Setup und Installation
Installation of the FAAC 746 ER Z16 motor and associated components requires careful planning and execution. Ensure the gate operates smoothly manually before automating it. The base plate must be securely anchored to a stable concrete foundation.

- Fundamentinstallation: Pour a concrete foundation for the motor base plate. Ensure the foundation is strong enough to support the motor and withstand gate forces.
- Motormontage: Securely attach the 746 ER Z16 motor to the base plate, ensuring it is perfectly level and aligned with the gate rack.
- Elektrische Anschlüsse: Connect the motor to the main power supply according to local electrical codes. Install the RP 433 SLH receiver and connect all safety devices (photocells, flashing lights, etc.). It is highly recommended that electrical connections are made by a certified electrician.
- Endschaltereinstellung: Stellen Sie die mechanischen oder magnetischen Endschalter so ein, dass die vollständig geöffnete und die vollständig geschlossene Position des Tores definiert werden.
- Testen: Perform initial tests of the gate's movement, ensuring smooth operation and correct functioning of all safety features.
