1. General Description
The 455 D control board is used to operate the FAAC High
Voltage swing gate operators. It has several operating logics
built in, programmable with the help of a display and push-
buttons. The board allows connection of various accessories
including monitored photocell for compliance with the
UL325 standard Ed: 7.
The 455D control board allows the connection of 1 close
and up to 2 open entrapment protection devices.
The board should be installed in an enclosure that is con-
veniently located as close as possible to the gate operator.
All electrical connections from the control board to the
operator must be made in a weatherproof junction box.
The 5 pin J2 connector allows to plug in the FAAC RP radio
receivers

Terminal Block J1 - Accessories
OPEN A - “Total Opening” Command (N.O.):
Any pulse generator (push-button, detector, etc.) which, by
closing a contact, commands opening and/or closing of
both gate leaves. To install several full opening pulse gen-
erators, connect the N.O. contacts in parallel.
OPEN B - “Partial Opening” Command (N.O.) / Closing:
Any pulse generator (push-button, detector, etc.) which, by
closing a contact, commands opening and/or closing of
the leaf driven by motor M1. In the B and C logics, it always
commands closing of both leaves. To install several partial
opening pulse generators, connect the N.O. contacts in
parallel. See logic chart for exact operation.
STP - STOP Contact (N.C.):
Any device (e.g. a push-button) which, by opening a con-
tact, is able to stop gate movement. To install several STOP
devices, connect the N.C. contacts in series. It also can act
as an addional monitored opening safey.
Note: If STOP devices are not used, connect a jumper between
the STP terminals and -.
CL FSW - Closing Safety Contact (N.C.):
The closing safety input is used to protect the leaf move-
ment area during closing. While closing, an activation of
the the safety device connected to this input will reverse the
movement of the gate leaves. This input is inactive during
the opening cycle. To be compliant with the UL325 standard
at least one monitored safety device must be connected
to this input. See the next paragraph on how to connect
a monitored device. If this input is active when the gate is
open it will prevent the leaf closing movement.
OP FSW - Opening safety devices contact (N.C.):
The opening safety input is used to protect the leaf move-
ment area during opening. While opening, an activa-
tion of the the safety device connected to this input will
reverse the movement of the gate leaves. This input is
inactive during the closing cycle. To be compliant with the
UL325 standard if this input is used to protect an entrap-
ment zone at least one monitored safety device must be
connected to it. See the next paragraph on how to con-
nect a monitored device. If this input is active when the
gate is closed it will prevent the leaf opening movement.
– - Negative for power supply to accessories
+ - 24 VDC - Positive for power supply to accessories
Important: Accessories max. load is 500 mA. To calculate
current draw, refer to the instructions for individual
accessories.
-TX FSW - Negative Power to photocell transmitters.
This terminal is used for the photocells monitoring feature.
Compliance with the UL325 standard requires connecting
the transmitter photocell negative power to this input and
activating the FAIL SAFE function (see Advanced Program-
ming). This will allow the 455 D board to check the correct
operation of the safety photecells before each opening
or closing cycle.
Terminal Block J5 - Indicator-Light and Electric Lock
W.L. - Power supply to indicator-light
Connect a 24 VDC - 3 W max. indicator-light, if neces-
sary, between this terminal and the +24V supply. To avoid
compromising correct operation of the system, do not
exceed the indicated power.
LOCK - Power supply to electric lock
If necessary, connect a 12 Vac electric strike lock be-
tween this terminal and the +24V power supply. Or con-
nect a 12 Vac relay and a Maglock following the sche-
matic above.
Terminal Block J6 - Limit-Switches
These inputs are dedicated to the connection of opening
and closing limit switches

