B 604 AUTOMATED SYSTEM
The B 604 automated system is an electronic barrier designed for
vehicle accesses
The automated system mainly consists of three parts:
A motor body which integrates the non-reversing low voltage
motor, the control board, the flashing light, the balancing spring
and the release system.
The rod of which several types are available according to instal-
lation requirements.
The securing support, available for on-wall or on-column instal-
lation.
The built-in control unit was positioned to facilitate all the wiring,
programming and adjustment operations.
A handy manual release, protected by a personalised key, makes it
possible to move the rod manually in the event of a power cut.
Before you begin to install the barrier, read all the instructions
carefully. Incorrect installation or incorrect use of the au-
tomated system could be a source of danger to people.
The automated system was designed and built for vehicle
access only - do not use for any other purpose.
