PATENT LICENSES
The Portable Barrier System shall be fully licensed for manufacture under U.S. Patent Laws
SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS
Barrier construction: Barrier shall be an above grade, portable assembly containing a PHALANX TYPE Full Width Barrier Ramp hinged at both ends, raised and lowered by means of a Hydraulic Operating System. When the Barrier Ramp is raised to the guard position, it shall present a formidable obstacle to approaching vehicles. Upon vehicle impact, the force shall first be absorbed by the Barrier Ramp and then transmitted to the ground plate and inertia buttress.
Barrier Height: Height of the Barrier shall nominally be 30 inches (0,760 M) as measured from the roadway surface to the top edge of the Barrier Ramp.
Barrier Clear Opening: The standard clear opening shall be 20' as measured inside to inside of the buttresses.
Finish: All external surfaces of the barrier, ramps, support mechanism and transporter shall have a rust inhibiting industrial enamel surface.
Barrier Ramp Locking Method: The following locking device shall be furnished:
Manual Locking Pin. The Barrier shall be provided with a locking pin with padlock locking points to secure the Barrier in the guard position.
PERFORMANCE
Experience: Barrier and auxiliary equipment shall be of a proven design.
Qualification Tests: Barrier design will be successfully tested in full scale configuration in accordance with the Department of State Specification SD-STD-02.01 dated April, 1985- with CERTIFIED RATINGS OF K4/L1 and or ASTM 2656-07 M30 and ASTM 2656-07 M40.
PRIME MOVER - HYDRAULIC POWER UNIT- BATTERY POWERED
The Barrier System shall be raised, lowered, deployed and retrieved by means of a Battery Powered precision Hydraulic Power Unit. The Hydraulic Power Unit shall be powered by a high energy, deep discharge battery. When fully charged it should operate the Barrier Ramp minimum 100 cycles without recharging provisions.
The standard rising speed of the Barrier Ramp to a full guard position shall be adjustable within the range of 5-12 seconds. Lowering speed shall be within range of 3-15 seconds. Barrier direction shall be instantly reversible from the control station(s) or manual push button control, at any point in a cycle.
RECHARGING SYSTEMS.
The Hydraulic Power Unit circuit shall be designed and configured to accept a wide range of external inputs for recharging the battery or for direct powering of the Hydraulic Power Unit.
Built in Battery Charger - Local Power Source. The Hydraulic Power Unit shall have a built-in Battery Charger, operating on local power, sized to operate the barrier 400 complete up/down cycles in a 24 hour period. (Based on a maximum throughput of 60 in any two-hour period).
Field Interchangeable Battery Pack. The system shall be supplied with 2 Portable Rechargeable Battery Packs suitable for rapid field replacement or interchange. The Battery Pack shall be provided with a cable and connector. A mating connector will be mounted on the HPU for quick attachment.
When fully charged a Rechargeable Battery Pack should operate the Barrier 50 full cycles without external re-charging.
Each Rechargeable Battery Pack shall have a built-in battery charging circuit that will operate from 115 VAC 50/60 Hz.
The Battery Pack will be in a self-contained plastic insulated case and have suitable carrying handles and electric power cord for convenient recharging.
Other Charging Means: The Hydraulic Power Unit control panel shall have input electrical connectors to accept the following inputs. One or more external source may be used simultaneously.
Direct Powering of the Hydraulic Power Unit:
a) Jumper input from standard automobile battery 12VDC.
b) Input from Field Interchangeable Battery Pack (cable integral with Battery Pack).
c) Battery charging: 110-120VAC 50/60Hz.
MANUAL OPERATION. A separate hydraulic pump, manually operated shall be incorporated in the Hydraulic Power Unit to be available for deployment, retrieval and operation of the Barrier in the event of an insufficient power situation.
HYDRAULIC POWER UNIT -
Hydraulic Circuit: Unit shall consist of an electrically driven hydraulic pump which shall be connected to electrically actuated valves installed on a manifold to allow oil to be driven to a hydraulic cylinder(s) to raise or lower the Barrier during normal operation as well as deploying and retrieval. The hydraulic circuit shall include all necessary control logic, interconnect lines and valves.
Main Power: The electric motor driving the hydraulic pump shall be fed from 110-120VAC 50/60Hz. Motor shall be sufficiently sized for the expected number of Barrier operations.
Frequency of Operation: Barrier shall be capable of 60 complete up/down cycles per hour.
.
CONTROLS - The Barricade shall be controlled by means of wireless control and logic circuits. Must include receiver and antenna with 2 single button transmitters.
The following control circuits and stations shall be furnished:
Control Circuit: A control circuit shall be provided to interface between all Barrier control stations and the hydraulic power unit. This circuit shall contain all Programmable Logic Controllers, relays, timers and other devices when applicable.
Voltage: The control circuit shall operate from a (120 volt, 50/60 Hz supply) An internally mounted transformer shall reduce this 24VAC (24 VDC) for all external control stations.
Power Consumption: The control circuit power consumption shall not exceed 250 watts basic load, plus 200 watts for each Barrier in the system.
Construction: The control circuit shall be mounted in a general-purpose enclosure. All device interconnect lines shall be run to terminal strips.
Standard Remote Control Station: A standard remote control station shall be supplied to control the Barrier operation. This panel shall have a key lockable main switch. Buttons to raise or lower the barrier shall be provided.
Construction: The control station shall be mounted in a weather resistant, minimum rating NEMA 4 (IEC IP65), electrical enclosure. All connection points shall be clearly identified and coded to the applicable Delta drawing.
Voltage: The remote control panel shall operate on 24 VDC.
Panel shall be equipped with a timer circuit to notify the operator via an annunciator "squealer" that the Barrier has been left in the up position for too long time period. The time interval shall be pre set at the factory.
Position Indicating Lights. The Barrier shall be supplied with a limit switch to actuate when the Barrier is securely down. The limit switch shall operate panel lights to indicate the Barrier secure and not secure condition. Require 2- stop/go signal lights that correspond with the barricade being up/down with mounting flanges and posts.
. TRANSPORTER. The barrier system shall be mounted on a dual axle transporter with torsion suspension, configured for towing behind pick-up truck or equivalent. highway towing with a vehicle designed to take the tongue weights and gross vehicle weight, such as a 2.5 ton truck.
The Barrier shall be furnished with all necessary running lights, safety chains, electric brakes and other running gear acceptable to most domestic State highway departments. (Special equipment category.)
The Gross Vehicle weight including Barrier shall be approximately 10,000 pounds.
Tongue weight: 12' version approximately 1,214 pounds (nominal). 16' version 775 pounds (nominal). 20' version is pending.
QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS
Testing. Upon completion, the Barrier system will be fully tested in the manufacturer's shop. The following checks shall be made:
Identification: A nameplate with manufacturer's name, model number, serial number and year built shall be located at the hinged end structure.
Workmanship: The Barrier shall have a neat and workmanlike appearance.
Dimensions: Principle dimensions shall be checked against drawings and ordering information.
Finish: Coatings shall be checked against ordering information and shall be workmanlike in appearance.
PREPARATION FOR SHIPMENT.
The Barrier system shall be crated or mounted on skids as necessary to prevent damage from handling. The shipping container(s) shall be of sufficient structural integrity to enable the assembly to be lifted and transported by overhead crane or forklift without failure.
