Maintenance
WARNING!
Turn the main power to the
operator off before performing any maintenance
or repairs. The manufacturer recommends that
only qualified personnel check and maintain the
equipment.
The 885 Operator
The FAAC recommended maintenance schedule vary
according to the frequency of use of the operator,
whether lightly used (once or twice an hour) or heavily
used (many cycles per hour). Operators used in a humid/
salt air climate should follow the heavy use schedule.
Lubricate the chain and gate rollers.
Use a light, spray on lubricant (teflon, silicon, WD-40,
etc.) to lubricate the entire chain. Grease the gate rollers
appropriately for the type of rollers that you have.
CAUTION!
Do not use heavy grease to
lubricate the chain. It will collect dirt and
debris, which could damage the chain and/or
drive sprockets.
Light duty use: every 6 months
Heavy-duty use: every 3 months
Check entrapment protection devices.
Test the photobeams to ensure that the gate responds
properly to a potential obstacle. Also check to see if the
inherent entrapment protection (reverse on contact)
system is functioning properly. The gate should invert
movement if it encounters a force of 40 pounds or more.
Light duty use: every 12 months
Heavy-duty use: every 6 months
Test the batteries.
If you are using the optional battery back up system,
check your batteries to ensure that they are charged.
Light/ Heavy duty use: every 12 months
The 885 CAT Control Panel
Keep the control panel free from spider webs, insects,
etc. Otherwise, the control panel requires no
maintenance.
Troubleshooting
WARNING!
Turn the main power to the
operator off before performing any maintenance
or repairs. The manufacturer recommends that
only qualified personnel check and maintain the
equipment.
Problem:
When an activation signal is sent, the open
light (DL3) comes on, but the gate does not open.
Possible Solutions:
1.
Check to see if the stop light (DL8) is
illuminated. If not, check the cover safety
switch and all other stop devices.
2.
If either safety input (Safety 1 or 2) is
programmed to be active in the opening
direction, check to see that the Safety 1 light
(DL9) and the Safety 2 light (DL2) are
illuminated. If they are not, check your safety
devices.
3.
Check to see that the Lock Solenoid is retracting
and triggering its switch when the signal is
given. When the switch is triggered it will
illuminate the DL10 led.
Problem:
Gate opens, but will not close.
Possible Solutions:
1.
Check the logic setting in the programming. If
in A mode gate should close after selected pause
time. In any other mode a close signal is
required.
2.
If either safety input (Safety 1 or 2) is
programmed to be active in the closing
direction, check to see that the Safety 1 light
(DL9) and the Safety 2 light (DL2) are
illuminated. If they are not, check your safety
devices.
3.
Check to see that the control panel knows that
the gate is open. Make sure that the open limit
light (DL5) is not illuminated. Make sure that
the display shows 03 or 04.
Problem:
Gate starts it’s travel (open or close) but does
not make it all the way.
Possible Solutions:
1.
Check to see that a limit isn’t being triggered
prematurely. Check the limit lights (DL5 and
DL7). Check the status display.
2.
Check to see that the Safety 1 light (DL9) and
the Safety 2 light (DL2) are illuminated. If they
are not, check your safety devices.
3.
Check to see that the operator is able to pull the
gate. Increase the force setting if necessary.
Adjust the gate and rollers if necessary.
