After introducting 24V hydraulic gate automation, the barrier company FAAC have now introduced their first 24V barrier to the market. The barrier pictured is installed at the Strathclyde Fire Training Centre in Scotland and has a 8m beam. Facilities manager at the training centre, Graham Burnett, said that two of the manufacturer’s B680H barriers were installed at the newly built Fire Training Centre and have worked efficiently since they took possession of the site in April 2012. A battery back-up has been installed to ensure the operation of the B680H even during a power cut, something important to the fire service.
The product controls passages with a net width from 2m to 8m and its modular beams make it a product which is the makers claim easy to manage during installation. The barrier is rated for continuous duty operating beams of 8m in 6 seconds and beams of 2m in 1.5 seconds. Accessories for the barrier include an integrated red/green LED unit on top of the cabinet that flashes during operation; and LED beam lights.
The access control automation company has manufacturing and development facilities in Italy and Ireland and distributes its products in more than 90 countries. FAAC (UK), based in Basingstoke, serves residential and commercial markets through 800 approved installers nationally.
