1. SAFETY WARNINGS
IMPORTANT: SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH, READ AND FOLLOW
ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING, OPERATING, OR SERVICING
THE BARRIER. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
ALL OPERATIONS OF THE GATE MUST BE DONE BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. ALL
NON-AUTHORIZED REPAIRS OR REPAIRS DONE BY A NON-QUALIFIED
TECHNICIAN VOID THE WARRANTY OF THE MANUFACTURER.
ALWAYS INSTALL THE ARM BEFORE OPERATING OR LOWERING THE GATE.
UNPIN THE SPRINGS BEFORE PROCEEDING TO ANY ARM INSTALLATION.
Installing a barrier exposes the user to responsibilities with regards to
the safety of people:
Circulation of pedestrians, cyclist and motorcyclist in the area
where the barrier is moving must be banned (risk of being hit
and pinching).
Two pictograms for the prohibition of pedestrian,cyclist and
motorcyclist access are provided with the equipment;
To allow the passage of motorcycles, a special loop
configuration along with photo cells must be used as specified
in the drawing BL229-IN-07-EN. The systems must be tested prior to use.
All operations performed on the equipment must be undertaken by qualified personnel. All operations
that are not authorised or that are carried out on this product by an unqualified technician shall
automatically and ipso jure lead to the denial of the manufacturer’s warrantee.
The access keys to the mechanism must only be used by personnel informed about the electrical and
mechanical risks incurred by negligent handling. This person is required to lock the mechanism’s
access door after completing the work.
As soon as the access door to the mechanism is opened, cut the power supply on the circuit
breaker (20, Ch. 2.1. ).
Raise the arm before any work inside the housing, in order to release the tension in the balancing
springs and avoid the untimely movement of the driving mechanism (Ch. 0).
All internal elements that could receive power or move must be handled with care.
KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. When servicing, keep the place around the gate secured to
avoid risk of injuries if the gate were to move without warning.
Test the gate operator monthly. It is important to test the gate to ensure that the force of the arm is not
excessive. If the gate is equipped with the safety contact sensor, the gate MUST reverse on contact
with a rigid object or stop dependent on the programming of the sensor. After adjusting the force or the

limit of travel, retest the gate operator. Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator properly can
increase the risk of injury or death.
The equipment is configured in a minimal risk mode for its users. All modifications to the parameters
must be undertaken by experienced and qualified personnel and in no way entails the responsibility of
Automatic Systems.
The end of the arm must always be kept at a distance of at least 0.5 m from any object.
Never let children operate or play with gate controllers or remote control devices.
The barrier must be fully visible by the user before being actuated.
After a collision, even without apparent damages, the equipment must be carefully checked by an
approved technician.
Install the arm and any accessories before any electrical tests (Ch.4. ).
Never operate the barrier without the bumpers (10, Ch. 2.1. ).
The installation of detection loops must be validated by qualified personnel who will determine their
optimal configuration (adapted to vehicle type and passageway).
WARNING
incorrectly detect trucks and (motorcycles) bikes and close the gate on them!

2.2. Operating principle
The indicators in this chapter refer to the illustrations in Ch. 2.1.
The opening of the arm (18) is controlled by the user (through a lockable switch, a push-button, a radio
transmitter), presence detector loops buried under the road, or through an outside unit.
Closing is controlled in the same way, or automatically after a time delay.
The motion generated by the gear motor (9) is transmitted to the arm by means of pinion and sector gears
(15 + 11).
The speed of the arm movement, controlled by the variable speed controller (17), can be adjusted for both
opening and closing. The movement parameters are adjusted in the factory in order to offer brisk acceleration
and gentle deceleration at the end of the movement.
The 2 inductive position sensors (7) indicate the extreme arm positions (open and closed) to the control
board (16). The latter coordinates the barrier’s activity: Management of movements, options, processing of
incoming and outgoing information, etc (see Ch. 3. ). This information can, however, be transferred and
processed by an external terminal (not supplied by Automatic Systems).
There are one to six preloaded balancing springs (12) to help the motor open and close the barrier.
For barrier models with the automatic lifting option during power cuts, the preloading of springs is
increased in order for the latter to ensure the lifting of the arm in the event of power outages.
In normal operation condition a mechanical locking system holds the arm in its closed positions. Also, the
variable speed controller compensate for any effort made to move the barrier manually when the arm is in the
open, closed or stopped position.
In order to increase protection against vandalism (forcing the arm), the mechanical locking system can be
modified to act in power outage situation and also to lock the open position (see Ch 2.3. ).
The following table summarises the various possible combinations:
Locking of the arm (optional)
Locking situation
Locking in power outage and
operation.
(For barrier without automatic lifting
of the arm)
Locking in operation only
(For barrier with automatic lifting of
the arm)

