Introduction and Warnings

This equipment is part of a large range of traffic flow products. They are designed to be easy to install, as

all settings and internal wiring has been completed in our factory. Any of the instructions in this manual

should only be carried out by a qualified service engineer or a competent person.

The kerbs are ready to bolt down, connect in the single phase supply and any loops etc and then power

up. In this manual there is important information on how to do this, but most importantly of all how to do

this safely. Please approach any task responsibly and safely.

The following information is a guide only, and whilst we have made every effort to be accurate and correct

there may be printing errors which we cannot be held responsible for.

With a correct installation you can expect to enjoy many years of reliable service from this product, we do

however recommend that the product has a bi-annual service carried out by an engineer. Please contact

our service department to obtain a quote. As we manufacture the products we are best suited to care for

your equipment.

Thank you for your custom and welcome to the exciting world of Total Traffic Flow Solutions.

Important Safety Notice

Sliding kerbs are designed to Control the flow of vehicular traffic

primarily. It can be dangerous to allow the passage of

pedestrians and any other self-powered animal or device to

utilise this method of access without appropriate warnings and or

signage.

It may be necessary for the end user of this product to provide

an alternative, safe method of access to cater for the previously

mentioned categories.

The end user should fit all necessary signage and warning

notices to either side of the kerb, which should be visible and

clear from all directions of approach.

The product that was shipped to you was designed with a control

program to protect all categories from harm or affect this

however is only a fail safe and should not be modified or

tampered with by any unauthorised person not sanctioned by the

PF8000

This article describes how your equipment will be delivered to you, specifications on the transportation

used and advice including health & safety on movement of the equipment.

The kerb should ALWAYS! be in the lowered position before any movement commences, this ensures that

the kerb does not distort or get damaged. Refer to Manual Release instructions on Page 6 of this manual

to move the kerb into this position.

Illustration shows kerb as it will be delivered

The manufacturer will use a qualified transport company to deliver the product conforming to the

necessary regulations as detailed below:

ŸAll drivers are qualified hi-ab certified

ŸAll drivers are tested once yearly

ŸAll drivers carry risk assessments and method statements (available on request)

ŸThey are controlled under law to conform as there are no trade regulation standards to comply with

Health and safety Considerations:

Moving Goods Safely (MGS) is a national project involving both the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and

Local Authorities (LA) working in partnership. The project aims to reduce injuries and ill-health arising from the

movement of goods from supplier through haulier to the recipient and end user including any home deliveries.

The project will focus upon the delivery and collection of goods and the hazards this generates. It covers the

main areas that cause the majority of injuries and ill-health to workers, including:

ŸWorkplace transport;

ŸSlips & trips, and;

ŸMusculoskeletal disorders (MSD).

The movement of goods presents us, as health and safety regulators, with the challenge of dealing with a huge

variety of issues. The commercial organisations involved within the movement of goods are diverse including

haulier, third party logistics providers, pallet networks, retailers etc, with some very large companies,

thousands of small businesses and the self-employed. The movement of goods is more than just trucks on the

road with a large proportion of accidents happening at the delivery/collection sites that are often not directly

under the control of the company making the delivery or collection. Communication and cooperation problems

can arise due to the many organizations involved in the movement of the goods, and this can also lead to

difficulties in effectively managing health and safety.

Guide to Physical Installation PF8000

Installation may be broken down into the following stages:

· Excavation of Blocker pit.

· Installation of 100mm conduit for hoses and signal cable.

· Construction of sump pit ( if required )

· Installation of drainage pipes.

· Fabrication of rebar cage.

· Construction of Blocker foundation base.

· Installation of Blocker unit.

· Backfilling of Blocker pit.

· Installation of inductive road loops ( if required ).

· Mounting of traffic lights ( if required ).

· Construction of HPU cabinet base.

· Installation of conduit for power / signal and access control cables.

· Pulling of cables and hoses.

· Positioning of HPU cabinet.

· Connecting power cables and hoses.

Road Blocker;

To be installed across the roadway with the curved edge of the rising wedge fitted on the insecure (attack side).

The wedge pivot points are to be positioned on the secure side of the site.

The blocker may be sited on a rising or falling road surface and allowed to follow the line of the slope, however, the

blocker must be the camber of the road. Provision must be made for drainage of water from the inside of the

blocker.

If the Blocker is to be sited in an area which is susceptible to flooding or a high-water table, a sump pit must be

provided in the

blocker foundation and a suitable pump system used to keep the inside of the Blocker free of water. A 100mm pvc

duct (for the two hydraulic hoses and the signal cable) must be provided between the Blocker and the HPU cabinet.

Manual Release Guide

kerb Maintenance PF8000

Please use the following instructions to operate the kerb manually, the following

is assuming you have powered down the unit and opened the HPU cabinet door:

IMPORTANT NOTE

In order for the equipment to comply to the legislation/directives noted in this document it must be maintained and have a maintenance

schedule as documented in Regulation 5 of “The workplace health & Safety Welfare Regulations 1992"

As stated at the beginning of this manual we recommend a bi-annual service, but at a bear minimum, it is imperative that you get a service

done once every 12 months. This is not a sales tactic in disguise, there is a very serious health and safety issues/risks associated with not

complying to this. Also in order for your kerb to keep complying with the appropriate legislation.

ŸBefore carrying out any maintenance to the installation, disconnect the mains power supply.

ŸMake sure you have disconnected/Isolated the power before attempting any work.

ŸA Maintenance Contract should be sought from a specialist company after a maximum of 5000 manoeuvres or 1year from the install date.

ŸOccasionally clean the photocell optical components and make sure they are free from dirt, water, rain, soil etc..

ŸHave a qualified technician (installer) check the correct setting of the electric clutch.

ŸIf the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its technical assistance service, or else by a suitably

qualified person, in order to prevent any risk.

ŸWhen any operational malfunction is found, and not resolved, disconnect the mains power supply and request the assistance of a qualified

technician (installer). When automation is out of order, activate the manual release to allow the opening and closing operations to be

carried out manually.

ŸGearbox drive unit is “sealed” for life and requires no further lubrication.

PF8000

As Pictured above use the “Emergency lower valve” to release the blocker. Please ensure you have

turned the power off!

When this procedure is complete put the valve back to its home position to allow for normal operation

when the blocker is turned back on.

Technical Data PF8000

The PF Rising Kerb Kerb is essentially a hinged Kerb rising above the road

surface to prevent unauthorised access. We manufacture all sizes from 2m up

to 5m but can double up to span roads up to 12m wide. We also offer a single

kerb with the attack face on both sides if required.

Our 3-phase motor driven hydraulic power pack, which is mounted within the

control cabinet, provides motive power for raising and lowering action. The

kerb is ﬁtted with raise and lower limit proximity switches which cable back to

the control panel with the hydraulic hoses.

As all sites vary, the kerbs are controlled via a programmable logic controller,

which means its compatible with all types of access control and can be

operated to the customer’s exact speciﬁcation.
