Need help?Do you have a question about the quiko ICARUS and is the answer not in the manual?
The ICARUS automatic barrier, manufactured by QUIKO ITALY SRL, is designed to control vehicle and pedestrian access in restricted entrances. It is available in several models: QK-130B, QK-140B, QK-150B, and QK-160B.
The ICARUS barrier is an electromechanical device that automates the opening and closing of a barrier rod. It is designed to limit the flow of vehicles and/or persons. The system can operate in two main modes:
In the event of a power failure (blackout), manual operation is possible by activating the unlocking device. The barrier is supplied as a right-hand version from the factory, but its direction of movement can be modified to a left-hand version by following specific adjustment procedures.
The ICARUS barrier operates on a 24Vdc power supply, with a power absorbed of 80W and a motor current of 2.5A. It has a protection level of IP55, indicating protection against dust and low-pressure water jets.
Key specifications vary slightly between models:
| Feature | QK-130B | QK-140B, QK-150B, QK-160B |
|---|---|---|
| Motor shaft speed (rpm) | 3000 | 1500 |
| Output shaft speed (rpm) | 7.3 | 1.7 |
| Reduction ratio | 1/191 | 1/820 |
| Opening time (s) | 2 | 4 |
| Weight (kg) | 45 | 49 |
| Max rod length (m) | 3 | 6.25 |
All models have a working temperature range of -30°C to +70°C and a 100% work cycle. The insulation class is F.
The barrier must be controlled by the QK-CE24V control board to ensure correct and safe operation. It can also be equipped with a 24V backup battery unit (QK-BPACK1 or equivalent) to maintain functionality during power supply failures. The backup unit requires two 12V lead-acid batteries (1.3Ah each) connected in series.
Pre-installation Control: Before installation, ensure the area above the bar is clear of obstacles, visibility is good, and a suitable base is prepared. Electrical cables should be minimized in length and positioned according to national standards.
Site Preparation: A rectangular concrete slab (at least 10 cm thick) with cable outlet holes is required. The foundation base plate (B) with four supplied tie bars should be submerged into the slab, or the barrier cabinet can be secured directly to the slab with four M10x120 anchor bolts.
Anchoring: The barrier is fixed to the base by securely tightening nuts to the tie bars, ensuring perfect stability.
Securing Rod and Balancing: This crucial step is performed after the rod and all accessories are fitted. With the power supply switched off and the barrier released, insert the rod into the holder and secure it with bolts and nuts. The rod should lift to 45° on its own; if not, adjust the spring preloading nut. If the load is greater than permitted, adjust the eyelet position to increase or decrease load capacity.
Manual Unlocking: To unlock, open the front door and lift the release lever. This operation must be performed with the power cut off. Activating the manual release may cause uncontrolled movement if the barrier has mechanical failures or is out of balance.
Limit Switches Adjustment: The barrier comes with pre-adjusted limit switches. If the rod is not perfectly horizontal or vertical due to incorrect plate leveling, the limit switches can be manually adjusted by loosening two screws and turning the cam to the desired position.
Access to Control Unit: To access the control unit, loosen the screws on the sides and open the top cover of the barrier.
Adjustment of Direction: To change the direction of movement from right to left, loosen and remove spring screw fasteners and the lever, remove limit switches cams, then fix everything in the opposite position and readjust retainers and limit switches.
Safety Instructions:
Periodic Checks: Professional installers should perform periodic checks at intervals not exceeding 6 months.
Extraordinary Maintenance and Repairs: For complicated repairs or replacements of electromechanical parts (control unit, gearmotor unit), the unit should be removed and sent to the manufacturer or authorized technicians. Unauthorized modifications can compromise safety and reliability.
Environmental Considerations: If the barrier is used in a saline or highly contaminated environment, maintenance controls should be increased due to environmental deterioration. The external metal cabinet should also be inspected.
Documentation: Any modifications to force adjustments must be documented in the barrier log book. The log book also records installation details, maintenance, and repairs.
