Safety Features
Thank you for purchasing one of our perimeter security products.
Your barrier will provide safe and reliable service and peace of mind provided that the following
instructions and guidance is followed.
Your barrier is fitted with a range of safety devices designed to prevent accidents or injury, none the
less the area in the immediate vicinity of the barrier should be treated as potentially hazardous and
avoided whenever the barrier is moving (shown below).
Explanation of safety features and barrier reaction:
Dual Height Photocells – (either side of moving barrier leaf) stops barrier closing and
reverses to the fully open position. (IF FITTED)
CAT 3 Safety Edges – Safety edges are direction dependant and will stop barrier and reverse
in the opposite direction to which the barrier was moving. (FITTED ON PLAIN POLE ARMS)
Emergency Stop Button – located on the front of the barrier cabinet this can be used before
an incident happens (IF FITTED)
Please Note:
Inductive safety edges are fitted as standard to meet the force limitation as required and
specified in BS EN12978:2000, unfortunately this cannot be achieved when under lattice or
security hi-bar lattice is installed / retro-fitted to the barrier beam. It is the responsibility of
the installer to carry out the necessary risk assessment and install the appropriate safety
devices to make the barrier meet the current standards such as light curtains, laser safety
sensors or photo electric cells.
Safe use warnings:

trained and qualified powered barrier specialist immediately.
