FAAC E124 Instruction Manual

Pre-installation Checks
Please ensure that the correct cabling has been installed prior to commissioning of the system, as
incorrect cabling can prevent the unit from operating correctly immediately or after installation.
BUS-2EASY ENCODER and PHOTOCELLS Cable Specification: 2 core 0.5mm2 Multi-Strand Shielded Cable
with the Sheath connected to the Earth at one end. Please do not share BUS-2EASY devices with other DC
Voltage devices as it leads to electrical noise causing interference with the digital data on BUS-2EASY.
Motor Cable Specification: Minimum 2 core 2.5mm2 Multi-Strand Cable for a recommended distance of
10mtrs, further distances are possible but will require thicker cable.

These instructions are to be considered as a rapid guide for installation and to confirm the correct
handing and polarity of the motors. They can also be used to confirm the operating logics before
additional safety devices are fitted to the system as specified by the Risk Assessment undertaken by the
installer. The installer should still familiarise themselves with the full manual and the safety information
contained within. (available at https://www.faac.co.uk/accessories-and-control-boards/control-

If no safety devices such as traditional photocells and
Emergency Stop Button fitted, please link the terminals as
above and confirm the as shown above LED’s are lit.
The below shows a typical wiring of a set of photocells
outside across the opening (closing safety) and a set of
photocells inside beyond the arc of the gate (opening and
closing safety) and the STOP circuit linked out and confirming

The following shortened table shows the programming
operations of the dip-switch inside the transmitter and the
receiver of the BUS-2EASY photocells. The full manual
contains the full list.

or simple programming of the motor type and logic only
Basic Programming is required as below. The first
parameter that MUST be set is the “CF”. This will then allow correct configuration to proceed. Please note
that until SETUP as been completed the display will show a flashing “50”, which is SETUP requested.
Please note that if you have a mixed system i.e. A S700H/S800H and a S800H ENC or 413 and 418, this will
require the use of Easyboard software. A Windows laptop or Mac Laptop with a Type A to Type B USB lead
will be required. Available to download from https://faac.biz/documents/?drawer=Software*EasyBoard

Please note that for the majority of systems the default power and speed settings will be sufficient to allow
the first setup. These values will generally require further adjustments if force limitation is being used as part
of the safety systems and a new setup should be run after the power settings are changed.

The below in the figure is what should be seen as an example for a double gate that is using encoders.

The above is
the Status references is what will be seen under normal operation, even if the alarm LED is
illuminated. To identify the error the signalling Errors and Alarms procedure should be followed.

The following shows the typical wiring of a Maglock using either OUT 1 or OUT 2
with a relay and separate power
supply
, which are configurable in the Advanced Programming
by holding “F” and “+” together.
The following parameters from Advanced Programming may also
need to be changed if the SETUP continues to fail.
