Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) for BR600T barrier gate. 1. What is the correct counterweight spring for each model? The spring has to have sufficient tension that can counter the weight of the arm. This helps to achieve smooth motion and no shaking at the end of opening or closing. Different models have different maximum arm lengths.

2. Why is the barrier gate arm shaking at end of opening or closing? If the correct counterweight spring has been used corresponding to the arm length, the arm shaking is due to the movement momentum. There is 1 rubber cushion at each endpoint of opening or closing to absorb all the momentum force that caused the arm to shake.

3. Why the arm is still shaking despite the correct counterweight spring and stopper screw level? The barrier gate might have been enduring this shaking due to improper spring calibration since the first day of installation, after changing a new arm of different lengths or adding heavy signage. Re- calibrating the arm now is already too late as the continuous long-term shaking has caused irreversible mechanical wear.

4. Why barrier arm auto-reverse or stop halfway? Our barrier gate controller will auto-reverse the arm at any point of the trajectory if detect a high current here the arm has sufficiently big difficulty to continue closing. It could be due to the spring pulling too hard or blocked by an obstacle at the lane.

5.3 Try to replace with another capacitor from the adjacent barrier gate to verify if the arm has resumed normal operation. You can purchase the original MAG capacitor from us to replace at the site to ensure the correct operation of the barrier gate.

6.1 An electronic proximity sensor is used to determine the stop position of the arm. The arm could stop earlier or later depending on the position of the magnet bolt. Check the magnet bolt position on the electronic proximity sensor is in the correct position. Refer to the picture step by step below: Step 2: Step 1:...
DRIVESHAFT EDGE SCREW 7. Why the arm does not move after pressing the push button (Up/Down) or flashing card on the reader? Up/Down/Stop LED on controller board will light up to confirm the signal is well received. A few possibilities are depending on the response of the push-button input LED on the control board. 7.1 If all LEDs on the control board light up constantly without blinking after restarting the board by turning it off and on again, it means the board could be corrupted due to lightning surge or power surge.

7.4 If all up/down/stop LED on the control board light up correctly corresponding to the push- button pressed and AC motor fan triggered to start running, it means the board well received the push button’s signal. The most likely cause for the arm not moving is the total malfunction capacitor.

8. Why barrier arm does not close down after the vehicle completely passed through the loop coil? This is caused by the access controller relay still holding the trigger signal even though the car has completely passed through the loop coil. The arm will not descend despite receiving the valid signal from the loop detector if our barrier controller keeps receiving a continuous UP dry contact signal from the access controller.

Please change the loop coil or upgrade the BRD02 - Traffic Detector.

10.2 Make sure that the drive crank does not hit the crank stopper when the arm is trying to close. If reverse open. not, the arm will The reason the arm will automatically reverse open is that the motor counter sensor detects an abnormality in the motor motion so it triggers the auto-reverse function. 11.
