844 MC-R

The FAAC model 844MC-R automation for sliding gates is an
electromechanical operator which transmits movement to
the gate leaf by means of a rack and pinion coupled in an
appropriate manner to the sliding gate.
The reversible system allows the gate to be moved manually
when the motor is not in operation. An electric lock must
therefore be installed to ensure that the gate cannot move
when closed.
The gear motor is equipped with an adjustable mechanical
clutch which affords the necessary anti-crushing safety. A
convenient manual release device allows the gate to be
operated in the event of mechanical problems with the gear
motor. The electronic control unit may be  housed inside the
operator or in a separate box.

The automation 844MC-R has been designed and built for
vehicle access control. Do not use for any other purpose.

1.1.

MAXIMUM UTILISATION CURVE

The curve allows the maximum working time (T) to be obtained
as a function of duty cycle (F).
E.g.: the 844 MC-R operators can work continuously at a duty
cycle of 30%.

To ensure good operation, keep to the field of operation lying
below the curve.

Important

: The curve refers to a temperature of 24°C. Exposure

to direct sunlight can result in a reduction in duty cycle to as
low as 20%.

Calculating duty cycle

The duty cycle is the percentage of effective working time
(o closing) with respect to the total cycle time (opening
+ c pause times).
It is calculated using the following formula:

Ta + Tc

%F = 

  X 100

Ta + Tc + Tp + Ti

where:
Ta = opening time
Tc = closing time
Tp = pause time
Ti

= interval between one complete cycle and the next.
