2. Main Features
2.1 Appropriate Use
In combination with other perimeter protection products, our boom barrier systems provide
controlled entry and exit of vehicles such as passenger cars and commercial vehicles. They
ensure efficient access control. In case access to the premises is protected by means of a
lockable sliding gate, the combination with a boom barrier system can significantly increase
the number of entries & exits
Our boom barrier systems are not designed for pedestrian passage.
Note
The boom barrier systems are not suited for the integration into a system of
escape routes. For that purpose, our product range includes different gates for
pedestrian passage.
For trouble-free opening of the boom barriers in case of an emergency–for example by the
fire brigade–special measures must be taken. We will be glad to submit suitable proposals to
you.
2.2 Product Description
We supply three fundamentally different types of boom barrier systems:
oHand-operated boom barriers Type GHS
oElectrically operated boom barriers Type GES und
oElectro-hydraulically operated boom barrier Type GEHS
Hand-operated boom barriers are primarily used whenever there is no need for frequent
opening and closing of the barrier. For example, they can be used when, during business
hours, uncontrolled access is to be possible, whereas access is to be prevented at other
times.

Electrically and electro-hydraulically operated boom barriers are suitable for individualised
control of entries and exits.
High-quality manufacturing and appealing design are hallmarks of the construction of our
boom barrier systems. These barriers are also designed for easy installation and low
maintenance.
2.2.1 Hand-operated boom barriers
Hand-operated barriers are available with the following standardised blocking widths of
2 m (Type GHS 2)
3 m (Type GHS 3)
4 m (Type GHS 4)
5 m (Type GHS 5)
6 m (Type GHS 6)
7 m (Type GHS 7)
8 m (Type GHS 8)
As an option, these hand-operated barriers can be fitted with a pendulum support or a fixed
support post. We recommend the use of such a type of support for the closed barrier boom
for blocking widths of 3 m and larger.
Figure 2.2
Example of an electro-mechanical barrier for separate entry
and exit ways (fitted with intercom system). Pedestrian
access is by means of a gate located next to the barrier. The
premises are protected with a fence.

Our hand-operated barriers consist of a self-supporting steel frame construction –the barrier
stand. The barrier-boom mount and the gas-filled damper used for counterbalancing are
located in the barrier stand. The stand is fitted with a base plate with drilled holes for bolting it
onto a concrete foundation. As standard, the stand is treated with high-quality galvanisation
and red powder coating. The barrier boom consists of an aluminium tube. The tube is tightly
sealed with a round plate at the front end to prevent any rain water or other dirt from entering
the tube. The boom is coated in white and fitted with red warning stripes.

In order to achieve greater blocking widths or to operate entries and exits separately, two
electro-mechanical boom barriers can easily be used as a dual-barrier system with the two
barriers facing each other. On electro-mechanical barriers with side-mounted barrier booms,
the barrier-boom mounts will then be installed on opposite sides of the barrier housings so as
to ensure that the booms are in alignment (see Figure 2.11).
The one-sided or fork-mounted barrier boom is made from aluminium and tightly sealed at
the open ends so as to prevent any rain water or other dirt from entering the boom. The
barrier boom is coated in white and fitted with red warning stripes.

Our electro-mechanical barriers have an electric-motor drive. A geared motor drives a crank
by means of a worm gear (which can be disengaged) which, when turning 1800, drives a
push rod with the appropriate leverage which in turn raises or lowers the barrier boom by 900.
The sinusoidal motion thus generated causes the motion of the barrier boom to start slowly,
accelerate continuously then decelerate before the boom slowly reaches its final position.
The electronic control unit is located in a plastic casing and also mounted in the frame
construction. This control unit provides a variety of functions and safety settings.

2.2.2.2 Electro-hydraulically operated boom barriers –drive and control unit
The electro-hydraulic boom barriers are driven by means of a hydraulic power unit that is
connected to the hydraulic cylinder using hydraulic hoses. The hydraulic cylinder is hinged
on a shaft in the barrier stand and on the swivel lever shaft and drives the up and down
movement of the barrier boom. The barrier stand is a pre-assembled unit. It mounts the
barrier boom and houses the hydraulic cylinder.
2.2.2.2.1 Hydraulic cylinder
The hydraulic cylinder features two-sided dampening so as to ensure that the lifting/lowering
speed decreases smoothly before the boom reaches either end position. The dampening
action can be set by means of adjusting screws and is achieved by reducing the volume of oil
flow.
Turning the screws to the right increases the degree of dampening, while turning the screws
to the left decreases it.
This design principle ensures not only short opening and closing times but also smooth start-
up and slow-down of the boom movement.
2.2.2.2.2 Hydraulic power unit
The hydraulic power unit is mounted in the barrier stand and consists of the following
components: oil reservoir with integrated hydraulic pump, oil filler neck, oil-drain plug, oil
level indicator, pressure control valve, multi-way valve “Open” and “Close”, the load-lowering
valves and one three-way valve for “normal operation”, “manual lifting” and “manual
lowering”.
2.2.2.2.3 Oil level / oil reservoir / oil change
The level of oil in the reservoir can be read from the oil level indicator.
It should always be between the markings.
Before putting the boom barrier into operation, the oil level should be at maximum.
Attention
Use only hydraulic oil that matches the type used in the initial filling.
The oil reservoir has already been filled at the factory.
After unscrewing the oil filler, hydraulic oil can be poured into the oil reservoir.
For a change of the oil, there is an oil-drain plug on the oil reservoir. If this unscrewed, the oil
can be drained into a suitable collecting vessel.

2.2.2.2.4 Control unit
The electronic control unit is located in a plastic casing and also mounted in the frame
construction. This control unit provides a variety of functions and safety settings.
2.2.2.2.5 Limit switch
When the final positions “open” or “closed” are reached, the drive is switched off by means of
limit switches. The limit switches are located in the barrier housing and are activated by
switch cams mounted on the swivel lever shaft.
The limit switches have been adjusted in the factory.

2.2.2.3 Operation
Our electrically and electro-hydraulically operated barriers are equipped with a high-quality
and user-friendly electronic control system. This system can be programmed with many
special functions. DIP switches allow for easy programming of the control unit.
A wide range of options is available for controlling and operating the boom barriers to meet
various requirements and levels of convenience when opening and closing the barriers:
onsite with a key or a code card, from a gate keeper’s lodge using a desk-top console, with a
remote control, by means of an intercom system or through vehicles activating induction
loops. In addition, the boom barriers can be configured for automatic closing.

2.2.2.4 Safety
Various safety devices are available as options:
oPhotoelectric barriers that, when interrupted, automatically stop the closing
operation of the barrier. Immediate automatic reopening of the barrier is possible.
oSafety pressure strips on the barrier boom protect against the boom colliding with
an obstacle.
oA hold-to-run (dead-man) control system prevents any unattended closing of the
barrier.
oTraffic lights control the directions of passage.
oRotating beacons provide advance warning.
oManual operation is possible at all times by means of a hand crank, e.g. in case of
a power loss.
