ECI was called to the Joliet Job Corps Center recently to upgrade the vehicle access control equipment at the guard house at the entrance to the facility. One of the newly installed Nice/HySecurity StrongArmParkâ„¢ DC 10 automatic barrier gates is shown at the access lane above. You can see the signs of wear and decreased reliability of the old egress barrier gate (also replaced) below on the opposite side.
The StrongArmPark DC10 offers a blend of reliability, efficiency and advanced features. It is designed for simple setup and requires minimal ongoing maintenance thus reducing downtime and operational costs.
A standard UPS battery backup allows for up to 1000 cycles during an AC power loss, ensuring continuous operation during outages. A lighted arm increases visibility and a resilient bumper protects both vehicles and pedestrians.
The arm breaks away if struck by a vehicle strike and motion stops immediately. This protects pedestrians, the facility and the operator.
Programmable features allow the gate to operate remotely. Instant notifications are sent of any issues or unauthorized access attempts.
Several options are available including a solar-powered version, custom color finishes, an additional output relay module, etc.
The maximum arm length for the DC10 is 10 feet. Other Models in the StrongArmPark series are designed for longer arm lengths up to 14 feet.
The barrier gate integrates seamlessly with most guard house operations and help control all incoming and outgoing traffic. Access is granted to authorized personnel and vehicles only. An accurate count of vehicles on the premises is available at all times while traffic flow can be effectively managed during peak hours.
