Read the instructions carefully before using the product and
keep for future reference.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

If correctly installed and operated, the 550 automation systems
ensure a high level of safety.
However, some simple rules should be followed to avoid
accidents:
- Do not stand underneath the garage door.
- Do not stand in the vicinity of the automation or allow anyone
else, especially children, to do so and do not place objects in
the vicinity of the automation. This is particularly important
during operation.
- Keep remote controls and other control devices out of the
reach of children to prevent them from accidentally operating
the door.
- Do not allow children to play with the automation.
- Do not deliberately obstruct the movement of the door.
- Make sure that branches or bushes do not interfere with the
movement of the door.
- Keep the luminous signalling systems efficient and clearly visible.
- Do not attempt to operate the door manually without first
releasing it.
- In the event of a malfunction, release the gate to allow access
and call a qualified technician for service.
- After setting manual operation, disconnect the electricity supply
from the system before returning to normal operation.
- Do not make any modifications to components belonging to
the automation system.
- Do not attempt to perform any repair work or tamper with the
automation. Call FAAC qualified personnel for repairs.
- At least once every six months have the automation, the safety
devices and the earth connection checked by a qualified
technician.
DESCRIPTION
The 550 automation system is ideal for operating residential
counterweighted up-and-over garage doors.
It consists of an electromechanical operator, a control unit with
courtesy light and a protective cover integrated into a single unit
to be mounted on the garage door panel using the relevant
accessories.
The irreversible system locks the door mechanically when the
motor is not running, so a lock is not required. A manual release
device allows the door to be operated in the event of a power
failure or malfunction.
Anti-crushing safety is assured by an adjustable electronic device.
The 550 automation system allows two operators (550 I + 550
Slave) to be installed on the same door.
The door is normally closed. When the control unit receives an
opening signal via the radio control or another control device, it
activates the electric motor which rotates the door to the open
position to allow access.
If automatic operation has been set, the door closes again after
the selected pause time.
If semiautomatic operation has been set, a second signal must
be given to close the door again.
Giving an opening signal while the door is opening always
causes the door to stop moving.
Giving an opening signal while the door is closing causes the
door to reverse its direction of movement.
A stop signal (if available) always stops the door.
Ask the installation engineer if you need further information on
operation of the door in the various operating logics.
The automation systems may include safety devices (photocells)
which prevent the door from closing when an obstacle lies within
the area they are protecting.
User's guide
550 AUTOMATION SYSTEM
The 550 automation systems are provided as standard with an
anti-crushing safety device which limits the torque transmitted to
the door.
The door can be opened manually by using the release system.
The light flashes to indicate that the gate is moving.
The courtesy light comes on when the motor starts and remains
on for about 90 seconds after it has stopped.
MANUAL OPERATION
The 550 operator is equipped with an emergency release device
that can be operated from inside the garage. On request, a lock
can be fitted to the door panel to allow the release device to be
operated from outside.
If the door has to be operated manually due to an electric power
failure or malfunction of the automation, use the release device
as follows:
- From inside (Fig. 1)
Insert the hex wrench provided and turn it about half a turn
clockwise until it stops.
Note: depending on the type of installation, the release device
may be on the right (A) or left (B).
- From outside (Fig. 2)
1) Open the safety door and insert the wrench.
2) Turn anticlockwise as far as possible and remove the lock unit.
3) Insert the hex wrench provided and turn anticlockwise about
half a turn until the stop is reached.
RETURNING TO NORMAL OPERATION
To prevent an accidental movement from activating the door
during this operation, disconnect the power supply from the
system before locking the operator again.
- From inside (Fig. 1)
Insert the hex wrench provided and turn anticlockwise about half
a turn until the stop is reached.
Note: depending on the type of installation, the release device
may be on the right (A) or the left (B).
- From outside (Fig. 2)
1) Insert the hex wrench provided and turn clockwise about half
a turn until the stop is reached.
2) Remove the hex wrench and insert the lock unit.
3) Turn the wrench clockwise so that it can be removed; close the
safety door again.
