RISK OF CRUSH INJURIES TO HANDS!
Risk of crushing at the lever system of the barrier when the hood is open.

• All work on the barrier must be carried out by qualified personnel!
• Before working on the barrier, always disconnect the system and secure it to prevent reactivation!
• Install the barrier housing without the boom!
•  Follow the instructions on personal protective equipment!
•  The total length of the boom is not equal to the effective opening width.
•  For a boom length of more than 4 metres, a floating support or support post is required. There must be a safety distance of at least 500 mm (A) in each case between the barrier housing/the tip of the boom and the next stationary obstacle (building, wall, fence, etc.).
• The mains connection must be in accordance with EN 12453 (omnipolar mains circuit breaker). For this purpose, install a lockable main switch (all-pole deactivation).
•  Operate barriers only with a permanently laid line protected by a fuse (16A, slow-acting). The power cord connected in the as-delivered state is not approved for constant or outdoor operation.
•  A minimum distance of 5 metres must be observed between the range of movement of the barrier and overhead power lines/trees.
• Provide empty ducts in the foundation of the barrier and throughout the installation site for the cables of the mains supply line and the accessories (photocell, warning light, key switch, etc.).

Installation drawing
The position of the foundation, the length of the boom, and, where applicable, the position of the support post can be calculated using the overview illustration.

X = Boom length (1500 mm to 6000 mm)
Y = Distance from the tip of the boom to the centre of the support post or floating support. Minimum 150 mm, maximum 300 mm
Z = Opening width of the barrier – drive-through width
Example calculation:
Calculation of the boom length (X) with:
Opening width of the barrier (Z) = 3500 mm
Distance between the tip of the boom and the centre of the support post (Y) = 200 mm
X = Z + Y + 280 mm
X = 3500 mm + 200 mm + 280 mm
X = 3980 mm
Creating the barrier foundation with supply connections

For the proper operation of the barrier, the barrier housing must stand securely.
The following table shows the foundation size recommended by SOMMER Antriebs- und Funktechnik GmbH. Depending on the danger of frost, the depth of the foundation (D) must be adapted in a frost-proof manner so that the ground cannot lift.
