1. Install the gate operator only when the following
conditions have been met:
• The operator is appropriate for the type and usage
class of the gate.
• All openings of a horizontal slide gate have been
guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate to
a minimum of 4 feet (1.25 m) above the ground to
prevent a 2.25 inch (55 mm) diameter sphere from
passing through openings anywhere in the gate or
through that portion of the adjacent fence that the
gate covers when in the open position.
• All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded.
• Guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.
2. The operator is intended for installation on gates used
by vehicles only. Pedestrians must be provided with a
separate access opening.
3. To reduce the risk of entrapment when opening and
closing, the gate must be installed in a location that
allows adequate clearance between the gate and
adjacent structures. Swinging gates shall not open
outward into public access areas.
4. Before installing the gate operator, ensure that the gate
has been properly installed and that it swings freely in
both directions. Do not over-tighten the operator clutch
or pressure relief valve to compensate for a damaged
gate.
5. User controls must be installed at least 6 feet (1.83
m) away from any moving part of the gate and located
where the user is prevented from reaching over, under,
around or through the gate to operate the controls.
Controls located outdoors or those that are easily
accessible shall have security features to prevent
unauthorized use.
6. The Stop and/or Reset buttons must be located within
line-of-sight of the gate. Activation of the reset control
shall not cause the operator to start.
7. All warning signs and placards must be installed
and easily seen within visible proximity of the gate. A
minimum of one warning sign shall be installed on each
side of the gate.
8. For gate operators that utilize a non-contact sensor
(photo beam or the like):
• See instructions on the placement of non-contact
sensors for each type of application.
• Exercise care to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping,
such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while the
gate is still moving.
• Locate one or more non-contact sensors where the
risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as at
the reachable perimeter of a moving gate or barrier.
• Use only FAAC “Photobeam” photoelectric eyes to
comply with UL325.
Important Installation Instructions
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE
INJURY OR DEATH:
• READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
• Never let children operate or play with the gate
controls. Keep remote controls away from children.
• Always keep people and objects away from the
gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF A
MOVING GATE.
• Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST
reverse on contact with a rigid object or when an
object activates a non-contact sensor. If necessary,
adjust the force or the limit of travel and then retest
the gate operator. Failure to properly adjust and retest
the gate operator can increase the risk of injury or
death.
• Use the manual release mechanism only when the
gate is not moving.
• KEEP GATE PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Have
a qualied service person make repairs to gate
hardware.
• The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must
use a separate entrance.
• SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

detail at a(bar S) and b(bar L)
4. INSTALLING THE OPERATOR
4.1 Preliminary checks
For the safety and correct operation, make sure that the following
conditions are met:
• When in motion, the beam must not encounter obstacles or
power cables.
• The characteristics of the ground must guarantee sucient
solidity of the concrete foundation.
• No pipes or electrical cables should be present in the foundation
digging area.
• If the barrier body is exposed to vehicle transit, provide for
adequate protection against accidental impact, when possible.
• Ensure that there is an availabe and good earth ground
connection.
Position the foundation plate so as to allow easy
access to the barrier door. The foundation pad must
be installed keeping in mind the characteristics of
the ground to ensure perfect stability of the operator.
4.2 Install the foundation plate
• Assemble the foundation plate as shown in Fig. 5 ref. a
• Build a concrete pad as shown in Fig. 5 ref. b
• Set the foundation plate as shown in Fig. 5 ref. bproviding for
one or more conduits for the passage of the electrical cables.

