Read & Plan
Read and follow the Important Safety Information provided in the Programming and Operations
Manual prior to installing the WedgeSmart DC. Review the following installation instructions and
make sure to conform to UL 508A site specications and all local and federal regulations and codes.
Consider
accessibility &
clearance
Determine Wedge Plate Location
For alignment purposes, use the chassis
template provided. Consider recessing
the wedge plate if vehicle clearance issues
exist. For example, car haulers have minimal
clearance between the pavement and the
trailer. For additional foundation information,
see page 2.
Typical Single Lane Parking Garage Vehicle Loop Layout
For additional Loop Layout information, see page 7 and page 8.

NOTICE: To achieve CRASH ENGINEERED RATING:
• Excavate hole for the foundation. Soil density to 95% of standard proctor (ASTM-698).
• Reinforced concrete pad. One layer rebar #5 (⅝ inch) Grade 40 or better, spaced approx. 8"apart.
• Cure concrete properties, at minimum, 3000 psi with a smooth nish and proper drainage.
• Use Anchor Kit MX3460 (Grade B7 threaded steel rod and HIT-RE500 Epoxy adhesive).
Minimum 4 anchor bolts secure each hinge (6 mounting holes available at each hinge).

Site Considerations
• Types of vehicles using the facility
• Clearance considerations
• Grade of ingress and egress
• Pad mount: Grade level or Recessed
• Grounding requirements
• Use of auto close feature
• Loops: A, B, C, D
• Access control
The B loop must be
located on the barrier arm
side.

Installing Loop C, 2 ft from the edge of
hinge plate allows a standard vehicle to
bridge and trigger both loops which, when
cleared, activates automatic closure.
See “WedgeSmart DC: Loop
Layouts” for more information.
Epoxy is used to secure anchor bolts.
It requires 12 hours to cure. WedgeSmart DC
cannot be operated during the curing time.

Set the Foundation
To ensure the stability of the WedgeSmart DC, the foundation must be constructed
in accordance with the following guidelines:
Measure and Lay Conduit for Communication & Power
Assemble Rebar Mat
1. Place one layer rebar mat at 8-inch on center (OC)
2. Stagger rebar mat between anchor bolts.
3. Use rebar #5 (⅝ inch), Grade 40 or better.
Soil Density compacted to 95%
per ASTM-698

NOTICE: Six bolt hole mounts exist at 3 hinge locations.
CAUTION
Use the template to make sure rebar

does not interfere with anchor bolts.
Also, note that the anchor holes cannot
be drilled with the chassis in place.
Example
Concrete Template
Chassis base & conduit
Min. Requirement: Use of 4 anchor bolts at each hinge location.
1" (25 mm)
Two ¾" anchor mounts for strap bracket. AVOID REBAR interference in this area.
• Excavate a hole for the foundation to house the rebar mat and anchor bolt
assemblies. Soil compression under and around the foundation shall be compacted
to a soil density of 95% of standard proctor (ASTM-698).
• Add gravel where necessary to ensure a solid soil base. Soil must be stable and adequate to support the
weight of the foundation.
NOTICE: Softer soils require a larger footing. Employ the services of a structural or civil engineer for site
specic considerations. In Northern latitudes, consider the frost line.
• The WedgeSmart DC must be installed on a level surface. The chassis and wedge plate must be
plumb, level and on grade with the roadway surface.
NOTICE: Be aware of low clearance vehicles, such as car haulers. Recess the concrete pad accordingly.
• Cure concrete properties, at minimum, 3000 psi with a smooth nish and proper drainage. Slope
drainage ¼-inch per foot within 2 feet of the operator (2 cm per meter).
• Use Anchor Kit MX3460 (Grade B7 threaded steel rod and HIT-RE500 Epoxy adhesive.
A minimum of 4 anchor bolts required to secure each hinge
(6 mounting holes available at each hinge).
