AUTOMATION 390
These instructions apply to the following model:
FAAC 390
The 390 external automation with articulated arms automates
residential swing-leaf gates with leaves of up to 3m in length,
andisidealforapplicationsonlargepilasterswithouttheneed
to provide niches (sometimes required to observe the installa-
tion dimensions of piston driven devices).
It consists of an irreversible electro-mechanical operator with
guardandanarticulated-armactivationsystemtobefittedto
the gate with the appropriate accessories.
The irreversible system ensures the gate is mechanical locked
when the motor is not operating. No lock need be installed for
leaves up to 1.8 m in length.
A manual release makes it possible to move the gate in the
event of a power-cut or fault.
ÜTo obtain anti-crushing protection, you have to use electronic
appliances with a torque control electronic device.
The 390 automation was designed and manufactured to control
access of vehicles. Avoid any other use whatever.

4. INSTALLATION OF AUTOMATION
4.1. PRELIMINARY CHECKS
To ensure safety and an efficient automation, make sure the
following requirements are met:
• The gate structure must be suitable for automation. In
particular, make sure it is sufficiently sturdy and rigid, and
that its dimensions are in line with those indicated in the
technical specifications.
• Make sure that the leaves move properly and uniformly,
without any irregular friction during their entire travel.
• Check if hinges are in good condition.
• Make sure the travel limit mechanical stops are present.
Weadviseyoutocarryoutanymetalworkjobsbeforeinstalling
the automation.
4.2. INSTALLATION DIMENSIONS
Establish the installation position of the operator by consulting
Fig. 4-5-6.
Fig. 3
Notes:1) To lay electrical cables, use adequate rigid
and/or flexible tubes.
2) Always separate low voltage accessories from
thoseoperatingat230V~.Toavoid any interfer-
ence, always use separate sheaths.

•Secure the base-plate to the pilaster, using Ø10 screws and
suitable expansion plugs (Fig. 8), and check it is perfectly
horizontal.

•Fit the straight lever of the articulated arm on the gearmotor
shaft and tighten it with the supplied screw and washer (Fig.
10).
•Release the operator (chapter 5.)
•Establish the securing position of the front coupling on the
leaf, observing dimension “C” defined previously (chapter
4.2). Check that arm and coupling are perfectly horizontal.
•The coupling may be welded directly onto the leaf (Fig. 11)
or screwed by using the threaded inserts (Fig. 12).

In both cases, provisionally remove the coupling from the
arm in order to secure it.
7. MAINTENANCE
Do the following jobs at least every six months:
•Check if motor torque is correctly set.
•Check efficiency of the release system.
•Check efficiency of safety devices.
8. REPAIRS
For any repairs, contact our authorised Repair Centres.
Fig. 11 Fig. 12
•Fit the guards on the operator (Fig. 10).
•Re-lock the operator (chapter 6.)
Make the electrical connections of the selected electronic
appliance, observing the annexed instructions.
4.4. TEST OF THE AUTOMATION
Whenyouhavefinishedinstallation,carefullychecktheoperating
efficiency of the automation and of all accessories connected to
it, safety devices in particular.
Handthe“User’sGuide”pagetotheClient,anddescribehowthe
operator should function and be used correctly, stressing the
potentially dangerous areas of the automation.
5. MANUAL OPERATING MODE
If the gate has to be operated manually in the event of a
power-cut or fault to the automation, use the release device
as follows:
•Fit the supplied Allen wrench and turn it by about a half turn
until it stops, in the direction shown in Fig. 13, depending on
type of installation.
6. RESTORING NORMAL OPERATING MODE
To avoid an involuntary pulse from activating the gate during
the manoeuvre, before re-locking the operator , switch off
power to the system.
•Fit the supplied Allen wrench and turn it by about a half turn
until it stops, in the direction shown in Fig. 13, depending on
type of installation.

DESCRIPTION
These instructions apply to the following model:
FAAC 390
FAAC 390 automation for residential swing-leaf gates consists
ofanirreversibleelectro-mechanicaloperatorwithguardand
an articulated-arm activation system fitted to the gate with
the appropriate accessories.
Theirreversiblesystemensuresthegateismechanicallylocked
when the motor is not operating. No lock need be installed for
leaves up to 1.8 m in length.
A manual release makes it possible to move the gate in the
event of a power-cut or fault.
The operators are supervised by an electronic control unit,
housed in a container adequately protected against atmos-
pheric agents.
The leaves are normally in closed position.
When the electronic control unit receives an opening com-
mand by remote control or by any other pulse generator, it
activates the operator to rotate the leaves until they are
sufficiently open to provide access.
Ifautomaticoperatingmodewasset,theleaves closeontheir
own after the selected pause time has elapsed.
If semi-automatic operating mode was set, a second pulse
must be sent to allow the leaves to close again.
A stop pulse (if supplied) always stops movement.
For detail on operation of the automation under different
operational logics, consult the installation technician.
The automations include safety devices (photocells, sensitive
edges,…) which prevent the leaves from moving when there
is an obstacle in the area they protect.
The390automationrequires use of electronic appliances with
an electronic torque control device.
The light indicates that leaves are moving.
MANUAL OPERATING MODE
If the gate has to be operated manually in the event of a
power-cut or automation fault, use the release device as
follows:
••
••
•Fit the supplied Allen wrench and turn it by about a half turn
until it stops, in the direction shown in Fig. 1-2, depending on
type of installation.
RESTORING NORMAL OPERATING MODE
To avoid an involuntary pulse from activating the gate during
the manoeuvre, before re-locking the operator, switch off
power to the system.
••
••
•FitthesuppliedAllen wrench in the release device and turn it
by about a half turn until it stops, in the direction shown in Fig.
1-2, depending on type of installation.
