The FAAC 390 is a 24V articulated-arm swing gate operator that bolts to the pillar, rated in the US for leaves up to 14 ft and 600 lb. We diagnose and repair 390 operators and their E024U control board, including ones we didn't install, starting with the error code the board is already flashing.

The E024U board reports faults by the number of flashes on its ERROR light.
1 flash: obstacle detection.
2 flashes: board in sleep mode.
3 flashes: motor 1 failure.
4 flashes: motor 2 failure.
5 flashes: encoder error on motor 1 or motor 2.
6 flashes: fail-safe failed.
7 flashes: board thermal protection active.
8 flashes: maximum run time reached without finding the positive stop (10 minutes).
The SET-UP light blinks slowly when a set-up is needed and quickly while a set-up is in progress.
Most 390 faults are repairable. The board names the failed circuit, and the board, batteries, release and arm can each be replaced on their own. Replacement makes sense when the gearmotor has failed late in the unit's life, or when the leaf is heavier or longer than the 390 is rated for: 600 lb and 14 ft on the US version. A leaf past that rating needs an operator sized for it, not another repair.
Where the pillar can't meet the 390's bracket dimensions, or the leaf is beyond its rating, the usual alternatives are a surface-mounted swing operator on the inside of the gate line, or an underground operator such as the FAAC 770N where the gate must stay visually clean and the site drains well. We confirm the geometry on site before recommending either.
The 390 is a current FAAC product, and the US version runs on the E024U control board. We confirm the exact board, battery or release part for your unit before we schedule the repair.
Scoped to your property, not a flat per-item rate. These are the factors that move the number, in the order they usually matter. The estimate is free.
Veritas Access Solutions repairs FAAC 390 operators across Los Angeles, Ventura and Kern counties, including operators another company installed. We read the board's error code, diagnose on site and give you a written diagnosis before any work. Call 661-605-3266, or text a photo of the operator.
Usually obstacle detection. The board reverses the gate when it senses an obstacle, and after a second one in a row it stops the gate and ignores further commands. A real obstruction, a binding hinge or a torque setting that is too low all cause it. One flash of the red ERROR light confirms it.
Repair, in most cases. The board names the failed circuit, and the board, batteries, release and arm can each be replaced on their own. Replace the operator when the gearmotor has failed late in its life, or the leaf is beyond its rating of 600 lb and 14 ft on the US version.
On the E024U board the red ERROR light flashes a count: 1 obstacle detection, 2 board in sleep mode, 3 motor 1 failure, 4 motor 2 failure, 5 encoder error, 6 fail-safe failed, 7 thermal protection active, 8 maximum run time reached. A slowly blinking SET-UP light means the board needs a set-up.
Yes. We check the arm against FAAC's installation dimensions, the board settings, the batteries and the safety devices before quoting, whoever installed it.
It depends on the fault, whether the board or the gearmotor has failed, the condition of the batteries and how the operator is mounted. We price after an on-site diagnosis rather than over the phone, and the estimate is free.
FAAC recommends checking the motor torque, the release and the safety devices at least every six months, and testing the gate operator monthly.
Based in Santa Clarita, dispatched across Los Angeles, Ventura and Kern counties.
