Pause Time
The pause time between opening and closing can be
adjusted from 5 to 240 seconds. Turn the potentiometer
clockwise to increase the pause time and counter-
clockwise to decrease the pause time.
Opening/Closing Time
The opening/closing time is adjustable from 10 to 62
seconds. The approximate opening/closing time for a
90-degree opening is 18 seconds. Turn the
potentiometer clockwise to increase the time and
counterclockwise to decrease the time.
For optimal operation, set the time so that the motor
remains active for a few seconds after the leaf has
reached its limit stop for opening and for closing.
Leaf Delay
You may choose to delay one leaf on closing for
overlapping gate leaves. Be sure the operator on the leaf
for delayed closing is connected to Motor 1. On
opening, the leaf connected to Motor 2 is delayed 2.5
sec.
Note
: You cannot
adjust
this opening delay of
the operator connected to Motor 2. However,
you can avoid the opening delay—and closing
delay—by connecting both operators (and their
capacitors) to Motor 1.
The closing leaf delay time is adjustable from 0 to 28
seconds. Turn the potentiometer clockwise to increase
the time and counterclockwise to decrease the time.
Note
: If one-leaf gate designs, be sure to set
the potentiometer for leaf delay to its minimum
(0 seconds).
Note
: If the opening/closing time is set at less
than the leaf delay time, the delayed leaf closes
at the end of the closing time.
Maintenance
The 412 Operator
The FAAC 412 Operator requires no maintenance.
Periodically inspect the operator, however, to confirm
the suitability of the hardware.
The Control Panel
The control panel requires no maintenance, but every
six months you should verify that the torque adjustment
setting is appropriate. FAAC recommends that the
torque be set so that the gate leaf stops if it encounters a
force of more than about 33 lb (15 kg).
