Description
The FAAC 415 24V – Part No. 1044151 is a powerful and reliable electromechanical linear operator designed for automating residential and light-commercial swing gates.
Using a 24Vdc brushed motor and FAAC’s proven in-axis linear drive system, the 415 delivers up to 2800N of maximum thrust while providing smooth, controlled gate movement. The 24V platform is particularly suited to installations requiring frequent operation, enhanced electronic safety control and the option of battery backup.
The standard 415 24V features a 300mm stroke and is suitable for individual gate leaves up to 2.5 metres without an electric lock, or up to 3 metres when an appropriate electric lock is fitted.
🚪 Designed for Swing Gate Automation
The FAAC 415 is a linear operator mounted between the gate post and gate leaf.
As the internal screw drive extends or retracts, the operator moves the gate between its open and closed positions. Its slim in-axis design provides a neat installation without the bulky articulated arms required by some other types of swing gate operators.
Typical applications include:
- Residential driveway gates
- Single swing gates
- Double swing gates
- Steel gates
- Aluminium gates
- Open-style gates
- Suitable clad gates
- Residential and light-commercial entrances
Correct operator selection should always consider the gate dimensions, construction, hinge geometry and wind exposure.
⚡ 24Vdc Motor Technology
The 415 24V uses a brushed 24Vdc motor with a maximum power rating of 70W.
The low-voltage motor allows a compatible FAAC control board to precisely manage the movement of the operator and provides greater flexibility for safety and automation functions.
The 24V platform also allows compatible battery backup equipment to be incorporated into the gate automation system.
💪 Powerful 2800N Maximum Thrust
The FAAC 415 24V develops a maximum expressed force of 2800N.
This provides substantial operating force from a relatively compact linear operator and makes the 415 suitable for a wide range of residential swing gate applications.
The gate must still be correctly installed, aligned and operating freely. An automatic gate operator should not be used to compensate for damaged hinges, excessive friction or an incorrectly constructed gate.
📏 Gate Leaves up to 2.5 Metres
The standard FAAC 415 24V is suitable for individual swing gate leaves up to 2.5 metres long without requiring an electric lock.
For gate leaves over 2.5 metres and up to a maximum of 3 metres, FAAC specifies that an appropriate electric lock must be installed.
This makes the standard 415 24V suitable for many common residential driveway gate configurations.
📐 300mm Operator Stroke
The standard FAAC 415 24V features a 300mm rod stroke.
This distinguishes it from the longer FAAC 415 L 24V, which uses a 400mm stroke and is designed for larger gate leaves.
The standard 415 24V is specified for:
- Up to 2.5m gate leaves without an electric lock
- Up to 3m gate leaves with an electric lock
The 415 L 24V extends this capability to:
- Up to 3m without an electric lock
- Up to 4m with an electric lock
🔄 Up to 110° Opening Angle
The FAAC 415 24V supports a maximum gate leaf opening angle of up to 110°, subject to the installation geometry and mounting dimensions.
This provides flexibility for driveway entrances where an opening greater than the conventional 90° position is required.
The achievable opening angle depends on the relationship between the hinge position and the front and rear operator mounting points.
♾️ Continuous-Use 24V Operator
A significant advantage of the 24V version of the FAAC 415 is its continuous-use rating.
FAAC specifies the 415 24V for continuous use, compared with the 230V version which carries an S3 30% duty rating.
This makes the 24V version particularly attractive for installations where the gate may operate more frequently throughout the day.
🔇 Smooth & Controlled Movement
The FAAC 415 is designed to provide quiet and smooth swing gate movement.
When used with compatible FAAC electronic control equipment, slowdown functionality can provide more controlled movement as the gate approaches the end of its travel.
FAAC notes that this smoother movement can also help preserve the mechanical structure of the gate.
🛡️ Electronic Safety Control
When paired with an appropriate FAAC 24V control board, the 415 can form part of a sophisticated electronically controlled gate automation system.
FAAC identifies the 415 24V as compatible with its SAFEzone system when paired with suitable control equipment, allowing electronic safety management to be incorporated into the automation.
External safety devices such as photoelectric safety beams should also be selected according to the gate layout and applicable installation requirements.
👁️ Safety Beam Compatible
Compatible FAAC control boards allow photoelectric safety beams to be incorporated into a 415 automation system.
