Entrapment protection

To comply with the UL325 standard for gate operators every 

entrapment zone, as defined in ASTMF2200, must be pro-

tected by two independent entrapment protection devices. 

One of the devices is inherent in the FAAC operators or the 

control board design, the other can be external, like a pho-
tocell or an edge sensor.

See this picture for the photocells positioning:

Closing Safety Devices

Opening Safety 

Devices

Opening Safety Devices:

 

Are active only during the gate opening movement, and 

are suitable for protecting the area between the opening 

leaves and fixed obstacles (walls, etc) agains the risk of 
entrapment

Closing Safety Devices: 

Are active only during the gate closing movement, and are 

suitable for protecting the closing area against the risk of 
entrapment.

Monitored Devices: 

Additionaly the UL325 standard requires that every external 

entrapment protection device must be monitored for 

presence and correct operation. To comply with this 

requirement the photeocells must be wired as shown:

ADVANCED PROGRAMMING

FAIL SAFE:

If this function is activated, it enables a 

function test of the photocells before any 
gate movement. If the test fails (photocells 
not serviceable), the gate does not start the 
movement.

 

= Active 

 = Disabled

Display

Function

Default

Once the photocells are wired the Fail Safe mode of the 

455D control board must be enabled. To enable it enter 

in advanced programming by pressing and holding “F” 

and then press “+”, scroll to the “FS” parameter and select 
“Active”.
For more details please refer to the advanced programming 
pararagraph.

Only one monitored photocell can be connected to the 

Closing or Opening safety inputs. More than one photocell 

or other device can be connected to the safety inputs, but 
they will not be monitored.  
Other devices connected to the safety inputs must have 

normally closed contacts and wired in series with the main 
monitored sensor. 
See the following example of one closing safety monitored 

photocell and one non monitored one.
