requirements for installing C4000I and maintaining it
in a safe condition.
When drafting the manual, the results of the risk
assessment conducted by FAAC S.p.A. on the entire
product life cycle have been taken into account in
order to implement effective risk reduction measures.
The following stages of the life cycle of the product
have been considered:
-Delivery/handling
-Assembly and installation
-Set-up and commissioning
-Operation
-Maintenance/troubleshooting
-Disposal at the end of the product’s life cycle
Risks arising from installation and using the product
have been taken into consideration; these include:
-Risks for the installation/maintenance technician
(technical personnel)
-Risks for the user of the automation system
-Risks to product integrity (damage)
In Europe, the automation of a gate falls under the Ma-
chinery 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 devices indicated, without
exception, including the dead-man function.
This manual also contains general information and
guidelines, which are purely illustrative and not exhau-
stive, in order to facilitate the activities carried out by
the Manufacturer of the Machine in all respects with
regard to carrying out the risk analysis and drafting the
instructions 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 Machinery Directive and the corresponding
harmonised standards on the basis of the actual condi-
tion of the locations and structures where the product
C4000I 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 stan-
dards. The automation 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 pro-
vided in the instructions are in mm.

Translation of the original instructions ENGLISH
In emergencies or if there is a fault, turn off the power
supply to the automation and disconnect the buffer
batteries if there are any. 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.
3.5 PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION
The product is identified by the plate 2.
3.6 TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The C4000I is designed to be installed in a column, the
minimum internal dimensions of which are 110x110
mm.
The C4000I is equipped with an absolute magnetic
encoder that is used by the board to determine the po-
sitions of the gate limit switches without the need for
additional external devices. In addition, the encoder
allows the position and speed of the gate to be accu-
rately controlled, thereby obtaining an anti-crushing
with reverse on obstacle detection function.
To install systems that have two opposite opening
leaves, two C4000I should be installed in a Mas-
ter-Slave configuration.
The C4000I is not reversible: to move the gate manu-
ally, follow the instructions in the Manual Operation
section.

4. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
4.1 MECHANICAL REQUIREMENTS
The mechanical structural components must comply
with the requirements of EN 12604. Before installing
the automation, the suitability of the mechanical re-
quirements 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. There must be no chance of water accumula-
ting in the installation area.
The structure (columns, guides, mechanical stops, leaf
and counterweights) must be solid and there must
be 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.
An installation column of a suitable dimension for
the gearmotor.
The leaf must remain vertical throughout the entire
length of travel, with a regular, smooth and uniform
movement. The path along which the leaf 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 clo-
sing. 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 mo-
ving 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 the paving 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 introduc-
tion 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 shea-
ring 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.
