This manual provides the correct procedures and requirements for
installing 400 and maintaining it in a safe condition.
When drafting the manual, the results of the risk assessment con-
ducted by FAAC S.p.A. on the entire product life cycle have been taken
into account in order to implement effective risk reduction measures.
The following stages of the life cycle of the product have been con-
sidered:
- Delivery/handling
- Assembly and installation
- Set-up and commissioning
- Operation
- Maintenance/troubleshooting
- Disposal at the end of the product’s life cycle
Risks arising from installation and using the product have been taken
into consideration; these include:
- Risks for the installation/maintenance technician (technical per-
sonnel)
- Risks for the user of the automation system
- Risks to product integrity (damage)
In Europe, the automation of a gate falls under the Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC and the corresponding harmonised standards. Anyone
automating a gate (new or existing) is classified as the Manufacturer
of the Machine. They are therefore required by law, among other
things, to carry out a risk analysis of the machine (automatic gate in
its entirety) and take protective measures to fulfil the essential safety
requirements specified in Annex I of the Machinery Directive.
FAAC S.p.A. recommends that you always comply with the EN 12453
standard and in particular that you adopt the safety criteria and de-
vices indicated, without exception, including the dead-man function.
This manual also contains general information and guidelines, which
are purely illustrative and not exhaustive, in order to facilitate the ac-
tivities carried out by the Manufacturer of the Machine in all respects
with regard to carrying out the risk analysis and drafting the instruc-
tions for use and maintenance of the machine. It should be clearly
understood that FAAC S.p.A. accepts no liability for the reliability and/
or completeness of the above instructions. As such, the manufacturer
of the machine must carry out all the activities required by the Machi-
nery Directive and the corresponding harmonised standards on the
basis of the actual condition of the locations and structures where the
product 400 will be installed, prior to commissioning the machine.
These activities include the analysis of all the risks associated with
the machine and subsequent implementation of all safety measures
intended to fulfil the essential safety requirements.
This manual contains references to European standards. The au-
tomation of a gate must fully comply with any laws, standards and
regulations applicable in the country where installation will take place.
Unless otherwise specified, the measurements provided in the instructions
are in mm.