Safety beams provide non-contact obstruction detection by monitoring an infrared beam across or around the gate opening.
Depending on the control board and configuration, safety beams can be used to protect areas affected during:
- Gate closing
- Gate opening
- Opening and closing
- Vehicle movement through the entrance
FAAC’s example 415 24V installation includes a pair of FAAC photocells as part of the complete automation system.
🔋 Battery Backup Compatible
The 24Vdc platform provides the ability to add emergency battery backup when the appropriate compatible control board and battery equipment are used.
FAAC lists the XBAT 24 emergency battery kit as an accessory for the 415 24V system.
Battery backup can allow the automatic gate to retain operation during a mains power failure, making it particularly useful where the driveway gate is the property’s primary vehicle access point.
🔑 Manual Release
The FAAC 415 incorporates a key-operated manual release system.
If automatic operation is unavailable due to a power failure, equipment fault or maintenance requirement, the operator can be released so the gate can be moved manually.
FAAC supplies the 415 24V operator with its release key.
🌧️ IP54 Weather Protection
The FAAC 415 is designed specifically for external swing gate installations and carries an IP54 protection rating.
FAAC specifies an operating ambient temperature range from -20°C to +55°C.
The operator also features a horizontal cable exit, allowing installation relatively close to ground level where required.
📐 Installation Geometry
Correct installation geometry is extremely important with any linear swing gate operator.
The position of the gate hinge in relation to the mounting brackets determines the operator travel, opening angle and mechanical leverage throughout the gate’s movement.
Before installation, consideration should be given to:
- Gate post dimensions
- Hinge position
- Required opening angle
- Rear mounting position
- Front mounting position
- Operator clearance
- Gate construction
- Mechanical opening and closing stops
The mounting dimensions specified in the FAAC installation instructions should be followed when determining the correct operator position.
🧱 Heavy & Solid Gates
Gate leaf length is only one factor when determining whether the FAAC 415 is suitable for a particular installation.
Solid or heavily clad swing gates can experience substantial wind loading, particularly on exposed properties.
For these applications, consideration should also be given to:
- Finished gate weight
- Gate leaf length
- Percentage of solid infill
- Wind exposure
- Hinge condition and capacity
- Gate frame rigidity
- Post construction
- Operator mounting geometry
Large solid gates in highly exposed locations should be professionally assessed before selecting an automation system.
🔒 Electric Lock Applications
An electric lock can be incorporated into a compatible FAAC 415 automation system where additional closed-gate security or mechanical restraint is required.
For the standard 415 24V, FAAC requires an electric lock when the gate leaf exceeds 2.5 metres, allowing the operator to be used on leaves up to 3 metres.
An electric lock may also be beneficial on shorter gates where wind loading or installation conditions warrant additional mechanical locking.
🚶 Pedestrian Opening
When connected to an appropriate FAAC control board, the 415 system can provide pedestrian opening functionality.
On a double swing gate, this can allow a single leaf to be opened independently rather than opening the entire driveway entrance.
FAAC identifies pedestrian opening and automatic re-closing among the functions available through compatible control systems used with the 415.
🧠 Control Board Required
The FAAC 415 24V operator does not contain its own electronic control board.
A compatible external FAAC control board is required to operate and manage the automation system. FAAC’s technical specifications explicitly list the electronic equipment as not included with the individual operator.
The control board is responsible for managing functions such as:
- Motor operation
- Single or double gate configuration
- Opening and closing logic
- Pedestrian opening
- Automatic closing
- Safety devices
- Radio receiver commands
- Accessory inputs
- Battery backup, where supported
📡 Receiver & Remotes Sold Separately
A radio receiver and compatible transmitters are also required if remote-control operation is desired.
FAAC’s example 415 24V installation shows the operator used with an XF 433MHz receiver and compatible FAAC transmitter.
The receiver and remotes are not included with the individual 1044151 operator unless specifically stated as part of a separate kit or bundle.
🔧 Suitable for Single or Double Swing Gates
The 415 24V can be used for either single or double swing gate automation.
A single swing gate normally requires one operator, while a conventional double swing gate requires two operators.
Both operators are then managed by the compatible FAAC control board as one coordinated automation system.
