Installation Instructions for IP500 Beam Barriers DELTA MODEL IP500 (H) CRASH BEAM INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS General The objective of the Delta Model IP500 (H) installation is to accurately align and position the two pods relative to each other. Each pod consists of two modules: a larger module that provides most of the weight, and a smaller module that serves as an anchor for the chain crash tube. The pods should be oriented so that the hinge side is on the side of the roadway required by the installation (the larger weight pods can be towards or away from the threat vehicle). The center distance between the pods is determined by the order data. So there are no mistakes, the materials should be laid out and examined; in particular, the crash beam steel chain assembly should be measured to confirm its free length. The crash beam assembly is shipped with a heavy, special processed steel chain inside the crash beam with the latch end pin installed. The chain has yellow two-piece coupling links at both ends. With the crash beam assembly laid out on a horizontal surface, measure the distance between the outside of the latch pin and the corresponding location on the yellow coupling at the other end of the chain. This dimension less 43.5 inch [110, 5 cm] should be at least 1.0 inch [2, 5 cm] greater than the specified clear opening. If on first examination the chain appears to be shorter than specified, the chain should be inspected to see that it has not been twisted or tangled within the crash beam assembly. A twisted chain that appears to be short can most often be corrected by turning the free end of the chain while still in the crash beam assembly. If this doesn't work the chain should be removed from the crash beam assembly and checked while laying straight, flat and untwisted on a horizontal surface. After the pods are set in place and the concrete is allowed to harden, the Beam Barrier itself is assembled on the posts. Referenced Dimensions The distance from the inside of one pod to the inside of the other is defined as the clear opening length, and the barricade is purchased on that basis. The clear opening is the largest width that can pass between the pods without touching them. The clear opening is typically about 12 inches [30, 5 cm] greater than the width of the roadway. The center to center distance of the support post centers is 36.69 inches [93, 2 cm] longer than the clear opening. For example, if a 144 inch [3, 66 m] Barrier was purchased, the center to center distance of the support posts will be 180.69 inches [4, 59 m]. The center of the beam's height above the roadway is 33.25 inches [84, 46 cm] though the weight of the beam and the chain will cause it to sag somewhat. This standard height will effectively block the main body of most of the vehicle classes which may constitute a typical security threat. Application Notes When designing an IP500 (H) or its variations into a roadway site, it is helpful to consider the following points: 1) The gate is purchased on the basis of the clear opening, which is defined as the inside dimension measured between the pods. 2) Make sure that there are no obstructions that will interfere with the path of the Crash Beam's swing; for example, power lines, trees, overhanging buildings, etc. Additionally, the ground underneath the pods must be flat, level, and stable. 3) Delta Scientific Corporation suggests that a layout be done of the actual site to examine the fit of the Barrier. The thought put into the layout can mean the difference between a successful installation and a poorly performing Barrier. Delta Scientific Corporation welcomes your questions in regard to application of our products and we will be pleased to review any site drawings or make recommendations on the appropriate length and position of the Crash Beam Barrier. Site Preparation and Pour 1) The first step of the IP500 installation is to fill the pods with concrete and allow it to harden. The pour can be done directly at the site of the installation or the pods can be filled remotely, allowed to harden, and then brought to the job site. If the pour is done at the job site, skip to steps 2, 3 and 4 below to position the pods before pouring. Before pouring concrete make sure that there are conduits in place for all hydraulic and electrical lines needed to operate the barricade and any optional equipment. The pods have no bottom, so they must be placed on a flat, smooth, and hard surface before the pour is attempted. Flat concrete or smooth asphalt is acceptable. Otherwise, the bottom of the pods will not be flat, or the wet concrete may squeeze out the bottom. Place a plastic tarp under the pods or coat the ground with a concrete releasing agent before pouring concrete. This will prevent the pods from bonding with the surface they are poured on. 2) Outline with a chalk line the location of the pods. Make sure the clear opening distance is correct. Also confirm that chalk outlines are aligned correctly. The distance between the pods and the alignment can be adjusted somewhat but be as accurate as possible. 