5.8. Levelling the barrier arm • The barrier is closed (arm horizontal) if the three conditions below are fulfilled: 1. the motor is stopped; 2. the closing limit switch is activated; 3. the screw (20:4) is flush (without any pressure) with the closing abutment (20:5). 19:1 19:2 19:1...
5.9. Installing the tip support 5.9.1. Standard tip support • The arm tip support is supplied as an option for arm lengths up to 5.00 metres, and as standard equipment from 5.01 metres. • The tip support must be fixed onto a flat and level concrete base by means of four rawlbolts following the instructions of plan Nr CH2656.
5.9.2. Electromagnetic tip support • The electromagnetic tip support, available as an option, must be fixed onto a flat and level concrete base by means of four rawlbolts following the instructions of plan Nr CH1019.

ADJUSTMENTS AND TECHNICAL INTERVENTIONS WARNING! REMINDER: Y BL32/BL33 OUR RISING BARRIER TYPE COMPRISES A MECHANISM AND VARIOUS ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS NY NEGLIGENCE DURING AN INTERVENTION IN THE MACHINE MAY SERIOUSLY ENDANGER YOUR SAFETY S SOON AS YOU ( 4:1 ) OPEN THE HOUSING SWITCH OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER LOCATED BEHIND THE SIDE DOOR E CAREFUL IN HANDLING...
6.2. Belt tension adjustment • The tension of the belt(s) must be adjusted after replacement or after a certain time of operation, or when all the motor power cannot be transmitted to the mechanism. As a consequence, the belt slips on the pulleys and there is a formation of black dust.
25:2 25:4 25:3 25:1 25:5 10mm 25:6 Fig. 25a Fig. 25b 6.2.1. Single belt (Fig. 25a) Loosen slightly the four screws ( 25:1 ) that fix the motor. If required, slide the motor downwards in its guides ( 25:2 ), remove the old V-belt and fix the new one.
• The torque limiter is a safety device and is factory-adjusted. However, some further adjustment may be necessary when the equipment has been installed or after a certain time of operation. Proceed with the adjustment in the following cases: Either the barrier arm does not open easily when a closing movement is reversed. The friction clutch then slips and must be tightened.
Page 45
• At the end of a closing or opening movement, the barrier arm stops by means of the limit switches ( 28:1 ) and ( 28:2 ) actuated respectively by the adjustable cams ( 28:3 ) and ( 28:4 ). To check if the position of these two cams is correct, proceed with the following test, after you have made sure that the arm level is correctly adjusted according to paragraph [5.8 Levelling the barrier arm] : Fig.
Page 46
The positioning of the limit switch cams will be correct if, when the arm stops in horizontal or vertical position, the motor stops and the bolt (28:7 ) is flush (without pressure) with the corresponding rubber abutment ( 28:5 ) or ( 28:6 ). Electrical closing test Close or open the barrier arm electrically.
6.5. Changing the arm model or the spring • Your barrier type BL32/BL33 has been factory-adjusted according to the arm boom mounted on it. Should you decide at a later stage to mount an arm of a different length, follow the instructions below. Make sure that the arm tube to be replaced is mechanically locked in its open position.

Fig. 31 If the case arises, mount the shrouds on the new arm referring to paragraph [5.6. Fixing the shrouds] . Make the necessary adjustments referring to paragraphs [5.8Levelling the barrier arm] , [6.1 Arm balance adjustment] , and [6.3 Safety torque limiter adjustment] . Notes: -- If you install an accessory on the barrier arm (road sign, traffic lights, etc.) or remove one, refer to paragraphs [5.8], [6.1] and [6.3] to re-adjust the arm balance.
6.6. Adjustement of the reinforcement stop The goal of the reinforcement stop (32:1) is to guarantee the stop of the arm movement during opening of the barrier. Unscrew counternut (32:2) and adjust screw (32:3) position in order to maintain a play of about 5 mm with connecting rod jaw (32:4) when this late is at its Bottom Dead Center (arm vertical).
MAINTENANCE • The following operations are to be repeated every 6 to 12 months according to the traffic intensity. Unlock and remove the side door ( 3:10 ). Unlock the two latches ( 3:16 ) from inside and remove the hood ( 3:11 ) if necessary. Clean the interior of the housing.

INPUTS Signals from outside that are received by the control board. There is a green LED under every input pin, which indicates the status (ON/OFF) of the latter. DI1, DI2, DI3, DI4 (cell) : signal from the optional safety cells (see “connecting the presence sensors” below). DI5 (Swing off sens./Lock) : Swing off sensor : for all machines except BL4x, signal emitted by the optional arm swing off detector when it no longer detects the arm on the jaw.
