AUTOMATIC DOOR A140 AIR H100 - H140
1 DESCRIPTION
The FAAC series A140 AIR systems automatically activate,
manage and control the operation of single-leaf or two-leaf
sliding doors.
The FAAC series A140 AIR automated systems are supplied
completely assembled, wired and tested in the configuration
requested by the customer, using the appropriate order form, or
in kits to be assembled by the installation technician.
An automation cross beam (fig.1) consists of the following
parts:
Support profile (fig.1 ref.)
This is the profile used when the cross beam can be completely
secured to a load bearing structure.
Motor unit (fig. 1 ref.)
The 24= motor has an encoder and a leaf locking system
(accessory).
The Electronics Module includes:
Control unit (fig. 1 ref. )
When powered, the control unit with microprocessor, initialises
the door’s operational parameters.
Power feed unit (fig. 1 ref. )
The power feed unit, directly connected to the control unit,
supplies the voltage values required to correctly power the
automated system.
Leaf support carriages (fig.1 ref.)
The carriages have two wheels with ball bearings, one counter
thrust wheel in the top part, and a screw based system for
adjusting the height of the leaves.
Drive belt (fig. 1 ref. )
Transmission pulley unit (fig. 1 ref. )
1.1 ACCESSORIES SUPPLIED WITH THE CROSS BEAM
These parts are assembled on the cross beam.
Closing housings (fig. 1 ref. )
This is the aluminium profile enabling closure of the automated
system. The side panels (fig.1 ref.) completely close the
system.
Motor lock unit (fig. 1 ref. )
The motor lock unit guarantees mechanical locking of the door
while the leaves are closed. The motor lock unit can be used for
single and double leaves.
The motor lock unit is supplied with the internal release device
(Fig.1 ref.) used for emergency opening if needed. It is also
designed for installation of the external release (optional) if
required. The motor lock unit acts directly on the motor, locking
it mechanically.
Supervision of motor lock
It controls if the motor lock unit is operating correctly and verifies
if the door is actually closed. If necessary, the system is designed
for remotely activating an indicator light or buzzer/siren.
Emergency battery (fig. 1 ref. )
In the event of a mains power cut, the battery kit enables the
automated system to operate until its charge is exhausted. The
battery condition test is performed continuously by the control
unit.

A. ASSEMBLY OF IN-KIT AUTOMATED SYSTEMS
1A PREPARING THE SUPPORT PROFILE
Support profiles are available in two sizes:
4300 mm or 6100 mm.
Cut the support profile to measure using the following formula:
LT = Vp x 2 + 100
Where:
• Lt is the length of the support profile
• VP is the transit space
• 100 are the overlap millimeters between the leaves (50 + 50)
This section describes the assembly of the in-kit automated systems. After you have prepared the necessary profiles, we advise you
to assemble and install at the same time.
Automation free-standing refer to Chapter 21
fig. 10
1.1A SUPPORT PROFILE - SECURING ON WALL
Define the exact height position of the support profile, considering
the dimensions of fig. 4 and fig. 6; for doors with glass leaves,
refer to fig.5.
The cross beam must be fastened parallel to the
floor.
Initially fix the support profile on a vertical slot at one end, and
on a horizontal slot at the other end (using M8 screws and
appropriate expansion plugs which are not supplied) and level
parallel to the floor. Fasten centrally, lifting the support profile with
force to align the three securing points. Carry out the remaining
fastenings.fig.11

length, and secure it with adequate screws on the upper
part (fig. 17).
2. Place two carriages on each leaf making use of the supplied
plates and screws; then mount the leaf and carriage unit on
the sliding profile, as shown in fig. 18   .
3. Secure the carriages on the leaf, using the dimensions in
figure 9 for the double leaf, and fig. 7-8 for the single leaf.
Tighten the carriage securing screws.
4. Cut the lower guide profile to the same length as the leaf
and secure with adequate screws on the lower part.
5. If specified, insert the brush in the seat of the sliding profile

4A ADJUSTING THE LEAVES
When you have prepared the leaves, install them on the support
profile.
The carriages have two sliding wheels (Fig.28 ref. ) and a
counter-thrust wheel (Fig.28 ref. )
Two slots are provided on the base of the carriages. These slots
enable leaf depth adjustment (Fig.28 ref. )

3A INSTALLING THE LOWER SLIDING BLOCKS
The lower sliding blocks are designed for securing to a wall (or
fixed leaf) or to the floor.
Assemble the sliding blocks, referring to the dimensions in figures
24 and 25.
On-wall securing (or on fixed leaf):
• Secure the sliding blocks as shown in Fig. 26 ref., using
adequate screws.
Securing on the floor
• Directly secure the sliding block to the floor, as shown in Fig. 26