3) Each module slots 3" x 8" [7, 62 cm x 20,32cm] slots which are designed to make the modules easy to move with a forklift. The anchor modules must be held from the side by a forklift and the weight modules must be held from the end. If the modules are set in place at the job site before the concrete is poured, it is better to use a concrete releasing agent instead of a plastic tarp to prevent bonding to the ground. If a tarp is used, it will cover the chalk lines, but the chalk should still be visible under a releasing agent. The anchor modules must be set in place first. Place the anchor modules in the chalk outlines made in step 2 above. The stop signs should be facing the protected side of the barricade. The hole in the hinge post ears should be offset away from the road. The claw shape of the latch post should be pointing away from the road. Once the anchor modules are in place, measure the clear opening to make sure it is correct. Also confirm that the modules are aligned with respect to each other. 4) After the anchor modules are set in place, the weight modules can be positioned. First, take the removable covers off the top of the weight modules. Near the end opposite the stop sign find the steel tubes. These tubes hold the drop pins that interlock the modules. Make sure the tubes are empty before moving the weight modules into place. Use a forklift to hold the module at the end with the stop sign. Line up the slots on the other end of the module with the interlock tabs of the anchor module. Gently move the weight module up against the anchor module, making sure that the interlock tabs go into the slots of the weight module. It is important to do this carefully to prevent moving the anchor module when positioning the weight module. 5) Remeasure the clear opening and check the alignment. If they are both still correct, place the drop pins in the tubes. The drop pins must reach the bottom of the tubes (the metal rings at the top of the pins should be just below the top of the tubes). 6) If pouring concrete at the job site, pour it and allow it to harden in the modules. 7) Replace the covers to each module. 8) Excavate and prepare suitable forms for the foundation base of the hydraulic power unit. 9) Trench for the hydraulic lines and any electrical conduits from the hydraulic power unit to the end support post assembly(s). Install the PVC ducting for the hydraulic hoses and all required electrical conduit from customer's control point(s) and the power disconnect to the Barrier. 10) Concrete notes and specifications (minimum requirements): A) Contractor shall verify and be responsible for all dimensions and conditions at the job site. B) Concrete shall be laboratory designed, machine mixed, producing 3,000 psi (20, 68 MPa) at 28 days. C) Cement shall be tested Portland cement conforming to ASTM C150, Type I or II. D) Aggregates shall conform to ASTM C33. Maximum size of aggregate shall be 1.5 inch (38 MM). E) Concrete shall be conveyed from the mixer to final deposit by methods that will prevent separation or loss of materials. Troughs, buckets or the like may be used to convey concrete. In no case shall concrete be allowed to free drop more than 5 feet (1, 5 M). F) Concrete shall be thoroughly consolidated by suitable means during placement and shall be thoroughly worked around reinforcement and embedded fixtures and into corners of forms. G) Concrete shall be maintained above 50ºF [10ºC] and in a moist condition for at least 7 days after placement. Adequate equipment shall be provided for heating concrete materials and protecting concrete during freezing or near freezing weather. H) Conduits and pipes of aluminum shall not be embedded in concrete unless effectively coated or covered to prevent aluminum/concrete reaction or electrolytic action between aluminum and steel. I) Contractor shall be responsible for the protection of all adjacent areas against damage and shall repair or patch all damaged areas to match existing improvements. J) Contractor shall keep the construction area clean at all times and at completion of work remove all surplus materials, equipment and debris and leave the premises in a clean condition acceptable to the owner or owner's representative. Crash Beam Assembly Component List Hinge End Module Assembly w/Hinge End Top Plate and Hydraulic Cylinder Latch End Module Assembly Two Weight Modules Drop Pins to Connect Modules Yoke Assembly w/Bearing (Pillow) Blocks Crash Tube Clamp Barrier Crash Tube with PVC liner w/Crash Beam Chain Assembly Limit Switch (es) (optional) Hydraulic Power Unit Hydraulic Interconnect Hoses Hydraulic Fittings (as required) Miscellaneous Mounting Hardware Miscellaneous Purchased Options The assembly can be done most conveniently by two persons and a small fork lift or other lifting device. Note: If mechanized lifting equipment is not available, adequate personnel for handling are necessary as the crash beam assembly weighs up to 350 pounds [160 kg] (depending on length). Assembly Sequence 1) Allow the concrete to harden as specified. 