7. SAFEzone
Both boards control the new SAFEcoder Absolute Encoder via the BUS 2Easy input. 7

8. SAFEzone
Strong points of the SAFEcoder:
It enables the reverse on contact feature
It is directly fitted on the operator bracket (FAAC PATENT)
Backward-compatible: it can be fitted on existing systems without having to modify any fittings or installation dimensions.
It is able to find, automatically and with high accuracy, the deceleration and stop points, thus preventing the automated system from forcing against the stop point
If the stop points are set by hand there is no mechanical stops need
In the event of a power fault, the absolute encoder keeps the leaf position memorized, wherever it stopped, thus avoiding irregular cycles after special events.
Therefore it fully complies with the new Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC 8

9. GREEN TECH
Both boards have been designed to offer the highest energy efficiency (thanks to the switching power supply), resulting thus in a reduced current consumption and money saving.
The E145 board is furthermore able to operate at very low consumption conditions (Sleep) during standby.
Comparison between the top 230V boards of the 3 main competitors*
Test conditions: control board for 230V motors in standby, 2 pairs of photocells, radio receiver
* Competitor’s data are results of laboratory test 9

10. GREEN TECH
EXAMPLE: Saving of a 230V automated system with 2 leaves equipped with the new FAAC boards, 2 BUS photocells and radio receiver with respect to a traditional automated system of A competitor.

The money saved in the years can already justify a possible extra-cost on FAAC boards. 10

11. Connectivity
The E145 board features an expansion slot for connecting the GSM, Ethernet and WiFi modules.
With these modules the board can be remote-controlled via standard communication channels (i.e. internet) with the following related advantages:
The installer can offer top-class maintenance services thanks to the remote monitoring of the system and to the possibility of being informed by the board in the event of faults or if a certain number of cycles has been reached
Business customers can insert the automated system in their centralized control systems without having to use expensive interfaces, such PLCs.
The final residential customer can control his/her board using a smartphone or insert it in a Home Automation system. 11

12. Connectivity
The E145 board can be programmed by display or connected to a PC or a MAC. Using the simple and user-friendly EasyBoard programming software, you can choose whether to follow the Wizard guided installation or customize your system in all its parts.
It will be also possible to program the SLHP remote controls directly on the board without having to use the SLHP decoder (future development). 12

14. Retro-compatibility: E045 - Photocells
When replacing an electronic board with standard photocells already installed (e.g. 452MPS, 455D), with the E045, equipped with BUS input only, there are different solutions:
Replacing the old photocells with BUS photocells in order to increase the installation protection and efficiency: 2Easy BUS is FAAC proprietary and therefore is not compatible with competitor’s boards or accessories; moreover BUS photocells have an extreme power efficiency.
Use BUS XIB interface (cod ) that allow using standard input photocells with 2Easy BUS connection.
BUS XIB INTERFACE 14

15. Retro-compatibility: E045 – Radio receiver
Replacing an old electronic board (452MPS, 455D, etc.), the following cases, related to radio system, could happen:
CASE 1. External or wire-connected receiver
CASE 2. RP receiver plug-in (5 pin)
CASE 3. External receiver PLUS/PL with Decoder/Minidec plug-in (5 pin connector)
CASE 1. EXTERNAL OR WIRE-CONNECTED RECEIVER
Just wire the receiver to E045 connector
CASE 2 and 3. RP RECEIVER PLUG-IN (5 PIN) or EXTERNAL RECEIVER PLUS/PL WITH DECODER/MINIDEC PLUG-IN (5 PIN CONNECTOR)
Both cases have two solutions 15

16. Retro-compatibility: E045 – Radio receiver
Solution 1: eliminate RP receiver or external receiver + decoding board (e.g. PLUS + MINIDEC) and replace them with the XF module (3 pin) with the same frequency (433 or 868) of the old system
Re-program ONLY ONE transmitter SLH/DS or ALL the RC transmitters. Possibility to store transmitters on USB memory. RP
E045 16

17. Retro-compatibility: E045 – Radio receiver
Solution 2: keep RP receiver or external receiver + decoding board and plug it on the Interface Adaptor (cod ) in order to wire it to the E045
NO transmitters have to be re-programmed RP

Wire to E045 connector 17

18. Retro-compatibility: E145
The new E145 is equipped with both 2Easy BUS and standard photocell inputs (opening and closing), and both the OMNIDEC XF radio connector (3 pin) and RP connector (5 pin): any type of connection can be done.
Moreover 452MPS and 455D connectors are pin-to-pin compatible (all but the electro-lock one) with the E145 connectors; it is therefore even faster and easier replacing an old board with E145, because the wiring remain the same.
452MPS and 455D connectors pin-to-pin compatible
455D connector pin-to-pin compatible 18
