Installation of the barrier

Preparation for Installation

Before installation, technicians inspect the site to determine the mounting point for the barrier post and the cable routing path. The base must be solid (concrete, asphalt), undamaged, and suitable for embedded work. The project includes:

• positioning of the barrier post and counterweight;

• boom length (typically 3–6 meters);

• cable channel layout;

• placement of control devices (ACS controller, button, remote, remote access system, etc.).

Standard power supply is 220V with grounding. If there are frequent outages, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is required.

Installation Steps

1. Marking and Preparation
   The installation area is marked. Drilling or boring is carried out for anchor mounting or base plate installation. Embedded elements are installed.

2. Mounting the Post
   The drive unit and support post are secured to the base. All joints are checked for stability. The boom and counterweight (if required) are installed.

3. Power Connection
   The power cable is routed to the post. Voltage compliance and correct connection of phase, neutral, and ground are verified. A circuit breaker is installed.

4. Access System Integration
   Control devices are connected:
   – ACS controller;
   – intercom panel;
   – push button or remote;
   – RFID reader;
   – GSM or internet module (for remote control).
   Logic operation and opening/closing timings are configured.

5. Final Testing
   The system is tested for:
   – command response;
   – auto-close after vehicle passes;
   – obstacle detection;
   – manual control mode operation;
   – operation of peripherals (traffic lights, sensors, etc.).

Features and Recommendations

• For booms longer than 5 meters, reinforced bases and wind protection are required.

• For 24/7 operation, heating elements should be installed in the drive unit and control box.

• In high-traffic areas, the boom should have shock absorbers or overload protection.

• If gates or side doors are present, coordination of operational logic is required.

Maintenance

Minimum maintenance interval: once every 6 months. Includes:

• cleaning mechanical parts from debris;

• checking and tightening bolts and anchors;

• lubricating the gearbox and joints;

• inspecting cables and connections for oxidation or damage;

• testing the control system and backup power unit.

Mistakes during installation can lead to breakdowns, drive overheating, and control failures. All work must be carried out by qualified professionals experienced in automation and access control systems.
