455 D Control Panel Installation Instructions
You cannot check the motor’s direction of rotation
without these circuits (jumpers) or the accessories.
When properly prepared for testing, the LEDS FSWOP,
STOP, and FSWCL should be illuminated (see figure 3.5
on page 5).
WARNING!
Running the operator—even for testing
purposes—without a connected reversing device is
potentially dangerous. Do not place yourself within
the path of the moving gate during your test.
Disengage the operator(s) with the Manual Release key
(see operator installation manual), and open the gate by
hand about halfway.
Next, engage the operator(s) with the Manual Release
key so that you can check the rotation of the motor(s).
To activate the operator(s) momentarily short across
terminals 9 and 14.
Turn on the main power and send an activating signal to
the operator. The gate leaf (or leaves) should open. If a
gate leaf closes, then you need to turn off the main
power and reverse the connection of the red and black
wires on terminal block J4 for the operator controlling
that leaf. Then you need to recheck the rotation
direction again.
After having completed your test of the motor’s
direction of rotation, replace any test circuits you
installed (between terminals 11 and 16, between 12 and
19, and between 13 and 19) with the proper reversing
and stop devices. The instructions for installing such
accessories follow.

: You can access a 24 VDC
output for supplying power to accessories through
terminals 17 or 18, (+) and 14 or 15 or 16, (-) on
terminal block J1. In most cases, this source can be
used to power 24 VDC accessories.

EVICES
: Reversing devices include photocells,
inductive loops, and so forth. All of the reversing
devices should have contacts of the normally closed
(N.C.) type. Where you connect a device depends on
whether you want the device to operate during opening
or during closing.

OTE
: UL
does not
recognize the FAAC system
with loop detectors or safety edges. FAAC
photobeams must be used to comply with UL 325.
To wire photobeams, refer to page 4 (see FSWOP for
opening photobeams, and FSWCL for closing
photobeams). Photobeams must be connected as
shown. See also page 7 for the wiring of inductive loops.
If using more than one reversing device, they must be
wired in series.

NOTE:
In order to comply with UL 325, two sets
of FAAC photobeams must be installed. One set
should be 6 in. outside the closed gate(s) and act
as a closing reversing device. Another set should
be 6 in. beyond the swing of the gate(s) and act
as an opening reversing device. The installer is
responsible for determining the appropriate
mounting height.
