The Universal Barrier Operator is able to be installed in minutes with minimal effort. The barrier was designed to so that all but the larger pieces such as the boom arm are ready for use out of the box. The setup can be broken down into 4 basic steps: Installing the machine on the ground, installing the boom, adjusting the boom’s limit position, and connecting the few electrical devices such as loop detector, photocells, voltage supply and safety accessories. (the limit switches, the motor, and the control unit are already connected). Further instructions and electrical guides are in the manual included in your purchase. The Universal Barrier Operator runs on a low voltage system which greatly reduces any risk involved in the electrical aspect of installation or maintenance.