2) If necessary, mount the hinged end top plate on the hinged end post assembly using the 3/4"-10 nuts and washers (leave loose). 3) Remove the hinge module hydraulic cylinder access cover and set aside. 4) If necessary, mount the lower end of the hydraulic cylinder using the clevis attachment point in the cylinder cabinet. Lock the clevis pin in place with the locking pin furnished. 5) If necessary, set bearing blocks on the yoke pivot shafts. 6) Set the yoke assembly (with bearing blocks attached) on the hinged end top plate. Loosely fasten the bearing block bolts (1/2"-13 x 1.5" long). 7) Remove the 3/4"-10 nuts and washers from the hinge end top plate and install the yoke safety retainer brackets. Re-install the 3/4"-10 nuts and washers (leave loose). 8) Place the tube locking collar around the crash beam with the positioning tab facing the hinge end. Do not tighten the collar bolts until the tube is positioned in the yoke. 9) Lift the crash beam tube assembly containing the chain and latch pin and slide it into the yoke. It is necessary to start the loose end of the chain into the yoke. 10) If the hinge pin is not already installed, it should be installed now. Loosen one of the yoke bearing blocks and raise one side of the yoke to have clearance while installing the hardened anchor pin. Insert the hardened 2 inch [5, 08 cm] diameter pin through the two anchor ears and secure in place with roll pins. Lower the yoke and tighten the bearing block bolts. Connect the last link of the chain to the hinge pin with the second yellow two piece coupling. Unscrew the set screw in the collar at the center of the coupling and remove the shaft. Place half the coupling around the hinge pin and the other half around the last link of the chain. Reinsert the shaft through both halves of the coupling and the collar. Tighten the set screw in the collar. 11) Check the position of the center of the bearing blocks relative to the center of the hinge pin. The hinge pin should be about 5/8 inch [1, 59 cm] further back (away from the road) than the bearing block center. The bearing blocks have slots that allow for some adjustment. If necessary, loosen the bearing block bolts, move the bearing block, and retighten the bolts. 12) With the crash beam in the horizontal position push the chain into the tube at the yoke end, so that a minimum of chain is exposed. Next insert the 3/4 inch [1, 9 cm] round cross pin through the hangers on the yoke and through the closest chain link. Tighten the set screws in the hanger. This is to minimize the amount of free chain exposed beyond the end of the tube. 13) Attach the upper end of the hydraulic cylinder to the mounting clevis on the bottom side of the yoke. Secure the clevis pin in place with the locking pin furnished. 14) With the Crash Beam in the full down position, check the side clearance between the latching pin mounting box and the latching end posts. The box should be centered. Note: If the box is not centered, with the four nuts securing the hinged end top plate loose, swing the beam until it is centered on the latching post - then tighten the four nuts. 15) With the crash beam in the full down position, check the clearance between the hardened latching pin and the latch posts. The clearance should be approximately 1/2 inch [12 mm]. This should be confirmed by raising and lowering the Crash Beam and insuring there is no interference in any direction. If there is interference, the crash tube can be moved in or out or turned as required. Once the proper clearance is established the locking collar on the tube can be nested into the notch in the yoke and firmly tightened. 16) Grease the bearing blocks, actuator clevises and the chain at the points where the chain exits the crash beam. Use Shell Oil Company "Dolium R", Chevron "SRI No. 2" or Texaco Inc. "Premium RB" or similar. 17) Set the hydraulic power unit on the foundation, locate and drill for the anchor bolts. Caulk the base of the power unit enclosure to the foundation using a suitable RTV compound. Tighten foundation bolts. 18) Pull the hydraulic hoses from the hydraulic power unit to the hydraulic cylinder on the hinge post. 19) Pull any wires from the hydraulic power unit to the end support posts as required. Pull power and control wires to the hydraulic power unit. 20) Replace the hinge end support hydraulic cylinder access cover. 21) Touch up paint if required. Stripe the beam with the reflective tape if desired. Apply a thin film of anti-seize lubricant (compound) to any non painted or non plated carbon steel surfaces (such as bearing blocks and exposed threads of fasteners). Operation Notes 1) This barrier system is equipped with a descent control valve which is located on the lower fitting of the hydraulic cylinder. It will prevent the rapid descent of the crash beam in the event the hydraulic pressure line is ruptured or sabotaged. It has been factory set and sealed and should not be tampered with, nor should anyone attempt to adjust it. In the event of a problem contact the factory immediately for a calibrated replacement.
