615 AUTOMATIC SYSTEM
The 615 automatic system consists of an aluminium beam
with reflex reflectors, and a steel upright subjected to
cataphoresis treatment and painted with polyester paint.
The upright houses the hydraulic operator and is designed
also to house the electrical control equipment. The operator,
which moves the beam, consists of a hydraulic pump unit
and a double-acting cylinder.
The system is supplied with an adjustable anti-crushing
protection safety device. It also includes a device stopping
the beam in any position, and a manual release command
for use in case of power cuts or faults.
The beam balancing spring and the electronic control unit
(not supplied) must be ordered with reference to the sales
price list.
The 615 automatic system was designed and built for
controlling vehicle access. Do not use for any other purpose.
1. DESCRIPTION AND TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
1.1. MAXIMUM USE CURVE
The curve makes it possible to establish maximum work time
(T) according to use frequency (F).
E.g. The 615 automatic system can operate non-stop at a use
frequency of 50%.
To ensure efficient operation, operate in the work range
below the curve.
Important: The curve is obtained at a temperature of 20°C.
Exposure to the direct sunlight can reduce use frequency
down to 20%.
Calculation of use frequency
The percentage of effective work time (opening + closing)
compared to cycle total time (opening + closing + pause
times).
Calculation formula:
Ot + Ct
%F = X 100
Ot + Ct + Pt + It
where:
Ot = openingtime
Ct = closing time
Pt = pause time
It = interval time
between a
full cycle and
the next.

•When moving, the beam must not, on any account,
meet any obstacles or aerial voltage cables.
•The soil must permit sufficient stability for the foundation
plinth.
•There must be no pipes or electric cables in the plinth
excavation area.
•If the barrier body is exposed to passing vehicles, install,
if possible, adequate means of protection against acci-
dental impact.
•Check if an efficient earth socket is available for con-
nection to the upright. Use the supplied nuts and washer
(fig. 5 ref.B).
4.2. MASONRY FOR FOUNDATION PLATE
1) Make a foundation plinth as shown in fig.4 (referred to
clayey soil)
2) Wall the foundation plate as shown in fig.4, supplying one
or more sheaths for routing electric cables. Using a spirit
level, check if the plate is perfectly level. Wait for the

615 AUTOMATIC SYSTEM
GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS
If correctly installed and used, the 615 automatic system
ensures a high degree of safety.
Some simple rules on behaviour can prevent accidental
trouble:
- Do not pass under the beam when it is moving. Wait for the
beam to open fully before passing under it.
- Do not, on any account, stay under the beam.
- Do not stay near the automatic system, and do not allow
children, persons or things to do so, especially when it is
operating.
- Keep radio controls or other pulse generators away from
children, to prevent the automatic system from being
activated involuntarily.
- Do not allow children to play with the automatic system.
- Do not willingly obstruct beam movement.
- Prevent any branches or shrubs from interfering with beam
movement.
- Keep indicator-lights efficient and easy to see.
- Do not attempt to activate the beam by hand unless you
have released it.
- In the event of malfunctions, release the beam to allow
access and wait for qualified technical personnel to do the
necessary work.
- When you have set manual operation mode, cut power to
the system before restoring normal operation.
- Do not in any way modify the components of the automa-
tion system.
- Do not attempt any kind of repair of direct action whatever
and contact qualified personnel only.
- At least every six months: arrange for qualified personnel to
check the automatic system, safety devices and earth
connection.
DESCRIPTION
The 615 automatic system is an ideal barrier for controlling
vehicle access areas up to 5 m in width and of medium transit
frequency.
The hood contains a hydraulic pump unit, a double-acting
cylinder, and the beam balancing spring.
The beam consists of an aluminium profile with red reflex
reflectors so it can easily be seen even in the dark.
Barrier operation is controlled by a electronic control unit
housed in an enclosure with adequate degree of protection
against atmospheric agents, and which can be housed
inside the hood.
The beam is normally closed in horizontal position.
When the electronic control unit receives an opening
command via the radio control or any other pulse generator,
it activates the hydraulic equipment which rotates the beam
through 90°until it reaches the vertical position allowing
access. If automatic mode was set, the beam closes
automatically after selected pause time has elapsed.
If the semi-automatic mode was set, a second pulse must be
sent to close the beam.
An opening pulse given during re-closing always reverses
movement.
A stop pulse (if supplied) always stops movement.
For details on barrier behaviour in different function logics,
consult the installation Technician.
The automatic systems include safety devices (photocells)
that prevent the beam from re-closing when there is an
obstacle in the area they protect.
The 615 automatic system is supplied (as a standard item)
with an anti-crushing protection safety devices which limits
the torque transmitted to the beam.
The hydraulic system guarantees the beam is stopped in any
position.
Manual opening is, therefore, only possible by using the
release system.
The(flashing)indicator-lightindicates that the beamismoving.
MANUAL OPERATION
If the barrier has to be moved manually due to a power cut
or fault of the automatic system, use the release device as
follows:
The supplied key is triangular.
- Fit the triangular key (Fig.1) in the lock and turn it anti-
clockwise through 1 turn.
- Open and close the barrier manually.
