The FAAC 844 is a rugged, rack-and-pinion or chain-driven slide gate operator designed for residential, commercial, and industrial use. Available in both 120 VAC and 230 VAC versions, the unit includes a microprocessor-based steel control panel (780D), manual release, inductive limit-switches, oil-immersed motor/gearbox, and adjustable mechanical clutch, delivering reliable operation with integrated safety features.

Key Features:

Drive Type: Rack-and-pinion (or chain variant)
Voltage Options: 120 VAC or 230 VAC
Control Panel: 780D microprocessor-based (supports multiple logic modes: B, C, BC, CB, E1, A1, S1, S2)
Motor & Gearbox: Die-cast aluminum housing; oil-immersed clutch & two-disc friction clutch for anti-crushing safety
Safety System: Integrated torque-sensing friction clutch + inductive limit switches for smooth stops
Construction: Self-contained motor with built-in clutch & reduction gearbox; compact operator with grounding, venting, and limit-switch housings
Manual Override: Keyed lever allows manual gate operation during power loss
Duty Cycle: Rated up to ~70% (e.g., 17–26 cycles/hour <=5 m gate depending on pinion)
Applications: Suitable for slide gates up to ~2,200 kg (5 m) in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings

Modes & Logic Options (via 780D panel):

B Mode: Three-button control (Open/Stop/Close)
C Mode: Two-button “depressed-to-move” control
BC/CB Modes: Hybrid combinations of B and C
E1–S2 Modes: Provide semi-automatic, automatic, and enhanced security logic for timed and obstacle-sensitive control
