These instructions apply to the following models:
FAAC 540 and FAAC 541
The 540 and 541 automated systems are designed for
automating balanced industrial sectional doors.
They consist of an electro-mechanical operator, and either on-
board electronic control equipment (540) or an interconnection
board for a remote control equipment (541). Installation is
possible either directly on the shaft of the rope-winding drums,
or by chain transmission (optional item) with a reduction ratio of
1:1.5 or 1:2.
The non-reversing system ensures mechanical locking of the door
when the motor is not operating and, therefore, no lock needs
to be installed; the manual release and the manual opening
system (in models for which it is supplied) make it possible to
move the door in case of a power cut or malfunction.
The 540 and 541 automated systems were designed and built for
indoor and outdoor use.

Fig. 1
Graph 1 shows with which type of application the 540 can be installed,
considering the maximum force required to manually move the door F, in daN
(1daN = force required to lift 1,02 kg), and the diameter of the rope-winding
drum Df in millimetres. For example, if a door can be moved with a force of
60daN and the drum diameter is 170 mm, a 540 with chain transmission of 1:1.5
must be installed.
N.B. Force F can be measured with a dynamometer. It is not directly related to
the weight of the door, but to its balance.
