INSTRUCTIONS TO BE FOLLOWED BEFORE INSTALLING THE OPERATOR
FOR OPTIMAL APPLICATION AND USE OF THE OPERATOR PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND CONSULT EXPLANATORY DIAGRAMS

OVERVIEW

This product belongs to our range of retractable traffic control posts. It is quick and easy to install, as it does not need to be adjusted or calibrated and has been designed to regulate and prohibit vehicular access.
The oil-hydraulic bollards VIGILO 2250 (500 mm height, with or without LEDs), VIGILO 2263 (600 mm height, with or without LEDs), VIGILO 2280 (800 mm height, with or without LEDs) are ötted with posts made of rust-treated steel, 200 mm diameter; bollards are also available in stainless steel AISI 304 version.
The product’s hallmark is its ease of installation: once the housing has been secured, the operator can be introduced ready for operation, as soon as the wiring has been completed.
As soon as the retractable post receives a command (from a key switch or radio transmitter), it rises from its interred position. The post is clearly visible at nighttime thanks to a reøective strip and the possibility of connecting a øashing light or traffic light. Versions with led lights are also available to signal when the post is in the fully up position and when moving up or down. Using the electronic microprocessor programmer, the operator can also be customised with presence indicator accessories (magnetic coils, photocells).
Overview

PRELIMINARY OPENING OF ALL FUNCTIONAL COMPONENTS
Start by removing the cover plate to reveal the operator and separate the individual components, with the aid of a hoist (Pic. 2):
this makes it easy to extract the internal piston and hydraulic main unit container unit.
Functional Components

IMPORTANT: TAKE CARE NOT TO TEAR OR CUT WIRES.

ELECTRICAL LAYOUT OF THE INSTALLATION
To check that the mains supply and voltage to the electric motor is 230 V at 50 Hz. The power supply to the operator’s built-in motor must be made using electricitycables with a 1,5 mm² section for a maximum distance of 50 metres. For distances of over 50 metres, use electric cables with sections suited to the installation.

ARRANGING THE HOUSING

Arranging the Housing

Check soil natural permeability: 50 liters of water must be vable to soak away in not longer than 30/40 minutes.Otherwise provide a pipe to allow rain water to øow either into the sewage system or a sump well equipped with a submersed pump.

IMPORTANT: once the housing has been positioned and installation completed, it is important for the top edge to be level with the ground.
Diminsion

PLACING THE TRAFFIC CONTROL POST INSIDE THE HOUSING

Before performing this operation, wait for the housing to be secured örmly in place. Do not commence until the concrete has set and the electric wire pipe has been secured and covered with soil.

  • Use a hoisting hook to lift the piston unit with the post and main unit (using the eyebolt) and place on top of the housing.
  • The subsequent phase of this operation consists in threading the motor, limit switch, solenoid valve and LED power supply electric wires through the piping and simultaneously starting to delicately place the operator inside the housing

IMPORTANT:   PASS THE MOTOR, LIMIT SWITCH, SOLENOID VALVE AND LED POWER SUPPLY ELECTRIC WIRES THROUGH THE PIPING WITHOUT TEARING OR CUTTING THE CABLES.

Controlo Post Indide The Housing

**** For distances greater than 10 metres, make extensions using sealed junction boxes inside an accessible dividing box.

IF THE OPERATOR IS REMOVED

  • Disconnect the main switch before opening the lid of the electric cable junction box.
  • Do not cut the electric wires, rather remove them from the terminal board loosening the clamping screws inside the dividing box

MAGNETIC LOOP PREPARATIONS

IMPORTANT:
make sure that no other electro-magnetic sources are located on or under the ground near the installation to prevent interference or any affecting action with the magnetic loops of the vehicle detecting device if installed or with any other electronic equipment included in the system for commanding and controlling operations.

The magnetic loop detector is a safety device operating all the time to detect any transiting vehicle: the bollard is prevented from rising should a vehicle cross the loop.
A hole is to be dug in the ground as indicated (see relative instructions sheet). For proper and correct functioning of the loop detector it is recommended to strictly keep to the installation geometry as indicated in the instructions.

FIRST OPERATION MANOEUVRES

NOTE WELL: supply the system with electric power only after all of the electrical connections have been made as required for proper operations.

Having terminated installation of the traffic control post and all the safety and control accessories (all of the NC contacts on the Elpro S40 board are to be bridged), and the respective connections with the Elpro S40 programmer, and having completed thorough risk analysis, the örst operation manoeuvres can be performed. If you have a radio transmitter, encode the radio receiver according to the relative instructions before giving the command to raise the retractable post, or give the manoeuvre command using a key switch. Once power is supplied, connect the motor/pump cable and, satisöed that the limit switch LEDs are properly alight, the post should move up on the örst commanding pulse; should it fail, disconnect power supply and swap the connections to the live terminals.
Operation Instruction

VERSION OF VIGILO WITH SOLENOID VALVE

In the version of VIGILO with solenoid valve no manual overriding action is needed, and in case of power failure the post descends automatically øush with pavement level. To enable the solenoid valve to operate properly, the electric wires labelled “ELETTROVALVOLA – Solenoid valve” from the post assembly are to be connected, through the voltage stabilizer, to terminals 22 and 23 in the Elpro S40 control box.
Version Of Vigilo Eith Solenoid Valve

GROUND-LEVEL CLOSURE – COVER PLATE

  • Use the four screws to close the cover plate.
  • Lift the retractable post for facilitate closure of the post cover with the buffer, give the command (by encoding a transmitter with the radio receiver or a key switch) to lift the retractable post.

MAINTENANCE

OPERATIONS FOR ORDINARY ROUTINE MAINTENANCE OF FADINI AUTOMATIC BOLLARDS (EVERY SIX MONTHS)

The standard maintenance routine sequence is as follows:

  • Clean the ground cylinder and suck all material settlements.
  • Clean water drains located at the bottom of the ground cylinder and/or excavation pit.
  • Check any possible oil leaking from the hydraulic piston and, in case, öx it.
  • Overhaul the screws fastening the bollard to the ground cylinder, making sure they are properly tightened and lubricated.
  • Check the oil-hydraulic motor-pump and oil pressure by assessing the rising times of the bollard. If required, top up oil in the reservoir and/or parallel add an extra capacitor to the existing one (instructions manual is to be referred to).
  • Check the correct functioning of the signal LED lights (if incorporated) in the bollard head.
  • Sight check the electronic board controlling the bollard/s (e.g.: “øooded” relay contacts, oxidized terminal clamps, etc.).
  • Check the correct functioning and positioning of the limit switches.
  • Check the release system for bollard manual operations.
  • Clean and recondition the rising cylinder if required, e.g.: paint patching up, replacing the back reøecting sticker and /or the cover ötted with rubber edge.

IF OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES ARE INCLUDED, FURTHER MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED AS FOLLOWS:

  • Check the correct functioning of the safety accessories such as the inductive loop/s and the photocells.
  • Check the correct functioning of the radio receiver and all of the remote controls.
  • Check the correct functioning of the pressure switch.
  • Check the correct functioning of the beeper.
  • Check the correct functioning of the traffic lights and the respective control card.
  • Check the correct functioning of the solenoid valve in emergency cases such as power failure or disconnection, assess therefore the status of the 24 Vdc voltage stabilizer.
  • Check the correct functioning of E.A.R. 35 acoustic analyzer to lower the bollard in emergency
