HARACTERISTICS
The FAAC 415 L LS Operator is an automatic gate
operator for a swinging gate leaf. The 415 L LS
Operator is useful in residential applications and can
accommodate a gate leaf up to 15 ft (4.5 m) long.
The self-contained 415 L LS Operator consists of an
electric motor that drives a worm screw housed in an
aluminum casing.
The locking the 415 L LS 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 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 415
L LS Operator, each operator has built in limit switches.
Built-in security and anti-crushing measures of the 415 L
LS Operator include a torque adjustment that controls
the force transmitted to the gate leaf through the 415 L
LS Operator.
The Manual Release mechanism is a key accessed
device that disengages (or engages) the cylinder on 415
L LS 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 415 L LS Operator is set during Basic
Programming of the 455 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.
During prolonged power outages the manual release
may be used if needed.
NOTE: The limit switches can be used for two
options.
1) The limit switches can be used as positive
stops. (basic learning)
2) The limit switches can be used as the point
of slow down and positive stops are required.
(complete learning)
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 not needed with the 415 L LS
Operator due to built in limit switches.

ECHANISM
To manual release the 415 L LS Operator perform the
following steps as shown in Figure 2.
1. Slide the key access cover toward the front of the
operator.
2. Insert the key and turn it counterclockwise 1/4 turn.

NSTRUCTIONS
Installing the 415 L LS 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 415 L LS Operator.
