Always power off the barrier operator before starting installation to ensure safety.
Handle the 13-ft arm with care—due to its length, use proper support to prevent injury or damage.
Verify compatibility: Confirm your unit is a FAAC 615?BPR or compatible FAAC 620 operator.
Prepare the barrier operator’s arm mount and counterbalance system as per the FAAC installation manual.
Install the beam securely—ensure correct alignment and fastening.
Conduct both open and close tests, checking for smooth operation and no abnormal strain.
Consider applying reflective tape or lighting accessories for improved visibility, especially for high-speed environments.
Contact suppliers in advance for accurate truck freight shipping quotes.
Conduct regular inspections of the beam and operator mechanism, especially after heavy usage or exposure to harsh weather.
If aesthetics or safety are a concern, explore skirted or articulated beam options, which are also available for FAAC 615/620 systems