• Adjust the opening and closing mechanical stops as shown
in Fig. 15, and tighten the lock nut.
4.4 Balancing the Beam
WARNING: This procedure is mandatory as the barrier is not
balanced at the factory. The beam is balanced when, with the
operator released, (ref. par. 5) the beam remains stationary
in the 45° position.
To balance the beam, proceed as follows:
• Install the beam and all related accessories on the barrier
structure, as required by the final configuration of the system.
• Make sure that the operator is released.
• Manually move the beam to the 45° position and verify that it
remains stationary. If the beam tends to open, turn the spring
preload ring nut anti-clockwise (Fig. 16 ref. a); if it tends to
close, turn the ring nut clockwise (Fig. 16 ref. b).
• Adjustements are easily made with the beam in the open
position
5. MANUAL OPERATION
Should manual operation of the barrier be required due to power
outage or malfunction, the manual release device can be operated
with the supplied key. The key is either triangular (Fig. 17 ref. a)
or customised (Fig. 17 ref. boptional).
• Insert the key in the lock and turn it counter clockwise until
it clicks into place, as shown in Fig. 17
• Open or close the beam manually.
With the beam released, the motor may start for
approximately 3 seconds. This is normal and
determined by the parameter Hold Close / Hold Open
6. POWER CONNECTION
AC POWER GUIDELINES:
The B680H uses a single phase AC power line to operate, char-
ge the optional 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
qualied 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 exible conduit UL
listed for electric cable protection
4. Properly ground the 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.
AC POWER CONNECTION
To connect AC power to the controller:
1. Turn OFF the circuit breaker for the AC gate operator power
before connecting the AC input wires.
2. Turn OFF the Power Switch in the B680H before connecting
the AC input wires.
3. Connect the AC input wires to the power switch in the B680H
See the Fig. 18 for the connections.
4. Connect Ground to the dedicated terminal as shon in the Fig. 18
5.1 RESTORING NORMAL OPERATION
To avoid an accidental opening the barrier during this operation
turn the power off before using the locking system.
To restore normal operation turn the key clockwise until it stops
and then remove it

8. REVERSING THE OPENING DIRECTION
The opening direction of the barrier is determined by the location
of the spring, the spring guide and the preload adjustment ring.
The spring must be compressed during the closing movement
(see Fig. 7). Should it be necessary to change the opening
direction, proceed as follows:
• Release the operator, place the beam in vertical position,
then lock the operator again.
• Remove the beam referencing Fig. 12
• Loosen the pre-load nut ring if there is any pressure on it,
so there is no spring tension against the pre-load nut before
you remove the piston.
• Remove the bolt securing the plunging piston to the rocker
arm, as shown in Fig. 9.
• Remove the pre-load ring nut, then remove the balancing
spring and spring guide, reversing the order described in
Fig. 10.
• Reattach the piston in the correct hole on the rocker arm
• Release the operator, turn the rocker arm 90°
• Remove the bolt holding the piston on the opposite side and
re-insert, in order, the spring guide, the balancing spring and
the the ring nut in the piston installed on the new closing
side, according to the order described in Fig. 10. Once this
is done, reattach the piston on the rocker arm.
• Reinstall the beam following the instructions in Fig. 12.
• Balance the system once again following the procedure
described in par. 4.4.
• Relock the operator following the instructions in par. 5
• Reverse the motor cable connection as shown below

9. MAINTENANCE
When performing periodic maintenance, always check for correct
balancing of the system and correct operation of the safety
devices.
9.1 Topping up the oil
Check the amount of oil in the tank every 6 months. The level must
be between the two notches on the inspection stick.
To top up, unscrew the filler cap (Fig. 8 ref. a) and pour oil up to
the indicated level. Use only FAAC HP OIL.
9.2 Air bleeding
FAAC products are delivered already bled of any air in the
hydraulic circuit. Maintenance operations, replacing spare parts
(e.g. hydraulic hoses) or careless transport can cause entry of air
in the hydraulic circuit, which in turn can cause irregular movement
of the operator or reduced torque. Should the beam movement
be irregular, release the air from the hydraulic system following
the instructions below:
• Electrically operate the beam:
• When opening is completed, slightly loosen and tighten the
bleeder screw of the piston with the balance spring (Fig. 1
ref. d).
• When closing is completed, slightly loosen and tighten the
bleeder screw of the piston without the balance spring (Fig.
1 ref. l).
If necessary, repeat the operation until regular movement of the
beam is obtained.
Care needs to be taken at this stage as the pistons
contain oil under pressure which could leak out if the
screws are loosened too much.
If the parameters FO and FC in Advanced Configuration
have been changed and set to a value lower than default,
we recommend setting them to an equal or greater value
during bleeding, to facilitate the operation.

4. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
To connect the
photocells and safety
devices, refer
to paragraph 4.1.1
Released beam
Integrated
flashing
traffic light
4.1 Terminal board J1 (inputs)
OPEN - Open” command (N.O. - terminal 3): means any pulse
generator (e.g. button) which, by closing a contact, commands
opening and/or closing of the barrier.
CLOSE - Close” command (N.O. - terminal 4): means any pulse
generator (e.g. button) which, by closing a contact, commands closing
of the barrier.
FSW - Safety contact when closing (N.C. - terminal 5): the purpose
of the closing safeties is to protect the area affected by the movement
of the barrier during the closing phase, reversing its motion. They
never trip during the opening cycle.
The closing Safeties, if engaged when the automated system is open,
prevent the closing movement.
If CLOSE safety devices are not connected, jumper
terminals FSW and GND (Fig. 26) and leave the FAILSAFE
function (parameter o1 in Advanced Conguration) set
on the default value (disabled)
STP - STOP contact (N.C. - terminal 6): means any device (e.g.
button) which, by opening a contact, can stop movement of the
automated system.
If STOP safety devices are not connected, jumper
terminals STOP and GND (Fig. 26)
EMR - Emergency contact (N.C. - terminal 7): means any device
(e.g. switch) which, if activated in a situation of emergency, will open
the barrier until the contact is restored. When activated, this input has
priority over any other command.
If emergency safety devices are not connected, jumper
terminals ALM and GND (Fig. 26)
GND (terminals 8-9) - Accessories power supply minus
+24 (terminals 10-11) - Accessories power supply plus
The maximum load of the accessories is 800mA. To
calculate absorption, refer to the instructions included
with the individual accessories.
4.1.1 Connecting the safety devices
The E680 control board features an input for closing safety devices,
which trip during closing of the automated system, provided to protect
the gate area from the risk of impact.
These devices must use a signal with “N.C.” contact, and must be
connected in series to the relay photocells that may be installed on
the system, as shown in Fig. 23 to Fig. 26.
Fig. 23: connection of one pair of closing photocells, with FAILSAFE
safety enabled: in addition to making the connection as
shown in the diagram, it is necessary to set in Advanced
Configuration o1 = 00
Fig. 24: connection of one pair of closing photocells without
FAILSAFE safety
Fig.25: connection of two pairs of closing photocells without
FAILSAFE safety
Fig. 26: connection of no safety device

having cut off electrical power
4.3 Terminal board J3 (external ashing lamp)
LAMP: to these terminals you can connect a 24VDC FAACLED
external flashing lamp. The integrated flashing traffic light must be
connected independently to connector J15.
The 24V FAACLIGHT with incandescent lamp cannot
be connected to the J3 connector
4.4 Terminal board J4 (loop detector)
LOOP 1: magnetic loop LOOP 1
(OPEN, terminals 24-25): for OPENING.
LOOP 2: magnetic loop LOOP 2
(SAFETY/CLOSE, terminals 26-27): for SAFETY/CLOSING.
4.5 Connector J5 (Motor)
Rapid connector for connecting the motor.
4.6 Connector J7 (Encoder)
The B680H barrier is equipped with a device for detecting the opening
angle/bar position to ensure greater anti-crushing safety thanks to
the possibility of reversing the direction of movement the moment in
which an obstacle is detected. This device interfaces with the board
through connector J7.
4.7 Connector J10 (Radio)
Used for the rapid connection of the RP / RP2 Receivers. If a
2-channel receiver is used, like the RP2, it will be possible to directly
command automated system OPEN and CLOSE from a 2-channel
radio control. If a 1-channel receiver is used, like the RP, it will only
be possible to command OPEN.
4.8 Connector J11 (Beam break-out sensor)
Designed for connecting the break-out sensor for the pivoting beam
(if present). The sensor is optional. If it is not present, do not remove
the installed jumper.
4.9 Connector J12 (Emergency battery)
This connector is for connecting a battery (optional) for ensuring
automated system operation in case of temporary cut off of the main
power supply.
4.10 Connector J13 (36VDC Power Supply)
This factory-wired connector powers the E680 board.
The terminal shown in Fig. 1 ref. a must be connected
to the system earth by the installer during the electrical
connection operations.
4.11 Connector J15 (ashing trac light)
This connector is for connecting the flashing traffic light built into
the barrier head. The flashing traffic light visually signals barrier
movement and, if needed, can control access to the property using
the different light colors.
