Safety Considerations
The eBOOM™has been developed as a response to a need for safer working conditions for traffic
controllers and roadwokers working in unpredictable live traffic sites. The eBOOM™can be used on its
own (must add the STOP sign) or as an integrated extension of the eSTOP (the STOP sign may not be
required in certain jurisdictions) when a physical barrier is required. It is designed to remove traffic
controllers from the hazard zones enabling traffic controllers to manage traffic movement within the
worksite from a safe distance. In order to reduce the risk to road workers, traffic controllers and road
users, the unit must always be operated effectively and consistently by authorized and trained operators.
The eBOOM™must be operated in accordance with all safety, operation and service instructions contained
in the manufacturer's operation and service manual. It is recommended that all operators read and
understand the manual before operating the eBOOM™. Operators must understand and comply with the
manufacturer's instructions as printed in the manual accompanying each eBOOM™in conjunction with
their respective Company’s Safe Work Method Statement.
The eBOOM™should only be operated by a designated, competent operator within the scope of on-site
operation parameters (such as the Company’s Safe Work Method Statement).
The eBOOM™shall be installed in a suitable location clear of obstructions. An appropriate risk assessment
shall be conducted to ensure the safe and suitable use of the eBOOM™. Examples of factors to consider
when assessing suitable location are safe distance from the traffic path, so that wide loads or turning
vehicles will not impact theunit, length of worksite,volume of traffic and topography. The eBOOM™should
be installed on a stable surface.
The eBOOM™system unit including the eBOOM™body, arm, tripod and battery box shall be kept clean. The
equipment shall be handled with care, the care you would extend to any electronic systems, such as your
radio.
The eBOOM™batteries shall be fully charged before operating the unit and must be used according to the
safety information.
The eBOOM™HRC and control procedures are built on the same platform as the eSTOP which has been
designed in accordance with Transport for NSW specification TSI-SP-081D, TDMR MRTS 264, Arrowes ISO
quality system and is ACMA approved. The application of the eBOOM™shall be in accordance with these
guidelines/standards as well as the respective company’s worksite risk assessment and Safe Work Method
Statements.
Any modifications made to the eBOOM™(unless by or approved by Arrowes) could compromise the
function and integrity of the eBOOM™and therefore the safe application of the units and voids the
warranty of the eBOOM™.

Obstacle sensor specifications
The eBOOM™is fitted with obstacle detection system which detects any obstacle which may prevent the
eBOOM™arm from getting into horizontal position. This feature has been added to prevents injury or damage
to any person or vehicle who/which may be obstructing the movement of eBOOM™arm.
The obstacle sensor can detect obstacles within the range as specified below.

Key Features
The eBOOM™is the first electronic boom barrier which weights 21kg, ensuring safe operations and complies
with OHS for lifting by an individual. Designed to remove the traffic controllers from the hazard zone and to
obstruct site entry, the eBOOM™can be used as a standalone or an integrated extension to eSTOP™. The key
features of the eBOOM™system are:
•Traffic controllers operate from a safe distance (up to 400m with option to increase distance).
•Can be implemented anywhere a stop/slow baton would normally be used.
•Can be operated with one controller (where there is clear line of sight) whilst the other takes a break
or is on rotation as the HRC can control 2 eBOOM™units.
•Environmentally robust, light weight, five-piece assembly, adjustable tripod legs for use at non flat
surfaces.
•IP65 rated compact Hand Remote Control (HRC).
•Hand Remote Control mimics eBOOM™states in real time.
•Wind load up to 100km/hr when used as per manufacturer’s guidance.
Safety Features
•When there is an obstacle, the eBOOM™arm stops lowering, the LED flashers and sound alert continue
its warning.
•Warning when the eBOOM™unit gets tilted by more than 200.
•The LED flashers flashes to alert drivers when the BOOM™is about to be deployed and continues flashing
lowered. The LED flashers are visible from 100m.
•The LED flashers are auto dimmed according to the surrounding light conditions (by reducing brightness
when it is dark ensuring the brightness does not become blinding).
•During operation, should communication failure occur between the HRC and the eBOOM™, the eBOOM™
arm will move to horizontal position after providing the 4 seconds warning.
•The eBOOM™arm automatically dislodge on impact. This prevents the eBOOM™from toppling over in
the event of any motorist crashing into the eBOOM™arm. The images below show how the arm gets
dislodged. The eBOOM™arm can be pushed back to its original position after the crash.
