1.3  Design Requirements

.1  The mechanism must be ADA compliant for a 36” (914mm) wide passageway.

.2  The mechanism must be bi-directional.

.3  The mechanism must be able to control access in one or two directions.

.4  The gate must automatically open in the direction of evacuation during a power failure or fire alarm.

.5  When in the rest position, the obstacle must be electromechanically locked.

.6  An electronic torque limiter must be used to protect people passing through the gate while the moving glass obstacles are in motion.

.7  The equipment must allow the integration of card reader devices, ticketing systems or barcode reader systems.

.8  The cabinet dimensions, without glass obstacle, must be under: 40¼” (1022mm) high, 14 ¾” (375mm) large and 47¼” (1200mm) long.

.9  Glass obstacles must be available in height between 39” (970mm) to 67” (1700mm).

.10  The moving glass obstacle width must be 33¾” (855mm).

.11  It must be possible to mount optional fixed glass obstacles above the system’s cabinet to prevent individuals from bypassing the gate.

.12  3 operational modes must be available: free access, controlled access and locked.

.13  The system operation should not present any risk of injuries for users.

.14  Opening and closing times must be sufficiently fast to ensure a fluid circulation.

.15  The mechanism must have a highly rigid self-supporting frame.

.16  The mechanism must use photoelectric sensors for the monitoring of the following functions: actuation and safety.

.17  The sensors must be synchronized through the use of a control board.

.18  The cabinet must have removable or hinge-mounted side panels. Each panels need to be key-lockable.

.19  The hinge mount side panels must have an opening angle of at least 90º to allow easy access to both the electro-mechanical drive and electronic control units.

.20  The system must be designed to be remote-controlled from an attendant's booth or reception desk.

.21  Motorization must be achieved by an AC motor and a variable frequency speed controller.

.22  Two crankshaft-rod mechanisms must ensure smooth movements.

.23  A timing belt and pulley device must be used to transmit the motion to the obstacle.

1.4  Shop Drawings

.1  Indicate size and description of components, materials, attachment devices, descriptions of frame and finish, and construction details.

1.5  Closeout Submittals

.1  Provide maintenance data for hardware complete with pertinent details, and warnings against harmful maintenance materials and practices.

.2  Provide a technical manual describing in details the steps required to install, commission and use the equipment.

PART 2  PRODUCTS

2.1  Materials

.1  Housing must be made of ANSI 304 stainless steel sheet #4 brushed finish.

.2  Glass obstacles must be made of toughened glass 1/2” (12mm) thick.

.3  All internal mechanism parts and the self-supporting mechanical frame must be treated with zinc plating for corrosion resistance.

.4  Top covers must be made of composite or polymer materials such as Arborite™, Corian™, or equivalent. They must be 3/4” (19mm) thick.

2.2  Design Features

.1  Electrical power supply: 120V single-phase, 60Hz.

.2  Power consumption must be 250W (nominal) and 600W (max).

.3  The equipment must be able to run at temperatures ranging from 32 to 113°F (0°C to +45°C).

.4  The equipment must have an automatic opening device in case of power failure.

.5  The operation time must be 4.5 seconds per 90° movement.

.6  The equipment must be ADA compliant.
