these operations can only be carried out by qualified personnel.
26) Maintenance: the functional check of the system must be carried out
at least every six months; pay special attention to the good working
condition of the release and safety devices (including, where foreseen,
the thrust force of the operator).
27) Feed the automation system only when explicitly stated.

3 INSTALLATION OF THE AUTOMATED SYSTEM
Following conditions have to be met to ensure safety and the
efficient operation of the automated system:
• The gate structure must be suitable for automation. Verify in
particular that it is sufficiently strong and stiff and that dimensions
and weight correspond to those stated in the technical
specifications.
• Verify the smooth and uniform movement of leaves, without
irregular friction during the whole travel.
• Verify the good condition of hinges.
• Verify the presence of mechanical limit switches.
• Remove any locks and bolts.
Carry out any metalwork operations before installing the
automated system.
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
The FAAC S450H automated system for swing-leaf gates consists
of an electrical pump and an hydraulic piston transmitting the
leaf movement, assembled in a single block.
The model with hydraulic lock can automate leaves up to 2 m.
It does not require the installation of electric locks and guaran-
tees that the leaf is mechanically locked when the motor is not
in operation. The model without hydraulic lock always needs
one or more electric locks to guarantee the leaf mechanical
lock. The S450H automated systems have been designed
and built to automate swing-leaf gates. Avoid any other use
whatever.
Without encoder the automated system does not operate
correctly.

If no external mechanical stop point at closure is present,
you may use the stop point inside the operator. Therefore
remove the rod completely up to its internal stop point.

Disassemble the operator from the front fixing to avoid
damaging the rod when the front fixing is installed on the
gate.
Weld the front fixing directly on the leaf or screw it by means
of threaded inserts.
If an opening mechanical stop on ground is not installed,
spacers can be used (Fig. 1 re. g). Remove the front

5 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION OF THE "2easy bus" ENCODER
The S450H operator is fitted with an encoder system with "2easy bus" technology. The proper assignment of the leaf to the corresponding
encoder depends on the connection of the two encoder wires (leaf 1- encoder 1; leaf 2 - encoder 2).
THE ENCODER WIRES MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE "2easy bus" CONNECTOR OF THE ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT.
To verify the proper combination LEAF 1 - ENCODER 1 - MOTOR 1 and LEAF 2 - ENCODER 2 - MOTOR 2, refer to the LEDs on the
encoders, as shown by table 2 and the figures 19 - 20 - 21.
To invert the leaf-encoder combination, change the encoder polarity by swapping its wires until the right LEDs are lit.

DL 1: must always be ON to ensure the right connection between encoder and board.
DL 2: indicates the leaf where the encoder is installed.
If the encoder is installed on leaf 1, the DL 2 LED is ON.
If the encoder is installed on leaf 2, the DL 2 LED is OFF.
DL 3: when blinking at regular intervals, it signals the pulse reading during the leaf
movement. When the gate leaf is stationary, DL 3 is OFF.
If the gate is to be operated manually because of a power failure or an automated system fault, activate the release device.
1) Lift the protection lid (Fig. 18, re. a) and insert the key in the lock (Fig. 18, ref. b).
2) Turn the key 90° clockwise to open the cover and lift it.
3) Turn the release knob (Fig. 18, re. c) anticlockwise until it stops.
4) Open or close the leaf manually.
To restore the normal operation of the automated system, perform the above described operations in reverse order.
The LEDs of the encoder remain visible also with the protection cover of the rear
bracket installed.
The models S450H SB are not equipped with a release facility since, thanks to the particular configuration of the hydraulic
distributing flange, you do not need to release the operator to manually move the leaf
