Lane Functionality (cont.)
Spacing:
Due to the strength of the optical beams, Beacon lanes can be positioned to function at
multiple passage widths.
Typical installations for a standard lane run from 22-26 inches. ADA lanes should be a
minimum of 36 inches. As long as each cabinet is square and level to the next, the
distance between each cabinet can be whatever is needed at the site of installation.
Electrical requirements:
Primary cabinets require 100-240 VAC input voltage. An internal power supply steps the
voltage down to 24VDC.
Between the two cabinets in a lane, an 18 gauge 2 conductor cable is necessary in order
to operate the secondary cabinet. It will be necessary to provide conduit access between
the two cabinets. However, only the primary cabinet requires 100-240VAC. The
secondary cabinet will obtain 24VDC from the primary cabinet.
It is recommended that the primary side of a hybrid cabinet receives 100-240VAC and
the secondary side recieves the 24VDC from the primary cabinet of the other lane. This is
so one lane can be taken offline without affecting the other.
The primary cabinet may also require conduit access from the access control system, this
is dependent on the method of installation of access control.
