Gate Operator Short Set FAAC Alfa 414 for 6 m Dual Gate, FAAC 5170222

Short Set FAAC Alfa 414 is a compact gate operator kit designed for automating dual-leaf swing gates with a combined span of up to 6 m. The set is intended for installations where a shorter arm or limited pillar space is required, providing controlled opening and closing of residential or light-commercial gates. The Alfa 414 mechanism is engineered for frequent use with a focus on compact dimensions and straightforward mechanical integration.

Advantages

The compact design of the Alfa 414 short set allows installation where standard long-arm actuators would not fit, reducing the need for extensive pillar modification. Its construction supports reliable gate movement with consistent stroke control and adjustable operating parameters. The kit minimizes visual impact on the gate while maintaining functional strength appropriate for two-leaf swing gates up to 6 m in total width.

Suitable for

• Residential dual-leaf swing gates with a total width up to 6 m
• Light-commercial properties requiring compact actuator installation
• Locations with limited pillar or hinge clearance where short-arm mounting is necessary
• Retrofit projects replacing manual or oversized actuators with a compact solution

Key specifications

• Configuration: dual-leaf (two-wing) swing gate kit
• Maximum total gate span: up to 6 meters
• Actuator type: short-arm linear actuator designed for compact installation
• Application: residential and light-commercial gate automation
• Installation: suited for limited pillar depth or restricted hinge positions

How to use

Install the Alfa 414 short set according to the gate geometry and manufacturer instructions, positioning the short-arm actuators on the gate leaves and fixed pillars to achieve correct stroke and clearance. Connect the actuators to the control unit and power supply following local electrical codes, then set the mechanical end stops and adjustment screws to calibrate opening and closing travel. Perform functional tests to confirm smooth movement, correct obstruction detection, and synchronized operation of both leaves before regular use.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, ensure the gate structure and hinges are in good condition and properly aligned prior to installation. Use routine visual inspections and periodic maintenance to check fastenings, lubrication points, and electrical connections. If the installation site has heavy wind exposure or oversized leaves, evaluate gate balance and consider additional reinforcement or a different actuator class.
