Frequently Asked Questions
What is a brushless DC motor, and why is it better?
A brushless DC motor is a more advanced motor technology that does not have brushes, which are components in traditional motors that wear out over time. This results in significantly higher reliability, a much longer lifespan (millions of cycles), quieter operation, and more precise speed control compared to older brush motors.
Do barrier arms come in a standard size?
No, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Each barrier arm is custom-fit to your entryway. Standard arms are typically cut-to-measure on-site for openings up to 6 meters. We also provide specialized options like retractable arms, and for extra-wide entrances, we can install more powerful hydraulic systems that support even longer arms.
Can you program advanced entry logic, like day and night modes?
Yes, this is one of our key areas of expertise. We can design and program advanced automation tailored to your property's needs. For example, we have configured systems for condos where the main autogate remains open during the high-traffic daytime, with only the barrier arm operating. At night, the system automatically switches: the barrier arm stays open, and the main autogate closes, providing a higher level of security during quieter hours.
How can the barrier be triggered to open?
We integrate a wide variety of access control methods. Common options for residents include long-range RFID transponders. For visitor management, we can link the barrier to a multi-tenant intercom system. For fully automated, hands-free entry, we can integrate it with ANPR (license plate recognition) cameras. We will design the best workflow for your property.
What safety features are included?
Safety is our top priority. All our barrier gate installations include crucial safety devices, such as in-ground vehicle loop detectors that sense the presence of a car and infrared safety beams. These prevent the barrier arm from closing accidentally on a vehicle or person, ensuring safe operation for everyone.
How long does a professional barrier gate system last?
A professionally installed system with a high-quality brushless DC motor is built for extreme durability. The motors are rated for millions of open/close cycles, and with proper basic maintenance, you can expect the system to provide reliable service for many years, even in a high-traffic condominium environment.
