Hikvision DS-TMG420-H – a high-speed electromechanical road barrier (automatic boom barrier) designed to control vehicle entry and exit in car parks, residential complexes, business centres, industrial sites and other controlled areas. The unit features a brushless DC motor, electronic control and a fast boom movement mechanism. With a 3 m straight octagonal boom, the opening and closing time is approximately 1.8 s, while with a 4 m boom it is approximately 2.5 s. The robust 1.5 mm SGCC steel housing provides IP54 protection against dust and water splashes and IK09 impact resistance. The dark grey housing with orange-red front door is suitable for outdoor installations. Two remote controls are included, while the barrier boom is selected and ordered separately.

Key point:
In car parks and heavily used entrances, every second of barrier operation matters. Slow boom lifting can create vehicle queues, while poorly controlled closing may pose a risk to vehicles and people. Hikvision DS-TMG420-H combines rapid boom movement, brushless motor technology, an electronic control system and the ability to connect additional vehicle detection and safety devices. The barrier can be configured for 3 or 4 m passage solutions, supports remote control and can be integrated into parking and access control systems.

⚡ Spark: Phase, what makes this Hikvision road barrier special? Can it really raise the boom in less than two seconds?

⚙ Phase: Yes. With a 3 m octagonal boom, the lifting time is approximately 1.8 seconds. With a 4 m boom it is approximately 2.5 seconds. The speed depends on the type and length of the installed boom. The barrier uses a brushless DC motor, supports the connection of obstacle detection systems and provides remote control. Another important feature is that a vehicle detection radar, induction loop detector or photocells can be connected so that barrier operation does not rely on a timer alone.

Why is this high-speed road barrier useful?
Hikvision DS-TMG420-H is designed for fast and convenient vehicle-flow management. The brushless motor, 1.8–2.5 second boom movement time, remote control, RS-485 interface and safety-sensor connection options make it possible to create an automated entrance-control system. The robust IP54 and IK09 housing is suitable for outdoor use, while the selectable boom length allows the system to be adapted to the specific passage width.

Important regarding package contents:
Hikvision DS-TMG420-H is supplied as an electromechanical road barrier mechanism. The 3 m or 4 m boom is not part of the main package – it is selected and purchased separately. The actual width of the closed passage depends on the position of the barrier housing, boom mounting and installation structure.

• Car parks of apartment buildings.
• Entrances to gated residential areas and private properties.
• Car parks of offices, business centres and administrative buildings.
• Entrances to retail and service facilities.
• Paid and subscription-based parking systems.
• Vehicle control points at hotels and other commercial facilities.
• Entrances to industrial enterprises and production areas.
• Light-vehicle access areas at logistics and warehousing centres.
• Restricted-access technical and service areas.
• Automated vehicle-control systems integrated with radar sensors, card readers or licence-plate recognition equipment.

A Hikvision DS-TMG420-H road barrier with an additionally selected 3 m octagonal boom is installed at the car park of an apartment residential complex. The barrier is connected to a 230 V AC mains supply, while a vehicle-detection radar and selected resident access-control equipment are connected to the control system. When a vehicle approaches, the authorisation system sends an opening command. The boom rises in approximately 1.8 seconds, so the vehicle does not have to wait long. While the vehicle passes through the barrier, the safety sensor monitors the passage area and prevents unsafe closing. After the vehicle leaves the controlled zone and the closing conditions are met, the boom is lowered. If required by the administration, the barrier can also be operated using the supplied remote controls.

• Professional installation. Installation, electrical connection and commissioning of the electromechanical road barrier must be carried out by qualified automation and electrical specialists.
• Stable foundation. The barrier housing must be fixed to a solid foundation capable of withstanding boom movement, mechanism loads and wind loads.
• Installation space. Provide space for the 1060 × 370 × 262 mm housing, boom movement path and maintenance access.
• Electrical supply. The unit is connected to a 230 V AC mains supply using a suitable power cable, protective devices and protective earthing.
• Boom selection. The 3 m or 4 m boom is selected according to the entrance width, drive installation position and planned passage geometry.
• Boom fixing. The selected boom must be correctly inserted and fixed to the mechanism to ensure a reliable mechanical connection.
• Installation direction. When changing the boom direction from right-hand to left-hand, the barrier mechanism and control parameters must be reconfigured correctly.
• Boom height. The boom mounting height is 885 mm above ground. Slopes and raised areas in the passage surface must be considered at the installation site.
• Fast movement. The 1.8–2.5 s boom movement requires proper placement of safety devices and correct configuration of control logic.
• Obstacle detection. Photocells, radar sensors or vehicle detectors must be selected and positioned so that the barrier cannot close onto a vehicle or person.
• Automatic closing. The closing delay must be coordinated with the vehicle-detection system and safe-passage conditions.
• RS-485 connection. Communication cables must be connected according to the electrical characteristics of the control system and the communication wiring scheme being used.
• Control contacts. Open, close, stop and end-position signals are connected to the designated control terminals.
• Traffic-light connection. The designated external power supply is used for an additional traffic-light circuit; the electrical ratings of the interface must not be exceeded.
• Fault diagnostics. After installation, control commands, boom end positions, safety devices and fault-indication functions must be checked.
• IP54 protection. For outdoor installation, cable entries must be correctly installed and the inside of the housing protected against water accumulation.
• Emergency opening. If power fails, the manual mechanism should only be used after ensuring that boom movement will not create a hazard.
• Periodic maintenance. Check the mechanism, boom mounting, electrical contacts, motor operation and safety sensors.
• Pedestrian safety. Pedestrian traffic must not be routed through the hazardous boom movement zone.

⚡ Phase tip:
For a high-speed road barrier, boom raising time is not the only important factor. If vehicle traffic at the entrance is intensive, a suitable vehicle-detection system should be provided rather than relying solely on the automatic 10-second closing timer. A vehicle may stop or move more slowly, so radar, an induction-loop detector or photocells should ensure safe boom control. Also select the boom according to the actual passage width: a 3 m boom operates faster, but a wider entrance may require the 4 m version. Remember that both boom options are ordered separately.
