SPRINT

HYDRAULIC BARRIER

ENGLISH

TECHNICAL FEATURES

COMPONENTS

SPRINT is an high speed hydraulic barrier for intensive application, designed for arms up to 6 m

All models are IRREVERSIBLE, to allow a perfect and safe closing of the arm

The barrier is equipped with a MANUAL RELEASE SYSTEM - placed inside the barrier housing - which allows

manual opening and closing in the event of a power outage.

SPRINT is also equipped with an electronic inversion device via ABSOLUTE ENCODER, which makes it

safe and reliable and allows to comply with the Laws in force in the Countries where the barrier is installed.

The ELECTRONIC DECELERATION SYSTEM, combined with the absolute encoder, guarantees total control of

the inertia forces.

The barrier is also equipped with BY-PASS VALVES which allows to adjust the thrust force and thus ensure

anti-crushing safety.

The housing is made of cataphoresis treated steel and painted in polyester for outdoor use, for excellent

resistance to atmospheric agents (the casing is also available in STAINLESS STEEL, upon request)

BALANCING

SPRING

ON THE LEFT

1 - LEFT OR RIGHT HAND ARM ARRANGEMENT

The SPRINT barrier can be installed

either for left or right-hand opening

The opening direction depends on the

position of the balancing spring - see

chapter 4:

If the spring is left-hand installed, the arm

opens to the left;

If the spring is right-hand installed, the

arm opens to the right;

To install the foundation plate it is necessary to:

2.1. Prepare a concrete slab according to the

dimensions shown in Fig. 4;

The anchor bolts must be concreted inside the slab.

The foundation plate must be fixed on the anchor

bolts and concreted on the slab

IF ALLOWED BY THE STRUCTURE, IT IS RECOMMENDED

TO LIFT THE FOUNDATION PLATE OF ABOUT 50mm FROM

THE GROUND, TO AVOID WATER PUDDLING.

2.2. Insert the flexible plastic pipe (Ø 30 mm at least)

for the electric cables into the special hole of the plate

2.3. Make sure that the plate is perfectly leveled and

that the anchor bolts come out of the plate for 30 mm,

as shown in Fig. 5

2.4. Fill up the excavation using «R425» concrete;

carefully level the plate on the concrete.

360°

ROTATE THE PISTON

ON ITSELF TO

RELEASE IT FROM

PIPES AND CHANGE

ITS POSITION

SPRINT barrier is supplied with left-hand opening arm as standard; it is possible to change the opening

direction by moving both the piston and the balancing spring.

4.1. Before carrying out the moving operation, release the operator - see chapter 13 - and, on the hydraulic

unit, LOOSEN THE TWO FITTINGS OF THE HYDRAULIC PIPES BY HALF A TURN (pipes connecting hydraulic unit to

the piston) to simplify the piston rotation.

Be careful not to choke the hydraulic pipes! (not visible in the figures!)

4.2. CHANGE OF THE OPENING DIRECTION - (RIGHT-HAND OPENING)

- unscrew and pull out the balancing spring - Fig. 11

- unscrew the hydraulic piston - Fig. 8, move it gently from its position by rotating on itself 360° - Fig. 9 - to

release it from the hydraulic pipes and prevent them from intertwining, then place the piston on the opposite

side of the barrier and tighten with the fixing screws - Fig. 10

- lubricate the piston rod-end spherical bearing with DIN 51502 KP 2 N-20 - K 2 K-20 grease

- place the balancing spring on the opposite side of the barrier, greasing the parts indicated in Fig. 12

4.3. In case of ordinary replacement of the spring, according to the barrier opening direction, disassemble

the old spring and reassemble the new one following the tightening instructions in Fig. 11 or in Fig. 12

For the correct balancing of the arm, it is

recommended to unscrew the piston from

the rocker arm, as shown in CHAPTER 4 - Fig.

8 or Fig. 10

7.1. Release the arm using the manual release

- chapter 13 - in order to move it manually

7.2. Place the arm halfway, approximately 45°

7.3. Tighten or loosen the spring-tensioner nut

until the spring counter-balances the weight of

the arm placed at 45°;

The optimal balancing position is when the arm

stays in the position shown in Fig. 15

7.4. Once the arm has been balanced, lock

the spring-tensioner nut by tightening the

counter-nut.

7.5. Re-lock the arm as shown in chapter 13

Carry on the following procedure only if

the arm does not stay perfectly horizontal

(in closing) or vertical (in opening) at the end

of its stroke

8.1. Release the arm using the manual release

- chapter 13 - in order to move it manually

8.2. Loosen the nut «B»

8.3. Tighten or loosen the screw «A» until the

arm gets in vertical position in opening and in

horizontal position in closing;

8.4. Once a perfect leveling has been achieved,

lock the screw «A» by tightening the nut «B»

8.5. Re-lock the arm as shown in chapter 13

9 - ADJUSTMENT OF THE THRUST FORCE (BY-PASS VALVES)

The SPRINT barrier is factory set to

a force of 15 KgF in order to ensure

the anti-crushing safety, so it is

recommended to modify this setting

only in case of absolute need!

9.1. If necessary, adjust the thrust force of

the barrier through the By-Pass valves

placed on the front side of the hydraulic

unit - Fig. 17

- Turn clockwise to increase the force;

- Turn counter-clockwise to decrease the

force;