The lock type NO in closed position is standard on the equipment. However locks are available as an option
for the open position or in the NC type (locking in power outage).
These locks are placed on the reinforcing V-blocks (19), under the cover.
Note
: Depending on the desired operating mode (specified when the order is placed), the installed locks will
be of NO (standard) or NC (option) type (see table in Ch. 2.2). However, for locking in both positions, the 2
locks will be systematically of the same type (NO or NC), as they are controlled by the same electromagnet.
The above illustration represents the locking of the arm in the open position by means of an NC lock. The
operation described below corresponds to this configuration, but can be applied in principle to other
configurations.
The lock is of the Normally Closed type: In standby mode (turned off), the spring (81) pushes the shank (82)
out of the electromagnet (80), which closes the clips (83) around the locking pin (84). The locking pin being
fastened to the hub (13), which in turn is attached to the arm’s driving shaft, which is therefore locked.
When a close command is sent to the barrier, the electromagnet is turned on. The shank (82) is pulled
towards the electromagnet, which results in the clips (83) opening.
At the same time, a pulse is given to the arm in the other direction (opening), to unlock the mechanism (the
clips could be stuck by the locking pin if the arm has been subjected to major stress in a locked position).
The closing of the arm is only started when the inductive sensor (86) detects the shank’s end washer, which
corresponds to the opening of the clips and the unlocking of the arm.
If the arm is not unlocked within 3 seconds, the barrier is put out of service.
Once the arm is closed (detection by the limit switch sensor (7, Ch. 2.1. ), the electromagnet is switched off.

*: Automatic closure only if the preceding opening was initiated by detection and not if presence is detected by another sensor.
Notably, if there is a power outage when the obstacle is open, the obstacle will not close automatically when the power is
brought back (a close command must be executed).
Warning:
contrast to the other modes: a Lock Close command has priority for it (see the Exploitation parameter below) and could cause
the arm to close on a vehicle.
**: Opening is possible using the commands present on the control board's connector blocks: open command, reader command,
and Lock Open command.
***: If passage is detected while the obstacle is Locked Open, closure will take place when the Lock Open command is
deactivated.
: With regard to the underlined values, a close command must be executed to close the obstacle when it is open. The safety
function is only activated during the closing movement of the obstacle.

The obstacle remains mechanically locked, thanks to
the position of the transmission elements between them.
Nevertheless, it is possible to unlock it manually using a
lever or a crank.
ON
(by default for BL4x
only, not
adjustable)
The obstacle is unlocked: a pulse is given to take the
transmission elements out of alignment; opening may
have to be effected by hand.
This electrical opening is only available for equipment
that has a reversible motor reduction drive and a
frequency inverter (thanks to the capacitors integrated
into the control board and the frequency inverter).

The commands follow this decreasing order of priority:
STOP (stop)
Lock OP (lock open)
Lock CL (lock close)
OP (open)
CL (close)
The presence sensors and reader inputs are at the
same hierarchical level as OP/STOP/CL => Lock Close
has priority in an opening loop and will work even if
something is detected.
Warning
: The OP command is never interrupted (the
arm always goes to the LSO before accepting the next
command) => Lock Close will take affect after the
obstacle has reached its LSO.
Note
: Some use modes are incompatible with the
operating mode of the presence sensors (see the table
of incompatible modes, here after).
2 Contacts
(by default)
2 contacts used for opening and closing, on the control
board's connector block.
Open Cmd: open the obstacle
Close Cmd: close the obstacle on the rising edge of the
command.
STOP Cmd: stop.
Note
: A Lock Open command is given if the No
Passage timing has been activated, it will close when
the following two conditions have been met:
the Lock Open command is off,
the set time has elapsed (or, immediately if there is a
detection on a closing sensor).
1 Contact
Open Cmd: if active, the obstacle opens.
Open Cmd: if inactive, the obstacle closes.
STOP Cmd: stop. When the stop is released, the
obstacle will continue to open if an OP/Lock Open
command is still present, if not the obstacle will close.
Note
: there is no CL contact in this mode.
Note
: if this mode is used for a reader, it must be
ensured that the latter sends a continuous signal in
order for the obstacle to be kept open for a given time.
Note
: this mode is highly recommended for barriers
which arm is Normally Open (tunnel entry, etc.). In this
case effectively, it is mandatory to maintain a continuous
opening command in order to prevent an untimely
closing (by maintenance personnel for example).
Warning
: if there is a voltage loss while the obstacle is
open, the obstacle will close when the power comes
back if the OP command is not activated, because – in
this mode – an inactive open command equals a close
command.

