The 950 BM is an electro-mechanical automated system for swing-leaf
doors with direct current motor and return spring. It has an integrated
microprocessorcontrolunitwithself-diagnosisandcontinuousveri-
cation of all door functions and an anti-crushing safety device active
for both opening and closing.
The activation arms is in stainless steel, and it can be pushing or sliding .
The 950 BM is able to do a self-learning procedure of the open and
close positions and automatically measures the door weight for optimal
operation. An optional “closing stroke” function ensures that the door
stays closed even under strong wind. It also has an optional “push
and go” function and in case of power failure the door can be opened
manually then closed with the help of the spring
1. DESCRIPTION AND TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
1.1. APPLICATION LIMITS
Important: To ensure correct application of the FAAC 950 BM unit the
weight of the door must not exceed the value given in Table 3 referred
to its length. The maximum length of the leaf is 55”.
The values of maximum weight vary according to the driving arm used.
For each driving arm there is also a different maximum value for the

5.4. PROGRAMMING THE MICROSWITCHES (g.9)
The 950BM has two series of microswitches, one on the 950MPS board
and one on the 950 I/O board.
The system is supplied with all the microswitches in the OFF position.
5.4.3. MICROSWITCH No. 3 - SELECTOR FUNCTION
This function allows the operating function to be selected with the
selector switch in the “2” position.
OFF = MANUAL Function
ON = NIGHT Function
5.4.4. MICROSWITCH No. 4 - PUSH AND GO
When activated, this function enables the opening command to be
givenbypushingthecloseddoormanually.Itissufcienttogivethe
door an initial push/pull in the opening direction.
OFF = Function DISABLED
ON = Function ENABLED
WARNING: It is advisable not to enable this function if the door is
subject to strong wind, according to its structure and dimensions, as this
could activate the system’s spontaneous opening or motion reversing.
5.4.5 . MICROSWITCHES Nos. 5/6//9 - INACTIVE
5.4.6. MICROSWITCH No. 7 - STOP SAFETY DEVICE
It makes it possible to detect activation of the STOP safety device
during the entire door travel (COMPLETE) or to disable detection
beyond 70° opening (REDUCED).
OFF = COMPLETE Function
ON = REDUCED Function
WhentheSTOPsafetycontrolisensuredbyanactivesensortted
on the leaf, if you enable the REDUCED function, the detection of any
obstacle (e.g. side wall) is prevented which would cause interruption
of the work cycle.
5.4.6. MICROSWITCH No. 8 - SCP Function
SCP Function (Selectable Close Power)
If the SCP function is enabled, the door can be closed even if
there is friction due to rigid seals or electric locks with a particularly
difcultconnection.WhentheSCPfunctionisoperating,theelectronic
anti-crush facility is still active, but is less sensitive. For reasons of safety,
we therefore advise you to use the function only in case of real need.
OFF = Function DISABLED
ON = Function ENABLED
6. 950 I/O ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT LAYOUT
5.4.1. MICROSWITCH No. 1 - CLOSING STROKE
This function enables the closed position force to be increased by
further loading the transmission system after the door has reached
the mechanical closure stop.
It is advisable to use this function to assist activation of the electric lock.
OFF = Function DISABLED
ON = Function ENABLED
5.4.2. MICROSWITCH No. 2 - SET-UP PROCESS

The output is suitable for commanding a magnetic closure system.
If no power is supplied, the electric lock is not active. In the NIGHT
function the electric lock is powered and hence active. In the event
of an opening command (internal command or EMERGENCY
OPENING), the power supply to the electric lock is temporarily
cut off to allow the door to be opened.

9. ADJUSTING THE SPRING
9.1. SPRING PRELOADING
If the door movement is not uniform (e.g.: door not closing comple-
tely or closing with too much force) proceed as follows to adjust the
spring preloading:
1) Cut power to the automated system and release from the door
thearmsecureddirectlyonthetransmissionshaft;
2) Rotatethearmuntilthestop-pointscrew(g.21ref.4)isinline
withtheinspectionslot(g.21ref.3);
3) Removethescrew,whilekeepingthearminposition;
4) To increase preloading: rotate the arm in opening direction until
thenextxingpositionofthestop-pointscrew(g.21ref.5)isin
linewiththeinspectionslotandxthescrewagain.
To reduce preloading: rotate the arm in closing direction until
thenextxingpositionofthestop-pointscrew(g.21ref.5)isin
linewiththeinspectionslotandxthescrewagain.
5) Reinstallthearmcorrectly(seepar.3.3.);
6) Run a new SETUP cycle.
9.2. CHECKING SPRING EFFICIENCY
Weadviseyoutoperiodicallychecktheefciencyofthespring-
this is the procedure:
1) SelecttheManualfunction;
2) Removetheprotectivedeviceofthedrivesystem(seeg.1ref.

10. KP-CONTROLLER PROGRAMMING UNIT
The KP-Controller is used for selecting operational functions, as
well as adjusting and programming the 950 Series automatic doors.
Itisdividedintotwoparts:axedpartusedforsignallingof
operational functions by means of pushbuttons and relevant
signalling LEDs (Fig. 23 ref.A), and a removable part with LCD
display and selection buttons to access complete programming
(Fig. 23 ref.B).
The KP-Controller display can be used as a temporary
programming unit if the parameter “Keep settings” in the
ADVANCED MENU is set to ON: after all programming and
adjustments have been carried out, KP-Controller can be fully
removed because the settings remain stored on the 950MPS
control board.
If KP-Controller is installed without display, a cover is provided (Fig.
23 ref.C).
KP-Controller can be disabled by a combination of keys (see the
special LOCK function) or by internally installing a jumper that acts
as a switch (Fig. 24 ref. LOCK).
10.1. MOUNTING
RefertoFig.24foranexplodedviewofmounting;twoknockout
areas marked A and B are provided for entry of connection cable.
10.2 . CONNECTIONS
Connect the KP-Controller to the 950 I/O control board by a
2x0.5mm² max 50m cable (Fig. 24).
If the two LOCK terminals are connected to each other as shown in
Fig.24, all keys on the programmer are disabled.
10.3 . DIAGNOSTICS
The KP-Controller (also without display) has a diagnostic function
which, in case of an alarm, interrupts the normal display of the fun-
ction every 2 seconds in order to show the fault status for 1 second
byacombinationofashingLEDs.
Consult Fig. 25 and table 9 to identify the type of alarm according
totheashingLEDs.Intheeventofseveralsimultaneousfaults,
thecodeoffaultdetectedrstisdisplayed.
