Below is a brief guide on how to perform maintenance: Periodic maintenance steps: 1. Inspect mechanical components: - Ensure the barrier arm is intact with no damage or bending. - Lubricate moving parts such as joints and shafts to reduce friction. - Verify the correct balance of the arm. 2. Electrical maintenance: - Check electrical wires and connections for any damage or short circuits. - Test the gate’s electric motor and ensure it operates efficiently. - Confirm the integrity of the power supply and backup batteries (UPS) if present. 3. Sensor inspection: - Clean optical or thermal sensors from dust and dirt. - Ensure sensors are functioning correctly and responding to vehicles. - Adjust sensor sensitivity if necessary. #Parking_Curb_Units #Electronic_Gate_Systems #Car_Parking_Systems 4. Control system testing: - Inspect the electronic control panel and ensure there are no faults. - Update software (Software) if the gate relies on a specific operating system. - Confirm that remote controls or smart cards are working properly. 5. Preventive maintenance: - Clean system entrances and exits from dust and debris. - Ensure license plate recognition cameras (if present) are operating accurately. - Protect components from weather conditions (install covers or protective shields if necessary). 6. Overall structure testing: - Inspect metal and plastic materials for rust or cracks. - Ensure the base is stable and there are no abnormal vibrations during operation. Additional tips: - Keep a record of all maintenance and repair activities. - Use original spare parts to ensure a longer lifespan for the gate. - Rely on specialized technicians in case of major malfunctions. Tools required for maintenance: - Cleaning materials free from strong chemicals. - Special lubricating oil for mechanical equipment. - Electrical measuring devices (multimeter). - Diagnostic and update software (if available). User notifications: - Post notices during maintenance to inform users of temporary gate unavailability. - Provide an alternative gate when needed to avoid congestion.
