Possible Causes
Blown main fuse, Damaged transformer from surge, Tripped external breaker, Loose mains connection in FAAC terminal block
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off the breaker before opening the unit. Use a non-contact tester to confirm power is off.
- Check external power: Verify the breaker or fuse feeding the opener has not tripped. Reset if necessary.
- Inspect internal fuse: Open the FAAC housing and locate the main fuse. Replace with the same rating if blown.
- Check mains terminals: Ensure the live, neutral, and earth wires are securely clamped in the FAAC terminal block.
- Test transformer: If comfortable and qualified, measure the transformer output. No output indicates a failed transformer that must be replaced.
If multiple components appear damaged after a surge, replacing the entire control board assembly is often more economical.
