748-24V AUTOMATION
Read the instructions carefully before using the product and
keep them for future reference.
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The 748-24V automation, when installed and used correctly,
affords a high level of safety.
However, some simple rules should be followed to avoid
accidents:
- Do not stand in the vicinity of the automation or allow
anyone else, especially children, to do so, and do not
place objects in the vicinity of the automation. This is
particularly important during operation.
- Keep remote controls or any other control devices out of
the reach of children to prevent them from accidentally
operating the automation.
- Do not allow children to play with the automation.
- Do not deliberately obstruct the movement of the gate.
- Make sure that branches or bushes do not interfere with
the movement of the gate.
- Ensure that the signalling lights are efficient and clearly
visible.
- Do not attempt to move the gate manually without first
releasing it.
- In the event of a malfunction, release the gate to allow
access and call a qualified technician for service.
- After setting manual operation, disconnect the electricity
supply from the system before returning to normal
operation.
- Do not make any modifications to components of the
automation system.
- Do not attempt to perform any repair work or tamper with
the automation. Call FAAC qualified personnel for repairs.
- At least once every six months have the automation, the
safety devices and the earth connection checked by a
qualified technician.
DESCRIPTION
The FAAC 748-24V automation is ideal for controlling vehicle
access areas with medium-high transit frequencies.
The FAAC model 748-24V automation for sliding gates are
electromechanical operators which transmit movement to
the leaf by means of a pinion with rack coupled in
appropriate manner to the sliding gate.
The operation of the sliding gate is controlled by an
electronic control unit housed inside the operator.
When the gate is closed, on receipt of an opening impulse
from a remote control or other suitable control device, the
control unit will start the motor to move the gate to the open
position.
If automatic operation has been selected, sending an
impulse causes the gate to reclose on its own after the
selected pause time.
If semiautomatic operation has been selected, a second
impulse must be sent to reclose the gate.
A stop command (if available) stops movement at any time.
For detailed information on operation of the sliding gate in
the various operating modes, contact the installation
technician.
The automations have safety devices (photocells) which
prevent the gate from reclosing when an obstacle lies within
the area they are protecting.
The system ensures mechanical locking when the motor is
not in operation, so it is not necessary to install a lock.
For this reason the release system must be operated before
the gate can be opened manually.
A convenient manual release device allows the gate to be
operated in the event of a power failure or malfunction.
The light flashes while the gate is moving.
MANUAL OPERATION
Should the need arise to operate the gate manually
because of a power failure or malfunction, release it by
means of the releasing device.
Proceed as follows:
• open the lid of the lock and insert the relative key in the
lock (fig. 1);
• turn the key clockwise and open the cover of the releasing
device as shown in figure 1.
To re-lock the system, return the cover of the releasing device
to its initial position.
Important: before giving a signal, ensure that the gate
cannot be moved manually.
N.B.: re-lock always the operator with gate in closed position.
