Cable Gate

Cable Gate is an innovative automatic security gate system for controlling vehicle access to and from private or secured properties.

A thick stainless-steel cable is securely locked between two steel posts positioned either side of an entry, providing an effective physical barrier against unauthorised vehicle access.

With the convenience of automatic control, authorised access is provided from within the comfort and safety of your vehicle.

A motor housed inside the master post drives down a latch, releasing the cable to lay flat on the ground. After a vehicle has passed through, the cable is automatically drawn back up and locked again inside the post, re-securing the entry.

How it works

Upon receiving an "open" command, the Locking Latch inside the Master Post is instantly pulled down allowing the Main Cable to fall to the ground under the action of gravity. The Counterweight Bar on the outside of the Passive Post helps to pull the Main Cable out of the Master Post, and lay the cable flat on the ground so that authorised vehicles may enter through the Gate.

• When the Gate is open the Main Cable remains connected to the Master Post by the thinner Pull-in Cable. The Cable remains securely attached to the Passive Post at all times.
• The Gate will remain open for 25 seconds (or any other period that has been programmed, up to a maximum of 65 seconds). If a vehicle has not passed through within this time the Gate will automatically close to resecure the entry. To reopen the Gate, a new "open" command will be required by the Gate Controller.
• When a vehicle passes through the Gate, the Photoelectric Beam is broken. While the Photoelectric beam is broken the Gate is held open. Once the vehicle has cleared the Gate and the Photoelectric Beam is re-established, the Gate will close automatically.
• To close the Gate, the Motor drives a Winch Drum inside the Master Post that winds in the Pull-in Cable. The Pull-in Cable draws the Main Cable in through the Entry Mouth and locks it securely over the Latch inside the Master Post.
• If the Gate receives another "open" command, prior to closing after the passage of the first vehicle, the Gate will remain open to allow the second vehicle to enter before closing automatically.
