SECTION 2 PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION 2.4. Hardware unpacking When unpacking the SECTOR II, neccessary harware can be found attached to the enclosure. The hardware is as follows: FIGURE 4. PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION - HARDWARE 1. M8 Nuts 4. Hold down bracket (for boom pole retainer) 5.
3. Physical Installation 3.1. Orientation of the SECTOR II The SECTOR II can be installed in different configurations. It is important to fully understand the site requirements before purchasing the unit. The following steps detail the differences between the orientations: Step 1 Look at the site and decide where the unit will be positioned.
SECTION 3 PHYSICAL INSTALLATION 3.2. Preparation of the Cabinet Plinth It is assumed that all details discussed in the document “SECTOR II pre-installation buyers' guide” are complete and physical installation of the system onsite is about to start. If Section 5 of the Pre-installation Buyers' guide has not been followed, for convenience we have repeated what is requires to prepare the plinth before mounting the cabinet.

The S-SERIES electronic controller utilises the same proven surge protection philosophy that is used in all products from Centurion Systems (Pty) Ltd. While this does not guarantee that the unit will not be damaged in the event of a lightning strike or power surge, it greatly reduces the likelihood of such damage occurring.

INSTALLATION HANDOVER Standard installation is now complete At this point, a simple installation of a SECTOR II has been completed. Should the installation require other adjustments to be made to the standard settings, these can be found from Section 7 onwards. We recommend that these menus be carefully considered and adjustments applied to the installation, if required.
7. Advanced Controller Setup Setting up additional features for the SECTOR II barrier The SECTOR II navigation map (Section 7.1), provides the full menu of features that can be set up on the system. A brief explanation of each feature is provided under each menu heading. When setting up additional features, all the stages that have to be followed are clearly provided via the display.

Lowered, Raising, Raised, etc), or set of states, to an external device. The purpose of this is to signal the operating condition of the SECTOR II barrier to some external piece of equipment (e.g. Interlocked access control equipment such as another barrier or a gate operator, programmable logic controllers, alarm systems, etc).

Menu 9 - Ticket Vendor Interlock (TVI) Output The Ticket Vendor Interlock feature provides an interlocking mechanism between a ticket vending machine, and the SECTOR II barrier. In the interlock configuration, the ticket vending equipment activates the barrier when a ticket for access is validly issued. The barrier now needs to interlock (prevent) further tickets from being issued while the barrier is raised.
Page 37
TABLE 6 9.3 TVI Output Polarity The SECTOR II can be used with various ticket vending equipment. To accommodate this flexibility, the polarity of the interlock signal can be reversed in situations where the ticket vending equipment is not directly compatible in the standard configuration of the interlock signal.

SECTION 7 ADVANCED CONTROLLER SETUP 10.1 Courtesy Light Status The courtesy light feature can be turned ON or OFF, independent of any other settings associated with the feature. The courtesy light feature is turned off by default. If the feature is turned OFF, the physical output associated with the feature (configured in Menu 10.2) will be driven to, and remain in, an inactive state.

8. The model designation of the barrier is an indication of the maximum length of pole for the specific spring. In other words, SECTOR II 3m = maximum 3m pole; SECTOR II 4.5m = maximum 4.5m pole, etc. In other words, if you wish to fit a 4.5m pole, a SECTOR II 4.5m/6m with corresponding spring must be used.

APPENDICES 10.3. Appendix 3. Adjusting limits for Fail-safe Mode The standard SECTOR II is supplied in Fail-safe Mode, meaning that the boom can be moved from the raised or lowered positions without requiring a manual override. Alternatively, the operator can be configured so that, when mains power is present, the boom pole cannot be lifted or forced down but, in the event of a power-failure, the pole can be operated by hand.

SECTION 10 APPENDICES 10.6.4. Uni-directional traffic The free-exit function allows vehicles to exit a facility by automatically raising the barrier. It is recommended that an inductive loop detector be used to activate the free-exit facility. Infrared beams can be used for this function but a loop detector is preferred. The free-exit loop will raise the barrier and the closing loop will be used to lower the barrier the moment the vehicle has exited.
