FAAC 412 Dual Swing Gate Operator Kit 115 VAC

Bi-Parting Residential Gate Automation with Matched Left and Right Operators

The FAAC 412 Dual-Swing Gate Operator Kit is a 115 VAC electromechanical automation system for dual-leaf residential swing gates. The kit uses two handed FAAC 412 operators, one 412DX for the right-hinged gate leaf and one 412SX for the left-hinged gate leaf, providing the correct operator configuration for both sides of a typical bi-parting gate.

Each FAAC 412 uses an electric motor and internal worm-screw drive to move its gate leaf. The operators are designed for light residential, single-family vehicular gates with each leaf measuring from 6 to 14 feet wide and weighing up to 500 pounds. Each operator provides up to 719 lbf of thrust and can open a properly installed gate approximately 90 degrees in 16 seconds.

The included 455D control panel operates both gate leaves and provides programmable opening and closing functions, including selectable leaf delays for overlapping gates, adjustable thrust force, automatic closing, multiple operating logics, and programmable slowdown.

The 412 operators mechanically lock the gate in both the open and closed positions and include a manual release for moving the gate by hand during a power failure or operator malfunction. Positive mechanical gate stops are required in both the fully open and fully closed positions. FAAC recommends an electric or magnetic lock for gate leaves longer than 12 feet.

How to Identify the DX and SX Operator

For a dual swing gate, the kit includes both operator orientations, but each operator must be installed on the correct gate leaf.

Stand on the operator side of the gate, facing the gate, with the FAAC logos on the motor housings facing you. For a typical inward-opening installation, this means standing inside the property with the gate leaves swinging toward you.

• Gate leaf hinged on your right: Install the FAAC 412DX Right-Hinged operator.
• Gate leaf hinged on your left: Install the FAAC 412SX Left-Hinged operator.

The DX and SX designations refer to the location of each gate leaf's hinges when viewed from the operator side, not simply the direction the gates swing.

Correct placement is important because the FAAC 412DX and 412SX use different motor housings. Installing an operator on the wrong gate leaf prevents the protective operator cover from fitting correctly.

What Comes with This Kit

• 2 FAAC 412 Operators: 1 DX for the right-hinged leaf and 1 SX for the left-hinged leaf
• 1 FAAC 455D Control Panel, 115V
• 1 Fiberglass Enclosure
• 1 Mounting Hardware and Adapters
• Not Included: Arm sleeves, photoeyes, receiver, remotes; sold separately

Conclusion

The FAAC 412 Dual-Swing Gate Operator Kit combines matched right- and left-hinged operators with a 455D control system for automating compatible residential bi-parting gates. Before installation, confirm that each gate leaf falls within the 412 size and weight specifications and install the DX and SX operators on their corresponding hinge sides. Gate design, mounting geometry, wind load, temperature, and overall gate condition can affect actual operating performance.
