These instructions apply to the following models:
820 EMC Z20 CR - 820 EMC - 820 EMC RF - 860 MC Z16 - 860
MC - 860 MC RF - 860 EMC Z16 - 860 EMC
The FAAC model 820 and 860 automations for sliding gates
are electromechanical operators which transmit movement
to the leaf by means of a pinion with rack or chain coupled
in an appropriate manner to the sliding gate.
The system is guaranteed to be mechanically locked
when the motor is not in operation so a lock does not need
to be installed. The gear motors have mechanical/
electronicclutcheswhichprovidethenecessary adjustable
anti-crushing safety. A convenient manual release device
allows the gate to be operated in the event of a power
failure or malfunction. An electronic device allows the
open/closed limit switches to be programmed by a simple
operation without the need to weld limit switch plates. The
electronic control unit is incorporated in the gear motors.
The automations 820 - 860 & 826 MPS have been designed
and built for vehicle access control. Do not use for any
other purpose.

1.1. MAXIMUM UTILISATION CURVE
The curve allows the maximum working time (T) to be
obtained as a function of duty cycle (F).
For example, the 820-860 gear motors can operate
uninterruptedly at a duty cycle of 30%.
To ensure good operation, keep to the field of operation
lying below the curve.
Important: The curve refers to a temperature of 24°C.
Exposure to direct sunlight can result in a reduction in duty
cycle to as low as 20%.
Calculating duty cycle
The duty cycle is the percentage of effective working time
(opening + closing) with respect to the total cycle time
(opening + closing + pause times).
It is calculated using the following formula:
Ta + Tc
%F = X 100
Ta + Tc + Tp + Ti
where:
Ta = opening time
Tc = closing time
Tp = pause time
Ti =
interval between one complete cycle and the next.

4. INSTALLING THE AUTOMATION
4.1. PRELIMINARY CHECKS
For safe, correct operation of the automation, make sure
that the following requirements are met:
• The gate’s structure must be suitable for automation.
Take special care to ensure that the wheels are large
enough to support the full weight of the gate, that a
top runner is installed and that mechanical limit stops
are fitted to prevent the gate from coming off the
runner.
• The characteristics of the ground must ensure sufficient
support for the foundation plinth.
• There must be no pipes or electrical cables in the area
to be dug for installing the foundation plinth.
• If the gear motor is located in a vehicle transit area, it
is a good idea to provide protection against accidental
collisions.
• Check that the gear motor has an efficient earth
connection.
4.2. INSTALLING THE BASE PLATE
1) The base plate must be positioned as shown in Fig. 4
(right-handed closure) or Fig. 5 (left-handed closure) to
ensure that the pinion and rack mesh correctly.
N.B.: It is advisable to install the base plate on a concrete
base raised about 50 mm from the ground (Fig. 7).
2) Assemble the foundation plate as shown in Fig. 6.
3) Prepare a foundation plinth as shown in Fig. 8 and install
the base plate providing one or more conduits for
electrical cables. Use a level to check that the plate is
perfectly horizontal and wait for the cement to set.
4) Set up the electrical cables for connection to the
accessories and the electricity supply as described in
section 2. For ease of connection, ensure that the
cables protrude by about 45 cm from the hole in the
base plate.

5.2. DESCRIPTION OF TERMINAL BLOCK
5.2.1. OPEN (terminals 1-2)
This means any control device with a N.O. contact which
causes the gate to open when activated. In automatic
and semiautomatic logics it is active for both opening and
closure.
5.2.2. A/C (terminals 1-3)
This means any control device with a N.O. contact which
causes partial opening of the gate when activated in E1,
E2, A1, A2, S1 and S2 logics. In B and C logics it causes the
gate to close.
5.2.3. STOP (terminals 1-4)
This means a control device with a N.C. contact which
causes the gate status (opening-pause-closure) to be
interrupted until the next impulse is sent.
N.B.: If stop devices are not connected, jumper terminals 1-4.
5.2.4. SAFETY FX (terminals 5 - 6)
This means all devices (photocells, safety edges, magnetic
loops) with a N.C. contact which stop the movement of
the gate when an obstacle is present in the area protected
by the safety devices.
N.B.: If stop devices are not connected, jumper terminals 5-6.
5.2.5. + - LOW VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLY (terminals 6 - 7)
These are the 24 Vdc terminals to which the accessories
must be connected.
Proceed as shown in Table 3 in order not to exceed the
maximum permitted load.
5.2.6. LAMP (terminals 8 - 9 - 10)
These are the 24 Vac terminals to which the warning lamp

