FAAC Model S418 Swing Gate Operator
1. Install the gate operator only when the following
conditions 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
separate 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
accessible 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.
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.
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
controls. 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 qualied service person make repairs to gate
hardware.
• The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must
use a separate entrance.
• SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

6FAAC Model S418 Swing Gate Operator
The FAAC Model S418 automated system for swing-leaf gates is an electro-mechanical operator which transmits its movement to
the gate leaf by means of a worm-screw system.
The irreversible system guarantees mechanical locking of the leaf when the motor is not operating. An easy-to-use release device
permits movement of the leaf in case of malfunction or a power outage.
The adjustable rear bracket permits the operator to be installed on most existing gate applications.

2. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 3.2 PRELIMINARY CHECKS
The structure of the gate directly inuences the reliability
and safety of the automated system. To ensure correct
operation, the structure of the existing gate, or that to be
tted, must have the following characteristics:
• The length of leaf must conform to what is shown in the
technical characteristics of the operator (Section 2).
• The structure of the leaves must be sturdy and rigid,
suitable for an automated system.
• There must be regular and uniform movement of the
leaves, with no friction or sticking along their entire
movement.
• Hinges must be suitably sturdy and in good condition.
It is recommended that any metalwork operations
should be performed prior to installing the automated
system.
3.1 ELECTRICAL SETUP
When laying electrical cables, use conduits with adequate
rigidity and/or exibility.
To avoid any type of interference, always separate low-
voltage accessories and command connection wiring from
power supply cables, use separate sheaths.

FAAC Model S418 Swing Gate Operator
If the size of the pillar or the position of the hinge does
not permit the proper installation of the operator, a niche
will have to be made in the pillar (as indicated in Figure 6)
in order not to change value A (Figure 4). The size of the
niche must be such as to permit an easy installation of the
operator, not limiting its rotation and allowing activation of
the manual release device.
Fig. 8
Fig. 9
Fig. 6
The rear bracket is adjustable to different positions, which
limits modications necessary to satisfy installation values
Aand B.
Figure 7 shows some of the positions that the bracket can
take; all the positions intermediate to those shown may be
obtained.
The positions chosen must permit the assembly of the
bracket using both securing screws.
3.3.1 General Rules for Determining Installation Values
• To obtain opening of the leaf to 90°: A+B=C.
• To obtain opening of the leaf more than 90°: A+B<C.
• Lower A and B values produce higher peripheral leaf
speeds.
• Limit the difference between value A and value B to within
1½inches, greater differences may cause variations in
speed during opening and closing gate movements.
• Maintain a Z value that keeps the operator from striking
the pillar.
• The mechanical stops intervene during the rst and nal
1½inches of the stroke. Not utilizing the entire operator
stroke could limit the possible adjustments or reduce
them to zero.
3.4 INSTALLING THE OPERATOR
To correctly install the operator, follow the procedure below:
1. Secure the xed part of the rear bracket in the position
determined previously, using suitable assembly systems.
In the case of iron pillars, the bracket may be welded
directly to the pilaster, see Figures 8 and 9.
During assembly procedures, check that the bracket is
perfectly horizontal using a level.

6. Secure the operator to the rear bracket using the
appropriate bolt supplied, as indicated in Figure 15.
7. Bring the leaf of the gate to the close position.
8. Bring the operator, together with the related bracket,
alongside the leaf.
9. Check that the operator is horizontal using a level, as
indicated in Figure 16, and temporarily secure it with
clamps or two welding points.
The axis of the securing holes of the front bracket must
be aligned with the axis of the securing holes of the rear
bracket, see Figure 17.
If the structure of the gate does not permit reliable
mounting, the structure of the gate must be reinforced
to provide a solid supporting base.
10. Prepare the operator for manual operation, see Section
5, and move the leaf manually, checking that it completes
the entire opening operation required, stopping at the
mechanical stops.
If, during the test, the operator hits the leaf of the gate,
value E may be increased, see Figure 4, up to a maximum
of 4½inches, using appropriate spacers placed between
the front bracket and the leaf of the gate.
11. Perform any corrective measures necessary and repeat
the procedures from Step 9.
12. Permanently secure the front bracket, using a suitable
securing system as indicated in Figure 18.
If it is decided to weld the bracket directly onto the leaf,
the operator must be released temporarily. Wait for the
bracket to cool before reattaching the operator.
