The FAAC 10871015.5 S800H CBAC 100° In-Ground Hydraulic Gate Opener Kit is a high-performance solution for automating swing gates while keeping the mechanism concealed underground. Designed for heavy gates (up to 1,760 lbs / 800 kg) and wide leafs (up to 13 ft / 4 m), this operator combines hydraulic strength with precise control via a 24V DC hybrid power-train and an absolute encoder.
Its CBAC version includes built-in hydraulic locks for secure holding in both open and closed positions. Battery backup ensures that the gate stays operable even during power outages. The kit includes everything needed: the hydraulic operator, hydraulic manual release, splined shaft collar, mounting bolts, and essential accessories.
Features such as mechanical opening/closing stops, safety reversal on contact (through the E024U control board), handles for easier handling and installation, integrated encoder, and continuous duty cycle make this an excellent choice for residential, condo, or luxury applications where both aesthetics and robust performance matter.
Genuine FAAC part built to original FAAC specifications.
Equipped with safety features: encoder for position control, reverse on contact, built-in mechanical stops to prevent over-travel.
CBAC version includes hydraulic locking, securing gate in both open and closed positions.
IP67 rated for high resistance to dust and water ingress.
Designed for continuous duty; suitable for high-use applications.
UL325 listed for safety compliance.
Preparation: Ensure gate leaves are properly balanced and swing freely. Check that the ground where the in-ground housing will be installed provides stable concrete pad or footing.
Excavation & Housing: Install the in-ground housing box (support box) level, flush with final finish surface. Ensure proper drainage to avoid water accumulation.
Mounting Operator: Insert operator unit into housing; secure with mounting hardware and splined shaft collar. Ensure alignment with gate pivot.
Electrical Connections: Connect 24 V DC supply to the actuator; connect controller board (E024U) to AC power source (110-120 VAC) as required. Ensure the encoder is correctly wired and configured.
Mechanical Stops & Limits: Use integrated mechanical stops if included; set open and closed positions precisely, adjusting encoder if necessary.
Safety Devices: Install all required safety devices such as photo-eyes, safety edges, warning signage, etc. Configure reverse-on-contact and obstacle detection as per standard safety practices.
Battery Backup: If the kit includes battery backup, mount and connect backups per instructions, test power failure scenario to ensure the gate operates properly under battery power.
Testing: Cycle gate through multiple open/close cycles, under light and heavier loads; observe smoothness, listen for unusual noise, check for leaks (if any), check lock/unlock of CBAC.
Final Adjustments: Make fine adjustments to stops, sensitivity, speed, etc. Check that gate closes fully and safely even under variations in ambient temperature or binding.
Use genuine FAAC hydraulic oil and replacement parts to maintain performance and warranty.
Maintain periodic inspections: check seal integrity, lubrication of moving parts, encoder calibration.
For installations in areas with heavy rain or potential flooding, ensure good drainage around in-ground box.
In freezing climates, protect hydraulic components from freezing when idle.
If gate is long or subject to wind loads, consider SBW (strong-wind version) or reinforcing gate structure.
Ensure electrical installation complies with local codes; include proper grounding and disconnects.
