5Installation Procedure
Installation Precautions
1. Install the parking barrier on a level ground. If the ground is not firm and level, a cement
base is needed before the installation.
2. The length of the boom can be cut but cannot be increased. To establish new balance
after cutting the boom length, the spring balance must be reset. The bottom of the
spring has two plastic nuts for adjusting the new balance.
3. When the power is on, do not make any changes to the wire connections inside.
4. The GND should be connected to the cabinet for secure protection.
Cable Embedding
1. Prepare for a total of φ25 protective sleeve and cable in advance.
2. Connect the route cables through the protective sleeves.
3. Use a tool to open a cable tray on the ground.

5.3.2 Installation of the Folding Boom
1. Install the folding boom assembly element after disconnecting the machine's power.
2. Fix the folding boom.
3. Adjust the vertical and horizontal position of the boom arm.
4. Start the power supply and observe the running state of the machine. If the boom arm
open shaking, it is then necessary to loosen the spring and slow down the speed
appropriately. It is also necessary to tighten the spring and slow down the speed
accordingly if the boom arm closes shaking.
Note:
Default total height: H≤2.8m, Default total length: L≤4.5m（Support customization, specify
total height and total length in the order remarks）

5.3.3 Installation of the Fence Boom Arm
1. Install the fence boom install part after disconnecting the machine's power.
2. Fix the fence boom.
3. Adjust the vertical and horizontal position of the boom arm.
4. Start the power supply and observe the running state of the machine. If the boom arm
open shaking, it is then necessary to loosen the spring and slow down the speed
appropriately. It is also necessary to tighten the spring and slow down the speed
accordingly if the boom arm closes shaking.
Notes：
1) Before the machine is energized to run the test, please make sure to install the barrier
boom of the corresponding length for the test. If the barrier boom is not installed,
please adjust, and remove the spring under the guidance of a professional person.
2) If the length of the barrier boom is cut and adjusted, the tightness of the spring and
the position of the hanging hole must to adjusted accordingly in order to avoid the
abnormal condition of the machine that cannot drop the boom.
