2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
2.1 Presentation
URBACO's G6EVO access control bollards are designed to prevent and/or select the passage of vehicles or trucks in
areas, such as town centers, private areas or building access, while keeping free access to pedestrian or bicycle traffic.
Access points equipped with automatic retractable bollards are generally composed by three systems that are
interconnected by electric cables and/or hydraulic/pneumatic hoses.
These three systems are:
•
Safety magnetic detection loops - positioned into the ground in front of and behind the bollard, form a safety
perimeter around the bollards.
•
Automatic retractable bollards - installed on the vehicles passage way, either authorizes or prevents access
(one or more bollards).
•
Management system (access control unit) - It is the technical control unit where all components are install to
control the bollard, the security and can integrate multiple control device such as badge reader, radio receiver,
etc.
For safety loops installation please refer to the corresponding manual: NT-BCL - Instruction on laying the magnetic
detection loops.
The positioning of the safety loops determines the proper functioning of the access point. Also, URBACO suggests that
you first establish the position of the loops, then the bollards and lastly the technical control unit.
Recommendations to respect the proper use of an access point that is controlled by automatic retractable bollards:
To ensure proper functioning of the access point, URBACO suggests:
•
To install a vertical sign that warns people of the obstruction and that reads "Retractable bollard";
•
To add to the automatic systems, a bollard’s position lights (red and yellow flashing light)
For safety reasons, URBACO recommends that vehicles, before passing through an access control systems, should
stop in front of the bollard and wait for it to completely retract (when the light turns from red to flashing yellow, if the
system is fitted with lights).
When the bollards operate in automatic mode, vehicles must not go through the access point in single file without
stopping in front of the bollard. They must check that it is fully retracted before driving through and must respect the
bollard’s position lights (if installed).
USER INFORMATION AND TRAINING
The access point manager is held to inform users about the use and procedure of the access point given that URABCO
cannot be held liable for its improper use or non compliance with the local safety regulations.
To enable the access point managers to know the safety rules and the latest updates as concerns URBACO proposed
solutions, training courses are available.
