HARACTERISTICS
The 402 Compact Operator is an automatic, light-duty
gate operator it can accommodate a gate leaf up to 10 ft
(3m) in length and up to 900 lbs (410 kg) in weight.
Note: The 402 Compact Operators are not
recommended for use with solid gates.
The self contained 402 operator is an electro-hydraulic
unit consisting of an electric motor, a pump, a valve
assembly and a hydraulic cylinder, all housed in an
anodized aluminum oil reservoir.
All models of the 402 operator have one hydraulic lock.
The CBC version is designed to lock when the piston is
extended. The CBA version is designed to lock when the
piston is retracted.
The hydraulic lock is a service device rather than a
security device. Additional external locks are
recommended under the following conditions:
• Your gate leaf is 10 ft or longer.
• Your installation site requires tight security.
• Your gate site is subject to vandalism.
• Your gate site is subject to strong or very
gusty wind.
• Your gate system has an open-hold-open
device.
The electronic control panel is a microprocessor-based
controller that accepts a range of product accessories
and reversing devices to allow flexibility in designing
the gate system. The 450 MPS control panel allows you
to set the opening/closing time, a leaf delay for a two-
leaf gate system, the operating logic for your gate
system, the pause time, the reversing stroke, and the
behavior of reversing devices.
For its protection, the single phase, bi-directional
electric motor shuts off automatically if its operating
temperature reaches 212 deg F (100 deg C). Also for the
protection and proper operation of the 402 operator,
each gate leaf on which it is installed must have a fixed
positive stop in both the open and closed positions.
The 402 Operator also includes a triangular key
operated Manual Release Mechanism and two bypass
valves which precisely control the force applied to the
gate leave(s). The Manual Release Mechanism is a key
operated device that disengages or engages the
hydraulic system of the 402 Operator. When the
hydraulic system is disengaged, you can open and close
the gate leaf by hand. Such manual operation of the
gate leaf is necessary during installation and useful
during power failures.
The two bypass valves located on the top of the
operator needs to be adjusted to meet the safety
standards of FAAC International, Inc. The standards
state the gate leaf should stop, if it encounters a force
greater than 33 lbs. (15 kg). Once the pressures are
adjusted, the by pass valve screws are covered so that
the pressures are not altered.
Additional reversing devices such as photobeams or
reversing edges should be installed to provide more
complete safety for people and property.
The electronic control panel is a microprocessor-based
controller that accepts a wide range of product
accessories and reversing devices. Thus allowing for
flexible gate system design.

REPARING THE
G
ATE
Before installing the 402 Operator, you need to prepare
the gate itself for the operator. Be sure to do the
following things:
1. Make sure that the gate is plumb.
2. Make sure that the gate moves smoothly on its
hinges without excessive friction by swinging
it open and closed by hand. Lubricate all the
gates’ moving parts.
3. Provide positive stops for the gate leaves in
the fully open and fully closed positions (see
Figure 2).

Installing the 402 Compact Operator involves preparing
the gate, installing the operator(s), installing the control
panel, and fine-tuning the pressure adjustments on the
operator(s).
Note: The following installation instructions
assume you are fully capable of installing an
operator. This manual does not instruct you in
designing a gate, installing a gate, or basic
electrical wiring. The installation tasks discussed in
this manual are tasks peculiar to the 402 Operator.