4. INSTALLATION
Installation must be undertaken in compliance with the safety warnings (Ch. 1. ).
4.1. Storing the equipment before installation
Before installation, ensure that the equipment does not get damaged, leave it in its original packaging, and
place it in a dry area protected from dust, heat and weather.
Store between -30 and +80°C [-22°F and 176°F].
4.2. Positioning the equipment
Since the barrier cannot be laid flush with the road surface, a perfectly horizontal raised concrete base must
be prepared, according to the installation drawing provided with the equipment.
1. Assemble the fixing frame:
Pass the four anchoring bolts (2) into the holes of the fixing frame (1) using a nut (7a) and a flat washer
(6a) each time. The threaded must be installed as illustrated in Fig. a.
Secure the anchoring bolts on the fixing frame by putting a flat washer (6b) and a nut (7b) on each
threaded rod with a 40 mm [1,57 in] tail. Tighten the nuts. It is advisable to protect the threads sticking
out of the fixing frame from concrete projections by means of adhesive tape.
2. Provide 2 PVC tube (3 & 4) of minimum diameter 25.4mm [1 in]. One conduit for the power supply and
one for the remote control wires (Fig. b).
When appropriate, pass a PVC tube (5) of diameter 25 mm [1 in] to pass the optional detection loops
wires.
Ensure that the cables have a minimum of 1 metre [3.3 ft] out of the concrete base.
3. Construct a concrete base (8) in which the fixing frame is to be buried. The fixing frame must be flush
with the finished level of the concrete base and perfectly horizontal (Fig. b).
4. When the concrete is dry, remove the adhesive protection tape from the threads, remove the nuts (7b),
the flat washers (6b), put the barrier housing onto the concrete base and maintain it by means of the
washers (6b) and the nuts (7b) (Fig. c). The concrete base is designed smaller than the barrier
housing in order to prevent water stagnating at the bottom of the housing.

be adjusted so as to ensure minimum stress on the motor when opening and closing the barrier:
Slightly lift the arm then release it: it must stay balanced.
Repeat the operation for the arm’s various angular positions.
If the arm falls down, the spring compression must be increased.
If the arm rises, the spring compression must be decreased.
For operation with automatic lifting of the
lift the arm, up to its vertical position. Contact between the rubber bumper (51) and the frame should not be
too violent, as this may lead to rapid deterioration.
If the arm does not open completely, the spring compression must be increased.
If the arm rises too quickly, the spring compression must be decreased.
Adjusting the spring compression:
1. Tighten or loosen the screws (27) to increase or decrease, respectively, spring compression.

5.3. Adjusting the position sensors
The aim of the position sensors is to stop the opening and closing movement of the arm.
Each movement (opening and closing) is controlled by its own inductive sensor, of the discrete type.
The passage of the cut-out of the cam in front of the sensor results in the power being cut to the motor, the
activation of the electromagnetic brake and the activation or release of the arm’s optional locking system
(depending on whether the lock is NO or NC).
The sensors are adjusted correctly if the motor stops exactly when the bumper (10, Ch. 2.1. ) comes into
contact with the frame’s reinforcing V-block (19), both during opening and closing.
To do so:
- Bring the arm to the horizontal position (closed).
- Loosen the screw locking the cam in the horizontal position and slightly pivot the latter on the
shaft, until the LED on the sensor turns off (= detection of cam’s groove). Pivot the cam by a few
additional degrees.
- Bring the arm to the upright position (open) and repeat the operation with the upper position cam.

