2. SUMMARY
RSSI Barriers, LLC (hereafter “RSSI” or “RSSI Barriers”)
manufactures anti-ram vehicle barriers that reliably operate in all
climates with minimal maintenance. This specification defines the
Model RSS-4000 series Pop-up electric vehicle barrier manufactured
by RSSI Barriers.
Crash tests have been performed and data compiled by approved
independent agencies certifying that the barrier meets performance
evaluations per ASTM specification M50. The barrier will be listed
on the ASTM approved anti-ram vehicle barrier list upon next
update. The design and structural materials of the vehicle barrier
furnished will be the same as those used in the crash tested
barrier.
The barrier’s vault assembly is hot dipped galvanized and
requires foundation depth of 60”. The barrier unit that raises to
an above ground position is constructed of reinforced tubular steel
and is powder coated providing a variety of available colors.
Removable nonskid roadway plates, secured by tamperproof flush
bolts, provide easy access to the maintenance and service points of
the barrier without the use of heavy equipment. If it becomes
necessary, the entire mechanical structure which is designed as an
insert can be lifted out of the foundation for any major repairs or
maintenance. This insert assembly is also hot dipped galvanized for
corrosion protection.
In the “UP” position, the barrier presents a visible obstacle to
approaching vehicles capable of stopping and destroying heavily
loaded trucks moving at high speeds. The height of the
vehicle-arresting element is 36” measured from the roadway surface
to the top of the bollard. Red strobe lights on the posts flash to
provide caution when the barriers are deployed. Upon impact, forces
are transferred though the posts into the foundation.
In the “DOWN” position, the barrier is completely flush with the
roadway and will not damage tires, snowplows, sweeping machines,
etc.
A servo electromechanical actuator operates the barrier. The
barrier is capable of 200 complete UP / DOWN cycles per hour. The
barrier motion is reversible and at normal operating speed the
barrier raises in 3 seconds. With the emergency fast operation
circuit installed, the barrier raises in 1.5 seconds.
In the event of a power failure, the barrier is designed to
remain in the last commanded position. The barrier can be operated
by a battery back-up system or manually using standard hand tools
or a drill fitted with the proper drive.
All major components, including the actuator, the control and
logic modules, and the cabinet, are built to withstand heavy
industrial traffic control requirements. These components, together
with any specified options, are housed in a weather resistant
cabinet designed to withstand the anticipated environmental
conditions of the installation site.
The control and logic modules are field programmable by a
professional installer to meet the widest range of operating
requirements, including interface with remote control stations and
buried detectors. A range of optional inputs can be used to command
the barrier, such as: vehicle loop detectors, access control
systems, remote hard wired control, remote radio, card reader, key
switch, local guard operator console, or a combination thereof.
The pop-up barrier and accessories provide for easy maintenance,
such that local maintenance technicians can perform routine and
annual maintenance tasks without the use and assistance of heavy
equipment.
RSSI Barriers provides a three (3) year electrical warranty and
a five (5) year mechanical warranty from the date the barrier
leaves our manufacturing facility. Parts only. Freight not
included. Extended warranty options may be available. Please
inquire.
