HARACTERISTICS
The FAAC 390 24v Operator is an automatic gate
operator for a residential swinging gate leaf that is
ideal for large columns.
The self-contained 390 24v Operator consists of a
irreversible electromechanical motor and articulated
arm.
The locking the 390 24v Operator provides in the fully
opened and fully closed positions is a service device
rather than a security device. Additional, external locks
are recommended under the following conditions:
∗
It is a solid-faced gate.
∗
The length of the gate leaf is 6 ft (2 m) or longer.
∗
The installation requires tight security.
∗
The site is subject to vandalism.
∗
The site is subject to strong or very gusty wind
In two-operator gate installations, both (master/slave)
operators are wired to one control panel.
The electronic control panel is a microprocessor-based
controller that accepts a wide range of product
accessories and reversing devices, thus allowing for
flexible gate system design.
Also for the protection and proper operation of the 390
24v Operator, each operator has available optional limit
switches.
Built-in security and anti-crushing measures of the 390
24v Operator include built in reverse on contact and a
torque adjustment that controls the force transmitted to
the gate leaf through the 390 24v Operator.
The Manual Release mechanism is a key-operated device
that disengages (or engages) the gears in 390 24v
Operator. When the drive is disengaged, you can open
and close the gate leaf by hand. Such manual operation
of the gate is necessary during installation and useful
during prolonged power failures.
The torque of the 390 24v Operator is set during Basic
Programming of the 425 D Control Panel. (see page 19
for Basic Programming).
Reversing devices (such as inductive loops and
photocells) should be installed to provide non-contact
reversing operation.
WARNING:
To insure that the installation meets the UL
325 Standards. A set of photo beam (Part Number
785163) must be installed anywhere that an entrapment
with the gate leaf(s) could happen.
The 425 D also has a built in battery back-up system
that can be used with the addition of 2 12V 7ah
batteries. The batteries must be wired in series to
provide 24VDC to the control panel during power
outages.
During prolonged power outages the manual release
may be used if needed.
Make sure that the gate structure is solidly built. Add
reinforcing crosspieces if necessary to the gate leaves.
Make sure that the gate moves smoothly on its hinges
without excessive friction by swinging it opened and
closed by hand. If necessary, lubricate all the gate's
moving parts.
Positive stops are needed with the 390 24v Operator
unless you have purchased the optional Limit Switch Kit
(FAAC Part Number 390682)

NSTRUCTIONS
Installing the 390 24v Operator involves preparing the
gate, installing the operator(s), installing the control
panel, programming control panel, and connecting
other operational controls.
Note:
The following installation instructions assume
you are fully capable of installing an electromechanical
operator on a gate. This manual does not instruct you
in designing a gate, installing a gate (whether on
masonry, wood, or metal posts), or basic electrical
wiring. The installation tasks discussed in this manual
are tasks particular to the 390 24v Operator.
