2. INSTALLATION DIMENSIONS
The FAAC 412 is a self-contained compact operator that consists
of an electric motor that drives a worm screw housed in an
aluminum casing.
The system locks mechanically; therefore no electric lock is re-
quired. Positive stops are required.
The 412 operator is designed and built to automate vehicular
swing leaf gates. Do not use for any other purpose

2.2. GENERAL RULES
If the dimensions indicated in table A or B cannot be obtained
the following general rules can be used determine different
installation dimensions:
- to obtain 90° opening of the leaf: a + b = rod stroke.
- to obtain over 90° opening of the leaf: a + b < rod stroke.
- lower a and b dimensions will result in higher speeds.
- limit the difference of the a and b dimensions to within 1.5 in
higher differences will create high speed variations during the
opening and closing movement;
- if the column dimensions or the position of the hinge do not
make it possible to reach the required A dimension, a niche must
be carved in the column as shown in Fig. 2;

Always separate the connection cables of the low voltage
accessories from the high voltage power cables. Use separate
conduits to avoid interference.
The installer is responsible for grounding the gate and operator
systems, for providing the main power breaker switch, and for
making sure that the entire gate system meets all applicable
electrical codes.
Make sure to locate all controls that operate the gate system at
least 6 ft away from any moving parts.