6.5. Maintenance
The indicators in this chapter refer to the illustrations in Ch. 2.1.
Never operate the barrier without bumpers (10, Ch. 2.1. ), even manually!
Maintenance activities must be carried out in compliance with the safety warnings listed in Chapter 1.
Unlock and remove the lateral and front doors (3) without damaging the ground wire that connects them to
the housing. Cut the circuit breaker (20 & 24).
Remove the cover (1) without damaging the ground wire that links it to the housing.
After the first 1,000 operations
· Check the adjustment of the limit switches (Ch. 5.3. ).
Every 6 months
· Visually check the position of the arm: Check whether the arm is properly vertical and horizontal
and that it does not bounce. If not, check whether the position sensors (7) are properly adjusted
and whether the rubber bumpers (10) are damaged.
· Check the adjustments described in Chapter 5.
· Clean the exterior of the housing and the arm using a soft rag impregnated with a mild detergent.
For countries with a lot of sun, we recommend treating the exterior of the housing with polish.
· Perform an audio check of the rotation of the bearings.
· Unlock the arm if the barrier is equipped with mechanical locking system by spreading the clip (83)
· Open the arm manually. It should be easy to lift and lower the arm.
· Test the automatic lifting of the arm, by cutting the power (models with automatic lifting).
Every year
· Check that the fastenings are tightened properly (torque): bearings, gear motor, hub, sensors,
spring assembly(ies), fastening of the arm, fastening to the ground, etc.
· Inspection of the condition of the electrical connections.
· Lubrication, using an anticorrosive multipurpose grease:
· Gears (11 + 15)
· Upper bearing(s) of the spring assembly (42)
· Spring guide rods (25 + 33)
· Lubricate using a liquid lubricant
· Lower part (in contact with the plate) of the clips (83) of the arm’s locking system (Ch 2.3.
Note: The bearings (4) and gear motor (9) are lubricated for their entire service life. Simply check
their tightness (absence of leaks).
Every 2 years
· Check tightness of the barrier’s base plate.
· Check the state of cleanliness inside the barrier.

6.6. Troubleshooting
SYMPTOM
The barrier stays
open
The barrier stays
locked, or locks
during movement
CAUSE
Open command is
given continually
The loop sensor
(optional) remains
engaged
The cell (optional)
sends information that
something is present
The variable speed
controller is defective
The limit switch
sensor provides
incorrect information
(see Ch.5.3. )
APPROPRIATE SOLUTIONS
Check that the open command is a pulse and not a
continual command.
Review the sensor’s sensitivity adjustment and reset the loop
sensor to zero. Adjusting the sensitivity adjustment to a setting
that is too high may lead to locking in the open position.
Check the condition of the LEDs on the detector to see
whether it and/or the loop are in good condition.
Check the alignment of the cells.
Check that the cells are not dirty.
See the list of defects regarding the variable speed controller.
In the horizontal position: ensure that the horizontal
position sensor is the only one to be in the cam’s cut-out
and that it is operational and connected correctly.
In the upright position: ensure that the upright position
sensor is the only one to be in the cam’s cut-out and that it
is operational and connected correctly.
The barrier stays
locked and the
display on the
control board is off
The barrier stays
locked, but the
control board display
is lit
Power supply
Short circuit on the
external communication
terminal block
Check the power supply at the general power supply box.
Check the current voltage at the entry of the cable to the
general circuit breaker (20, Ch. 2.1. ), and ensure that the
latter is engaged (circuit breaker at ON).
Check the command connections in accordance with the
wiring diagram as well as the correct tightening of all
electrical cables and tighten, where necessary.
Check the condition of the two fuses on the control board.
If the 5 green LEDs near the LCD are lit, check whether the
control board is in programming mode (cable RJ45 is
connected).
Check whether the red LEDs near the LCD (other than
analogue output) are lit.
- If not, switch off the mains supply and remove the
terminal blocks (on the AS1320 and AS1321 if present).
Switch the power back on and check again whether the
red LEDs are lit. If this is the case, a short circuit is
present in the terminal blocks. In order to reactivate
the outputs, the control board has to be turned on again.
- If so, see the defects displayed (PRDSTD – BL_xxx
menu Log/ Close status/Open status).

