4. INSTALLATION
4.1. PRELIMINARY CHECKS
Make sure that the dimensions of the door are within the
limits stated in the technical specifications. Make sure that
the door operates smoothly and has no stiff points. If
necessary, clean the tracks and lubricate them with a
silicon based lubricant. Do not use grease. Check the
condition of all door bearings and joints. Remove the
manual door locks so that when the door is closed it will be
locked only by the automation system. Make sure that
there is a 230 Vac power supply point in the garage, and
that it is protected by an adequate residual current circuit-
breaker.
The FAAC 595 I automation system is designed to operate
various types of garage doors with counterweights. Figs. 1,
2, and 3 show the most common types: canopy door,
articulated panel, horizontal tracks. Either metal blocks or
bricks can be used as counterweights, though some door
manufacturers use springs instead of weights. Check in any
case that the door pivots correctly when opening and
closing.
4.2. INSTALLATION OF OPERATOR
Accessories of the FAAC 595 I/S are supplied in two versions:
• "Welded assembly": welded telescopic arms, drive
shafts, and mounting brackets.
• "Screw assembly": all accessories feature screw-on
attachment.
Straight or curved telescopic arms are available for both
versions.
The present instructions refer to "screw assembly".
4.3. POSITIONING OF TELESCOPIC ARMS
Ensure that there is a gap (S - fig.7) of at least 15 mm
between the existing cross bar and the frame. This is
essential if straight telescopic arms are to rotate correctly
as shown in fig.11.
If gap (S) is less than 15 mm, the special curved telescopic
arm must be used instead, and installed as shown in fig.9.
Refer to fig.4 to fix brackets (D) to the upright member as
close as possible to the upper support of the existing cross
bar. Fit the outer profiles of the arms. Respect maximum
door dimensions as per the technical specifications and
install either one operator (FAAC 595 I) at the centre of the
door (fig.8) or two operators at the sides of the door (595
Fig. 17
I and 595 S), (fig.9).
4.4. POSITIONING THE BACK PLATE / OPERATOR /
DRIVE SHAFTS
The back plate (Z) features two holes (M) and (N) which
allow for fixture to the upper cross bar of the door as
indicated in A and B of fig.4.
In the case of door heights of less than 2100 mm, fit the
backplate on the upper cross bar by means of (M) (see A).
With door heights above 2100 mm, fit the backplate by
means of (N) (see B, fig.4).
Drill two 6 mm holes (U) for backplate fixture onto the
central reinforcement ribbing of the door (fig.4). If the door
frame is not sufficiently sturdy (thin sheet) use nuts and bolts.
Alternatively, use self-tapping screws.
Fig. 18
Locate the point of rotation of the drive shaft at 10 cm
below the bottom pivot of the door's own arm as shown in
figs. 11 and 13.
Remove bleed screw (F) and secure the operator by means
of mounting brackets (S) on the backplate as shown in fig.4.
Disconnect the operator and open the garage door as
indicated in fig.10 and turn the operator drive gear in the
direction of the arrow to the piston limit. Rotate though
approx. 5° in the opposite direction.
Close the garage door and fit drive shafts (T- fig.4) over the
operator drive gears and cut to size as shown in figs. 8/9.
Fit bushings (C) and brackets (L) on the drive shafts and
secure brackets (L) on the door reinforcement ribbing
taking care to maintain correct alignment of the drive
shafts.
Straight telescopic arm: refer to fig.11 - Curved telescopic
arm: refer to fig.13
Open the garage door and position the telescopic arm as
indicated in figs. 11 or 13. Cut the outer profile at point A. Cut
the inner profile of the telescopic arm at reference point B.
N.B. Leave a gap of about 1 cm at the ends of both profiles.
Insert the drive shafts (T) in the inner profile of the telescopic
arm (Q - fig.4), already cut to size, and drill an 8 mm hole.
Secure by means of an M8 bolt.
To ensure smooth door closing operation install a cushion
pad (T - fig.14). Alternatively, to prevent garage door off-
balance and ensure optimal operator functioning, construct
and install an "L" bracket as shown in fig.15.
