Thank you for choosing our product. FAAC is sure that it will give you
all the performances you are looking for. All our products are the
result of a long experience in the field of the automated systems.
In the middle of the handbook you will find a detachable
brochure with the images for the installation.
The 550 automation system is designed to operate residential
counterbalanced up-and-over garage doors.
It consists of an electromechanical operator, a control unit with
courtesy light and a protective cover integrated into a single
unit to be mounted on the garage door panel using the relevant
accessories.
The irreversible system locks the door mechanically when the motor
is not running, so a lock is not required. A manual release device
allows the door to be operated in the case of a power failure or
malfunction.
Anti-crushing safety is assured by an adjustable electronic devi-
ce.
The 550 automation system allows two operators ( 550 ITT + 550
SLAVE ) to be installed on the same door.
The 550 automation system has been designed and constructed
for vehicle access control. Do not use for any other purpose.
IMPORTANT NOTES FOR INSTALLER
Before starting the installation of the operator read this manual
completely.
Keep this manual for future reference.
Smooth operation and specifications are obtained only declared
following the directions given in this handbook and with acces-
sories and safety devices FAAC.
The lack of a mechanical clutch device requires to ensure an
adequate level of security automation, the use of a central control
device with an electronically controlled clutch.
The automation was designed and built to control vehicular
access. Avoid any other use.
The operator can not be used to handle emergency exit routes
or gates installed on emergency (escape routes).
If there is built-in anti motorize from a door to the walkway is requi-
red to add a safety switch on the door, connected on the entry
of STOP, to inhibit the operation of automation with door open.
Everything that is not expressly stated in this manual is not al-
lowed.

4. INSTALLING THE AUTOMATION SYSTEM
4.1. PRELIMINARY CHECKS
To ensure safe, proper operation of the automation system, check
the following:
The mechanical parts must conform to the provisions of Standards
EN 12604 and EN 12605.
Make that dimensions of the door meet the requirements given
in the technical specifications and that the door is sufficiently
robust.
Check the condition of the door bearings and joints.
Check that the door moves smoothly; If necessary clean the
tracks and lubricate them with a silicone based lubricant. Do
not use grease.
Check that the door is correctly balanced.
Remove the mechanical door locks so that when the door is
closed it is locked only by the automation system.
Check that there is an effective earth connection for the geared
motor.
The 550 automation system is designed to operate various types
of counterbalanced up-and-over garage doors. Fig. 4 shows the
most common types:
a) single section outward swinging
b) double section outward swinging
c) single section inward swinging with horizontal tracks
4.2. POSITIONING TELESCOPIC ARMS
The gap between the existing balancing arm and the frame (di-
stance ” S1 ” in fig. 5) must be at least 15 mm to allow the straight
telescopic arms to rotate correctly.
If not, it is possible to use curved telescopic arms which can be
installed over the top of existing balancing arms. Check that the
gap between the door panel and the frame is at least 20 mm
(distance ” S2 ” in fig. 5).
4.3. POSITIONING OPERATOR/BACK PLATE
Respecting the maximum dimensions of the door, install either a
single operator at the centre of the door as shown in fig. 6 or two
operators at the sides of the door as shown in fig. 7.
The operator is designed so that the geared motor unit can be
installed with the drive shaft at two different heights (see section
5).
The following instructions apply to both assembly options, although
they refer specifically to installation of the operator with the geared
