HARACTERISTICS
The FAAC 750 Operator is an automatic gate operator
for a swinging gate leaf. It can accommodate a gate leaf
of up to 1760 lb (800 kg) and up to 13 ft (4 m) in
length.
The 750 Operator is a two piece unit consisting of a
hydraulic power (or pump) unit and a hydraulic ram (or
drive) unit which are connected by the means of two
hydraulic hoses.
The 750 Operator can be used to swing the gate leaf
inward or outward. Some versions provide hydraulic
locking in at least one position, either opened or closed,
de­pending on how it was ordered.
The hydraulic lock is a service device rather than a
security device. Additional, external locks are
recommended under the following conditions:
• You are installing the Model 750 SB.
• The length of the gate leaf is 7 ft or more.
• The installation requires tight security.
• The site is subject to vandalism.
• The site is subject to strong or very gusty wind.
• You are installing a solid face gate.
For gates with two leaves, two operators are installed,
one on each leaf, and both are wired to one control
panel. In such two-operator gate installations, one leaf
can be programmed to open/ close slightly later than
the other leaf to accommodate overlapping gate
designs.
For its protection, the single-phase, bidirectional motor
shuts off automatically if its operating tem­perature
reaches 212 deg F (100 deg C). Also for the protection
and proper operation of the 750 Operator, each gate
leaf on which it is installed must have a fixed positive
stop in both the opened and closed positions.
The 750 Operator also includes a key operated Manual
Release mechanism and two bypass valves that precisely
control the force applied to the gate leaf through the
750 Operator.
The Manual Release mechanism is a lever that
disengages (or engages) the hydraulic system of the 750
Operator. When the hydraulic system is disengaged, you
can open and close the gate leaf by hand. Such manual
operation of the gate is necessary during installation
and useful during power failures.
Additional reversing devices (such as inductive loops
and photocells) should be installed to provide more
complete protection 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.
P
REPARING THE
G
ATE
Before you install the 750 Operator, you must insure
that the gate leaf meets the following criteria.
1. The gate leaf must not exceed the weight and
length constraints for 750 Operator that you
have.
Note: The following installation instructions assume
you are fully capable of installing a gate 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
particular to the 750 Operator
.
