How FAAC Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• FAAC 770 slide-gate operators: The limit-switch cam wears a flat spot after roughly 6-8 years of daily cycles, causing the gate to drift past its stop point and slam the mechanical bumper. We replace the cam with the OEM brass unit, not the aftermarket polymer version that softens in Georgia heat, then photograph the new limit position for the job record.
• FAAC 402 hydraulic swing arms: The internal bypass valve sticks open when old fluid breaks down, so the gate moves at crawl speed or stops mid-travel. We flush the hydraulic circuit, refill with FAAC-spec oil, and bench-test the pressure relief before reinstalling. In Johns Creek, we see this more often on south-facing gates where summer cabinet temperatures exceed 140 degrees.
• FAAC 415 control boards: The relay outputs for the magnetic lock or safety loop fail closed after voltage spikes, which means the gate “thinks” it’s safe to move when it isn’t. We test every output with a loop simulator, replace the board only if the trace damage is visible, and always verify the homeowner’s surge protector status.
• FAAC photocell pairs (XP series): The receiver lens clouds over time, especially on properties near the Chattahoochee where morning fog is common. We align the beam with a digital level, clean or replace the lens, and document the final millivolt reading on the receiver terminal so the next technician has a baseline.
• FAAC 770 chain assemblies: The original #40 roller chain stretches unevenly when the tensioner is set too tight, which accelerates sprocket wear and throws the gate out of square. We measure chain sag at mid-span, set it to manufacturer spec, and check the slide gate’s nylon guide shoes for the cracking that usually follows.

Our FAAC Gate Installation Process

1. 1
   Site measure and load calculation. We weigh the gate leaf or leafs, measure the opening, and calculate the duty cycle. A 16-foot iron swing gate in Johns Creek needs a different operator spec than the same gate in aluminum.
2. 2
   Written scope and price. Under Haven Standard Clause 1, we deliver an itemized quote: operator model, mounting hardware, safety devices, power run length, and labor. No work starts until you have the signed copy.
3. 3
   Parts decision. We stock FAAC OEM operators and keep quality aftermarket options for budget-conscious jobs. If we use non-OFAAC parts, we note the manufacturer and warranty term on the written scope so there’s no confusion.
4. 4
   Install and program. We set limit switches with a digital protractor, program auto-close timers to your preference, and integrate any existing access control. Every wire termination is photographed.
5. 5
   Safety test and documentation. We test entrapment protection per UL 325, verify the manual release function, and leave you with a photo log of the installation and a written record of all settings. Under Clause 4, this documentation is included at no additional charge.
6. 6
   365-Day coverage begins. The Done Right Promise starts the moment we finish. If anything about the installation isn’t right, we make it right. No argument, no fee, no expiration within that window.
