ZKTeco BGM100 Automatic Boom Barrier (3 m Boom)

Overview

The ZKTeco BGM100 is an automatic boom barrier for vehicle entrances at apartment complexes, factories, offices and paid car parks. Its motor is rated for continuous use, so it keeps working through a busy gate rather than needing rest periods between cycles like lighter barriers. It takes a round straight boom of up to 3 m and opens in as little as 0.6 seconds.

Is it right for you?

• It suits a single vehicle lane up to 3 m wide; for a wider lane the BGM300 and BGM400 take telescopic booms up to 6 m.
• It suits a gate that cycles all day, thanks to the 100% duty cycle rating.
• It is rated -30 to 75 °C and IP54 for year-round outdoor duty.
• It needs a trigger of some kind: a reader, a number plate camera, a ticket system or a guard button.

Key features

• 24 V DC brushless motor rated to 5 million cycles (MCBF, mean cycles between failures) at 100% duty cycle, 100 W.
• Opening time adjustable from 0.6 to 3 seconds, so the speed can be set to the traffic.
• Round straight boom up to 3 m, covering a standard single-vehicle lane.
• Remote control with a range of up to 30 m.
• Powder-coated cold-rolled steel chassis, IP54, rated -30 to 75 °C and under 90% humidity.
• Runs on 110 or 220 V AC mains, converted to 24 V DC at 10 A inside the chassis.
• Chassis 350 x 306 x 1,070 mm, 45 kg; ordered as a left or right hand unit (BGM-100L/R).

What else you need

A way to open it: an RFID or long-range reader for residents, a ticket or number plate recognition (ANPR) system for visitors, or a guard push button. A loop detector or other safety device for the lane, and 110 or 220 V AC power at the gate. It can be managed alongside the rest of the access system in ZKBio CVSecurity.

Installation

A gate automation installer should fit it. The job involves a concrete foundation for the 45 kg chassis, mains power, wiring the trigger and safety devices, fitting the boom and setting the opening speed. Boom length, reader or ANPR choice, loop detectors and foundation work all depend on the gate.

Software and licences

Optional. The barrier opens on a signal from its trigger device; ZKBio CVSecurity can manage it with the rest of the access system.

Before you buy

• Choose the left or right hand version to suit which side of the lane the chassis stands.
• Boom up to 3 m: measure the lane width first.
• For a complete entry, tell us the lane width and how you want vehicles identified and we will quote the barrier, boom, reader and detectors together.
