Installation Direction Definition

Assembly and Installation

6.1 Pre-Installation Check
Note:

• Barrier gate installation must be carried out by qualified technician; Installation must comply with relevant regulations. Before installation, please read this instruction manual carefully.
• Please definite the installation direction of the barrier gate to be leftward or rightward fixed.
• Please make sure that the boom will operate freely without any impediment.
• Please make sure the mounting base is strong enough and the size is suitable.
• Please make sure the installation spots for all the relative equipment are suitable to avoid any collision.
• Please check the accessories according to the packing list (Refer to column 9)

6.2 Basic Structure Installation

• Coil Installation Instruction ：
  Position of the induction coil: Generally, the induction coil size would be 2m(L) x 1m(W), its central axis should be right under the barrier boom, please refer to the figure 3.

• Fastening Screws Installation Instruction ：
  If the installation site didn’t set with a foundation, then please make sure that the installation ground is strong enough to be fix with the barrier gate. Drill holes for fastening  screws with diameter of 16mm, depth of 80mm, drive the M12 x 150mm fastening screw into the hole, then tighten the nut before withdrawing it.
  If the installation site is concreted with foundation, please make sure the foundation depth is over 500mm, and the foundation area is over 450 x 450mm. Please pre-bury 3pcs PVC wiring tubes with diameter of 25mm: 1 for induction coil wiring, which should be led towards roadside and should be 50mm underneath the ground. The other 2 tubes are for power supply and control unit wiring. Meanwhile, users can embed 4pcs M12 foundation screws and leave 70mm of the screw thread over the ground, keep a distance of 170 x 170mm; Or users can drill the hole after the foundation hardening, and use the equipped expansion bolts to finalize the installation, please refer to Figure 4.

• Barrier Gate Installation Instruction ：
  Put the barrier gate in the right place (Keep the boom dropping-out and vehicle passing on the same direction), make sure the barrier gate is vertical to the ground, align the press board to the anchor bolts, lock and fasten them.

• Barrier Boom Installation Instruction ：
  Place the barrier boom into boom tray, add plastic gasket on both sides, use the spanner to clamp the boom by screws nuts. Please refer to Figure 5.

6.3 Boom Balance Adjustment
The tension of the spring is relative to the boom length, the spring has been assembled in the factory according to the different boom length, also the relative adjustments on boom operating speed 、 operating balance during opening/closing process has been set up before delivery. Spring tense must be re-adjusted by professionals if there were any changes on the boom length or weight. Please check and adjust according to the following steps.

1. Open the barrier gate side door and remove the upper cover.
2. Unplug the power cord.
3. Toggle the crank from the side door to unlock it(refer to column 6.7), manually adjust the boom to the place of 45 degrees then release the hand. If the boom keeps stable on the place of 45 degrees’ angle, indicating that it is with the best spring force.
4. If the spring force is too large or too small, then should be adjusted. First, loosen the nut on the top of the spring, clockwise rotating the screw to increase the tension of the  spring, counter-clockwise to decrease, then adjust the barrier boom again to its 45degrees’ angle position to check the spring tension.
5. Through repeating the above forth step to adjust the boom to its best balance, then fasten the double nuts, adjustment is complete.

6.4 Power Wiring
The power module of the barrier gate has been connected to the control board before delivery. To ensure operational safety and avoid damage to the components, please disconnect the circuit breaker first, and then connect the L and N of AC power into the input port of circuit breaker.

Note: Only professional technicians can engage in the installation and after sales maintenance for this product and are responsible for any damage caused by improper operation.

6.5 Electrify Check
Please close the circuit breaker to connect the power after correctly wired. The indicator light on the control board will be on once the power is connected; After powering on, please press the open/close button on the remote control, barrier gate will automatically detect the opening/closing limit switch (both limit switches are required to be detected). After detecting the opening/closing limit switch, the auto-detecting data will be saved automatically with a long sound of the buzzer, after which, the barrier gate will work normally.

6.6 Vertical Adjustment of Barrier Boom
If the barrier gate boom cannot open to its vertical position or close to its horizontal position. Please take the following steps to adjust it:

1. Open the barrier gate door, unplug the power cord.

2. Open and remove the upper cover.

3. Loosen the two fasten screws on rocker spring arm when the barrier boom is in erect.
   Adjust the boom to its horizontal position manually. Use the torque wrench to tighten the two fastening screws (locking force is 72 N·m)

4. Connect the power to work, check whether the boom opens/closes in place. If not, please re-adjust it after power off until the performance achieving the ideal state.

6.7 Manually Open/Close
The barrier boom may stay in the vertical or horizontal position when power is off, by this time the barrier gate mechanism is on its self-locking position. If to manually open/close the boom at this time, please follow the steps as below:

1. Open the barrier gate door.

2. Unplug the power cord

3. For leftward fixed type:
   To close when boom in opened position, please counter-clockwise rotate the motor shaft with a specific tool to enable the barrier boom to move, after which barrier boom can be manually pressed down for closing.
   To open when boom in closed position, please clockwise rotate the motor shaft with a specific tool to enable the barrier boom to move, after which barrier boom can be manually lifted up for opening. Please refer to Figure 9.

4. For rightward fixed type:
   To close when boom in opened position, please counter-clockwise rotate the motor shaft with a specific tool to enable the barrier boom to move, after which barrier boom can be manually pressed down for closing.
   To open when boom in closed position, please clockwise rotate the motor shaft with a specific tool to enable the barrier boom to move, after which barrier boom can be manually lifted up for opening. Please refer to Figure 10.
   Note: Please stabilize the boom when manually open it, in order to avoid any unnecessary damage caused by the spring tension.

6.8 Spring Configuration

Note: If the boom length is shorter than 4m, it’s recommended to use 80x46mm octagonal boom, if longer than 4m, to use 100x45mm octagonal boom.

Control Board Wiring

Warning!
The controller for DC brushless barrier gate is specially designed for the use of low speed and medium speed barrier gates. The place of the running barrier boom is continuously detected by the motor hall, which replaces the limit switches used in conventional barrier control systems.
The combination of the hall encoder and the controller unit ensures the maximum control to the boom optimum running place.
Note!
If some special functions are required, the controller’s connection may differ from which shown in this wiring illustration.
Important Note:
All input signals (like push buttons, limit switches, etc.) must be connected in the volt-free contact way.
