4.2 Function
The pedestrian barrier MPT is intended for controlling of pedestri-
ans in outdoor areas with a relatively high security requirement.
Basically, the pedestrian barrier can be used in both directions. In
multi-lane installations with high throughput rates, the entry and ex-
it lanes can also be configured for one-way passage.
In its normal state, the pedestrian barrier is closed. The pedestrian
barrier can be cleared only after authorization by an external com-
mand transmitter, e.g. card reader. Lightly pushing the center col-
umn activates the drive. The center column moves into the next
closed position by itself.
The drive technology employed in this product enables the center
column to be easily blocked in any position during operation.
No slipping clutches or similar devices are used.
In the event of power failure, the center column can be freely rotat-
ed in both directions. Should a power failure occur, the center col-
umn can be mechanically locked in one or both directions by an
optional lock unit.
