Page 13: Operating The Mbe* Barrier Gate
Operation Instructions Notice: With all MIB35 barriers 8mm Nylon hex nuts are provided to mount the gate arm to the flange. This break away feature is only available for gate arms up to 12 ft. For barrier arm length exceeding 12 ft it is not recommended to use any material other then the provided 8mm steel hex nuts. -
Page 14: Controller
Operation Instructions 4.0 Controller 4.1 General The ECOLINE controller has been specially designed for use with MBE 35and MBE 50 barrier gates. It cannot be used with any other barrier type. This controller enables the barrier to be operated manually or automatically. There are 11 standard functions to be selected for operating the barriers. - Page 15 Operation Instructions Each in and output has a red LED- Indicator light to display which in- or output is currently activated. Light on = in- output active; Light off = in- output not active. - 15 - MBE35_50 OPERATION MANUAL 2005_10...

Page 16: Controller Inputs
Operation Instructions Note: IN5 (external safety input) and IN4 (pedestrian safety input) must be made (activated) in order for the barrier gate to operate. Standard factory setup is a jumper wire to activate these inputs. When installing the safety devices a normally closed contact must be used for both inputs and the factory wired jumper must be removed. - Page 17 Operation Instructions 1. Disabling of safety/closing devices connected to IN5 when the gate is in the down position. 2. The limit switch provides the controller logic with the information that the gate is in the down position. 3. If the controller is setup for signal reset (see chapter 4.5 DIP Switch 2) it uses the limit switch feedback to determine in what position the gate is...

Page 18: Controller Outputs
Operation Instructions 4.3 Controller outputs The MBE controller has 4 relay outputs (K* = Output). The output relay contacts are rated for 24 VDC/ 1A. Following is a description of the individual outputs: K 1: Depending on DIP switch 5 settings: DIP switch 5 in off position: Motor drive indication. -
Page 19: Operating Modes And Additional Functions
Operation Instructions 4.4 Operating modes and additional functions The 11 operating modes can be set by turning the rotary switch to the desired position (see chapter 4.6). The additional function can be set by setting the DIP-Switches to a certain position (see chapter 4.5). -
Page 20: Dip Switch Settings
Operation Instructions 4.5 DIP Switch settings Additional functionality can be set by switching the DIP-switches 1-8 in certain positions: Dip Switch Function 1 OFF After return of power the gate moves to the up position and a manual reset using the reset button is required 1 ON Activates the RESET functions of DIPswitch 2. - Page 21 Operation Instructions closing delay timer will start and the gate will not close until the timer is elapsed. 3 ON In this switch setting the closing delay time is set to 9 sec. When a closing command on IN3 was given or a vehicle passed through the safety-closing zone the 4 ON closing delay timer will start and the gate will not close...

Page 44: Installing The Induction Loops
Operation Instructions 5.0 Installing the Induction Loops 5.1 General induction loop functionality The Loop detectors operate on the principle of inductance. The detector monitors an insulated electrical wire, placed on or below the road surface (LOOP). Any metallic object, such as a car, which passes through the field will absorb electromagnetic energy and simultaneously decrease the inductance and increase the resonant frequency of the loop. -
Page 45: Vehicle Detection
Operation Instructions 5.2.2 Vehicle detection When a vehicle enters the loop, the body and frame provide a conductive path for the magnetic field; causing a loading effect, which in turn causes the loop inductance to decrease. The decreased inductance causes the resonant frequency to increase from the nominal value. -
Page 46: Loop Inductance Calculations
Operation Instructions 5.2.4 Loop Inductance calculations The number of turns required in the loop is dependent on the loop size. The loop inductance can be calculated as follows: L = P/4 (t² +t) L = Inductance (micro Henries) P = Perimeter (feet) t = Number of turns The formula can be simplified to: L = PK Substituting a constant K for (t²... -
Page 47: Loop Detector Sensitivity
Operation Instructions 5.3 Loop Detector Sensitivity Most loop detectors come with multiple adjustable sensitivity settings. This means that only vehicles will be detected when the relative frequency change (difference between loop frequency with vehicle and without) is higher than the adjusted sensitivity. -
Page 48: Loop Lead Wires
Operation Instructions To lessen the stress and abrasion of the loop wire the 90° corners shall be cut at a 45° angle or a core drilled with a minimum of 1.5” diameter (See drawings below). Lead-in Lead-in wire wire 45° angles to Core hole in all four Overlapped cuts prevent sharp... -
Page 49: How Deep Should The Loop Wires Be Installed
Operation Instructions 5.4.4 How deep should the loop wires be installed? The deeper the wires are below the road surface the more they are protected from road surface wear and the elements. The top wire should be a minimum of 1 inch below the road surface. -
Page 50: Loop Distance From Objects
Operation Instructions 5.4.5 Loop distance from objects: A minimum distance of 1ft between the loop and all metal objects (steel reinforcements, sewer grill etc.) must be kept. If this is not the case the loop, sensitivity can decrease significantly and a proper functioning of the loop cannot be guaranteed. -
Page 51: Commissioning
Operation Instructions 6.0 Commissioning 6.1 Commissioning procedure Once the barrier has been installed, the barrier boom attached and all electrical wiring work (including the installation of the induction loops) have been completed, according to the instructions; the barrier can be put into operation. To avoid the risk of injury and damage arising from any unintentional barrier movements during initial operations, all persons, and objects should be kept clear of the barrier. -
Page 52: Barrier Arm Support
Operation Instructions 7.0 Barrier arm support Barrier arm length exceeding 14ft require a support of the boom arm in the lower end position to cushion the arm when it travels in the down position. Magnetic Automation Corp. offers two options of barrier arm supports: 7.1 Pendulum support The pendulum support (Part# 1043.0138) is mounted to the barrier arm via two Allen head bolts (see drawing below). - Page 53 Operation Instructions C ra d le w ith fo a m p a d A d ju stm e n t: Lo o se n th e tw o M 6 lo c k n u ts.