causes the gate to stop closing, then to start opening again
when the safety devices are released.
5.2.10. ELECTRONIC SAFETY DEVICE
(models 820 EMC - 860 EMC only)
The operator is equipped with a system which cuts in when
it senses a 20% reduction in pinion speed. The device inverts
the closing movement and inhibits opening movement.
When this safety device cuts in, LED S goes out for a few
seconds. Automatic re-closure is inhibited if the electronic
anti-crushing safety has cut in.

5.5. PROGRAMMING LIMIT SWITCHES
IMPORTANT: CHECK THE LENGTH OF THE GATE. THE
OPERATOR HAS A LIMIT SWITCH SYSTEM WHICH ALLOWS
FOR AUTOMATION OF GATES WITH A MAXIMUM LENGTH OF
13 m FOR MODELS 820 (Z 20 PINION) AND 10 m FOR
MODELS 860 (Z 16 PINION).
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE RECOMMENDATIONS WILL
ADVERSELY AFFECT OPERATION OF THE ADL LIMIT SWITCH.
1) To facilitate installation, it is advisable to program the
control unit in E1 logic (semi-automatic) by positioning
the relative dipswitches as follows:

11)Send an open impulse and check that the gate opens,
performs a brief deceleration, then stops at the
programmed open position limit switch.
12)Send another impulse and check that the gate closes.
13)To modify limit switch settings, repeat the sequence of
operations from point 3) to point 12).
IMPORTANT: If the LED starts flashing quickly (0.25 s) during
the limit switch setting operations, follow the instructions
given in the ALARM CONDITIONS section.
N.B.: Any interruption in the power supply will not affect
memorisation of the limit switch positions.
If during a manual operation the gate is moved beyond
the memorised limit switch positions, a series of open
impulses must be sent to move the gear motor to the zone
of normal operation.

