1.2 General safety information
The MAGSTOP barrier system has been designed, built and tested using state-of-the-
art technology and left our factory only after passing stringent safety and reliability
criteria. Nevertheless, the barrier system can represent a risk to persons and property
if it is not installed and operated correctly. These operating instructions must therefore
be read in their entirety and all safety information contained therein must be complied
with.
The manufacturer shall refuse to accept liability and shall withdraw warranty if this
barrier system is used incorrectly or is used for a purpose for which it was not
intended.
1.3 Intended use
The MAGSTOP MBE 35/50 barriers are designed to control vehicular (see
pictogram below) access and exits to car parks, car parking garages, access
control applications and highways.
The MAGTRONIC control units have been specially designed for controlling Magnetic
barriers.
Any other use of these barrier systems is not permitted.
Modifications or changes to the barrier or to the control modules are prohibited.
Only original Magnetic spare parts and accessories shall be used.
1.4 Warning and safety signage
The Magnetic Automation Corp. MIB barriers come with two (2) safety-warning labels
(see Figure 1 above) that must be applied to the barrier housing so it can easily be
seen when a pedestrian, bicycle users, or motorized vehicle uses the lane. Magnetic
Automation Corp. requires that you use universally identifiable pictograms in all
entrance/exit lanes, roadways, post, and walls. It is strongly recommended to paint a
“NO PEDESTRIAN” pictogram on the roadway immediately adjacent to the parking
barrier gate.

MBE35_50 OPERATION MANUAL 2005_10 6
1.5 Safety Requirements
-Use vibrant colors on parking equipment
-Always provide proper signage, both on the road way and on other equipment
-Maintain manufacturers warning stickers on gate housing and gate arms.
-Always require that sidewalks are parallel to entrance and exit lanes, or require
having pedestrian entrances on opposite side of vehicle entrance and exit.
IMPORTANT:
It is A MUST to have pedestrian sidewalks installed parallel to entrance and exit lanes
or to have pedestrian walkways on the opposite sides of the facility away of vehicle
traffic. It is also necessary to enforce that pedestrian are using those walkways and
do not enter or leave the parking facility on vehicle traffic lanes.
NOTE: NOT COMPLYANCE WITH THE ABOVE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
(Chapter 1.3 and 1.4) SHALL VOID ANY MANUFACTURERS LIABILITY!

Operation Instructions
MBE35_50 OPERATION MANUAL 2005_10 - 7 -
1.6 Operational safety
A safe clearance distance of at least 2 ft (24 inch) must be provided between
the tip of the barrier boom and the closest solid obstacle (building, wall, fence
etc.).
Any activity in the entrance and exit lanes should be monitored to ensure a safe
operation when opening or closing the barrier gates or to prevent altering or
vandalism to the equipment from unauthorized persons.
The motion of the barrier boom must be directly observable by the person operating
the barrier.
While the barrier boom is in motion, no pedestrian and no vehicle shall be in the
immediate vicinity of the barrier.
The assembly and installation instructions must be complied with in their entirety.
Any alterations must have received prior confirmation from Magnetic Automation
Corp.
Barrier booms longer than 14 ft require either a pendulum support or a supporting
pillar.
Only certified and trained electrical technicians may perform any electrical
connections, wiring work or exchange of components.
Before installing or maintaining the equipment the main power must be disconnected.

1.7 Technical developments
The manufacturer reserves the right to modify, without prior notice, the technical
specifications in order to accommodate the latest technical developments. Magnetic
Automation Corp. will provide information on the status of existing operating
instructions and on any alterations and extensions that may be relevant.
1.8 Warranty
Magnetic provides a limited warranty on its barriers that covers all mechanical and
electrical components, but excludes parts subject to wear and tear, for a period of two
years from the date of first use or for a maximum of three years from the date on
which the system was delivered provided that the operating instructions have been
complied with, no unauthorized servicing of machine components has taken place,
and that no mechanical damage to the machines is evident.
Please refer to our Warranty Statement.

2.0 Installation
2.1 Guidelines for Foundation
To ensure that the equipment is solidly bolted to the ground under all operation
conditions, a foundation with the following dimensions shall be provided:
Depth of foundation: at least 3ft (frost-depth)
Base area of foundation: 19” x 23 ½”
The base of the foundation is 4” wider towards the vehicle passage side, than in other
section of the foundation (see Fig. S0225).
Fig. S0225
View of the foundation
1 Anchor bolts (4x)
2 Empty conduit for induction loop lead wire, dia. ½”
3 Conduit for power cables, dia. 1”
4 Conduit for control cables, dia. ½”
5 Concrete foundation
Conduit pipes (with different diameters for low and high voltage cables as per
Electrical code) must be installed to run the mains supply cable, the control cables
and the induction loop lead wires.
A reinforcing steel cage is absolutely essential for the stability of the foundation (see
Fig. S0102).

Operation Instructions
MBE35_50 OPERATION MANUAL 2005_10 10
The foundation shall be constructed with at least 2500 PSI grade concrete. The
mounting surface must be leveled to insure a solid base for the barrier gate.
Once the concrete has set to an adequate hardness, the holes for the anchor bolts
can be drilled using the dimensions shown in Fig. S0112 as a guide. Magnetic
Automation Corp. recommends using ∅3/8” anchor bolts. Please refer to the anchor
bolt manufacturers installation requirements.
2.1 Mounting the housing to the ground
To mount the barrier gate on the concrete surface, follow the instructions below.
1. Carefully remove the gate from its shipping crate.
2. Open the barrier door
3. Place the gate on the desired position on the curb but leave 6”-12” distance from
the front of the housing to the curb line.
4. Place the gate so that the gate arm flange faces the opposite direction of traffic.
Please refer to the figure below and compare the Packing list to assure the
correct flange position (example: MBE35R-C100 = RH, MBE35L-C100 = LH).
5. Using a marker, follow the outside and inside contours to the concrete.
6. Remove barrier gate.
