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 qualied service person make repairs to gate
hardware.
• The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must
use a separate entrance.
• SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

a󰀨ects the reliability and safety of the gate operator.
• Only qualied 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.
• The installer must provide a main power switch that
meets all applicable safety regulations.
• It is extremely unsafe to compensate for a damaged
gate by increasing hydraulic pressure.
• Install devices such as reversing edges and photo
beams to provide better protection for personal
property and pedestrians. Install reversing devices
that are appropriate to the gate design and
application.
• Before applying electrical power, ensure that voltage
requirements of the equipment correspond to the
supply voltage. Refer to the label on your gate
operator system.
Usage
• Use this equipment only in the capacity for which it
was designed. Any use other than that stated should
be considered improper and therefore dangerous.

General Safety Precautions
9. For gate operators that utilize a contact sensor (edge
sensor or similar):
• Locate one or more contact sensors where the risk
of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as at the
leading edge, trailing edge, and post mounted both
inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal slide gate
• Locate one or more contact sensors at the bottom
edge of a vehicular vertical lift gate.
• Locate one or more contact sensors at the bottom
edge of a vertical barrier (arm).
• Locate one or more contact sensors at the pinch point
of a vehicular vertical pivot gate.
• Locate hard-wired contact sensors and wiring so that
communication between sensor and gate operator is
not subjected to mechanical damage.
• Locate wireless contact sensors, such as those that
transmit radio frequency (RF) signals, where the
transmission of signals are not obstructed or impeded
by building structures, natural landscaping or similar
hindrances. Wireless contact sensors shall function
under their intended end-use conditions.
• Use only FAAC CN60E edge sensor.

B680H BARRIER GATE OPERATOR
The B680H barrier gate operator system consists of a white
aluminium beam with reflectors and optional lights, a steel upright
profile and a metal cover. The operator is mounted on the upright
profile and it's made with a hydraulic unit and two plunging pistons
connected to it, which, by means of a rocker arm, rotate the beam.
The beam weight is balanced with a spring fitted on one of the two
plunging pistons. The electronic control equipment is also housed
on the upright profile, inside a transparent plastic compartment,
The whole operator is protected by the external metal cover.
The system features an adjustable electronic anti-crushing safety,
a device that guarantees stopping and locking of the beam in
any position, and a convenient manual release for use in case of
power outage or malfunction.

3. DIMENSIONS
For barrier dimensions, refer to Fig. 4. The cover size is the same
for both models, while the beam dimensions di󰀨er as shown in
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 su󰀩cient
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.
