GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Security bollard fitted with a post, that retracts completely flat with the road level, and an incorporated oil-hydraulic motor-pump.
Suitable for heavy duty applications being certified and tested in compliance with:

• ASTM F2656-15 C750
• PAS 68:2013 V/7500 (N3)/80
• IWA 14-1:2013 V/7200 [N3C]/80

The bollard is designed and constructed to be able to stop vehicles weighing 7.500 kg, running at a speed of 80 km/h and to absorb at least 1.872.000 Joules of energy, in compliance with the ASTM F2656-15, PAS 68:2013 and IWA 14-1:2013 standards.

This bollard is designed for the protection of special areas, such as: military bases, airports, embassies, consulates, banks, prisons, etc. and all those areas requiring a high level of security and perimeter protection. The bollards is fitted with a post (cylinder) rising 1.100 mm from ground level, diameter 350 mm, thickness 30 mm. The post of the bollard (when in fully raised position) remains 50 cm (constraint) inside the enclosure and is supported by two reinforcement plates, the thickness of each is 30 and 30 mm respectively.

The post is made of S355K2H steel, the surface is cataphoresis treated and coated by polyester powder; the post of the bollard is well visible in any climate conditions, being fitted with an approved, back-reflecting band sticker. The post head is completed with a rubber edge providing protection in case of accidental impacts with pedestrians, etc. The foundation casing is made of treated steel, hot dip galvanized, while the structure of the inner assembly of the bollard is cold dip galavanized.

It is fitted with two magnetic limit switches: one for the post in raised position and one for the post in lowered position. All the inner electrical connections (oil-hydraulic motor-pump, limit switches, LEDs and possible accessories) are factory pre-wired in a watertight junction box fitted with a quick disconnection connector for the power supply cable. The protection grade of the connector fitted to the junction box is IP 66. Available, on request, even IP 67 and explosion-proof.

The oil-hydraulic drive unit is made up of two pumps, each operated by a 230 Vac electric motor. Protection grade IP 67. They are located in the upper part of the foundation enclosure, outside of the post, and are easy to be accessed once the rectangular cover plate has been removed. High pressure tubes (300 bars) connect the oil-hydraulic drive unit to the actuator.

ELPRO S50 is a printed circuit control board powered with 230 Vac voltage, external to the bollard and housed in a plastic box made of polycarbonate. Connections between the bollard and the control board must be made by using a multipole cable type FG 7OR 12×1,5 mm² up to 20 m maximum; beyond this distance, cable section must be adequate, according to the rules of good installation praxis.

EXCAVATION FOR POSITIONING OF THE CASING IN A CONCRETE FOUNDATION

Dig a pit in the soil of about 4×3 m (157,8×118,1 in) and about 2 m (78,2 in) deep from the finished road level [A], as indicated in pic. 2.

Put a layer of pebbles in the bottom for rain water to soak away. Should rain water drainage be difficult in the bottom, create a smaller pit for water to gather in it and be pumped out of the bottom of the main pit by a submersed pump. Lay a Ø 50 mm (Ø 1,9 in) corrugated tube, suitable for the electric cables required to operate the bollard to be pulled through it.

POSSIBLE FUNCTIONING TEST (non mandatory for the installation)

Talos C750 is factory-tested in all normal conditions of functioning, before being sent out to customer.
Nevertheless, to allow that a few running tests to assess functioning are carried out before the installation, it is possible to access the inner terminal board with the electrical connections by removing the hatch cover: undo the two lateral screws of the cover and pull out the junction box with its connector.
Open the connector and carry out the electrical connections as illustrated in pic. 18

ATTENTION

• Once the first running test is finished, fit back the junction box and close back the hatch.

• A watertight box is factory-fitted inside the bollard and pre-wired with all the required electrical connections to the bollard (electric motor, limit switches, LED lights).

FIRST RUNNING TESTS

ATTENTION: power supply the installation only after all the electrical connections have been completed.

• Once satisfied that all the safety (all NC contact to Elpro S50 controller must be closed) and command accessories have been connected, and the respective connections to the Elpro S50 controller made, the first running tests can be performed.
• It is recommended that, before this phase, an accurate analysis of the risks be executed.
• If a radio transmitter is available, after having match encoded it with the radio receiver following the provided instructions, pulse it once to raise the post.

[C] Check the electrical connections to the limit switches. Once the system has been power supplied, check the LEDs status first of all: with the post in the lowered position L12 LED is OFF, while L13 LED is ON. If this does not happen, swap connections to terminals 11 and 12 on the Elpro S50 control board.

ATTENTION: the post must be fully down.
If during the installation phase the post rises, even partially, operate the manual release to bring it fully down to end of stroke.

[B] Once electric power is supplied, provided that the LEDs of the limit switches are correctly alight (post down L12 led OFF), by the first pulse the post should rise. If not, swap the connections to the motor live terminals (on Elpro S50) after having disconnected the electric power supply from the installation.
