Read the instructions carefully before using the product
and keep them for future reference.
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
If correctly installed and operated, the 884 automations
ensure 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 and 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.
- Keep the luminous signalling systems efficient and clearly
visible.
- Do not attempt to operate 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 belonging
to 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 884 automation is ideal for controlling industrial
vehicle access areas.
The 884 for sliding gates is an electromechanical operator
which transmits movement to the leaf by means of a
pinion with rack or chain coupled in an appropriate
manner to the sliding gate.
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.
An opening impulse sent while the gate is reclosing causes
it to change direction of movement.
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.
The gear motors have an adjustable mechanical clutch
for safe use of the automation.
The electronic control unit is incorporated in the gear
motor.
A convenient manual release device allows the gate to
be
operated in the event of a power failure or malfunction.

MANUAL OPERATION
If the gate has to be operated manually due to a power
failure or malfunction of the automation, use the release
device as follows:
- Open the door in the casing using the triangular key
provided (see Fig. 1).
- Operate the relase lever shown in fig. 2 (pos. MANUAL).
- A safety microswitch in the release system prevents the
automation from being activated by accidental
commands .
- Close the door and open or close the gate manually.
RETURN TO NORMAL OPERATION
- Open the door in the casing using the triangular key
provided (see Fig. 1).
- Move back the lever shown in fig. 2 up to the
mechanical stop (pos. AUTOMATIC).
- Close the door.
