Description
FAAC S800H ENC CBAC 24V 110° Underground Hydraulic Operator – 108720
The FAAC S800H ENC is a premium 24V underground hydraulic swing gate operator designed for demanding residential, strata and light-commercial gate automation.
Combining FAAC hydraulic technology with a 24Vdc motor and absolute magnetic encoder, the S800H ENC delivers powerful, smooth and precise gate movement while remaining concealed beneath the gate.
Part number 108720 is the S800H ENC CBAC 100° version, providing an actual maximum opening angle of approximately 113°, hydraulic locking in both opening and closing, continuous-duty operation and a maximum gate leaf capacity of 800kg.
FAAC Part Number: 108720
💧 24V Hydraulic Technology
The S800H ENC combines FAAC’s proven hydraulic technology with a modern 24Vdc motor.
This hybrid design provides the durability and smooth operation associated with hydraulic automation while allowing advanced electronic safety and movement control through compatible FAAC 24V control equipment.
The result is a robust underground operator particularly suited to gates requiring frequent operation.
↔️ Up to 113° Gate Opening
The 108720 is officially designated by FAAC as the S800H ENC CBAC 100°.
When installed within the required geometry, FAAC specifies a maximum opening angle of approximately 113°.
This makes the operator suitable for conventional 90° to 110° swing gate applications while retaining some additional available travel for installation and adjustment.
For applications requiring substantially greater gate travel, a separate 180° S800H ENC version is available.
🔒 CBAC Hydraulic Locking
Part number 108720 is the CBAC version of the S800H ENC.
CBAC provides hydraulic locking in both:
- Opening
- Closing
The hydraulic system therefore resists movement of the gate when the operator is stopped.
FAAC specifies the CBAC versions for gate leaves up to 2 metres long.
🧲 Absolute Magnetic Encoder
The S800H ENC incorporates an absolute magnetic encoder with FAAC BUS 2easy technology.
The encoder provides accurate gate position information to compatible FAAC control equipment and supports advanced functions including:
- Electronic anti-crushing protection
- Obstacle detection
- Reverse on obstacle
- Accurate gate position monitoring
- Electronic slowdown
- Controlled gate movement
The BUS 2easy encoder connects using only two non-polarised wires.
Because the encoder is absolute, the gate position remains memorised even following a power interruption.
💪 Gates Up to 800kg
The S800H ENC is engineered for substantial swing gates.
For the 108720 CBAC version, FAAC specifies:
- Maximum gate leaf weight: 800kg
- Maximum gate leaf length: 2m
- Minimum applicable gate leaf length: approximately 0.7m
- Continuous-duty operation
Actual suitability depends on the complete gate installation, including gate construction, hinges, wind loading and installation geometry.
♾️ Continuous-Duty Operation
FAAC rates the S800H ENC for continuous use.
Its combination of hydraulic drive and a 24Vdc motor makes it particularly suitable for applications requiring frequent gate operation.
Typical applications include:
- Residential driveways
- Shared residential entrances
- Strata properties
- Apartment entrances
- Light-commercial entrances
- High-frequency access gates
- Architectural gate installations
🛑 Integrated Positive Stops
The S800H ENC incorporates FAAC’s patented adjustable positive mechanical stops.
These allow the opening and closing positions to be established directly within the operator, potentially eliminating the need for separate mechanical gate stops installed on the driveway.
This provides a particularly clean solution for architectural and premium underground gate installations.
⚡ Powerful 24Vdc Motor
The S800H ENC uses a brushed 24Vdc electric motor with a maximum power rating of 60W.
Performance varies according to the compatible FAAC control equipment used.
FAAC specifies:
- Maximum torque with E024S: 500Nm
- Maximum torque with E124/E124S: 600Nm
- Maximum angular speed with E024S: 5.5°/sec
- Maximum angular speed with E124/E124S: 8.2°/sec
This allows the operator’s movement characteristics to be configured through the selected FAAC control system.
🔋 Battery Backup Compatible
The 24Vdc drive system allows battery backup operation when used with compatible FAAC control equipment and batteries.
This can allow the gate automation system to continue operating during a mains power failure without immediately requiring manual release.
Battery backup equipment is separate unless specifically included as part of a complete automation package.
🌧️ IP67 Underground Protection
The S800H ENC is specifically designed for underground installation and carries an IP67 protection rating.
The operator is installed within a compatible FAAC S800H foundation box positioned beneath the gate hinge.
Correct foundation preparation and drainage remain essential for reliable long-term operation of any underground gate automation system.
🏗️ Discreet Underground Installation
Because the operator is installed beneath the gate, the S800H ENC provides an extremely discreet finished appearance.
This makes it particularly suitable for:
- Architectural gates
- Decorative steel gates
- Premium residential entrances
- Heritage-style gates
- Commercial entrances
- Installations where visible gate operators are undesirable
🔓 Manual Release Options
FAAC provides dedicated hydraulic release equipment for the S800H operator.
The manual release system allows the hydraulic drive to be released so the gate can be manually moved when required.
The applicable hydraulic release device and splined joint components are separate accessories and should be selected according to the installation configuration.

⚠️ Please Note
This listing is for FAAC part number 108720, the S800H ENC CBAC 100° 24V underground hydraulic operator.
Although FAAC designates this as the 100° version, the technical specification provides a maximum opening angle of approximately 113°. It is therefore commonly suitable for applications requiring approximately 90–110° of gate opening.
This is the CBAC version with hydraulic locking in both opening and closing.
The maximum gate leaf length for this CBAC version is 2 metres. The 4 metre specification associated with the S800H ENC range applies to the non-locking SBW versions.
The foundation box, electronic control board, hydraulic release system, radio receiver, transmitters, photocells, battery backup equipment and other system accessories are separate unless specifically included as part of a package.
Correct foundation preparation and drainage are essential when installing an underground gate operator.
Maximum gate dimensions are manufacturer limits and do not automatically mean every gate within those dimensions is suitable. Gate construction, wind loading, hinge condition, operating geometry and frequency of use must also be considered.
