Installation and Operations Manual — Model 400E Series
1. Inspect the site and verify there are no underground utilities or overhead
wires or obstructions in the excavation area.
2. Make sure that there is adequate free area adjacent to the motor stanchion's
installation location so that the vehicle barrier gate can be slid onto the
stanchion after the stanchion is cemented in place.
2.2 Typical Installation of the Main and Receiver Stanchions
Perform the following steps to install the main and receiver stanchions. (Always refer to your
submittal for your specifications.)
2.2.1 Excavate the holes for the stanchions as shown in the Foundation Drawings
supplied in your submittal. (See drawings section). Place the stanchions in
the excavation holes. A partial pour or concrete footing, is acceptable to
assist in location.
2.2.2 Install the axles for the roller wheels in the appropriate holes (if not
previously installed) in the stanchions and tighten the setscrews against the
flats on the axles. Tighten the setscrews securely, and use a locking
compound on the setscrews threads if available.
NOTE: It is critical that the axle nuts are secure prior to the gate beam
installation.
2.2.3 The center of the axles must be 31-¾ inches above the roadbed height at the
roadbed's highest point. If wheels are factory installed make sure the tops of
the wheels are 35-¾ inches above the roadbed. Adjust the stanchion's
position in the excavation to bring the axles to the correct height. Use a
transit to level all four points (the top of the end of each axle or wheel) and
make any final adjustments in the positions of the stanchions so that the
transit is reading within 1/32
CRITICAL THAT THE SHAFTS ARE LEVEL for the gate to function
properly. Verify also that the stanchions are plumb and level. Verify drive
stanchion is also aligned to where the receiver stanchion shall be located.
Use the center of the axles as a reference to align the receiver stanchion.
2.2.4 Ensure all required conduits are in place. Conduits may be required for
traffic lights, loop detectors, and other options. The project submittal may
provide detail as to the final conduit requirements for your installation.
2.2.5 Place a partial pour of concrete into the excavation holes to lock the
stanchions in place. Use a transit to verify the stanchions remain level and
plumb.
2.2.6 Rough in the conduits. All conduits, fittings, sweeps, and couplings must be
electrical grade (gray color); do not use plumbing type (white color). All
conduits are run to the control unit.
