Table2-2,ExcavationDetails
Ensure barrier placement according to the approved site plan to ensure road crown, underground utilities,
associated passive knee walls or static bollards are taken into account.
2.4.2 StepTwo–PlaceBarrier
Once the soil is compacted (to local standard), place the RSS-4000 Vault with Insert Assembly into the pit
leaving a 1 foot area for concrete on each end and 2 foot area to the front and rear. The barrier is typically
installed ½ inch above grade to allow water to flow around the barrier. Local conditions may dictate
installing the barrier flush to the existing roadway.
Figure2-4,BarrierPlacement
2.4.3 StepThree–ConduitConnections
•RSS-4000 barriers are self-contained shipped from the factory ready to install. Connect the
appropriate PVC conduit to the power (1”), control (1”) and sump pump (1½”) PVC sleeves in the
metal stub outs located on the front and side of the barrier. If the job site requires rigid conduits, the
PVC sleeve in the stub outs will have to be replaced.

02/05/2018 INSTALLATIONGUIDELINES
PAGE 8
Figure2-5, ConduitConnections
RSSI requires at least one of the 5” gravity drains be installed (4” PVC) to each barrier. Additionally, the
Sump Pump discharge (1” PVC) should be “SEPARATE”fromthe Gravity Drain.
2.4.4 StepFour–Concrete
ENSURE ALL OPENINGS (SMALL HOLES ARE CUT IN BARRIER VAULT TO
ACCOMMODATE THE HOT DIP GALVANIZE PROCESS)ARE COVERED BEFORE
CONCRETE IS POURED. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN EQUIPMENT
MALFUNCTION.
•Pour the concrete (3,000psi minimum) around the RSS-4000 unit. Be careful not to damage the
electrical or drainage conduit. Vibrating to remove air pockets and a light broom finish is
recommended. (See Figure 2-6 below) Allow sufficient time for concrete to harden before driving
over barrier.
Conduit Stub Outs:
- Controls (1“ Conduit)
- Power (1“ Conduit)
Gravity Drain –one on each side
- 5” hole for 4”Conduit
- Mandatory to hook-up at least
one
Pump Stub Out:
- Sump Pump (1-1/2“ PVC)

When barriers are aligned beside each other and a monolithic pour is used for two or more barriers, vibrate
the concrete into the excavation to ensure adequate displacement of concrete. Place barriers in accordance
with Installation Drawings.
2.4.5 StepFive–ConduitandTerminationofControls
•Some locations will have existing conduit, others you will have to trench and install/run new conduit.
Based on the layout and distance from the barriers to the BarrierControl Panel (BCP), a handhold or J-
Box may be installed. After conduit has been installed, move onto the controls. Barrier Control Panels
arrive complete from the factory. All control and power wiring(providedbyIntegrator/Contractor) from
the barrier, BCP and operator controls are labeled to coordinate with a termination strip in the control
box. Operator Controls are custom made to adapt to each location. Typically, Panels are placed on an
equipment pad within 50-100 feet from the barriers. (See Figure 2-7).
Figure2-7,EPUControlPanel &BatteryBack-up
Electrical Power Wiring should be sized by a Master Electrician or EE per N.E.C. Code based on distance
from EPU/BBS to barriers. Ground Rod should be installed adjacent to the Control Panel per N.E.C. code.
RSSI requires the use of Shielded Ethernet Cable to terminate between the barriers and the EPU.
Additionally, RSSI requires the use of specific waterproof connectors for terminating connections in the
barrier junction boxes (See Attachment 3 for cut sheets). Contact RSSI before terminating with any other
connectors.

