INTRODUCING SPEEDGATE
Generally, the SpeedGate consists of ve main components, including three categories of safety devices:
Table 1. SpeedGate Main Components
1� Columns The columns support the guide channel and the panels. The columns
also house all of the drive components for the gate. The columns are
anchored to a concrete foundaon with anchor bolts.
2� Panels The panels (gate leafs) are aached to the columns using hinges. The
minimum opening and closing me for the panels is approximately
8 seconds.
3� Drive Mechanism(s) The panels are driven by means of an electro-mechanical drive
system. The drive mechanism is located in the column. In the
event of a power failure, a manual brake disconnect can be used to
manually open/close the gate.
4� Operator Enclosure The operators can be operated by a push buon staon, vehicle
detector loops, card access system and any device which when
given a command switches a dry contact relay (the relay common is
supplied by the operator). There are also foil keypads on the outside
doors of the operators, each keypad commanding the corresponding
operator and gate.
