Installation Dimensions

Foundation fixed support

350 x 350 mm

Fondation for barrier stand

550 x 550 mm

3.1. Installation

a) The foundation has to be frost-free with a horizontal surface of 550mm x 550mm for the

barrier stand and 350mm x 350mm for the fixed support (optional).

b) Use either bolts to cast into the foundation or after the foundation is hardened, drill holes for

heavy duty dowels. Please make sure the drilling holes for the fixed support are aligned correctly (130 mm/110 mm).

c) Secure the barrier stand and the fixed support (optional) on the foundation.

d) Disengage and close the barrier. Please engage the barrier in this position.

e) Connect the boom (cut the boom length if required). Please note that a stabilisation rope is

necessary for a boom length of 5,000mm and longer (see 3.2).

f) Fasten the counter weights onto the boom connector. For the quantity of weights please see

table under paragraph 2.

g) Open and close the barrier a few times. Make sure it blocks correctly in the end positions.

Guy joints

Trapezoid joints

Turnbuckles

3.2. Installing the stabilisation rope (necessary for boom length 5,000mm and longer)

a) Mount the trapezoid joints at the boom connector left and right with the screws of the barrier

boom. Make sure the alignment is correct (see right side of drawing).

b) Screw the guy joints together with the boom extension onto the barrier boom. Make sure the

alignment is correct (see left side of drawing).

c) Mount the stabilisation ropes (1x left, 1x right) as follows:

1. Connect one end of the wire rope (with dead-eye) to the guy joint, the other end to the

turnbuckle.

2. The turnbuckle has to be mounted to the trapezoid joint.

d) Using the turnbuckles tighten both ropes evenly.

ATTENTION!

The connection screws of the bolt disc represent a vandalism protection (predetermined braking point). They prevent greater damage to the mechanical parts in case the boom is forced open by pushing. The connection screws should be replaced with equivalent screws only (DIN 912 – M6 x 25 – 8.8).
