In Europe, the automation of a gate falls under the Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC and the corresponding harmonised standards. Anyone
automating a gate (new or existing) is classified as the Manufacturer
of the Machine. They are therefore required by law, among other
things, to carry out a risk analysis of the machine (automatic gate in
its entirety) and take protective measures to fulfil the essential safety
requirements specified in Annex I of the Machinery Directive.
FAAC S.p.A. recommends that you always comply with the EN 12453
standard and in particular that you adopt the safety criteria and de-
vices indicated, without exception, including the dead-man function.
This manual also contains general information and guidelines, which
are purely illustrative and not exhaustive, in order to facilitate the ac-
tivities carried out by the Manufacturer of the Machine in all respects
with regard to carrying out the risk analysis and drafting the instruc-
tions for use and maintenance of the machine. It should be clearly
understood that FAAC S.p.A. accepts no liability for the reliability and/
or completeness of the above instructions. As such, the manufacturer
of the machine must carry out all the activities required by the Machi-
nery Directive and the corresponding harmonised standards on the
basis of the actual condition of the locations and structures where the
product 746 E R will be installed, prior to commissioning the machine.
These activities include the analysis of all the risks associated with
the machine and subsequent implementation of all safety measures
intended to fulfil the essential safety requirements.
This manual contains references to European standards. The au-
tomation of a gate must fully comply with any laws, standards and
regulations applicable in the country where installation will take place.
 Unless otherwise specified, the measurements provided in the instructions
are in mm.

3.3 UNAUTHORISED USE3.1 INTENDED USE
FAAC746 E R series gearmotors are designed to operate horizontal
sliding gates for residential buildings / apartment complexes.
Only one gearmotor must be installed for each leaf. The system
requires a special foundation plate, supplied separately, which is
embedded in a plinth. The gate must be moved via a rack.
The 746 E R is intended for installation on gates in areas that are ac-
cessible by people, the main purpose of which is to provide access
for goods, vehicles and people.
To move the gate manually, follow the instructions in section §Manual
operation.
! Any other use that is not expressly specified in these instructions is prohibited
and could affect the integrity of the product and/or represent a source of
danger.
3.2 LIMITATIONS OF USE
The maximum force required to move the leaf by hand over its entire
length of travel must be 225 N for residential areas and 260 N for
industrial or commercial areas.
The maximum force required to start the movement must be less
than the maximum torque at initial thrust of the operator indicated
in the technical data.
The leaf must fall within the dimensional and weight limits indicated
in the technical data.
The presence of weather conditions such as snow, ice and strong wind,
even occasional, could affect the correct operation of the automation,
the integrity of the components and be a potential source of danger
(see § Emergency use).
746 E R is not designed to be a security (break-in protection) system.
If there is a pedestrian access gate integrated in the leaf of the gate,
the motorised movement must be disabled when the pedestrian gate
is not in a safe position.
The installation must be visible during the day and at night. If it is
not, appropriate solutions must be provided to make the fixed and
moving parts visible.
Implementing the automation requires the installation of the neces-
sary safety devices, identified by the installer through an appropriate
risk assessment of the installation site.
In emergencies or if there is a fault, turn off the power supply to the
automation. If the leaf can be moved safely by hand, use the MANUAL
OPERATION mode; otherwise place the automation out of service until
it has been reset/repaired.
In the case of a breakdown, the automation must be reset/repaired
exclusively by the installer/maintenance technician.

4. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
4.2 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
4.1 MECHANICAL REQUIREMENTS
F Always shut off the power supply before performing any work. If the
disconnect switch is not in view, apply a warning sign stating “WARNING -
Maintenance in Progress”.
! The electrical system must comply with applicable legislation in the country
of installation.
Usecomponents and materialswith CE marking which arecompliantwith the
LowVoltage Directive 2014/35/EU and EMC Directive 2014/30/EU.
Thepowersupply line forthe automation must be fitted with a multi-pole cir-
cuit breaker, with a suitable tripping threshold, a contact opening distance of
at least 3 mm and a breaking capacity that complies with current regulations.
The power supply for the automation must be fitted with a 30 mA differential
switch.
The metal parts of the structure must be earthed.
Check that the protective earthing system complies with applicable regula-
tions in the country of installation.
The electrical cables of the automation system must be ofa size and insulation
class that is compliant with current legislation and laid in appropriate rigid
or flexible conduits, either above or below ground.
Use separate conduits for the power supply and the 12-24 V control devices
/ accessories cables.
