Boom Gate Operational Manual Notes
Boom Gate Operational Manual Notes
Microtik switch
➢ Data (network to the boom) is supplied using sfp port in some booms and others use port number
1(utp). Greenlight shows that we have a successful connection.
➢ Port 2 is connected to the internet communicator.
➢ Port 3 is connected to ANPR.
➢ Port 5 is connected to intercom.
➢ IP address is stamped on microtik switch.
IC (Internet communicator) Mini os i-7188E4D
➢ IN 1, IN2, IN3, IN4 (red lights to these inputs showing ready to receive data (INPUT commands))
➢ RL1, RL2, RL3, RL4, RL5(OUTPUT commands)
➢ This controller receives, process and transmits DATA to and from the IC, and sends commands to
the motor and traffic lights. It also receives data from the LD and sends it to the motor.
➢ RL2 and RL4 LEDs(red) shows an output for boom close.
➢ If boom is open RL1 shows red led and others turn off
➢ If truck passes boom or boom is triggered to closed IN1 turns off showing that an input command
to close the boom has been send and it triggers RL5 then the booms close (back to initial state
RL2 and RL4)
➢
24V Power supply (variable)
inductive loop
➢ this consists of electromagnetic wires (inductive circuitry) that are used to sense if there is a truck
and no truck (it senses metal).
➢ the loop is found right about where the boom is as shown above.
Dual channel vehicle detector
➢ This is a device that gets feedback from the loop whether there is a metal or not.
➢ Power showing red led means we are receiving power
➢ If there is a truck(metal) on the loop channel 1 is supposed to light up one led (DET led) and i
no metal is detected, then it is not supposed to light up.
➢ Channel 2 lights up both led because we do not have another channel only one channel is
operational
➢ If channel 1 shows DET or FAULT led press the reset button to remove those errors. If error
still shows remove the LD and put it back.
➢ Inside buttons are sensitivity switches currently its operating with 10 switches except for VID
and Scanner 48 which are using 6 switches
➢ The single-phase electric motor provides the drive to the boom pole or to our system in opening
and closing of the boom.
➢ The motor is a forward and reverse type of a motor which makes it able to open and close the
boom system.
➢ It is connected to a start capacitor and two relays for forward and reverse boom operation.
Qr code reader
➢ The reader function is to capture information on the ticket/coupon and the information is
conveyed to DAM and IC for processing.
➢ Further decision making is done in our two controllers IC and DAM. (That is the qr code is
connected to the DAM and IC).
➢ It is powered by 5vdc, and it is connected to the network also for it to communicate or encodes
information.

Please note:
3. Some connections are not common on all boom gates (e.g IN2 on D.A.M to 24 on V.D).
