Automatic sliding gate FAAC 740 | Безопасность и защита

FAAC 740 and 741 are rightly considered the best Italian drives for sliding gates. They gained their popularity thanks to a reliable steel reducer, reliable electronics, an affordable price, a good service and spare parts. Let's consider all the pros and cons of these models.

We remove the plastic cover and see the drive in all its inner color. The control board is located vertically, so there will be no dust on it. The condensate from the axial drive cover is excluded-an additional cover made of transparent plastic is installed over the board.

Motor at FAAC 740 AC, 220v. The power is 350 W, it is one of the highest performance in the class. At the bottom on the case there is an emergency unlock mechanism of the drive. It is very simple and very convenient-just rotate the round handle. The handle can be locked with a key to avoid unauthorized access to the gate.

The outer gear of the drive is made of calendar steel.

The inner gear on the shaft is brass, it is powered by a steel gear mounted on the shaft of the motor.

The FAAC 740 control board is considered reliable and costs against the background of competitors quite moderately-about 80 euros. What is afraid is a very strong voltage surges.

Many users wrongly believe that the fuses serve to save the board from voltage surges. This is not quite so-the fuse saves not from high voltage, but from a large current strength that grows with a short circuit. The fuse burns, saving board details from total destruction and fire. For excess voltage on the board is such an element as varistor. The blown blue varistor on the board will announce that the voltage over 270 volts went on the board. At the same time, the voltage resistor closes to burn the fuse. In half of cases, the replacement of the varistor and fuse helps restore the board, but in some cases it has time to burn the transformer or track of the FAAC 740 control control control control also after large surges of voltage can fly settings control board-in this case will have to correct them. This is done simply, with the help of three buttons on the board and digital display.

The drive is equipped with magnetic end switches, which is very convenient in winter. The only appeal is the plastic case of magnets, which often knock down the shovel when cleaning the snow.

Is it worth buying FAAC 740? Of course, because this is the best European drive for sliding gates. And it is not much more expensive than its silhouette-plastic competitors. Proof of its quality is the fact that the most expensive model of the German manufacturer of Hormann automation is nothing but the FAAC 740 model.
