The FAAC 400CBAC?EG (Extended Geometry) Operator Only – 220/230/240V AC, Part No.1042021, is a robust hydraulic swing gate operator designed for both residential and heavy-duty commercial environments. Its extended arm makes it ideal for bi-parting (dual) gate configurations or acting as a direct replacement for existing systems. The operator features silent hydraulic operation, self-lubricating mechanisms, hydraulic locking in both open and closed positions, and a key-protected manual release for emergency access.
Capable of handling gates up to 18ft (5.5m) in length and 1,500lb (680kg) in weight, it delivers a thrust force of 1,045lbf (465daN).The unit is powered by 220/230/240VAC (single-phase), draws 1A, and has a power rating of 220W. Additional specs include 1.5 l/min pump flow, 0.6 in/s rod speed, and an effective rod stroke of 15?in (380mm).Operating conditions range between –20°C to +55°C (42°F to 131°F) with built-in thermal motor protection at 120°C (248 F) and an IP55 protection rating.
Safe and Secure Operation: Designed with a hydraulic bypass valve to prevent entrapment, the operator also includes a key-protected manual release allowing for gate movement during emergencies or power outages. The hydraulic lock provides secure locking in either open or closed gate positions. Additionally, hydraulic operation eliminates dangerous pinch points found in other mechanisms.
Mount the operator: Install the unit on the gate leaf, ensuring proper alignment and secure mounting.
Connect control system: If integrating into an existing kit, connect to the appropriate control board and safety devices.
Verify manual release: Ensure the key-operated manual override operates smoothly for emergency use.
Install positive stops: UL325 requires mechanical stops at gate open/closed extremes—install accordingly
Test operation: Perform several open–close cycles to confirm smooth hydraulic locking, silent operation, and reliable performance under ambient conditions
Use in bi-parting systems: The extended geometry makes this unit excellent for configuring master/slave gate systems.
Install positive gate stops: Critical for preventing overtravel and protecting the operator
Comply with UL325: Ensure monitored safety sensors and proper stop mechanisms are in place.
Consider Arctic oil in cold climates: For sub-zero environments, FAAC offers Arctic-grade hydraulic oil for improved performance.
