Barrier Gate Arms
Barrier gate arms are a great way to add security and safety to parking areas, car washes, and other entry/exit ways. They are installed at access points to control traffic entering and exiting. Most barrier arms include sensors and other access-control devices like card readers, keypads, receivers, and transmitters. Barrier gate arms are extremely popular in high-traffic areas across the world. There are many benefits to installing a gate arm, and knowing how they work is vital to know which type of security system is right for certain environments.
Traffic flows through gate arms in several ways. The barrier can be opened via a card reader, keypad, telephone entry system, radio, photo eyes, or remotely through a guard station. The best opening system depends on the environment where the vehicle barrier gate arm will be used. For private access to a condo complex, maybe a card reader or keypad would be best. For other applications, such as a toll booth or parking garage, maybe a photo eye or remote access through a guard kiosk would work best. Exit barrier gate arms usually use photo eyes to open the gate arm, since the vehicle has already met the requirements to enter the secure area.
