Hydraulic and electromechanical gate automation for swing, sliding and concealed applications.
Product and design guidance
FAAC’s portfolio includes above-ground hydraulic swing operators, underground swing systems and sliding automation. Select the exact operator from gate leaf length/weight, duty cycle, geometry, stops, wind, voltage and environmental conditions. Hydraulic reliability does not eliminate the need for a mechanically sound gate and compliant safety system.
- 400/related hydraulic swing operator geometry
- S800/underground operator drainage and foundation
- Sliding operator gate rack, track and travel
- Control board, encoder, locks, release and monitored safety devices
- Site survey, applicable codes and approved operating sequence
- Power, network/radio, standby and outage behavior

How to compare and specify this product family
For FAAC Hydraulic Swing, Slide and Underground Gate Operators, the right model and architecture depend on the site, existing infrastructure and operating policy. A proposal should clearly document the following vehicle gate and traffic-control system decisions before equipment is ordered:
- Gate type, weight, length and travel
- Daily cycles and peak traffic
- Monitored entrapment-protection devices
- Vehicle loops, photo eyes and safety edges
- Fire-department and emergency access
- Power, backup operation and preventive maintenance
Installation, testing and handoff
A site review verifies gate construction, travel, wind exposure, traffic flow, power and the required monitored safety devices before an operator is chosen. The final scope should identify controls, loops, photo eyes, edges, access-control interfaces, emergency operation and signage. Commissioning includes force and safety-device tests, access tests, operator limits, user training and a maintenance schedule. Existing gates may require mechanical correction before automation can be installed safely.

Official FAAC software, firmware and support
Use the manufacturer links below for current software, firmware, release notes, manuals and technical resources. Boston High Tech links directly to official manufacturer portals and does not copy or host firmware files.
Before installing an update: verify the exact model, region, hardware revision, current version, required intermediate releases, licensing or support entitlement, backup and rollback plan, integrations and maintenance window. An incorrect firmware package or upgrade sequence can interrupt service, invalidate compatibility or prevent a downgrade. Coordinate updates for monitored, life-safety-adjacent or business-critical systems with the system administrator and an authorized specialist.
Some resources require a customer, dealer, certified-technician or active-support login. Cloud-managed products may update automatically and may not provide a public firmware file.
