How FAAC Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• FAAC 415 Low-Voltage Swing Arm - seized gearbox from water intrusion. The 415’s cast housing sits low on the gate, and Hialeah’s summer downpours plus lawn-sprinkler overspray push moisture past the gasket after five to seven years. We drain the housing, inspect the worm gear for pitting, and replace with either an OEM FAAC seal kit or a sealed aftermarket equivalent. We photograph the gear condition before we quote the repair.
• FAAC 770 Control Board - intermittent opening, no error code. The 770’s capacitor bank degrades in heat; Hialeah’s concrete driveways radiate upward and the board box often hits 140°F by mid-July. We test each cap with an ESR meter, replace the failed ones or the whole board depending on age, and add a vented sun shield if the mounting location bakes in direct afternoon light.
• FAAC 844 Slide-Gate Operator - chain jump or motor stall on cold mornings. The 844’s chain tensioner loosens as the nylon roller wears, especially on gates with a slight uphill track pitch common in Hialeah’s older Palm Avenue subdivisions. We measure chain sag, replace the tensioner assembly if it’s below spec, and re-square the gate to the track so the motor isn’t fighting lateral load.
• FAAC 402 Hydraulic Swing Unit - slow operation and oil weep at the cylinder. The 402’s hydraulic fluid breaks down faster in high humidity; we see this most on estate gates near the Country Club of Miami where the units work harder on longer, heavier leaves. We flush and refill with FAAC-spec oil, replace the rod seal if there’s weep, and test cycle count under load before we leave.
• FAAC Photocell Pair - false obstruction detection at dusk. The XP or XP D series photocells drift out of alignment when gate posts settle in Hialeah’s sandy loam, and ambient infrared from low sun angles triggers false stops. We realign with a laser level, shim the mounting bracket if the post has tilted, and swap to a through-beam model if tree canopy creates too much scatter.

Our FAAC Gate Repair Process

1. 1
   Call intake, live person. A human answers at (786) 458-8210, asks for your FAAC model number if you have it, and dispatches a technician with common FAAC parts already in the van.
2. 2
   On-site diagnosis with documentation. We test the control board, motor amp draw, limit switch position, and safety loop function. Every reading gets photographed and noted on the work order.
3. 3
   Written price under Haven Standard Clause 1. You get a flat price on paper before we pick up a tool. No hourly rate, no “plus materials” surprise.
4. 4
   Parts decision: OEM or quality aftermarket. We stock OEM FAAC boards, arms, and seal kits, and we carry tested aftermarket alternatives where they make sense. We tell you which we’re using and why.
5. 5
   Repair, test, and record. We cycle the gate twenty times under load, verify safety reverse on every obstacle class, and photograph the final limit-switch setting and any parts installed.
6. 6
   365-Day Done Right Promise activation. Your job record, with photos and part numbers, is filed. If anything’s not right within one year, we fix it at no charge.