INPUTS
Signals from outside that are received by the control board.
There is a green LED under every input connection, which indicates its status (ON/OFF).
DI1, DI2, DI3, DI4 (cell): signal from the optional safety cells (see “connecting the presence sensors” below).
DI5 (Swing off sens./Lock):
1. Swing off sensor: for all machines except BL4x, signal emitted by the optional arm swing off detector
when it no longer detects the arm on the jaw. Also, configure the Arm Swing Off parameter in the OPTIONS
menu.
2. Lock: for BL4x, signal emitted by the arm locking device sensor, indicating the status of the lock (locked or
unlocked).
DI6 (reader A command): order to open from the optional badge reader.
DI7 (stop command): order to stop the movement of the obstacle immediately, from a push-button box, remote
control, etc. Also, see the Stop CMD parameter in the OPTIONS menu.
DI8 (open CMD): order to open the obstacle, from a push-button box, remote control, reader, etc. Also, configure
the Exploitation parameter in the QUICK START menu.
DI9 (close CMD): order to close the obstacle, from a push-button box, remote control, etc. Also, see the
Exploitation parameter in the QUICK START menu.
DI10 (lock open CMD): order to keep the obstacle in the open position, from an external switch.
DI11 (lock close CMD): order to keep the obstacle in the closed position, from an external switch.
DI12 (Sw open): signal from the opening limit-switch detector.
DI13 (Sw close): signal from the closing limit-switch detector.
DI14 (crank limit switch): signal from the presence detector switch of the crank used for manual operation of the
obstacle (only on some types of equipment). This turns off the motor command outputs (DO7 and DO8) to
prevent the obstacle from moving while the crank is engaged (safety).
If there is no crank limit switch on the equipment, connections B4 and C4 must be linked.
AI1 (analogue sensor): analogue signal from the analogue position sensor, which must be activated (Positioning
parameter under the QUICK START menu).
OUTPUTS
Signals sent by the control board to external elements.
There is a red LED under every output connection, which indicates its status (ON/OFF).
REL1- and REL1+: connectors of the relay (assignment is adjustable via the OUTPUT FUNCTION menu).
REL2- and REL2+: connectors of the relay (assignment is adjustable via the OUTPUT FUNCTION menu).
REL3- and REL3+: connectors of the relay (assignment is adjustable via the OUTPUT FUNCTION menu).
DO7 (rising motor): status 1 (ON) if the obstacle is opening or completely open.
DO8 (descending motor): status 1(ON) if the obstacle is closing or completely closed.
(DO9 = Power relay 1 (cf. OUTPUT FUNCTION menu) on X8 connector)
DO10 PWM and DO11 PWM (Pulse Width Modulation): power element outputs (for arm lighting, flashing light,
frequency inverter fan) adjustable via the OUTPUT FUNCTION menu: outputs 10 and 11.
AO1 (FI setting): analogue signal sent to the frequency inverter controlling the speed of the motor.

Connecting the presence sensors
The board accepts up to four Presence Sensors (cells and/or loops, the generic term used in the rest of the
manual and on the plans, diagrams and display is PS).
The cells are directly connected to connectors A, B and C (positions 13 to 16).
The loops are connected to the X13 connectors (loop x on connector DPx) (cable sections 2.5 mm²)
and the associated detector (Y) is connected to the corresponding pin (Z).
Note 1
combinations: either DP1 & DP2, either DP3 & DP4.
: a double detector allows the handling of 2 loops simultaneously, but only following 2
Note 2
: circuits DP1, DP2, DP3, DP4 of connector X13 are respectively linked to circuits DP1, DP2, DP3,
DP4 of connectors A, B and C. A loop and a cell may not be put on the same circuit (in other words, if a cell is
connected to DI1 (connector 16), a loop may not be at DP1 but may be at DP2, 3 or 4).
Note 3
Warning
: it is also necessary to configure the Exploitation parameter in the QUICK START menu.
: when the presence sensors are put in place, the obstacle may move. Hence, the presence sensors
should not be placed before power to the equipment has been cut (circuit breaker off).
Connecting the heating resistance (option)
The optional heating resistance is feed by the circuit breaker 24,
It is directly controlled by thermostat E.
