  • Page 3: Introduction, Operation

    A typical four-quadrant installation will include two standard S-40 mechanisms and two S-40EXIT mechanisms. The Exit gate is designed to raise the arm in a loss of power condition clearing the exit portion of the crossing. This differs from the standard gate which is designed to lower the arm in a loss-of-power condition blocking access to the crossing.

    Operating Current: Up = 6 – 15 A @ 12 VDC, Down = 6 – 15 A @ 12 VDC. Circuit Breaker 7 Amp Auto-reset. TANDARD EATURES Makeup of the S-40EXIT Gate Mechanism – Internal: • Relay panel assembly complete with down rate resistors and over-speed control. • Auto-reset circuit breaker motor protection.

    OUNDATIONS Prefabricated galvanized steel or poured concrete may be used for the foundation. When using Safetran’s galvanized steel foundation, part number 035903-500X, be sure bottom of excavation is flat and level to insure full support to the base plate. Backfill should be compacted, with height of exposure above ground limited to 4 inches.

    12. Set horizontal torque and arm height. Set horizontal torque to 100 ± 20 foot-pounds at counterweight side per instructions on page 10. Note: The default-up requirement of the model S-40EXIT gate requires counterweight heavy installation. Set arm height by rotating contact cam #7 and operating gate with down control.

  • Page 10: Circuit Controller Adjustment

    IRCUIT ONTROLLER DJUSTMENT Five spring contacts are provided on a standard mechanism assembly. An additional contact can be furnished if required. Three contacts are required for gate operation (position 7, 8 & 11) and two contacts (position 9 & 10) are factory adjusted and may be used as indicated in the table below. Contacts are factory set as shown below.
  • Page 11: Spring Buffer Adjustment

    UFFER DJUSTMENT The model S-40EXIT gate mechanism is equipped with adjustable spring buffers to back up the horizontal and vertical gate arm positioning. They are factory-adjusted for 1/32" clearance between the buffer and segment gear; however, if the gate arm is repositioned they will require readjustment as shown below.
  • Page 12: Counterweight Guidelines

    --NOTE: If using a gate protection device, refer to counterweight tables Appendix A. Counterweights can be mounted on a single counterweight support arm for arms up to 22'. Longer arms require counterweight supports on both sides of the mechanism. Counterweight Requirement Model S-40EXIT (Standard arms, conversion bracket and adapter) Counterweights...

    #070981-X ORQUE RENCH Safetran’s Torque Wrench Kit permits torque measurements to be taken from the ½ inch hexagon end of the motor shaft providing a simpler method than that of using a spring scale on the arm. The kit also supplies ratchets for hand cranking the gate mechanism. The torque wrench is calibrated for both inch-pound and foot-pound readings through the 240 to 1 gear ratio to the ½...
  • Page 15: Maintenance Switch Operation

    AINTENANCE WITCH PERATION The Maintenance Switch (patent no. 5,852,350) consists of a push button switch and operating relay as part of the relay panel located in the upper left area of the gate cabinet, and a stop bar assembly located at the motor end of the gear train.
  • Page 16: Maintenance Stop Bar Application

    AINTENANCE PPLICATION AINTENANCE OSITION Position Stop Bar with key-slot over pivot lug. When counterweights are fully raised, rotate Stop Bar up against motor pinion teeth as shown and release the maintenance switch push button. Stan- dard EYSLOT IVOT TORAGE OSITION Remove Stop Bar, rotate it and place the key-slot over the lower motor mount bolt head, then rotate up with the notch under the pivot lug as shown.

    ENERAL AINTENANCE Model S-40EXIT gate mechanisms have self lubricating bearings on the main shaft, gear shafts and on the auxiliary sidewalk arm shaft when so equipped. No lubrication is required. Gears should be coated with a thin film of all temperature grease, such as Aeroshell 7, at 3 to 6 month intervals depending on number of gate operations.
