1.1 General Description

The BCL Series 310 Delta Cantilever Sliding modular gate is usually
delivered to site in flat pack format and then erected and automated on
site. The gate is suitable to control moderate traffic whilst providing both
vehicular and perimeter security of the site where it is used. The gate can
be operated by means of remote push button, intercom and card reader
systems as well as radio remote control fobs.
Upon receiving an open command the gate motor drive will open the gate
open via the electromechanical transmission which comprises of motor,
gearbox, pinion and rack. The gearbox of the motor drive is of a
irreversible type which provides power free locking of the gate.

User Safety Guide

Broughton Controls Limited products are designed for security

applications thus maintaining a high level of security of the premises.
They can be fitted with various forms of safety equipment to safeguard
the user. It is however essential that users operate the gate system in a
sensible manner and in accordance with the operating procedure.
Vehicle Gates are designed to operate for vehicle access only and if the
correct procedure is not followed or users attempt to defeat or misuse the
system, damage may occur both to the vehicle and to the gate.
The gate system may not have any pedestrian safety devices fitted, as it
is intended for the sole use of vehicles! Pedestrians must stand clear of
the gate at all times, even when the gate is stationary this is due to the
risk associated with the gate starting to move unexpectedly.

WARNING!
Automatic Gates Are Not
Intended for Pedestrian Use

2.2.2 Operation
Upon receiving an open signal the gate will open fully until it reaches the
open proximity switch this tells the PLC controller that the gate is fully
open. Prior to reaching the open proximity limit the gate will reduce its
speed from 0.5m/s to 0.25m/s. This reduces the stress on the gate drive
and associated equipment and results in a smooth reliable operation
allowing longer life of components. The gate control panel can be set
set to automatically close after a preset time or to remain open until a
close command is given. It is possible to switch on/off the automatic
close facility by adjusting the pot located on the front face of the PLC
controller located within the motor drive enclosure. Any adjustments to
this should be carried out by Broughton Controls or Eisotech engineers.

2.2.3 Safety Devices

2.2.3.1 Photocell
Where safety photocells are installed, any obstacle in front of the
photocell will stop the gate from closing. Should the gate be closing and
the photocell become activated then the gate will reopen and re close
after the auto close time has elapsed (when the control panel is set to
automatically close) then the gate will re-close after the safety photocell
has been cleared. If the control panel is not set to automatically close
then It will be necessary to activate the close input (button).

2.2.3.3 Safety Edges

When installed safety edges provide protection from potential crushing
and entrapment. As per any safety device, these are intended to reduce
risk and their purpose is to protect persons who should not be in the
vicinity of the automatic gate. Other procedures and warnings should be
used to ensure that pedestrians do not come into contact with the gate in
the first instance.

2.3 Manual Operation of Gate

If a power supply or control failure occurs, it may be necessary to open or
close the gates manually.
The procedure is as follows:
(A) Always electrically isolate the automatic gate
control panel elsewhere rather than within the gate
electrical control panel enclosure. If this is not
possible then use the key provided to unlock the
control cabinet.
(B) Switch OFF the electrical mains supply using
the isolator located within the control panel. Do not
touch any components of the panel
(C). Pull the manual release lever away from the
blue gearbox to disengage the drive and free the

Gate Structure

The Model 310 Delta modular construction cantilevered gate, has a

backbone comprising an immensely strong 205 x 285mm section,
corrosion resistant, aircraft grade hollow aluminium extrusion bottom rail
of unique profile, and incorporates high-tensile steel tensioning wires.
Hot-dip galvanised steel bars (OD 26 x 1.5mm) are inserted vertically
through the backbone and locked in place by a central tensioning wire. A
serrated anti climb, aluminium strip (60 x 15mm) connects the bars at
the top. This unique construction completely eliminates the cross bracing
commonly used on cantilever gates, which is both unsightly and
compromises security, by providing a foothold to climbers. This design
also provides the shortest runback of any cantilever type gate, and
ensures smooth operation, even of the largest gates, due to the (160mm)
non-exposed polyamide wheels supporting the gate. All roller bearings
are factory lubricated and sealed for long term, trouble-free operation.
Four hollow rectangular section support posts (80 x 60mm), connected at
the top, form rigid frames to support the gate.
All steel work is hot dipped galvanised to Din 50976 after fabrication.
When powder coated the gate is polyester powder coated to an
extremely high quality finish which is 80 to 100 microns thick after
cleaning, smoothing, and chromate washing to BS6496 of all aluminium
components, keying and coating uses an advanced electrostatic process.

3.3

Electric Motor

A powerful 230v three phase motor with RPM reduction via a spiral wheel
gearbox ensures maintenance-free operation; a safety clutch and an
Electro-magnetic brake are standard. The drive wheel locks into a nonexposed rack fitted to the lower beam of the gate.

3.4

Programmable Controller

The control panel for the gate incorporates a Programmable Controller as

the main control component. This uses an input/output terminal unit for
field wiring interface. The controller is used to replace a large number of
relays and timers. The controller is programmed via a PC/Laptop; the
program being stored in a Random Access Memory (RAM), which allows
the program to be modified on site to ensure that the system performs
exactly as required. The inputs are digital and activate when + 24 Volts
is fed into the relevant input terminal. Any proximity limits connected to
the inputs of the PLC must be PNP type.

Only Qualified & Electrically Competent

Personnel should work within the control panel.
Always Test that no voltage is present! prior to
working on the gate.

3.5

Motor Inverter

The motor is supplied by the motor inverter (located at rear of chassis

plate), which takes care of the generation of three-phase needed to run
the motors in DELTA configuration. The inverter is a single-phase
inverter. The inverter is set to run the gate motor at two speeds. These
speeds are as follows:
(A) 50 Hz for full speed During opening and closing of the gate
(B) 25 Hz for slow speed During final closing stroke and final ramp
down

DANGER
ELECTRIC
SHOCK

Only Qualified & Electrically Competent Personnel should

work on the inverters. Always allow 5 minutes for the
inverters capacitors to discharge before working on the
units! Always Test that no voltage is present!

4.0 Maintenance
4.1 General
The gate equipment described in this manual is designed to a high
standard in order to cope easily with long periods of arduous duty. It is
however, necessary to maintain the working efficiency at a level, which
reduces wear and tear and so avoids premature breakdown.
A scheme of planned preventative maintenance will ensure an optimum
return of reliability and security, at a minimum cost. The work involved
can be carried out by our sister company Eisotech Services Limited who
will be pleased to quote for a preventative maintenance scheme.
Telephone: 0870 706 0606
Fax: 0870 700 0154
A system logbook should be kept for the system and a record kept of
faults, damage, breakdowns and spares used. This record will help to
identify any continuing problems such as worn or miss-aligned
components.

4.2 Warning
Whenever work is to be carried out, or checks are to be made on
electrical
components or connections, the complete system must be
isolated at or adjacent to the control cabinet and locked out until work is
completed.
It is recommended that a permit to work system is instituted and that
proper control of the mains supply is affected.

4.3 Live Working

If it is necessary to work on live equipment, such work must be carried
out by skilled personnel who are aware of potential dangers and of the
safety precautions, which must be taken. Rotating parts of drive systems
may present a particular danger of snagging or pick-up of loose
clothing. For this reason, ties, scarves or other loose items must be
removed.
