NOTE:
In order to c omply with UL 325, two s ets
of FAAC photobeams mus t be ins talled. One s et
s hould be 6 in. outs ide the c los ed gate(s ) and ac t
as a c los ing rev ers ing dev ic e. Another s et s hould
be 6 in. bey ond the s wing of the gate(s ) and ac t
as an opening rev ers ing dev ic e. The ins taller is
res pons ible for determining the appropriate
mounting height.

You cannot check the motor’s direction of rotation
without these circuits (jumpers) or the accessories.
When properly prepared for testing, the LEDS FSWOP,
STOP, and FSWCL should be illuminated (see figure 16
on page 17).
WARNING!
Running the operator—even for
testing purposes—without a connected reversing
device is potentially dangerous. Do not place
yourself within the path of the moving gate
during your test.
Disengage the operator(s) with the Manual Release
key (see operator installation manual), and open the
gate by hand about halfway.
Next, engage the operator(s) with the Manual Release
key so that you can check the rotation of the motor
(s).
To activate the operator(s) momentarily short across
terminals 9 and 14.
Turn on the main power and send an activating signal
to the operator. The gate leaf (or leaves) should open.
If a gate leaf closes, then you need to turn off the
main power and reverse the connection of the red
and black wires on terminal block J4 for the operator
controlling that leaf. Then you need to recheck the
rotation direction again.
After having completed your test of the motor’s
direction of rotation, replace any test circuits you
installed (between terminals 11 and 16, between 12
and 19, and between 13 and 19) with the proper
reversing and stop devices. The instructions for
installing such accessories follow.

EVICES
:
Reversing devices include
photocells, inductive loops, and so forth. All of the
reversing devices should have contacts of the
normally closed (N.C.) type. Where you connect a
device depends on whether you want the device to
operate during opening or during closing.
N
OTE
: UL
does not
recognize the FAAC system
with loop detectors or safety edges. FAAC
photobeams must be used to comply with UL
325.
To wire photobeams, refer to page 19 (see FSWOP for
opening photobeams, and FSWCL for closing
photobeams). Photobeams must be connected as
shown. See also page 19 for the wiring of inductive
loops. If using more than one reversing device, they
must be wired in series.
