gEnErAL InForMAtIon 

Of rugged construction, with an innovative and pleasant 
design, the road barriers EVA are suited for intensive use 
thanks to their 24VDC motor. This system is very easy to 
install and adjust. 
Equipped with an easy-to-use manual release, the barrier is 
preset to assemble buffer batteries to allow its operation in 
the event of power failure. 
The arm in paint aluminium allows for the housing of any 
accessories, as well as forewarning and safety devices. In 
the event the arm hits an obstacle, an amperometric sensor 
causes the movement reversion immediately.
The control unit is placed on the upper side of the barrier to 
facilitate wire connections.

 DIMEnSIonS

FIg.1

Overall dimensions are expressed in mm. 
The road barrier length ranges from 3m minimum to 5m 
maximum.
As about 25cm are required to fix a road barrier, a useful 
opening of passage, ranging from 2.75m to 4.75, will be 

available, as shown in Fig.1
Optional accessories can be fitted onto be barrier (photo-
cells, selector, etc.). For assembly, apply the special covers 
supplied (Rif. A).

The EVA.5 road traffic barrier is usually supplied in the right 
opening version (Fig. 2 EVA.5 RIGHT).
With a few, simple operations, it is however possible to modify 
a right-side oapening road barrier into a left-side one (Fig.2 
EVA.5 LEFT).

The access to the electric and mechanical components of 
the road barrier is protected by a lock with customized key. 
Proceed as follows:
1 loosen the two nuts D
2 introduce the key in the lock on the side of the door and 
turn it anti-clockwise
3 lift the front cover 
4 remove the cover
By removing the front door it is now possible to reach both 
the control unit, that is placed under the cover, and the me-
chanical parts of the road barrier.

If the opening direction reversion is required, proceed as 
follows. If it is not necessary, go to the next section:

•  Entirely unload the spring by loosening it and unhooking 

it from the “L” anchoring lever

•  with reference to Fig. 4, invert the position of the “F1” and 

“F2” mechanical stoppers. Before loosening the stoppers, 
back-off the related locking grains (see section HOW TO 
ADJUST THE MECHANICAL STOPERS)

•  unlock the geared motor (see “Manual Operation”) insofar 

as to render the L hooking lever idle.

•  according to the length of the road barrier arm and ac

-

cessories used, choose the correct hooking position, 
as indicated in paragraph “Positioning of the spring and 
accessories”. 

•  hook  the  spring  in  the  new  position.  Fig.  4  shows  the 

differences between a right-hand road barrier and a left-
hand one.

•  in the control unit, invert the wires of motor, as well 

as SWC limit switch (closing limit switch) and  SWC-R 
limit switch (closure braking limit switch).

After preparing the cable laying (mains power supply, acces-
sories, etc.), place the foundation plate keeping to dimensions 
indicated.
Brackets to be cemented are supplied with the system (ref. 
S). The brackets must be fitted to the foundation plate by 
means of 4 screws  M12x50 (ref. V).
Check that the foundation plate is perfectly flat (ref. L), then 
fix the road barrier by means of nuts D and corresponding 
washers R.
