The automated system consists of a white beam in aluminium,
with reflex reflectors and a steel upright. The operator is located
inside the upright, and consists of a hydraulic control unit and two
plunging pistons which, by means of a rocker, rotate the beam.
The beam stays balanced thanks to a balancing spring assembled
on one of the plunging pistons. The electronic control unit is also
housed in the upright, inside a waterproof compartment.
The system is supplied with an adjustable anti-crushing safety
device. It also includes a device stopping and locking the beam
in any position, and a handy manual release for use in case of
power cuts or faults.

1.1 MAXIMUM USE CURVE
Use frequency graph
Important: The curve is obtained at a temperature of 24 °C.
Exposure to the direct sun rays can reduce use frequency down
to 20%
Calculation of use frequency
The percentage of effective work time (opening + closing)
compared to total time of cycle (opening + closing + pause
times).
Calculation formula:
Ta + Tc
%F = X 100
Ta + Tc + Tp + Ti
where:
Ta = opening time
Tc = closing time
Tp = pause time
Ti = interval time between one complete cycle and another
2 ELECTRIC PREPARATIONS (standard system)

4.1 PRELIMINARY CHECKS
To ensure safety and an efficiently operating automated system,
make sure the following conditions are observed:
• When moving, the beam must not, on any account, meet
any obstacles or overhead power cables.
• The soil must permit sufficient stability for the foundation
plinth.
• There must be no pipes or electrical cables in the plinth
excavation area.
• if the barrier body is exposed to passing vehicles, install, if
possible, adequate means of protection against accidental
impact.
• Check if an efficient earth socket is available for connecting
the upright.

f Magnetic loops
4.2 MASONRY FOR FOUNDATION PLINTH
WALL THE FOUNDATION PLATE TO ALLOW EASY ACCESS
TO THE BARRIER HATCH.
The curve makes it possible to establish maximum work time (T)
according to use frequency (F).
E.g.: Operators 630,630PLUS, 640R/40 and 640/70 can
operate non-stop at 100% use frequency as they are provided
with a cooling fan. Models 630 standard and 640 std/40 can
operate non-stop at 70% use frequency.
To ensure efficient operation, operate in the work range under
the curve.

4.4 ADJUSTING THE BALANCING SPRING.
IMPORTANT: The barrier is supplied already balanced for the
exact length of the beam indicated in the order.
(The barrier is balanced when the beam stays idle in the 45°
position)
For any fine tuning of barrier balancing, proceed as follows:
1) Make sure that the operator is released: see chapter 6.
2) If the barrier tends to close, turn the spring pre-loading
ring-nut (Fig.12 ref.b) clockwise, if it tends to open, turn it
anti-clockwise.
Fig. 12
5 START-UP
5.1 CONNECTION TO CONTROL BOARD
IMPORTANT: Before attempting any work on the control board
(connections, maintenance, etc), always turn off power.
5.2 ADJUSTING THE TRANSMITTED TORQUE
To set the hydraulic system for controlling transmitted torque, turn
the two by-pass screws (Fig. 13).
The red screw controls closing movement torque.
The green screw controls opening movement torque.
To increase torque, turn the screws clockwise.
To reduce torque, turn the screws anti-clockwise.
5.3 ADJUSTING THE TRAVEL LIMIT SLOW DOWN
For beams with a length of over 4 m, we advise you
not to set too brief a slow down.
1) Adjust the cams of the travel limit device as shown in Fig.14
ref.  by loosing the two Allen screws. To increase the slow
down angle, take the cam close to the relevant travel limit
device. To reduce the slow down angle, take the cam away
from the relevant travel limit device.
2) Set the slow down time of the control unit by adjusting the
dedicated parameters.
3) Relock the system (see chap.6) and run a few operational
tests to verify correct registration of the travel limit devices,
of spring balancing, and of the adjustment of transmitted
force.
For the electrical connections, refer to the dedicated
instructions of the control board.
Observing the indications in fig.3, install the raceways and make
the electrical connections from the electronic appliance to the
selected accessories.
Always separate power cables from control and safety cables
(push-button receiver, photocells, etc.).

8 MAINTENANCE
Whenever doing 6-monthly maintenance, always check correct
settings of the by-pass screws, system balancing, and efficiency
of safety devices.
8.1 TOPPING UP OIL
Periodically check the quantity of oil inside the tank.
An annual check is sufficient for low to medium use frequency;
for heavier duty, check every 6 months.
The level must not drop below the notch of the control stick
(Fig.18 ref. ) .
To top-up, unscrew the filling plug (fig.18) and pour in oil up to
correct level.
Use FAAC HP OIL and no other.
5.4 AUTOMATED SYSTEM TEST
After installation, apply the danger sticker on the top of the upright.
Check operating efficiency of the automated system and all
accessories connected to it.
Hand over the “User manual” to the customer, as well
as the documentation required by current laws, and
illustrate the correct operation of the barrier, pointing
out the potential danger zones.
6 MANUAL MODE OPERATION
If the barrier has to be moved manually due to a power cut or
fault of the automated system, operate the release device with
the supplied key.
The supplied release key can be triangular (Fig. 17 ref.) or
customised (Fig. 17 ref.boptional).
- Insert the release key in the lock and turn it anti-clockwise
through one complete rev. as shown in Fig. 17.
- Open or close the barrier manually.
7 RESTORING NORMAL OPERATION MODE
To prevent an involuntary pulse from activating the gate during
the manoeuvre, cut power to the system before activating the
locking system.
triangular release key (standard):
- turn the key clockwise until it stops and remove it (Fig. 17
ref. )

8.2 BLEEDING OPERATION
If beam movement is incorrect, air must be bled from the
hydraulic system.
Procedure:
1) Make sure that the bleed screw was eliminated (Fig.9)
2) Activate the beam electrically:
- during opening, slightly loosen and re-screw the bleed
screw of the piston with the balancing spring (Fig.1 ref. 33)
- during closure, slightly loosen and re-screw the bleed screw
of the piston without the balancing spring (Fig.1 ref.11) .
3) If necessary, repeat the operation several times, until you
obtain correct beam movement.

SKIRT KIT
The skirt kit increases visibility of the beam.
It is available in lengths 2m and 3m.
IMPORTANT: If a skirt kit is installed, the balancing spring must
be adapted if possible.
The articulation kit makes it possible to articulate the rigid beam
to a maximum ceiling height of 3.2 m.
IMPORTANT: If the articulated kit is installed, the balancing spring
must be adapted if possible.
END FOOT
The end foot allows the beam to rest when closed and thus
prevents the profile bending downward.
IMPORTANT: If a foot is installed, the balancing spring must be
adapted if possible.
FORK SUPPORT
The fork has two functions:
- it prevents the beam, when closed, from bending and splitting
if its end is stressed by extraneous forces.
- it allows the beam to rest when closed and thus prevents the
profile bending downward
11 AVAILABLE ACCESSORIES
ANTI-VANDAL VALVE (Fig. 20a)
It protects the hydraulic system if the beam is forced.
AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY RELEASE (Fig. 20b)
During a power cut, the automatic emergency release allows
you to manually lift the beam without accessing the release lever
of the hydraulic control unit. A hydraulic system guarantees that
the beam is stopped in opening position.
