beam.
The B614 requires the use of a FAAC spring that is
adequate for counterbalancing the weight of the beam
and the relative accessories.
The barriers with exclusively vehicle access control
must be fitted with suitable visible signs prohibiting
foot traffic. A separate route for foot traffic outside
the range of the beam must be provided and properly
indicated.
If foot traffic cannot be ruled out, the barrier falls within
the scope of the EN 12453 standard.
The presence of weather conditions such as snow, ice
and strong wind, even occasional, could affect the
correct operation of the automation, the integrity of
the components and be a potential source of danger
(see § Emergency use). The limitations of use of the
B614 in wind is equivalent to grade 10 on the Beaufort
Scale (max. speed: 102 km/h).
The installation must be visible during the day and
at night. If it is not, appropriate solutions must be
provided to make the fixed and moving parts visible
(light kit on the beam).
The B614 must be connected to a FAAC electronic
board as indicated in this manual ( Technical cha-
racteristics).
Implementing the automation requires the installa-
tion of the necessary safety devices, identified by the
installer through an appropriate risk assessment of
the installation site.

RH/LH barrier B614 makes it possible to build a right
hand or left hand barrier without modifying the
barrier body.
LiThe barrier will be installed with the door towards
the inside of the property.
The barrier is defined by observing it from the door
side:
- RH barrier (right): the beam closes towards the
right (in a clockwise direction)
- LH barrier (left): the beam closes towards the left
(in an anticlockwise direction)
Irreversible system To allow manual operation, the
release manoeuvre must be performed.
Encoder B614 is fitted with an encoder. The encoder
constantly detects the precise position of the beam
and makes it possible to manage the end of stroke
and slowing downs stored with the set up.
Anticrushing operation The encoder allows the board
to create the anticrushing feature:
-the recognition of an obstacle during closure cau-
ses the manoeuvre to be reversed
-the recognition of an obstacle during opening
causes the beam to stop.
Adjustable end of stroke The barrier is fitted with an
adjustable mechanical end of opening and closing
stroke feature.
Equipment A rectangular or round beam can be
installed. The components necessary for the instal-
lation and the optional equipment are listed in the
dedicated sections.
Balancing system The balancing spring must be used
FAAC. The single or double spring depending on the
length and configuration of the installed beam must
be fitted in the definite fitting positions.
! The balancing system is important for safety reasons
to ensure the stability and control of the beam during
movement and keep it operating properly over time.
Master-Slave Configuration To install two barriers that
open in opposite directions it is necessary to create
the Master-Slave configuration.

4. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
The mechanical structural components must comply
with the requirements of EN 12604:2002. Before
installing the automation, the suitability of the mecha-
nical requirements must be established and any work
that is necessary in order to meet them carried out.
The essential mechanical requirements are as follows:
! Firm ground to support the weight of the barrier with
flat, horizontal paving. There must be no chance of
water accumulating in the installation area.
The thresholds and protrusions of the paving must
be appropriately shaped in order to prevent the risk
of sliding or slipping.
For the creation of detection loops, refer to the specific
instructions.
Presence of a safety area between the wall (or other
fixed element) and the end of the beam, to protect
against the risk of persons becoming trapped/
crushed.
Presence of safety areas between the fixed and
moving parts to prevent hands from being crushed.
For the minimum dimensions to prevent crushing/
shearing of body parts, refer to EN 349. For the
safety distances required to prevent danger zones
being reached, refer to ISO 13857.
Presence of enough working space needed for the in-
stallation manoeuvres and subsequent maintenance
operations, bearing in mind the opening of the service
door and the positioning/removal of the cabinet and
any other elements.
Absence of fixed or mobile obstacles to the move-
ment of the beam (e.g.: branches, overhead cables,
ceilings).
If the installation area presents the possibility of vehi-
cle impact, provide adequate protective structures to
protect the barrier body.

The electrical cables of the automation system must
be of a size and insulation class that is compliant
with current legislation and laid in appropriate rigid
or flexible conduits, either above or below ground.
Use separate conduits for the power supply and the
12-24 V control devices / accessories cables.
In the case of a Master-Slave configuration, a cable
conduit has to be installed for the cables that connect
the two electronic boards.
Check buried cable plans to ensure that there are no
other electrical cables in proximity to the planned
digging/drilling locations to prevent the risk of
electrocution.
Check that there are no pipes in the vicinity as well.
The external electronic board must be housed in an
enclosure that has a minimum IP 44 protection rating
and fitted with a lock or another type of device to pre-
vent access by unauthorised persons. The enclosure
must be located in an accessible and non-hazardous

outlets must face downwards.
The conduit fittings and the cable glands must prevent
the entry of moisture, insects and small animals.
Protect extension connections using junction boxes
with an IP 67 protection rating or higher.
The overall length of the BUS cables must not exceed
100 m.
The barrier must always be visible to prevent it from
being hit accidentally; an adequate lighting system
is required.
It is recommended to install a flashing light in a visible
position to indicate when it is moving.
For the creation of detection loops, refer to the relative
instructions.
The control accessories must be positioned in areas
that are always accessible and not dangerous for
the user. It is recommended to position the control
accessories within the field of view of the automation.

5. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
F Carry out the work with the power supply discon-
nected.
! The installation must comply with Standards
EN 12453 and EN 12445.
Mark off the work site and prohibit access/tran-
sit. Before the barrier is fixed to the foundation there
are risks of tripping and falls.
When working in the box there are risks of cutting,
shearing, crushing hands due to the presence of
moving parts. Until the installation is completed,
the partially installed barrier must always be left
blocked and with the door and upper lid always
closed to prevent access to the electronic parts and
the moving mechanical pars.
Never install the beam before fixing the barrier body
and checking it.
Until the installation is complete, never leave the bar-
rier unguarded with the beam fitted. If the beam is
fitted, the barrier must be locked with the beam open.
If installation is outside, it must be done in good
weather without rain or gusts of wind. If it is
raining, an adequate shelter for the barrier must be
made until the mechanical and electronic installation
is complete.
Never manage the barrier by holding the board holder.
