Barrier Types and Operation Overview

Barrier Types and Operation

• Two types of barriers exist: those without a hand generator (using 110V AC or 24V/110V DC) and those with a hand generator (using 24V/110V DC).
• The operating sequence involves opening the detection contacts, moving the boom, locking it, and closing the contacts.
• The barrier operates in two positions: open (85-90 degrees from horizontal) and closed (0-2 degrees from horizontal).
• Operation time is under 12 seconds at rated voltage, or a maximum of 20 seconds at 75% rated voltage.

Technical Specifications

Boom Construction

• Barriers use galvanized iron sheets in an octagonal shape.
• The boom can have 4 segments, each 2.44 meters long.
• Available total boom lengths are 4.88m, 7.32m, and 9.76m.
• The boom is painted with alternating 300mm black and yellow bands.
• A red disc (600mm diameter) with a STOP sign is featured.
• An LED boom light with a built-in fuse is located centrally.

Motor Specifications

• The motor uses class B insulation.
• Its short-time rating is 10 minutes.
• The motor rotates in both directions.
• It has overload protection using specific MCBs (miniature circuit breakers).
• Operating current varies based on type: AC (110V) with normal 2.5A and maximum 4A; DC (24V) with normal 4A and maximum 7A; DC (110V) with normal 1A and maximum 1.8A.

Safety Features

• The barrier features fail-safe locking in both vertical and horizontal positions.
• A fracture segment is included to prevent impacts.
• A gradual movement is achieved using a snubbing device.
• Emergency operation is provided.
• Unauthorized access is prevented.
• A positive boom locking system is present.

Control and Monitoring

• The control panel includes: power indication, open/close push buttons, an emergency operation button, boom position indicators, and lock status indicators.
• The hand generator version has additional features: a generator/push button selector switch; an optional integrated control panel.

Testing Requirements

Types of Tests

• Routine Tests: visual inspection, high voltage test, insulation resistance test, and performance test.
• Acceptance Tests: identical to routine tests, but with a sampling plan.
• Type Tests: environmental testing, 100,000 cycle life testing, and additional performance parameter testing.

Warranty and Documentation

• Warranty period: 24 months from supply or 12 months from commissioning.
• Documentation includes installation and maintenance manuals.
• A tool kit is provided.
• Optional spare parts are available.

Installation Requirements

• Required road clearance: 0.8 to 1 meter.
• Weather-proof barrier design.
• Lubrication points are included.
• Proper cable protection methods are implemented.
• Secure locking mechanisms are essential.
