1. Install the gate operator only when the following condi-
tions have been met:
• The operator is appropriate for the type and usage
class of the gate.
• All openings of a horizontal slide gate have been
guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate to
a minimum of 4 feet (1.25 m) above the ground to
prevent a 2.25 inch (55 mm) diameter sphere from
passing through openings anywhere in the gate or
through that portion of the adjacent fence that the
gate covers when in the open position.
• All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded.
• Guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.
2. The operator is intended for installation on gates used by
vehicles only. Pedestrians must be provided with a sepa-
rate access opening.
3. To reduce the risk of entrapment when opening and
closing, the gate must be installed in a location that
allows adequate clearance between the gate and
adjacent structures. Swinging gates shall not open
outward into public access areas.
4. Before installing the gate operator, ensure that the gate
has been properly installed and that it swings freely in
both directions. Do not over-tighten the operator clutch
or pressure relief valve to compensate for a damaged
gate.
5. User controls must be installed at least 6 feet (1.83 m)
away from any moving part of the gate and located
where the user is prevented from reaching over, under,
around or through the gate to operate the controls.
Controls located outdoors or those that are easily acces-
sible shall have security features to prevent unauthorized
use.
6. The Stop and/or Reset buttons must be located within
line-of-sight of the gate. Activation of the reset control
shall not cause the operator to start.
Important Installation Instructions
• WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR
DEATH:
• READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
• Never let children operate or play with the gate con-
trols. Keep remote controls away from children.
• Always keep people and objects away from the gate.
NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF A MOVING GATE.
• Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse
on contact with a rigid object or when an object
activates a non-contact sensor. If necessary, adjust
the force or the limit of travel and then retest the gate
operator. Failure to properly adjust and retest the gate
operator can increase the risk of injury or death.
• Use the manual release mechanism only when the
gate is not moving.
• KEEP GATE PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Have a qualified
service person make repairs to gate hardware.
• The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use
a separate entrance.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Important Safety Instructions
Gate Construction
Vehicular gates should be constructed and installed in
accordance with ASTM F2200: Standard Specification for
Automated Vehicular Gate Construction.
For more information, contact ASTM at: www.astm.org

the reliability and safety of the gate operator.
• Only qualified personnel should install this equipment.
Failure to meet this requirement could cause severe
injury and/or death, for which the manufacturer cannot
be held responsible.
• The installer must provide a main power switch that
meets all applicable safety regulations.
• It is extremely unsafe to compensate for a damaged
gate by increasing hydraulic pressure.
General Safety Precautions
7. All warning signs and placards must be installed and easily
seen within visible proximity of the gate. A minimum of one
warning sign shall be installed on each side of the gate.
8. For gate operators that utilize a non-contact sensor (photo
beam or the like):
• See instructions on the placement of non-contact
sensors for each type of application.
• Exercise care to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping,
such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate is
still moving.
• Locate one or more non-contact sensors where the
risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as at the
reachable perimeter of a moving gate or barrier.
• Use only FAAC “Photobeam” photoelectric eyes to
comply with UL325.
9. For gate operators that utilize a contact sensor (edge
sensor or similar):
• Locate one or more contact sensors where the risk of
entrapment or obstruction exists, such as at the leading
edge, trailing edge, and post mounted both inside and
outside of a vehicular horizontal slide gate
• Locate one or more contact sensors at the bottom
edge of a vehicular vertical lift gate.
• Locate one or more contact sensors at the bottom
edge of a vertical barrier (arm).
• Locate one or more contact sensors at the pinch point
of a vehicular vertical pivot gate.
• Locate hard-wired contact sensors and wiring so that
communication between sensor and gate operator is
not subjected to mechanical damage.
• Locate wireless contact sensors, such as those that
transmit radio frequency (RF) signals, where the
transmission of signals are not obstructed or impeded
by building structures, natural landscaping or similar
hindrances. Wireless contact sensors shall function under
their intended end-use conditions.
• Use only FAAC MSE MO, CN60 or M60 edge sensors.

1 DESCRIPTION AND TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The FAAC Model 400 Swing Gate Operator consists of an
electric pump and a hydraulic piston which transmits drive
to the gate leaf.
Models with hydraulic locking do not require the installation
of electric locks, as they provide mechanical locking of the
leaf when the motor is not operating.
Models without hydraulic locking require the installation of
electric locks to ensure that the leaf is mechanically locked.
FAAC 400 Operators were designed and built to automate
swing leaf gates. Do not use for any other purpose.