Entrapment protection
To comply with the UL325 standard for gate operators every
entrapment zone, as defined in ASTMF2200, must be pro-
tected by two independent entrapment protection devices.
One of the devices is inherent in the FAAC operators or the
control board design, the other can be external, like a pho-
tocell or an edge sensor.
See the following picture for the photocells positioning:
Closing Safety Devices Opening Safety
Devices
Opening Safety Devices:
Are active only during the gate opening movement, and
are suitable for protecting the area between the opening
leaves and fixed obstacles (walls, etc) agains the risk of
entrapment
Closing Safety Devices:
Are active only during the gate closing movement, and are
suitable for protecting the closing area against the risk of
entrapment.
Monitored Devices:
Additionaly the UL325 standard requires that every external
entrapment protection device must be monitored for
presence and correct operation. The closing safety devices
are always monitored, see the following picture for the wiring
of a pair of photocells as closing safety devices.
NOTE: one closing safety device must always be connected
for the system to work.

Opening/Closing Safety Devices:
They operate during the gate opening and closing move-
ments and are suitable to protect the opening and closing
areas against the risk of impact. Typically these photocells
work in combination with other monitored photocell pro-
tecting closing or opening entrapment zones. In that case
they can’t be monitored so they can only protect against
potential impact on vehicles.

7. Operating Logics
This is a brief description of the main operating logics of the
system. For a complete description please refer to Table 3
• E (semi-automatic): This mode requires a command to
open and a command to close. A second command
during opening stops the gate. A second command
during closing reopens the gate.
• A (automatic): The gate opens on command and
automatically closes after the pause time. A second
command while opening is ignored; a second com-
mand during the pause phase interrupts the pause
time; a second command during closing reopens the
gate. A maintained open command will hold the gate
open.
• S (security): The security mode is like A logic except
that a second command during opening immediately
closes the gate. A maintained open command will not
hold the gate open.
• EP (semi-automatic, step by step): This mode requires
a command to open and a command to close. A
second command during opening or closing causes
the gate to stop. A third command then reverses the
previous motion of the gate.
• B (manned, pulsed): This mode is designed for guard
station use and requires a three button switch (pulsed)
to open, close, and stop the gate.
• C (manned and constant): This mode requires con-
stant pressure switches. One to open and one to close.
No pressure on a switch stops the gate.

Advanced Programming:
To access ADVANCED PROGRAMMING, press and hold key F
and then press key +:
• Release key +, the unit displays the name of the first
function.
• Release key F, modify the value of the function with keys
+ and -.
• Press and hold key F, the unit displays the name of the
next function, and if you release it, the value that can be
modified with keys + and -.
• When you reach the last function, press F to exit the pro-
gram, the unit resumes monitoring input status.
The following table shows the sequence of functions
accessible in ADVANCED PROGRAMMING:
ADVANCED PROGRAMMING
MAXIMUM TORQUE AT INITIAL THRUST:
The motors operate at maximum torque
(ignoring the torque setting) at start of
movement. Useful for heavy leaves.
= Active = Disabled
LAST STROKE AT CLOSING:
The motors are activated at full speed for 1
second to facilitate locking of the electric lock.
= Active =Disabled
REVERSING STROKE:
Before opening, while the gate is closed,
the motors thrust to close for 2 seconds thus
facilitating release of the electric lock.
= Active = Disabled
LEAF 2 OPENING DELAY (2 s):
Enables delayed start (at opening) of leaf 2,
avoiding interference between leaves.
= Active = Disabled
OPENING FAIL SAFE:
If this function is activated, it enables the
monitoring of the opening safety photocell
before the opening movement. If the test fails
the gate does not open.
= Active = Disabled
PRE-FLASHING (5 s):
Activates the flashing lamp for 5 seconds before
start of movement.
= Active = Disabled
ELECTRIC LOCK ON LEAF 2:
For using the electric lock on leaf 2 instead
of on leaf 1.
= Active = Disabled
INDICATOR-LIGHT:
: the output functions as a standard indicator-
light (ON at opening and pause, flashing at
closing, and OFF when gate is closed).
: the output is ON when the gate is open or
in pause. OFF in all other conditions.
the output is ON when the gate is closed.
OFF in all other conditions.
All other values correspond to the extra time
compared to normal work time (opening or
closing) when the output can be used - via a
relay - to power a courtesy light. Time can be
adjusted from to sec. in 1 sec. steps,
and from to min. in 10 sec. steps.
CLOSING PHOTOCELLS REVERSE AT RELEASE:
Enable this function if you want the closing
photocells to stop movement and reverse at
release. Default setting is immediate reverse.
= Active = Disabled
ASSISTANCE REQUEST (combined with next
function):
If activated, at the end of countdown (settable
with the next function i.e. “Cycle programming”)
it affects 8 s of pre-flashing at every Open
pulse (job request). Can be useful for setting
scheduled maintenance jobs.
= Active = Disabled
CYCLE PROGRAMMING:
For setting countdown of system operation
cycles. Settable (in thousands) from to
thousand cycles. The displayed value is updated
as cycles proceed.
This function can be used to check use of the
board or to exploit the “Assistance request”.
OPENING No. 2 FAIL SAFE:
When enabled the STOP input can be used
for the connection of a second monitored
opening safety device
= Active = Disabled
Exit from programming and return to inputs
status monitoring.
NOTE: Parameter modifications take effect immediately.
Exit out of programming to save changes. If the equipment
is powered down before returning to normal status monitor-
ing, any unsaved modifications will be lost.
To restore programming defaults, press and hold the
three buttons +, -, F simultaneously for 5 seconds.
EXTRA WORK TIME:
If reversing occurs, and if the leaf does not
reach its end contact point, you can activate
this function to increase work time.
= Active = Disabled

