FAAC DELTA 2 Start Kit – 740 Sliding Gate Operator – 10563093
The FAAC DELTA 2 Start Kit is a 230V electromechanical sliding gate automation package designed for residential sliding gates weighing up to 500kg.
Built around the proven FAAC 740 E Z16 sliding gate operator, the DELTA 2 Start Kit combines the gearmotor, integrated electronic control unit and foundation plate into a convenient starting package for a new sliding gate automation installation.
The FAAC 740 features a non-reversing gearbox, magnetic limit switching and integrated electronic control, providing reliable automation for residential driveway gates.
FAAC Part Number: 10563093
📦 DELTA 2 Start Kit
FAAC officially lists part number 10563093 as the DELTA 2 Start Kit 230V.
The kit includes:
- 1 × FAAC 740 E Z16 Gearmotor
- 1 × Incorporated Electronic Control Unit
- 1 × Foundation Plate
Additional installation accessories such as gate rack, receiver, transmitters, photocells and flashing light are separate unless specifically stated as included.
🚪 Sliding Gates Up to 500kg
The FAAC DELTA 2 Start Kit is designed for residential sliding gates weighing up to:
- Maximum gate leaf weight: 500kg
- Maximum gate leaf length: 15m
Actual suitability depends on the gate construction, rolling resistance, track condition, wheels, alignment, wind loading and frequency of operation.
⚡ 230V FAAC 740 E Z16 Gearmotor
At the heart of the DELTA 2 Start Kit is the FAAC 740 E Z16 electromechanical sliding gate operator.
The 740 uses a robust single-phase asynchronous motor combined with a non-reversing reduction gearbox.
Key specifications include:
- 220–240V AC power supply
- 350W maximum power
- 18Nm maximum torque
- 450N maximum expressed force
- 1:25 reduction ratio
- Z16 Module 4 drive pinion
🏎️ 12 Metres Per Minute
The FAAC 740 E Z16 provides a gate travel speed of approximately:
- 12 metres per minute
This provides a practical balance between opening speed and controlled movement for residential sliding gate applications.
🔁 30% Duty Cycle
FAAC specifies a 30% use frequency for the DELTA 2 Start Kit.
This makes the system particularly suited to:
- Residential driveway gates
- Private homes
- Small shared residential entrances
- Light-use strata applications
For substantially higher traffic applications, a higher-duty FAAC sliding gate operator should be considered.
🧠 Integrated Electronic Control Unit
The FAAC 740 E incorporates its electronic control unit directly within the gearmotor housing.
This provides central control of the sliding gate automation system without requiring a separate external control enclosure.
Programmable functions include operating logic, pause time, motor force, braking, slowdown, partial opening and safety device management.
🛑 Encoder-Based Obstacle Detection
The FAAC 740 incorporates an encoder system which allows the control electronics to monitor movement of the drive system.
When correctly configured, this provides functions including:
- Electronic obstacle detection
- Reverse on obstacle
- Electronic anti-crushing protection
- Controlled slowdown
- Partial opening management
Appropriate external safety devices must still be installed according to the requirements of the complete gate automation system.
🧲 Magnetic Limit Switches
The FAAC 740 uses magnetic opening and closing limit switches.
Magnetic stops installed on the gate rack activate the internal limit sensor as the gate reaches its programmed opening and closing positions.
The contact-free magnetic system provides reliable position detection without conventional mechanically actuated limit switches.
🔒 Non-Reversing Gearbox
The FAAC 740 uses a non-reversing reduction gearbox.
When the motor is stationary, the gearbox prevents the gate from being freely pushed open manually.
A separate electric lock is therefore generally not required for a standard FAAC 740 installation.
🔓 Manual Release
The FAAC 740 incorporates a key-protected manual release mechanism.
During a power failure, system fault or servicing requirement, the operator can be disengaged to allow the sliding gate to be manually opened and closed.
⚙️ Z16 Module 4 Drive Pinion
The FAAC 740 E Z16 is fitted with a:
- Z16 drive pinion
- Module 4 rack profile
The pinion engages with compatible Module 4 gate rack installed along the sliding gate.
Correct rack installation, alignment and pinion clearance are essential for reliable and quiet operation.
🧱 Foundation Plate Included
Unlike purchasing the individual operator alone, the FAAC DELTA 2 Start Kit includes the foundation plate required for mounting the 740 gearmotor.
The foundation plate provides the mounting interface between the operator and the prepared concrete foundation.
Correct positioning and levelling of the foundation plate is essential for proper alignment between the operator pinion and gate rack.
🌦️ Outdoor Gate Automation
The FAAC 740 is designed specifically for external sliding gate automation.
FAAC specifies:
- Protection rating: IP44
- Operating temperature: -20°C to +55°C
- Motor thermal protection: 140°C
The operator should be installed on a suitable foundation with appropriate drainage and electrical protection.
