2 Safety
2.1 General notes on safety
The valid regulations and standards have to be observed during installation
and operation, e.g. DIN EN 13241-1, DIN EN 12445, DIN EN 12453 etc. Only
the use of spare parts made by the original manufacturer is allowed.
Do not put a defective barrier into operation.
After set-up (installation) every user of the equipment has to be instructed
about the operation and function of the barrier.
In order to reduce the risk potential related to the movement of the barrier
boom, additional optical and/or acoustical warning devices should be installed.
2.2 Notes on safety for the operation
Children and not instructed persons are not allowed to operate the barrier.
No persons, objects, or animals are allowed within the range of the barrier
movement during opening or closing.
Never reach into moving parts of the barrier.
Drive through the barrier only after complete opening.
The barrier has to be secured depending on the type of usage, corresponding
to the valid standards and regulations.
The safety devices have to be checked regularly for functioning according to
the standards and regulations, at least twice a year.
P 2500 - P 500
2.3 Notes on safety for the operation with radio remote
control
The radio remote control should only be used, if the area of movement of the
barrier is always completely visible by the operator and thus it is assured, that
no person, object, or animal is present within this range of movement.
The radio remote control transmitters have to be carefully kept, so that an
unintentional use is impossible.
Radio remote controls should not be operated at radio-technical sensitive
locations, like airports or hospitals.
Interferences by other (properly operated) radio communication installations,
which are used within the same frequency range, cannot be ruled out.

2.4 Intended use – Vehicle traffic
The operational safety can only be ensured when the barrier is used as
intended.
After installation, the barriers of series P 2500-5000 serve as passage control
of vehicle paths exclusively of usage class Vehicular III and IV.
CAUTION!
Danger of impact and crushing!
With inadequate safety measures the movement of the
barrier boom can result in impact or crushing points
between the boom and solid objects within the movement
area.
In order to reduce the risk potential by a moving barrier
arm, additional safety devices of type B1 or B2
according to UL 325 (see table 31.1 of UL 325) should
be installed. The internal entrapment protection system
of the barrier P 2500-5000 corresponds to type A.
Two independent entrapment protections must be
installed before commissioning.
For the reversal of the gate, P541 must be set to "1"
andP542 must be set to "0". See "Installation and
operation instructions Part 2" sec. 2.2.5.6 and 2.2.5.7.
The gate operator must be equipped with an audio
alarm. See "Installation and operation instructions Part2"
The controller is a product component and serves to control the barrier.
Any use above and beyond the above mentioned use is prohibited and
constitutes improper use.

WARNING!
Danger of impact and crushing!
During the barrier movement, energy is saved in the
springs. The springs are not tight and thus energy-free only
in barrier position OPEN.
Mount and dismount the springs in barrier position
OPEN only. If necessary open the barrier by mechanical
emergency release and move the barrier manually into
position OPEN.
WARNING!
Risk of crushing
During the barrier movement crushing points arise at many
points of the barrier mechanics.
Before installation, maintenance or repair work at the
barrier mechanics turn the power supply off and secure
it against unintentional restarting.
WARNING!
Danger through voltage!
Danger of an electric shock.
Before installation, maintenance or repair work at the
barrier mechanics turn the power supply off and secure
it against unintentional restarting.
WARNING!

Keep a sufficient safety distance (min. 19.7in) during the
barrier movement
Children are not allowed to play within the barrier area
or operate the barrier.
Opening and closing of the barrier is only allowed with
the barrier in view. No persons or objects are allowed in
the danger zone.
WARNING!
Danger of crushing!
Crushing points arise at many areas of the barrier
mechanics during the barrier movement.
Disconnect the barrier from the power supply before
installation, maintenance or repair work at the barrier
mechanics and secure against reactivation.

4.1 Installation information for partly completed machinery
The partly completed machinery must not be put into service until the
final machinery into which it has to be incorporated has been declared
inconformity with the provisions of the machinery directive.
The safety functions of the controller comply with EN ISO 13849-1:2008 Kat.2
PLc.
DANGER!
Not-disengeable power supply
Risk of death by electric shock
According to EC Directive 2006/42/EG the mains supply
has to be equipped with an all-pole circuit breaker.
DANGER!
Danger through voltage!
Danger of an electric shock.
Only certified electricians should connect the barrier to
the mains supply.
CAUTION!
Danger of crushing and shearing!
With inadequate safety measures the movement of the
barrier boom can result in impact or crushing points
between the boom and solid objects within the movement
area.
According to DIN EN 12453, for an application with
pedestrian traffic, depending on the type of use and type
of activation, suitable safety devices have to be installed
additionally, in order to provide the minimum level of
protection.
4.2 Declaration of conformity
Minimum clearances to solid objects must be observed.
After the installation an EG-declaration of conformity according to ECmachinery directive 2006/42/EG for the complete system has to be issued by
the person responsible for the integration (according to product standard DIN
EN 13241-1).

5 Function description
Barriers serve as passage control of vehicle paths. By raising and lowering of
the barrier boom the passage is granted or obstructed.
For a boom length of 157.48in we recommend the use of a fixed or swinging
support, for a boom length of more than 157.48in the use of a fixed or
swinging support is mandatory.
The controller offers the possibility to activate the barrier by radio remote
control.
The controller is able to observe the max. permitted force which was set
before in the learning sequence. If during the closing movement more force is
needed, the barrier reverses. Additionally several different safety features, e.g.
photoelectric barriers, can be connected.
CAUTION!
Danger of impact and crushing!
With inadequate safety measures the movement of the
barrier boom can result in impact or crushing points
between the boom and solid objects within the movement
area.
In order to reduce the risk potential related to the
movement of the barrier boom, additional optical and /
or acoustic warning devices should be installed.