Check buried cable plans to ensure that there are no other electrical cables
in proximity to the planned digging/drilling locations to prevent the risk of
electrocution.
Check that there are no pipes in the vicinity as well.
The conduit fittings and the cable glands must prevent the entry of moisture,
insects and small animals.
Protect extension connections using junction boxes with an IP 67 protection
rating or higher.
It is recommended to install a flashing light in a visible position to indicate
when it is moving.
For the creation of detection loops, refer to the relative instructions.
The control accessories must be positioned in areas that are always accessible
and not dangerous for the user. It is recommended to position the control
accessories within the field of view of the automation. This is mandatory in
the case of hold-to-run controls.
Ifan emergency stop buttonhas been installed,it must beEN13850compliant.
Comply with the following heights from the ground:
- control accessories = minimum 150 cm
- emergency buttons = maximum 120 cm
If the manual controls are intended to be used by disabled or infirm persons,
highlight them with suitable pictograms and make sure that these users are
able to access them.
The mechanical structural components must comply with the require-
ments of EN 12604. Before installing the automation, the suitability
of the mechanical requirements must be established and any work
that is necessary in order to meet them carried out.
The essential mechanical requirements are as follows:
! Solid ground to support the weight of the gate, the structures present and
the gearmotor. Flat, horizontal paving in the area of movement of the
leaf. Theremustbe no chanceof wateraccumulatingin theinstallation area.
The structure (columns, guides, mechanical stops, leaf and counterweights)
must be solid andthere mustbe no risk of detachment or collapse (considering
the weight of the leaf and the forces applied by the gearmotor and wind
action). Perform structural calculations where necessary.
The structure must show no signs of corrosion or cracking.
The leaf must remain vertical throughout the entire length of travel, with a
regular,smooth and uniform movement. The path along which theleaf slides
must be perfectly horizontal (the leaf must not have a tendency to open or
close spontaneously when it is released).
Appropriate devices must be installed to prevent the leaf from falling.
There should be a solid surface on the leaf sufficiently large to attach the
rack to.
The sliding guides must be in good condition; they must be straight and not
deformed, they must be fastened securely and there must be no obstacles
along their entire length. The diameter of the guide wheels must be
appropriate for the weight and length of the leaf and their profile section
must coincide with that of the sliding guide. The number and position of
the wheels must ensure an adequate and constant distribution of the weight.
A solid guide system for the suspended leaf in the case of a cantilever gate.
Presence of upper containing guide to prevent vertical oscillation of the
leaf. The leaf must not under any circumstances come out from its guides
and fall. Wheels, rollers and bearings in good condition, lubricated and
free from play or friction.
Presence of external mechanical limit stops to limit the travel of the leaf
when opening and closing. The stops must be suitably sized and solidly
fastened so that they resist any impact of the leaf in the event of improper
use (leaf pushed and left to slide freely). The mechanical limit stops must
be positioned at 50 mm beyond the stop position of the leaf, and must ensure
that the leaf remains inside its sliding guides.
The thresholds and protrusions of the paving must be appropriately shaped
in order to prevent the risk of sliding or slipping.
For the creation of detection loops, refer to the specific instructions.
Presence of a safety area between the wall (or other fixed element) and the
furthest protruding part of the open leaf, to protect against the risk of persons
becoming trapped/crushed. Alternatively, check that the opening force
required falls within the maximum permissible limits according to applicable
standards and legislation.
Presence of safety areas between the fixed and moving parts, to protect
against the risk of hands being trapped. Alternatively, apply protective
elements that prevent fingers from being introduced.
Presence of a safety area between thepaving and lower edge of the leaf, along
its entire path, providing protection from the risk of feet becoming caught in
and crushed beneath the wheels. Alternatively, apply protective elements
preventing the introduction of feet.
No sharp edges or protruding parts should be present to ensure there are no
cutting, hooking or perforation hazards. Alternatively, eliminate or protect
any sharp edges and protruding parts.
No slots or openings should be present on the sliding leaf or the fencing to
prevent the creation of a shearing hazard. Alternatively, apply protective
mesh to any such openings. The mesh should be sufficiently fine to prevent
introduction of body parts requiring protection, in relation to the distance
between the fixed and moving parts.
For the minimum dimensions to prevent crushing/shearing of body parts,
refer to EN 349. For the safety distances required to prevent danger zones
being reached, refer to ISO 13857.
If the area of installation gives rise to the risk of impact by vehicles, provide
an appropriate protective structure to protect the gearmotor.
