A car park is installed in an apartment residential complex and may only be accessed by residents and authorised visitors. At an entrance suitable for a boom barrier up to 4 m long, a NICE WIDEMR10 electromechanical road barrier is installed. Selected access control devices and safety sensors are connected to the integrated control unit. When a vehicle arrives and the system receives an authorised opening command, it raises the boom. The minimum opening time of 3.5 s allows the vehicle to enter the area quickly. Once the vehicle has passed safely and the preset safety conditions have been fulfilled, the boom is lowered. During intensive traffic, the barrier can perform many repeated cycles. If electrical power is lost, the drive can be released using a triangular key, while a system equipped with a PS324 backup battery retains the ability to operate automatically.

• Professional installation. Road barrier installation, electrical connection and commissioning must be carried out by qualified gate automation and electrical specialists.
• Mounting base. The unit must be fixed to a stable base capable of withstanding loads caused by boom movement and wind.
• Housing position. Sufficient space must be left at the installation location for the 320 × 205 × 1000 mm housing, boom movement and maintenance access.
• Passage width. WIDEMR10 is designed for a boom up to 4 m long. The boom configuration must match the actual passage width and site geometry.
• Left- or right-hand installation. The boom side is selected according to entrance direction, available space and arrangement of safety zones.
• Electrical supply. The unit is connected to a 230 V AC electrical supply. 24 V DC is the operating voltage of the internal electromechanical drive.
• Protective earthing. The metal housing and electrical system must be connected in accordance with electrical equipment protection requirements against electric shock.
• Electrical protection. The power supply circuit must include correctly selected overcurrent protection and other required electrical safety devices.
• Boom balancing. After the boom and additional accessories are installed, spring tension is adjusted according to the total boom load.
• Spring mechanism. The balancing springs can store significant mechanical energy. Adjustment and maintenance work must only be performed when the mechanism has been safely secured.
• Boom movement zone. During opening and closing, no people, vehicles or other obstacles may be present in the boom movement path.
• Photocells and safety sensors. The access control system must be configured so that the presence of vehicles and people in hazardous zones is detected properly.
• Speed and crushing forces. After installation, movement speed is adjusted and safety functions are checked according to the site-specific risk assessment.
• Additional boom accessories. When additional boom components are installed, their effect on the total weight and balancing system must be taken into account.
• Mechanical release. The triangular-key mechanism may only be used after confirming that the boom cannot move uncontrollably.
• Backup battery. PS324 must be installed according to the compatible connection system while ensuring proper electrical and mechanical safety.
• Weather exposure. The IP44 housing must be installed so that water cannot accumulate inside it and the cable entries are not compromised.
• Maintenance. Drive operation, boom balancing, fixing elements, control contacts and safety devices should be inspected periodically.
• Vehicle and pedestrian areas. The barrier boom is intended to regulate vehicle traffic. Pedestrian movement must be organised to avoid dangerous contact with the moving boom.

⚡ Phase tip:
When designing an automatic road barrier system, it is important to assess not only the passage width but also the actual traffic intensity. NICE WIDEMR10 is designed for up to 300 cycles per hour, so it can be used where entry and exit occur frequently. However, a fast 3.5-second opening time does not in itself mean that vehicles can move without safety control. Properly selected photocells, control logic, boom balancing and mechanical safety measures are essential components of a safe system. Also remember that the barrier drive operates at 24 V DC, but the unit itself is powered from a 230 V AC mains supply.
