Rising to the challenge of vehicle access control

The J Series bollard represents a new generation access control solution. Many design innovations make it easy to handle and install but best of all its performance is market leading and lifetime costs exceptionally competitive. Activated by any access control system or signalling device, it is an alternative solution to fixed posts and barriers, allowing regulation of traffic into certain zones with high vehicle flow, (e.g. restricted areas, pedestrian areas, parking and industrial sites and many more). Available with a diameter of 275mm, and a height of 600mm or 800mm.

J 275 Bollard guarantees free pedestrian flow, but manages vehicle traffic or limited parking, with the following advantages:

• Does not disfigure the characteristics of the environment because of its mobile concealed element with minimal environmental impact

• Ensures greater protection of pedestrian areas in the town centre

• Allows access to authorised vehicles only

• Reduces and optimises the  use of human resources in access control activities

• Customisable colour selection for blending in with the urban context

• Activity can be signalled by built-in buzzer and led outer ring, according to its position

• A full range of accessories is available

• Its function is to deter

The J Series has a number of exceptional features

The bollard was designed and tested in order to optimise installation, servicing and maintenance activities whilst maintaining maximum reliability over its lifetime.

1. new drive concept – the drive unit is mounted in the moving cylinder

2. high resistance steel structure

3. fast moving cylinder

4. “fully optional” version including all main accessories

5. Lowered maintenance costs, due to one man servicing.

6. flexible control unit that manages up to 4 bollards

7. Possible replacement of first generation fAAc city bollards

8. cylindrical shaped metal sheets make up the foundation box, enabling easy handling

12 reasons to explain the uniqueness of J275 bollard

1. Mobile drive unit, extractable by a handle for ease of replacement or maintenance

2. cylinder slides on double rail to provide better stability in raising and lowering

3. no pipes with oil under pressure to avoid risk of failure's risks

4. Built-in illuminated outer ring powered by central led and acoustic buzzer

5. Built-in emergency release in case of power failure

6. Built-in mechanical release to lower the cylinder in any circumstances

7. cylinder available in stainless steel AISI 316

8. Internal fixing frames made of stainless steel

9. connectors and junction boxes, with IP 67 certification

10. Round-section pit to optimize digging works

11. Pit supplied in a kit to minimise transport charges and packaging dimensions

12. JE 275 control board able to manage up to four bollards

J 275: automatic

The J Series Automatic concealed traffic bollard is advisable when many transits per day are expected.It can be activated automatically by commands given by authorised persons (cards, remote-controls, etc.) or by automatic commands operating at set times (hourly programmer).The device has double effect hydraulic activation, with a drive station.

J 275: semiautomatic

This type of concealed bollard should preferably be used when accesses are limited, or are combined with the automatic version.It solves transit and/or parking problems, at a reasonable cost, without the need for electrical energy; in fact, thanks to the single-effect gas actuator, lifting occurs automatically with a key, whereas lowering is achieved by slight foot pressure on the head of the concealed bollard.

FAAC City K: antiterrorism

FAAC CITY K 275 H700 automatic

It was specifically designed to meet increasingly frequent security requirements.

Available only in the Automatic version, it stands out for its extremely high anti break-in resistance. This traffic bollard was specifically designed to meet increasingly frequent security requirements. Its applications include creating protective barriers or allowing access to particularly sensitive zones such as: Embassies, Consulates, Public Offices, Banks, etc. Impact by a vehicle against the cylinder of the K 275 H700 concealed bollard can produce two types of deformation: elastic and permanent.Elastic deformation: 16,000 Joule. FAAC CITY continues to operate and the safety devices are guaranteed.Permanent deformation: 630,000 Joule (partial or total breakage of the concealed traffic bollard).
