    What to do if my FAAC 940SM Gate Opener door is not closing and the ERROR LED is off?
    • M

      If your door is not closing and the ERROR LED is off, consider the following: * Check if the photocell/s are engaged. Also, verify that the selected operating function is not DOOR OPEN. If there is no SD-Keeper installed, ensure that input 8 of the J6 terminal board is not jumper connected to the negative. * Make sure that the selected operating function is not MANUAL. * Check the motor connection. * Check if power is being supplied to the motor (VMOT LED ON).

    Why are the MAIN, VACC, VMOT and +24V LEDs off on my FAAC Gate Opener?
    • G
      griffithleahAug 28, 2025
      If the MAIN, VACC, VMOT, and +24V LEDs are off, it could be due to several reasons: * The F2 5x20 T1A fuse on the 940SDM control board may be interrupted. Check this fuse. * The 5x20 T1A fuse inside the power supply unit could be interrupted. Check this fuse. * Connector J2 might not be fitted correctly on the 940SDM control board. Ensure it is properly connected. * The 940SDM control board itself may not be operating correctly, requiring replacement.

    Why is the MAIN LED off but VACC, VMOT and +24V LEDs are on in my FAAC 940SM?
    • H
      Heather ClarkAug 30, 2025
      If the MAIN LED is off, but the VACC, VMOT, and +24V LEDs are on, it indicates that mains power is not supplied and the 940SDM control board is running on battery power. Check the mains power supply.

    Why is VMOT LED off but MAIN, VACC and +24V LEDs are on in my FAAC 940SM Gate Opener?
    • C
      Calvin HebertSep 1, 2025
      If the VMOT LED is off while the MAIN, VACC, and +24V LEDs are on, it could indicate: * The F1 5x20 T6.3A fuse on the 940SDM control board is interrupted. Check the fuse. * Connector J3 is not correctly fitted on the 940SDM control board. Check the connection. * The 940SDM control board is not operating correctly and may need to be replaced.

    What does it mean if VMOT and VACC LEDs are off but MAIN and +24V LEDs are on in my FAAC 940SM Gate Opener?
    • J
      Jacob MendezSep 4, 2025
      When the VMOT and VACC LEDs are off, but the MAIN and +24V LEDs are on, it typically means: * The control board software is being updated; wait for the procedure to finish. * There may be condensation on the board; cut power and dry the dampness. * The 940SDM control board may not be operating correctly and needs replacement.

    Why is the SD-KEEPER off on my FAAC 940SM Gate Opener?
    • R
      Rachel SandersSep 6, 2025
      If the SD-KEEPER is off, it could be due to the following reasons: * No mains power is supplied, and the 940SDM control board is battery-powered in NIGHT operating function and in energy-saving status. Check the connection cables and wiring between the SD-Keeper and the 940SDM control board. * The connection to the 940SDM control board is interrupted. Check the connection cables and wiring between the SD-Keeper and the 940SDM control board. * The 940SDM control board is not operating correctly. Consider replacing the 940SDM control board.