9. Start-up
LED Indicators:
The board has a two-digit display. When not in
“PROGRAMMING” mode, this display is used to indicate
the status of inputs. The figure below shows how the LED
segments are mapped to the corresponding the inputs.
The table below shows the status of the LEDs in relation to
the status of the inputs.
Note the following: LED ON = closed contact
LED OFF = open contact
Operation of the Status Signaling LEDs
The status of the LEDs while the gate is closed at rest are shown
in bold.
Rotation direction and force check:
1. Program the functions of the 455 D control board ac-
cording to need, as previously shown.
2. Turn power off to the control board.
3. Release the operators and manually move the gate
to the mid-point of the opening angle.
4. Re-lock the operators.
5. Restore power.
6. Send an opening command on the OPEN A input and
verify that the gate leaves start moving towards the
open position
Note: If the first OPEN A pulse starts a closing movement,
turn power off and reverse the phases of the electric
motor (red and black wires) on the 455 D control board.
7. Check force setting of the motors, modify if necessary.
Note: For hydraulic operators, like the 400, force should be
programmed to maximum level (50)
8. Stop leaf movement with a pulse on the STOP input or
turning off power.
9. Release the operators, close the leaves and re-lock
the operators.
Opening/closing time is established by a time learning pro-
cedure which can be accomplished in “simple” or “com-
plete” modes. The simple mode doesn’t allow a slow down
phase in the operator, while the complete mode does.
The slow down can be useful to reduce the mechanical
stress on the gate, but it can create problems in high wind
conditions.