2.3 GENERAL RULES
If the dimensions indicated in table A or B cannot be
achieved, the following must be considered in order to
calculate different measurements:
• To obtain 90° opening of the leaf: a + b = c.
• To obtain over 90° opening of the leaf: a + b < c.
• Lower a and b dimensions will result in higher speeds.
• Limit the difference between a and b to within 1.5 inches.
Higher differences will considerably vary gate opening
and closing speed.
• The minimum Z dimension is 2 inches (Fig. 4);
• If the pillar dimensions or the position of the hinge
(dimension d) do not make it possible to keep dimension
aat the required size, a niche must be made in the pillar
as shown in Fig. 5.
• Dimension amust always be larger than dimension E.
For installations that open outward, refer to Section 6.
Figure 4

2.1 PRELIMINARY CHECKS
To ensure a correctly operating automated system, the
structure of the gate must satisfy the following requirements:
• Leaf length should not exceed “Max Leaf Length”
dimensions in Table 1.
• The gate should have a strong and rigid leaf structure.
• The gate leaves should have a smooth, uniform mo-
vement during the entire length of travel without any
irregular friction.
• Existing hinges should be in good condition.
• Travel limit mechanical stops must be provided.
• The condition of the structure directly influences the
reliability and safety of the automated system.
• The gate must swing level
2.4 INSTALLING THE OPERATOR
Attention: To avoid compromising operator functionality, use
measurements and dimensions indicated.
1.) Fasten the rear attachment to a pillar or column
support. Follow the measurements indicated in Tables
A / B. If necessary, modify the length of the supplied
attachment.
• For iron pillars, weld the rear attachment (Fig. 6,
Ref. 2) directly to the pillars.
• For masonry pillars, select one of the following
solutions:
A.) Install an appropriate wall plate and then
accurately weld the rear attachment.
OR
B.) Use screws and expansion plugs to secure the
rear attachment plate (Fig. 6, Ref. a) to the pillar.
Then weld the rear attachment to the plate as
shown in Figure 6.

7 POSITIVE STOP ACCESSORY
In case the gate doesn’t have built in mechanical stops, it
is possible to install, directly on the operator, an accessory
to limit the rod’s travel in both directions.
(P/N: 490109 STANDARD, 490043 EG)
The accessory is mounted on the front flange of the
operator using the supplied bolts.
With the use of the proper square shaped swivel joint (sup-
plied):
It’s possible to limit the rod’s travel and create two solid
mechanical stop positions.
NOTE: The positive stops has 4 rods, 2 are shown for illustra-
tion purpose only.
For additional details please refer to the instructions included
with the positive stop accessory.

8.1 OIL LEVEL CHECK
Make sure the operator is perfectly level, powered off and
that the piston is fully retracted (gate in the open position).
• Unlock the manual release cover and hinge it open
• Remove the red knob after removing the screw (Figure 18)
• The remove the 3 T20 security screws that are below the
red knob (Figure 18)
• Grab the manual release from both ends and gently rock
it while pulling up.
• Make sure to remove the o-ring that fits between the
manual release and the body of the operator
• Set the parts on a clean towel/location
• Next remove the 3 extensions grabbing them with plyers
and pulling straight up (Figure 19)
• Now rotate the collar (silver in color) clockwise by hand
and then lift straight up (Figure 20). It’s very important to
not use tools or pry on this piece
• Now look into the body of the machine and to the left,
the fluid should be up to the center of the tie rod (top for
400 standard or center for 400 EG when the piston is fully
retracted)
• The fluid should be 5/16” to 3/8” from the top of the valve
body as shown in Figure 21
• If the unit is low pour fluid in here until it reaches the target
level. If you overfill the unit it will come out the breather
hole in the rear flange.
• USE ONLY FAAC HP OIL
• Re-assembly the parts in reverse order making sure the
o-rings and surfaces are clear of debri
8 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS

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: 6.
The 455 D control board should be installed in an enclosure
that is conveniently 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.
NB: 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 this 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. To comply with this
requirement the photeocells must be wired as shown:

ADVANCED PROGRAMMING
FAIL SAFE:
If this function is activated, it enables a
function test of the photocells before any
gate movement. If the test fails (photocells
not serviceable), the gate does not start the
movement.
= Active = Disabled
Display Function Default
Once the photocells are wired the Fail Safe mode of the
455D control board must be enabled. To enable it enter
in advanced programming by pressing and holding “F”
and then press “+”, scroll to the “FS” parameter and select
“Active”.
For more details please refer to the advanced programming
pararagraph.
Only one monitored photocell can be connected to the
Closing or Opening safety inputs. More than one photocell
or other device can be connected to the safety inputs, but
they will not be monitored.
Other devices connected to the safety inputs must have
normally closed contacts and wired in series with the main
monitored sensor.
See the following example of one closing safety monitored
photocell and one non monitored one.

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
• A (automatic): The gate opens on command and
automatically closes after a pause phase. 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.
• 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.
• 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.
