Operators - Model BGU and BGU-D Barrier Gates
Model BGU and BGU-D - Barrier Gates
- Description
- Models BGU and BGU-D barrier gates can be used for parking applications and revenue control. Through switch selections, the gate operator is universal and suitable for all installation and operational functions. Switch selection allows for full flexibility as to how and when the arm comes down in traffic control situations. The added advantage to the DC operator is the automatic-open feature upon power loss. When the gate operator senses AC power is no longer present, the arm will cycle open, remaining open until AC power is restored (fail safe) OR continues normal operation while monitoring the battery level. Once the batteries are low, the unit will cycle open until AC power is restored or the batteries receive a full charge (fail secure).

- BGU-D Battery Back-up
- Dual batteries charged by 115 VAC or optional solar panels
- Charging circuit monitors and maintains battery levels, monitors AC availability, automatically switches to batteries when AC is removed, and automatically resumes AC operation
- Control circuit options in absence of AC power:
- Option 1: Fail safe (opens the gate and shuts down until AC power is restored)
- Option 2: Fail secure (continues to cycle gate in normal operation until batteries run down and then cycles open. Resumes cycling when existing batteries are charged or when fresh batteries are installed)