WARNING:During the learning procedure, safety
devices are disabled! Avoid crossing the leaf
movement area when this operation is carried out.
Make sure travel limit mechanical stops are present.
10. Learning Operating Times
- SIMPLE LEARNING (Without Slow Down):
Check that the leaves are closed. Enter “BASIC
PROGRAMMING,” select the TIME LEARNING function and
then press the +push-button for 1 second. The display
begins flashing and the leaves begin to open.
As soon as the leaves reach the opening contact point,
provide an OPEN A pulse (with the key operated push-button
or with the radio control) to stop the movement. The leaves
stop and the display stops flashing.
Press push-button Fto exit and save the programming. The
procedure is complete and the gate is ready to operate.
- COMPLETE LEARNING (With Slow Down):
Check that the leaves are closed. Enter “BASIC
PROGRAMMING,” select the TIME LEARNING function and
then press the +push-button for more than 3 seconds.
The display begins flashing and leaf 1 begins to open. The
following functions can be performed by sending OPEN A
pulses (by key push-button or radio control).
A total of 8 OPEN A commands required:
1. Slow down at opening of leaf 1
2. Leaf 1 stops at opening and leaf 2 begins its opening
movement
3. Slow down at opening of leaf 2
4. Leaf 2 stops at opening and immediately begins its
closing movement
5. Slow down at closing of leaf 2
6. Leaf 2 stops at closing and leaf 1 begins its closing
movement
7. Slow down at closing of leaf 1
8. Leaf 1 stops at closing
When the display stops flashing, press push-button Fto exit
and save the programming. The procedure is complete
and the gate is ready to operate.
Notes:
• If you wish to eliminate deceleration in certain stages,
wait for the leaf to reach its stop-limit and supply 2
consecutive Open pulses (by 1 second).
• If only one leaf is present, the entire sequence must
nevertheless be completed. When the leaf has finished
opening, supply 5 Open pulses until the leaf begins to
close, and then resume normal operation.
11. Final Tests
Once programming is complete and the proper operating
times are stored in the board’s memory perform a
complete test the system. Verify that the operator(s)
run properly and, most importantly, check that force is
adequately adjusted and that safety devices are operating
correctly.
After simple or complete learning the board will add 3 sec.
to the programmed time so the operators will run against
the stops.
Monitored safety test:
IMPORTANT: To make sure that the safety photocells
protecting entrapment zones are monitored properly install
a temporary jumper on the N.C. output of the photocell
and give an OPEN A command. The gate must not move,
otherwise check the wiring of the photcells and make sure
that FAIl SAFE is enabled in Advanced Programming

AC Power Wiring Guidelines
1. Check local wiring codes in all cases and follow all
local building codes. Wiring and hookup should be
performed by qualified electricians/installers 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. Properly ground the gate 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.

Monitored safety connections
The prewired enclosure comes with dedicated terminal
blocks for the connection of safety photocells that can be
monitored by the control board for presence and correct
operation. One closing and one opening photocells can be
connected to the dedicated terminals.
1. Connect the trasnsmitter photocell(s) to the 24VDC TX
PHOTO terminals as shown on the drawing
2. Connect the receiver photocell(s) 24V power to the
24VDC RX PHOTO terminals as shown on the drawing
3. For applications that need only closing safeties connect
the N.C. outputs of the photocell to the PHOTO CL termi-
nals and connect a jumper to the PHOTO OP terminals
4. For applications that need closing and opening safeties
connect the N.C. outputs of the photocells to the PHOTO
CL and PHOTO OP terminals. Program the FS paramenter
in advance programming to Y
IMPORTANT: The operator requires the connection of the
closing safety photocell to work.

