Page 6: Safety
Notes Safety 1.3.1 General safety advice This barrier is constructed and tested in order to guarantee sufficient safety when installed and when used according to the following safety regulations. The products have left our house free of faults. Still there can be risks involved when mounting or during later operation, if the product has been installed or used improperly. - Page 7 Notes 1.3.5 Installation and maintenance • All units must be connected according to our instructions. • Before opening the control unit the power supply must be disconnected. • In case of maintenance/repair work all command devices (radio, switches, push buttons, loops) must be deactivated, so that the barrier does not move uncontrollably.

Page 8: Service
Notes Service Barrier units are not maintenance free and therefore need regular inspection. Hereby the number and extent of the inspections depend on the frequency of use (number of cycles) and where the unit is placed and less on the time span since the previous inspection. The operator must keep an inspection record of all risks which describes and confirms the extent of the inspection. -

Notes Installation examples Example 1 Free exit Safety loop and loop for automatic opening of barrier. Distance between loops: 1.0m Example 2 Opening by means of switch / push button / card reader or safety loop. This installation represents an entry or an exit. Example 3 Safety loop. -
Page 12: Operation Description
Notes Operation description Operation of barrier Barriers are available in models Right / Left. The casing is made of welded sheet steel (apart from specific models) and is powder coated against corrosion. The drive unit and control are integrated into the casing and accessible by lifting off the hood and opening the service door. The drive motor is powered by the control and is fed by line voltage. -
Page 13: Operation Of Barrier (Straight Pole)
Notes Operation of barrier (straight pole) Barriers with straight barrier posts are available in different lengths. The straight pole moves from horizontal to the complete vertical position. Short barrier posts can be opened very quickly (1 second), long posts must be openend more slowly (3 / 6 seconds) in order to ensure lasting and safe operation of unit. -
Page 14: Installation
Notes Installation Foundation construction: barrier A stable position of the barrier casing is imperative. We recommend a foundation with the following minimum requirements. If there is a risk of frost, the foundation must be constructed in a way as to ensure protection against frost –... -
Page 15: Contact Loops (Induction Loops) - Description
Notes Contact loops (induction loops) – description A contact loop reacts to metal and is especially suitable for safe operation of barriers. The dimensions, number and installation of loops has to be executed with great care. Principally the following applies: •... -
Page 16: Installation Of Induction Loops - General
Notes Installation of induction loops – general The geometry has to be executed depending on unit: • The loop has to be positioned exactly underneath barrier pole. The barrier pole is positioned on the side of the barrier casing. • The monitored area for cars has to be at least 500mm on both sides. For trucks the loops have to be larger or a second safety loop must be installed. -
Page 17: Installation Of Induction Loops - Procedure
Notes Installation of induction loops – procedure Installation under asphalt or concrete: • Size and positioning of loop(s)has been decided upon. Mark positions on the ground and check again. • The corners of the loops are to be executed at an angle of 45°. See Illustrations. •... -
Page 18: Installation Of Operation Switches
Notes Installation of operation switches Operation/command devices must be placed such as to ensure easy access from inside the vehicle. They must be in direct visual contact with regard to barrier. Poorly placed switches and pillars represent possible safety hazards. Usage of Photocells Photocells are especially suitable as an alternative to a contact loop;... -
Page 19: Mounting
Notes Mounting Service door The included key (2 keys) is necessary to open the service door. It can be found in the accessory package which is included in the barrier’s transport packaging. On the inside of the service door the already pre- installed and partly wired control is situated. -

Notes Mounting the barrier (casing) Note: 2 people required! The necessary parts can be found in the accessory package included in the delivery contents of the barrier. 2x U-profiles 4x composite anchors Ø20mm x 110mm long • Indicate drillings for composite anchors and prebore •... -
Page 21: Adjusting The Length
Notes Adjusting the length The unmounted barrier pole is longer than actual barrier operation width. This width is always 270mm shorter. If a barrier pole support is used then operation width is decreased by about 100mm. The barrier pole cannot be shortened on the side of the drive but on the opposite end. The end cap can be removed and then the length of the pole can be adjusted. -
Page 22: Fixation And Setting Of Push Rod For Articulated Barrier
Notes 7.8.2 Adjusting the length The articulated pole can only be shortened at the end behind the articulated mechanism. All other parts are already adjusted to correct measurements ex works. Fixation and setting of push rod for articulated barriers Familiarize yourself with all parts of the push rod. See illustration. Attention: 2 people necessary! Adhere to the following course of action: •... -
Page 23: Spring Balance
Notes Spring balance The spring in the barrier equalizes the weight of the barrier pole. It is essential that the correct spring is combined with the correct barrier length. If the barrier pole is not balanced the unit does not work well, the barrier does not close/open completely and the life span is drastically shortened. Testing Release barrier and lift barrier pole manually and let go in the following different positions: 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°. -
Page 24: Removing The Spring
Notes Removing the spring Attention: if the spring is to be exchanged in one operational step then follow the steps below. If unit is left unmonitored without spring then the barrier must be closed and secured against being opened – or the barrier pole must be dismantled. The power supply must be cut thus preventing the barrier from being operated. -
Page 25: Electric Connection
Notes Electric connection The barrier must be connected to grounded mains. The connection must be executed professionally and must comply with the relevant norms and guidelines of the installation site. The offered models are partially wired ex works in their standard versions. Special edition models may differ from this pattern and may include other controls. -
