Barrier gate features

The company notes that new features of the smart barrier gate include:

• Smart modular arm design: Allows for efficient shipping and handling, reducing damage and minimizing costs. The breakaway arm mounting bracket allows the arm to swing away or break free, on impact, reducing damage and repair costs
• Innovative counterbalance system: Designed with a user-friendly counterbalance system that makes it easy to switch arm directions and to quickly adjust the balance for various arm barrier sizes, saving time and effort
• Programmable LED lights: Highly visible red and green LED lights in the barrier tower provide clear visual cues to operators and drivers, enhancing efficiency and reducing strikes
• High efficiency DC motors: Operate uninterrupted with an ultra-fast, brushless DC motor with unlimited cycles for long-term durability and a 2.5 second open and close duration
• Simplified control board: Menu display and tool-free wiring with color coded terminals streamlines installation by walking through the process in clear steps
• Advanced connectivity: Seamlessly integrates with myQ Community and Facility via WiFi or ethernet for remote diagnostics and real-time monitoring
• Reliable backup power: Battery backup ensures continued operation when the power is down with an optional solar kit for additional power flexibility