Electrical Terminations
1. Local commercial power (120/240VAC) 1P 3 wire 30A is wired to Battery Backup Panel (BBP) at
MAIN CB-1 (L1 –L2, Neutral - Ground).
2. BBP transferspower to Barrier Control Panel (BCP) MAIN Disconnect Switch.
3. The Servo Box is inside the barrier powered through the BCP fuses FU1 and terminals 4L1 –4L2 –
Ground and wired through the Barrier Power J-box (splices).
4. The Barrier Heat Grid is powered through the BCP terminals 1H1 and 1H2 and wired through the
Barrier Power J-box (splices).
5. The 120V Sump Pump is powered from the BCP terminals SP1&2 and Neutral wired through the
Barrier Power J-box (splices).
6. The 24Vdc Traffic Lights are powered from the BCP PLC outputs and fused at 2amps.
7. The 24Vdc Barrier Warning LED Lights are powered from the BCP PLC fused outputs and wired
through the Control J-Box splices.
8. The IR Beams(if applicable) are powered through the BCP +24Vdc (Red wire)/-24Vdc (Black wire)
power terminal blocks to each IR Beam (splices in stands) Connect the Red wire to Brown and Gray wires
of IR pigtail and Black wire to Blue wire of IR pigtail.
9. The Barrier Heat Thermostat (mounted outside) is connected at BCP terminals +24Vdc and PLC input
(splices at thermostat); if applicable.
10. The PrimaryOperator Control panel is powered through the BCP +24Vdc and -24Vdc output terminal
blocks to.
Control Terminations
1. The Servo Box inside the barrier communicates with the BCP via shielded twisted pair Ethernet cable
(Cat5e) from a Ethernet switch to servo box (Tech will be required to terminate and label RJ45 connector
on cable end at Ethernet switch in the BCP) Servo Box is pre-terminated at factory.
2. BCP receives vehicle presence indications from the LOOPS in the roadway to the front of the LOOP
DETECTORS in the BCP. (Bottom DIP switch must be set to right position at this point).
3. BCP receives INPUTS from IR Sensor(if applicable) (black wire on sensor pigtails) the black wire is
connected to blue wire connected on PLC input.
4. BCP controller receives a contact closure from the thermostat (mounted outside) to the BCP PLC
inputs. This activates the barrier heat grid Contactors H1 & H2.
5. BCP receives INPUT from Battery Backup Panel (BBP) when commercial poweris lost and/or when a
Low Voltage condition is present. BBP terminations are marked (+24VDC) I:1/0 and I:1/1. The BCP
terminations are mark (+24VDC), (I:1/0) for Loss of Power and(I:1/1) for Low Voltage condition.

ENSURE A QUALIFIED; LICENSED ELECTRICIAN TERMINATES THE
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS ACCORDING TO NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE AND
ANY APPLICABLE STATE AND LOCAL CODES.
2.4.5.1InstallationofShieldedEthernetCablefromBarrierto BarrierControlPanel(BCP)
•Shielded Ethernet cable is provided byRSSI and rolled up inside unit. The cable is terminated
inside at Servo Drive using the TIA/EIA568A wiring on the RJ45. This wire will need to be
ran through Control J-Box and Controls conduit back to the BCP.
Figure2-8,ControlsConduit,EthernetRunIntoJ-box.
•Inside the EPUpanel, terminate Ethernet Cable with RJ-45 connector. Use the TIA/EIA
568A Wiring diagram.
Figure2-9,EthernetConnectionatEPU,EthernetWiringDiagram

02/05/2018 INSTALLATIONGUIDELINES
PAGE 13
•Once termination has been made, plug the cable into the Ethernet Switch.
Figure2-10,EPUEthernetSwitch
•Connect Ethernet shield wire to (Earth Ground) on top of switch at pin #4. If metal RJ45is
used, no grounding is required.
Figure2-11, EthernetConnectionandGround

This box should ONLY be opened at the RSSI factory. It is considered a “LRU” Line
Replacement Unit. Opening this box VOIDS THE WARRANTY.
Figure2-12,ServoDriveBoxInsideBarrier
The Ethernet cable is designed to be a straight run with no splices, severe bendsor stretching. Splicing this
cable will lead to premature failure of the network communication to the Servo Drive.
It is highly recommended to use experienced technicianstrained to install shielded twisted pair terminations.
After installing, test with a regular network cable tester.
2.4.5.2Installation,Termination,andTestingofFiberCable
●If applicable, Fiber converters are located in the BCP and in location of Control Console.
●Fiber must be run in locations where the distance from the BCP to the Fiber Convertor Panel is
more than 300 feet.
●A technician terminates the fiber and conducts a BASIC go/no go indication test. At this point the
fiber terminations could be connected up and possibly even work, however without further testing
with an OTDR, Ethernet errors could occur. Power meters are also used by fiber technicians to

02/05/2018 INSTALLATIONGUIDELINES
PAGE 15
measure Power/Loss through the run and certify the fiber installation. It is highly recommended
that this certification be done after termination.
●Connecting the fiber terminations (ST) to the fiber convertors
1. Line up pegs with slots, push in and turn clockwise to lock
2. There is a (TX) transmit and (RX) receive (marked on convertor)
3. Take each pair of fiber cables (already terminated and tested) and connect to TX and RX
4. Connect other end of fiber optic cable and termination to RX and TX (opposite)
5. You should get LINK light indication on fiber convertor, if not, reverse connectors
●Cleaning the fiber terminations before, during and after the termination procedures is a key to
success.
NOTE
It is highly recommended to use experienced technicians trained to install,
terminate, test, and certify fiber. After installing, at a minimum test
connection with an OTDR tester.
CAUTION
The Fiber cable is designed to be a straight run with no splices
or severe bends or stretching.