FAAC International, Inc. (“Seller”) warrants the first Purchaser
of the product to be free from defects in material and work-
manship for a specific period as defined by the Warranty
disclosure on the website www.faacusa.com. The Warranty
Period commences from the date of invoice.
Control Boards, Accessories or Spare Parts factory installed
or sold with any of the products above carry the same
warranty period as the product they are sold with, excluding
batteries that carry a maximum 2 year warranty.
Products repaired under warranty carry the remainder of
the original warranty period. For products repaired outside
of warranty, the Seller warrants that all parts used for the re-
pair will be free from defects in materials and workmanship
for a period of ninety (90) days.
Defective products must be returned to Seller, freight
prepaid by Purchaser, within the warranty period. A Return
Material Authorization Number (RMA) must be obtained
before product is returned. Items returned will be repaired
or replaced, at Seller’s option, upon an examination which
discloses to the satisfaction of the Seller that the item is
defective. The Seller will return the warranted item freight
prepaid.
This limited Warranty covers the product under the normal
use and service for which it was intended, provided it has
been properly installed and operated. Seller’s obligations
under this warranty shall be limited to the repair or ex-
change of any part. This warranty shall not apply to prod-
ucts or parts thereof which have been repaired or altered,
without Seller’s written consent, outside of Sellers’s workshop
or altered in any way so as, in the judgment of Seller, to
affect adversely the stability or reliability of the product(s)
or has been subject of misuse, negligence, or accident, or
has not been operated in accordance with the product’s
instructions or has been operated under conditions more
severe than, or otherwise exceeding, those set forth in the
specifications for such product(s).
When the warranty service involves the exchange of an
operator or part, the item the Seller replaces becomes its
property and the replacement becomes Purchaser’s prop-
erty. The Purchaser represents that all removed items are
genuine and unaltered. The replacement may not be new
but will be in good working order and at least functionally
equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement assumes
the warranty service status of the replaced item.
The products are not warranted to meet the specific re-
quirements, if any, of safety codes of any particular state,
municipality, or other jurisdiction, and the Seller doesn’t
assume any risk or liability whatsoever resulting from the use
thereof, whether used singly or in combination with other
machines or apparatus.
The Seller does not assume nor authorizes any person to as-
sume for them any other liability in connection with the sale
or use of the products of beyond that extended herein.
The warranty hereinabove set forth shall not be deemed
to cover maintenance parts, including, but not limited to
hydraulic oil, motor brushes, or the like. No agreement to
replace or repair shall constitute an admission by the Seller
of any legal responsibility to effect such replacement to
make such repair, or otherwise.
All products sold by the Seller are subject to design and/or
appearance modifications, which are production standards
at the time of shipment. The Seller may, but shall not be
required to, modify or update products shipped prior to a
current production standard.
THIS WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRAN-
TIES EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR USE. THIS WARRANTY
SHALL NOT APPLY TO PRODUCTS OR ANY PART THEREOF WHICH
HAVE BEEN SUBJECT TO ACCIDENT, NEGLIGENCE, ALTERATION,
ABUSE, OR MISUSE OR IF DAMAGE WAS DUE TO IMPROPER
INSTALLATION OR USE OF IMPROPER POWER SOURCE, OR IF
DAMAGE WAS CAUSED BY FIRE, FLOOD, LIGHTNING, ELECTRI-
CAL POWER SURGE, EXPLOSION, WIND STORM, HAIL, AIRCRAFT
OR VEHICLES, VANDALISM, RIOT OR CIVIL COMMOTION, OR
ACTS OF GOD.
The Seller shall not be liable for any loss or damage what-
soever resulting, directly or indirectly, from the use or loss
of use of the product(s). Without limiting the foregoing, this
exclusion from liability embraces a Purchaser’s expenses for
downtime or for making up downtime, lost profit, damages
for which the Purchaser may be liable to other persons,
damage to property, and injury to or death of any persons.
This limited warranty extends only to wholesale custom-
ers who buy directly through the Seller’s normal distribution
channels. The Seller does not warrant its products to end
consumers. Consumers must inquire from their selling dealer
as to the nature and extent of that dealer’s warranty, if any.
THE LIMITED WARRANTY OFFERED HEREIN IS THE SOLE AND
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AVAILABLE TO THE PURCHASER. CORREC-
TION OF DEFECTS, IN THE MANNER AND FOR THE PERIOD OF
TIME DESCRIBED HEREIN, SHALL CONSTITUTE THE COMPLETE
FULFILLMENT OF ALL LIABILITIES OF SELLER TO THE PURCHASER
WITH RESPECT TO THE COVERED PRODUCT, AND SHALL CON-
STITUTE FULL SATISFACTION OF ALL CLAIMS, WHETHER BASED
ON CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE.
IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF PROF-
ITS OR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL
OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF SELLER‘S BREACH OF
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, OR ARISING OUT OF THE CUSTOMER’S
INABILITY TO USE THE COVERED PRODUCT, EVEN IF SELLER HAS
BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of inci-
dental or consequential damages, so the above limitation
may not apply to a particular Purchaser. This Limited War-
ranty gives the Purchaser specific legal rights. The Purchaser
may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.
