MBE 35/50 Gates

Technical Description

The ECOLINE barrier represents the combination of our proven Magnetic technology with a single phase torque motor, housing and conventional control for both manual and automatic operation. Additional features of the ECOLINE barrier are easy setup and installation. These barriers are suitable for all applications with simple requirements like gated communities, small car parks or those controlled by a guard. The controller and a limit switch are integrated in the barrier. The barrier boom may be supplied in either standard or customized length.

The reliable direct drive consists of a maintenance-free torque motor and the lever system which enables a harmonious movement of the barrier boom. The counterbalance springs balance the boom weight. Using the lever system the barrier boom is locked in both end positions open or closed. In case of power failure the barrier can easily be opened manually. This can be done without using any tools. The precise spring adjustment that corresponds to the boom length can be done quickly on site. This is necessary for every installation. An automatic opening of the barrier boom in case of power failure can be achieved by a stronger adjustment of the springs. In the end positions the motor remains under power and the low power consumption of the motor is dissipated in the form of heat which guarantees the barrier to be operated at low temperatures and also prevents the occurrence of condensation in the motor and housing.

The barrier consists of a self-supporting and compact housing with a UV-resistant and environmentally-friendly powder coat finish for maximum protection against corrosion. The housing color comes as standard in RAL9010 White. The controller and the power switch are located on the mounting plate. Pre-mounted DIN-rails enable an easy installation of additional electrical devices. The mounting plate and the drive unit within the barrier housing are readily accessible through the maintenance door at the left hand side. The top cover can also easily be removed.

The barrier boom is extruded from highly stable aluminum alloy, to produce an octagonal profile of 4" x 2 x 1/16" thickness and finished with a RAL 9010 white paint then applied with red high reflective tape strips. The boom is readily visible even at night. If the barrier is to be any longer than 14 ft, it is imperative to use either a pendulum support or support post. If the available vertical height is restricted, the barrier can optionally be supplied with an articulated boom.

The ECOLINE controller enables the barrier to be operated manually or automatically. There are 11 standard functions to be selected for operating the barriers. These functions cover all standard applications. The connection of additional safety equipment for pedestrians is possible. Besides the standard operating modes several special functions are additionally integrated. These enable the operation of traffic lights. The storage of opening pulses (vend signal count) makes access control possible. After power failure there are three possibilities to restart the barrier: manual reset, signal reset or automatically. For safety reasons the manual reset function is factory-set. This means the barrier remains open as long as the reset button at the control unit is pressed. The electrical connections are made on labeled terminal blocks. The motor is driven by a TRIAC output stage. All signal inputs and relay outputs are opto-coupled. Selection of the operating mode and the special functions are by a rotary switch and DIP-switch. For the power supply of optional external devices such as induction loop detectors, a 24 V DC / 0.5 A circuit is supplied.
