It consists of non-reversing electro-mechanical articulated operators, powered by 12 Vdc, and each operator is coupled to a
control unit. The non-reversing system guarantees the gate will automatically lock when the motor is not operating. A release
system enables the gate to be moved by hand in case of malfunction.
The DOMOLINK automated system was designed and built for controlling vehicle access. Do not use for any other purpose.

4.3. Installation sequence
The DOMOLINK operator is available in 2 versions, designed for
installation according to leaf opening direction:
RIGHT DOMOLINK for right side installation (Fig. 4 - RH)
LEFT DOMOLINK for left side installation (Fig. 4 - LH)
4.2. Installation dimensions
Establish the installation position of the operator by referring to
Fig. 3 and Table 2.
4. INSTALLATION
4.1. Preliminary checks
To ensure safety and an efficiently operating automated system,
make sure the following conditions are observed:
•The enclosures of the control boards (see relevant
instructions) should be installed at a distance from the
operators not requiring the motor cable to be extended.
•The structure of the gate must be suitable for being
automated. In particular, check that the structure is
sufficiently strong and rigid, and that its dimensions and
weight conform to those indicated in the technical
specifications.
•Make sure that the leaves move uniformly and correctly,
without any irregular friction during their entire travel.
•Make sure that the hinges are in good condition.
•Check if the mechanical stops of the limit-switches are
fitted.
•Remove any locks and lock bolts.
We advise you to have any metalwork carried out before the
automated system is installed.
To select the dimensions, we advise you to measure dimension
D first and then position the rear fitting, using dimension B
among those indicated in Table 2.
Note: Carefully check that the distance between the leaf
hinge and any obstacles (wall, fencing, etc.) is greater
than or equal to min dimension I (Fig. 3) referring to the
selected opening angle, so that it does not interfere
with the opening movement of the operator.

The fitting can be either welded directly to the leaf, or screwed
on, using the threaded inserts (Fig. 9).
4.3.5 Installing the front fitting
4.3.4 Positioning the front fitting
•Take the leaf to its closed position.
•Temporarily secure the front fitting to the fully extended
operator with the 3 rotation points aligned (Fig. 8). Rest the
fitting on the leaf and mark out the fixing points. Check if the
operator and fitting are perfectly horizontal.
4.3.3 Releasing the operators
Release the operator as shown in Fig. 7.
Secure the operator to the rear fitting, with the nut and washer
(Fig. 6) tafking care to fit the toothed part correctly.
ÜThe rear fitting must never be cut and it must face
downwards with its pillar fixing points.

6. RESTORING NORMAL OPERATION MODE
If you wish to relock the gate, use the release/locking device
as follows:
Fit the supplied Allen wrench and turn anti-clockwise until
it stops (Fig. 12 Ref.). Put back the protective cap.
5. MANUAL OPERATION
If the gate has to be moved manually due to a malfunction of
the automated system, use the release/locking device as
follows:
•Remove the protective cap from the release screw, fit the
supplied Allen wrench and turn clockwise until it stops (Fig. 12
Ref ).
•Pull in the operator’s ‘elbow’ zone and open the gate (Fig. 12

User’s guide
Read the instructions carefully before using the product and
store them for future use
GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS
If correctly installed and used, the DOMOLINK automated
system ensures a high degree of safety.
Some simple rules concerning behaviour can prevent
accidental trouble:
- Do not pass through the leaves while they are moving.
Wait for the leaves to open fully before passing through.
- Do not, on any account, stand between the leaves.
- Do not stand near the automated system or allow children,
persons or things to stand or lie there, especially while it is
in use.
- Keep remote controls or other pulse generators away
from children, to prevent the automated system from
being activated involuntarily.
- Do not allow children to play with the automated system.
- Do not willingly obstruct leaf movement.
- Prevent any branches or shrubs from interfering with leaf
movement.
- Keep indicator-lights efficient and easy to see.
- Do not attempt to activate the leaves by hand unless you
have released them.
- In the event of a malfunction, release the leaves to allow
access and wait for qualified technical personnel to do
the necessary work.
- Before attempting any job on the system, cut out electrical
power and disconnect the batteries (if provided).
- Do not in any way modify the components of the
automated system.
- Do not attempt any kind of repair or direct action whatever
and contact qualified personnel only for the purpose.
- At least every six months: arrange a check by qualified
personnel of the automated system, safety devices and
accessories.
DESCRIPTION
These instructions apply to the following models:
FAAC DOMOLINK
The FAAC DOMOLINK automated system for residential
swing gates consists of non-reversing electro-mechanical
linear operators, powered by 12 Vdc, through battery or
transformer. Each operator is coupled to an electronic
control unit ensuring correct operation
If using the battery-powered version, it should be considered
that this is a work battery (not a back-up battery) therefore
when the battery is discharged, the automated system has
to allow for its recharge in order to resume operation.
The operators are controlled by an electronic control unit
(one for each motor), housed in an enclosure with adequate
degree of protection against atmospheric agents.
The leaves are normally in closed position.
When the electronic control unit receives an opening
command via the remote control or any other pulse
generator, it activates the operator to rotate the leaves
until they reach the opening position allowing access.
If automatic operating mode was set, the leaves closes
automatically after selected pause time has elapsed.
If the semi-automatic operating mode was set, a second
pulse must be sent to close the gate again.
A stop pulse (if supplied) always stops movement.
For details on the behaviour of the automated system in
different function logics, consult the installation Technician.
Automated systems may include safety devices that prevent
the leaves from moving when there is an obstacle in the
area they protect.
The DOMOLINK automated system is provided with an
adjustable anti-crushing device which reverses leaf
movement in case of contact with an obstacle.
The warning-light indicates that the leaves are moving.
MANUAL OPERATION
If the gate has to be moved manually due to a malfunction of
the automated system, use the release/locking device as
follows:
•Remove the protective cap from the release screw, fit the
supplied Allen wrench and turn clockwise until it stops (Fig.1
Ref. ).
•Pull in the operator’s ‘elbow’ zone and open the gate (Fig. 1
Ref. ).
RESTORING NORMAL OPERATION MODE
•Fit the supplied Allen wrench and turn anti-clockwise until
it stops (Fig. 1 Ref. ). Put back the protective cap.
