OVERVIEW
This product belongs to our range of retractable traffic control posts. It is quick and easy to install, as it does not need to be adjusted or
calibrated and has been designed to regulate and prohibit vehicular access.
Both the CORAL 1050 and CORAL 1080 oil-hydraulic operators have anti-corrosion treated steel posts with a diameter of Ø100mm and
ranges of 500mm (Coral 1050) and 800mm (Coral 1080).
The product’s hallmark is its ease of installation: once the housing has been secured, the operator can be introduced ready for operation,
as soon as the wiring has been completed.
As soon as the retractable post receives a command (from a key switch or radio transmitter), it rises from its interred position. The post
is clearly visible at nighttime thanks to a reflective strip and the possibility of connecting a flashing light or traffic light. Using the electronic
microprocessor programmer, the operator can also be customised with presence indicator accessories (magnetic coils, presence
indicator photocells).
PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS
Before starting installation operations, it is important to follow the indications given below:
- Before digging the trench to house the housing, check that there are no pipes or other utilities that could interfere with
the preparatory operations.
- Check the firmness and consistency of the ground.
®
- Remove any obstacles hindering the post’s movement.

Start by removing the cover plate to reveal the operator and separate the individual components, with the aid of a hoist. Pic.2: this makes it
easy to extract the internal piston and hydraulic main unit container unit.
IMPORTANT: take care not to tear or cut wires.

The Housing is the component inside which the operator is installed. It is therefore essential, when securing it in the ground to check
that the top edge is level with the ground.
IMPORTANT: the top recess of the Housing (inside which the hydraulic main unit is placed), is not central to the tube below inside which
the oil-hydraulic piston unit is placed: the latter is 13cm from the “Back side” of the Housing (Pic.3 and Pic.4).

- Dig a trench in the ground in the point at which the Coral 1050 or Coral 1080 operator is to be installed, according to the
measurements shown in Pic.5 and Pic.6, and connect a Ø50 mm pipe leading to the Elpro S40 electronic programmer (10 metres
®
of cable are provided).
Place a 15 cm deep layer of loose gravel and pebbles on the bottom.
