Heavy Duty Standalone Solar Boom Gates & Barrier Gate Operator Loop Detector Combo Package (upto 6m Arm Length)

DC Powered Boom Operating System for security and traffic control management designed for entry and exit points at industrial complexes, body corporate managed complexes, factories, schools, car parks, caravan parks and more. The aluminum boom arm is lightweight and adjustable in size from 1m up to 6m in length. It is also supplied with pre installed reflective tape to help for visibility at night time.

The body itself is constructed from robust steel and finished in a smooth red powdercoat. The system is available in two diffrent orientations, a left side and a right side system depending on the best suited for the site and cabling structure.

The 80 Watt DC motor is very quiet and fast on opening and closing (~6 seconds per direction with a 6m arm and as little as ~2 seconds for a 1m arm), with precise limit encoder settings to ensure accurate positioning during every cycle.

Incase of a loss of power the system is equipped with a built in override to operate the boom gate into either the open and close position.

Included and pre-installed within the operator are TWO tensioning balancing springs to assist in ensuring a smooth jutter free closing movment. Tensions can be increased/decreased by adjusting preload if necessary or removing one of the springs when a shorter length arm is being used.

The internal control panel is fitted with on board push button switches for UP, DOWN and emergency STOP to assist with the installation process.

The control panel is completely pre-wired to the motor and features an on-board rectifier ready to connect the supplied external transformer.

Supplied with the automation kit the 24V 17aH battery system will allow for continued use of the gate system wether in day or night. The system can operate for up to one week of regular usage of 30 cycles per day without any charge from the solar panel (winter months/wet season) and will automatically recharge from sun light. When the system batteries are fully charged it will continue to float charge to keep the batteries topped up ready for use. In a case of extended use requirments or higher duty there are upgrade options to 33aH battery systems available.

The loop detector sensor module that is used wherever vehicles need to be detected to automatically trigger the system to operate. The loop detector module is installed within the system and is powered by the system itself.

From the loop detector module the supplied induction loop cable is fed and layered into a cutout in the driveway as per the illustration below. The system is supplied with a 40m roll of teflon insulated cable which can be upgraded to a larger roll if necessary based on the loop size and distance from the module.
