The drawing be- low shows the dimensions and methods for laying them both. Dimensions in mm. Fig. 7 The dimensions of the barrier rod obviously depend on many different factors: lane width, gate height (in case of on-site installations with cover), etc. We advise you to determine the size of this element, so that it can move freely. Fig. 5 2.4.2 FASTENING Ticket Reader and/or 620 Barrier • Using a level, check if the foundation plate is perfectly hori- zontal before installing. • Secure the upright to the plate with suitable nuts and washers. • Position the Ticket Reader so that it (laser scanner) is not directly exposed to luminous radiation, which could be source of disturbance during reading. 2.5 COMPONENT DIMENSIONS The following pictures show the dimensions in millimetres of the main lane equipment.
