Problem:

  

When the safety devices are triggered, the 

gate does not respond, as it should.

 

Possible Solutions: 

1.

 

Check to see that your safety devices are 
connected properly.  Photocells should be 
connected in series across terminals 3 and 5.  
Terminals 7 and 8 should be jumped for the 
plug-in loop detector to work properly. 

2.

 

If the plug-in loop detector is the problem, make 
sure that the S2 function is set to Y. 

3.

 

Check to see if you have chosen the proper 
settings for the S1 and FU functions. 

 

Problem:

 

 There are no LEDs illuminated on the control 

panel.

 

Possible Solutions: 

1.

 

Check for 115 volts at the operator’s junction 
box.  If you do not have power there, check the 
main breaker. 

2.

 

Make sure the power switch on the top of the 
operator is on. 

3.

 

Check the F1 and F2 fuses on the control panel 
with an ohm meter or continuity tester. 

4.

 

Make sure that the transformer is connected 
properly to the control panel at J9 and J11. 

 

  

 

 
When troubleshooting any problem with the 885 
Operator, the ability to interpret the LED indicators will 
assist you more than anything.  Using the table on page 
13 will help narrow down most problems. 
 
A volt-ohm meter (VOM) or a multimeter is also a big 
part of troubleshooting.  It will give you the ability to 
check voltage, resistance, continuity, etc. 
 
If you have a problem with the 885 Operator and these 
general solutions don’t solve it, contact your dealer or 
distributor for assistance.  If you need further assistance, 
FAAC offers the best technical support in the industry
