The FAAC 422 CBAC 220V UL Arm is a high-quality hydraulic swing gate operator built for residential and light commercial use. It is designed to automate vehicular swing gates up to 10 feet (˜3 m) in leaf width and 900 lbs (˜410 kg) of leaf weight. Powered by 220-230-240 VAC single-phase, it delivers quiet, reliable operation with hydraulic locks in both the open and closed positions, a key-protected manual release for emergencies, and a self-lubricating mechanism for low maintenance. The unit is UL-325 compliant (when used with required safety devices) and has an IP55 protection rating, making it suitable for outdoor installations. This model uses standard hydraulic oil (unless specified otherwise) and features robust construction to handle frequent cycles (up to 55 per hour) under a wide ambient temperature range.
Use this model for gates up to 10 ft wide per leaf and up to 900 lbs; exceeding those limits may reduce lifespan or performance.
Ensure the installation includes required safety devices (monitored photo cells or sensors) in compliance with UL-325 regulation.
Provide solid gate stops in both open and closed positions to protect the operator from overwinding or damage.
Install in locations protected from extreme environmental exposure when possible; although rated for IP55, minimizing exposure to direct water ingress or debris will extend life.
For cold environments, consider using the Arctic Oil version (if available) for improved performance
Mount the hydraulic actuator to the gate post and gate leaf using provided hardware.
Ensure precise alignment of the piston arm and mounting brackets.
Connect to a compatible FAAC control panel (e.g., 455D – not included).
Adjust hydraulic open/close pressure valves according to gate size.
Perform safety checks and system testing before finalizing the installation.
Weather-seal any exposed connections.
Must be used with required safety devices (photo-cells, safety edges, etc) to comply with UL-325 and local safety codes.
Do not exceed rated leaf weight or length; overloading can lead to poor performance or mechanical failure.
The manual release should only be operated when power is off or in emergency; if used incorrectly the gate could move unexpectedly.
The motor winding has thermal protection but avoid extended misuse or overheating.
Installation must ensure no pinch points that could trap fingers or materials during gate movement.
Follow grounding and electrical code – improper wiring can lead to shock, fire, or damage.