8. MAINTENANCE
When performing maintenance always check that the
anti-crushing clutch is correctly regulated and that the
safety devices operate correctly.
8.1. TOPPING UP WITH OIL
Check the quantity of oil in the operator periodically.
For medium-low duty cycles an annual check is sufficient;
for more intense use it is advisable to check every 6
months.
The level must not fall below the reference notch on the
dipstick attached to the oil filler cap (Fig. 31).
To top up, unscrew the filler cap (Fig. 31) and pour in oil up
to the correct level. Use exclusively FAAC XD 220 oil.
9. REPAIRS
For repairs contact an authorised FAAC Repair Centre.
10. ACCESSORIES AVAILABLE
10.1 CORD-OPERATED MANUAL RELEASE
If the gear motor is installed in an inconvenient position, it
is advisable to use the accessory shown in Fig. 32 to
perform the release operation. Pulling on cord A releases
the system, whereas pulling on cord B relocks the gear
motor.
Important: When the automation is reset, move the gate
until the release device engages before sending a control
impulse.
5.6. OPERATION OF ADL LIMIT SWITCH
The ADL limit switch detects the number of pinion rotations
by means of a toothed belt transmission.
The operator is supplied with the drive in idle and the ADL
system positioned in the mid-travel position. Removing the
safety tab engages the transmission.
IMPORTANT: If the tab has already been removed by
mistake, thereby losing the centre-scale position of the
ADL, the following steps must be carried out to restore the
start condition:
1) Release the operator.
2) Slide the gate manually to the mid-travel position.
3) Remove the rack element so as to free the pinion.
4) Turn the pinion by hand clockwise or, if the pinion
becomes hard to turn, anticlockwise until the ADL
(centre scale) LED lights up continuously.
5.7. ALARM CONDITIONS
The ADL LED flashes in the following cases:
1) ADL system overrun.
2) Incorrect position of dipswitch SW8.
3) ADL connector removed.
4) Opening/closure time longer than 120 seconds.
The warning light (if connected) flashes at the same time
as the ADL LED.
While this condition is active all the control unit functions
are inhibited. It is possible to return to normal conditions
only after eliminating the cause of the alarm and pressing
the RESET button on the control unit.
N.B.: When the warning light flashes with the ADL LED off,
this means that fuse F2 has blown.
5.8. REGULATING THE TRANSMITTED TORQUE
To regulate the transmitted torque turn the screw on the
electric motor shaft (Fig. 11).
To increase the torque, turn the screw clockwise.
To reduce the torque, turn the screw anticlockwise.
IMPORTANT: THE OPERATOR IS DELIVERED WITH THE CLUTCH
SET TO MAXIMUM, SO THE SCREW MUST BE TURNED
ANTICLOCKWISE TO REACH THE OPTIMAL SETTING.
Activate the operator and stop the gate manually to
check that the clutch engages. Bear in mind that when
this is done with model 820 the electronic anti-crushing
device cuts in and stops the movement of the gate if it is
opening and reverses it if it is closing.
The electronic anti-crushing device activation threshold
depends on the setting of the mechanical clutch.
5.9 TESTING THE AUTOMATION
When installation is complete, affix the danger warning
label to the top of the casing (Fig. 28). Thoroughly check
operation of the automation and all connected
accessories.
Give the customer the User Guide. Explain correct use and
operation of the gear motor and draw attention to the
potential danger zones of the automation.
6. MANUAL OPERATION
If it is necessary to operate the gate manually due to a
power failure or malfunction of the automation, operate
on the release device as follows.
LEVER RELEASE DEVICE (Fig. 29)
- Remove the release device rubber cap.
- Insert the lever provided into the triangular slot release
system and turn clockwise by about half a revolution.
- Open or close the gate manually.

ensure a high level of safety.
However, some simple rules should be followed to avoid
accidents:
- Do not stand in the vicinity of the automation or allow
anyone else, especially children, to do so and do not
place objects in the vicinity of the automation. This is
particularly important during operation.
- Keep remote controls or any other control device out of
the reach of children to prevent them from accidentally
operating the automation.
- Do not allow children to play with the automation.
- Do not deliberately obstruct the movement of the gate.
- Make sure that branches or bushes do not interfere with
the movement of the gate.
- Keep the luminous signalling systems efficient and clearly
visible.
- Do not attempt to operate the gate manually without
first releasing it.
- In the event of a malfunction, release the gate to allow
access and call a qualified technician for service.
- After setting manual operation, disconnect the electricity
supply from the system before returning to normal
operation.
- Donot make any modifications to componentsbelonging
to the automation system.

- At least once every six months have the automation, the
safety devices and the earth connection checked by a
qualified technician.
DESCRIPTION
The FAAC 820 - 860 automations are ideal for controlling
vehicle access areas with medium-high transit frequencies.
The 820 and 860 for sliding gates are electromechanical
operators which transmit movement to the leaf by means
of a pinion with rack or chain coupled in an appropriate
manner to the sliding gate.
If automatic operation has been selected, sending an
impulse causes the gate to reclose on its own after the
selected pause time.
If semiautomatic operation has been selected, a second
impulse must be sent to reclose the gate.
An opening impulse send while the gate is reclosing
causes it to change direction of movement.
A stop command (if available) stops movement at any time.
For detailed information on operation of the sliding gate
in the various operating modes, contact the installation
technician.
The automations have safety devices (photocells) which
prevent the gate from reclosing when an obstacle lies
within the area they are protecting.
The system ensures mechanical locking when the motor is
not in operation, so it is not necessary to install a lock.
For this reason the release system must be used for manual
opening.
The gear motors have mechanical/electronic clutches
which offer the necessary anti-crushing safety. An
electronic device allows the open/closed limit switch
positions to be programmed. The electronic control unit is
incorporated in the gear motors.
A convenient manual release device allows the gate to
be operated in the event of a power failure or malfunction.
The light flashes while the gate is moving.
