User manual Heras Crash Tested Barrier 94x Series Please read this original user manual before using this barrier for the first time. Act in accordance with the manual and keep it in a safe place for later use or for the following owner.
Should the barrier be tampered with and/or any non-approved equipment be fitted to the barrier then any warranty will be considered void. The Copyright of this Manual remains the property of Heras at all times. This Man- ual may not be reproduced by any means without prior written permission from Heras.
Operators are not allowed to carry out any installation work on the barrier unless explicitly specified. Engineer: The engineer is a Heras fitter (or an engineer employed by the cus- tomer who has been given explicit permission in writing from Heras) who is qualified to perform technical interventions on the barrier.
A qualified person is, according to EN 12635, a person who has the required train- ing, qualified knowledge and practical experience required to install, test and main- tain a barrier system correctly and safely. CONFORMITY The installation complies with the following EU Directives/ regulations: 2006/42/ Machinerichtlijn 2014/30...
Ensure that the feeder cables are not carrying power during commissioning. DELIVERY OF BARRIER After installation and commissioning, by a Heras technician or a technician trained by Heras, the cover of the barrier must be closed and locked. This is done to pre- vent unauthorised access. 2 SAFETY...
• It is not permitted to mount items to the barrier arm and / or housing other than as prescribed by Heras. Think of traffic and other signs and such. This can negatively affect the safe operation of the barrier.
SAFETY PROVISIONS • To protect people and goods from injury or damage, the barrier is fitted with safety provisions including safety loops and/or a laser scanner. These serve as emergency provisions that immediately stop (and reverse) the movement of the barrier. It is forbidden to use these provisions to stop the barrier normally.
rier. If the barrier arm is blocked, the barrier will not move at all or will not complete its movement. Irregularities can damage the drive and / or trans- mission. • Climbing the barrier is strictly forbidden as people climbing the barrier could get hurt if the barrier is started unexpectedly.
• STOP: Press the "Stop" button. The barrier will stop immediately, irrespective of its direction of travel. To restart the barrier press “Open” or "Close". OPEN / CLOSE BARRIER MANUAL RELEASE In case of an emergency, the barrier can also be opened or closed manually. To do this the cabinet must be opened.

It takes a few movements to begin raising or lowering as pressure builds Ensure the nipple is released before powering up again.
4 DESCRIPTION 94X SERIES The Heras 94x series is a range of impact tested dual beam vehicle barriers used to control vehicular access to any kind of high security controlled areas. The dual beams integrated with the unique fibre system provide formidable me- chanical characteristics and greater energy absorption on impact than a conven- tional barrier system.
The laser scanner can also be set so that the barrier opens when a vehicle ap- proaches. ACCESSORIES 4.4.1 Traffic lights (Optional) Red/green signal lights that indicate the open/closed position statuses. People are only allowed to pass through the barrier opening when the green light is on. 4.4.2 Flash light / beacon (Optional*) A flashing beacon to ensure extra attention before and while the barrier is open-...
4.5.1 Hold-to-run mode The barrier drive can be operated in hold-to-run operating mode with limited com- fort. In hold-to-run operating mode, the barrier does not require safety features. The barrier will move as long as an OPEN or CLOSE key is pressed. It shall only be possible to operate the manual actuators in such a position that allows full, direct and permanent real-time view of the barrier during the barrier movement and ensures that the person controlling the barrier is not in a...
5 CONTROL UNIT TOTAL VIEW OF CONTROL PANEL The control panel for the barrier incorporates a PLC, a switch-mode power supply unit and a set of field termination connectors/terminals. inverter motor speed controller PLC control- switch- mode PSU field termi- nals field termi- nals...
6 COMMISSIONING In this chapter we discuss commissioning the 94X barrier. SELECTING CONTROL LOGICS To select logic simply turn the two potentiometers to the relevant positions as shown below: potentiome- com port ters Figure 4: Automatic Logic Turn top potentiometer fully clockwise and bottom potentiometer fully counter- clockwise.
6.1.1 Automatic logic Inputs Laser scan- Open loop Auto close Stop button Open Close ner/loop (F exit) timer Closed No effect Opens No effect No effect Opens Inactive Stops and Stops until Stops and Closing Stops No effect Inactive reopens cleared reopens Closes after 5-...
AUTO-CLOSE TIMER When the barrier system is set to ‘automatic logic’ and an open signal is received from either a push button or card reader the barrier will open, should no vehicle drive through the barrier then the barrier arm will re-close after a set time. Adjusting this timer is done by turning the bottom potentiometer.
Proximity switch positions Figure 5: MECHANICAL LIMITS The barrier also has mechanical limits for each direction of travel. The mechanical limits are set in order that there is a 5 mm gap between the bolt heads and the quadrant at both the fully lowered and fully raised posi- tions.
PRESSURE SETTING The barrier is driven by means of a hydraulic power pack. To avoid damage, the pressure must not be set higher than 70 Bar. The power packs can be equipped with a pressure gauge to enable you to read the value while opening or closing the barrier at full speed.
Position relief valve Figure 7: 7 EMERGENCY STOP The 94X does not have an emergency stop system. According to the Machine Di- rective 2006/42/EC, annex 1, article 1.2.4.3., this is not necessary if the emergen- cy stop system would not lower the risk. However, an emergency stop system can be connected to the barrier.
User manual provided, or any faults or damage caused by willful misuse, will result in any warranty becoming void. Please note, Heras does not accept and liability for any personal injury, mate- rial damage or consequential loss caused by misuse of the barrier.
