3. INSTALLATION
This product must be exclusively used for its intended use. Any other use is considered dangerous. The company
Urbaco S.A. is not liable for any damage caused by improper, wrong or unreasonable use.
The product's safety and consequently its installation depend on the respect of its proper installation and usage modes,
which are clearly detailed in this manual.
Installation, control and testing operations, as well as, preventive maintenance jobs, must be made by skilled technical
staff and authorized in agreement with the person responsible of the system.
3.1. Installation site study
When choosing the installation site, it is recommended to firstly:
• Check the solidity and compactness of the ground (to prevent from sinking on its foundation).
• Check the condition of the ground where the bollard will be intalled and adopt the necessary precautions to prevent the
ground from caving in the bollard’s excavation.
• Make sure there are no underground pipes that could impede excavation and underground cable laying operations.
• Check that the site chosen for the technical control unit is sufficiently protected from vehicle collisions.
• Check that the distance between the bollard and the technical control unit does not exceed 25 meters.
• Check that the maximum length of the electrical connecting cables and pneumatic/hydraulic hose between the control
unit and each bollard does not exceed 25 meters.
• Check that the maximum length of the twisted connecting cable between the loops and the loop detector does not
exceed 50 meters.
• Check that the sheaths between the control unit and the bollards are buried at the legal depth according to the country's
laws in force.
• Check that all sheaths are installed without sharp angle to pull through electrical cables and hoses.
• Check that there are no obstructions that may impede the normal movement of the bollard.
• The safety loops shape and position could affect the proper functioning of the access-point. Read the Technical manual
NT-BCL for safety loops installation and ensure proper loops installation and lay a safe and secure access-point.
• Position the loops. Then, position the bollards.
• If needed, install additional optical and/or sound systems to warn people of the presence of a moving system and the
resulting risk. You may also need both horizontal and vertical warning signal, to comply with the traffic rules where the
system is anstall.
• Check that the power supply and voltage are adapted to the whole system.
• Check that the bollard and surrounding fixed parts are not constitutes an obstacle and become a tripping risk for
pedestrians or cyclists when the bollard is fully retracted.
• Check that the components have been properly installed and that they are stable. In case of problems, contact Urbaco
S.A. for understanding proper corrective actions to be performed.
• Check that the bollard is always vertical, even if the ground is sloped.
• CAREFULLY check the technical manuals, before starting any work.
