The swing gate is widely used in areas where both pedestrians and vehicles coexist, such as residential communities. However, during actual implementation, configuration errors often lead to issues like the gate closing prematurely, hitting people, or damaging bicycles. Proper configuration can significantly reduce these problems and improve safety and efficiency.
**Common Misconfigurations:**
1. **Using a wedge without infrared delay reset**
This setup lacks an infrared sensor, so after swiping a card, the gate only resets after a fixed delay (1–60 seconds). It cannot detect whether a bicycle has passed through. Once the delay ends, the gate closes regardless of whether someone or something is still in the passage, leading to potential collisions and damage to the gate arm or mechanism.
2. **Using a standard swing gate with two pairs of infrared sensors**
Although this setup offers anti-tailgating and anti-reverse intrusion features, it can misinterpret a bicycle and rider passing together as a following person. The gap between the bike and the rider may break the infrared beam, causing the gate to close unexpectedly and potentially harm users or damage the gate.
3. **Using a short swing gate (e.g., 320mm) or a standard bridge gate (1200mm)**
When the swipe point is too close to the swing arm, people may walk into the arm while swiping, causing the front part of the body or bike to block the infrared sensor. This could result in the gate not opening properly, leading to invalid card readings and failed access.
**Recommended Configuration:**
1. **Extended swing gate (1600mm) + 4 pairs of infrared sensors + bicycle channel program + anti-collision swing arm**
This setup increases the distance between the swipe area and the gate arm, reducing the chance of collision. The additional infrared sensors and specialized bicycle program ensure that the gate remains open until the entire vehicle has passed. The anti-collision arm uses a compression spring system to allow the gate to move slightly when impacted, preventing damage and reducing maintenance needs.
2. **Standard swing gate (1200mm) with an added swipe column at the entrance + 4 pairs of infrared sensors + bicycle channel program + anti-collision arm**
By extending the swipe zone using a column, the risk of people or bikes hitting the gate arm during entry is minimized. The four infrared sensors work with the bicycle program to keep the gate open as long as needed, and the anti-collision feature ensures safe operation even if a collision occurs. After impact, the arm automatically returns to its correct position, avoiding frequent repairs and downtime.
This improved configuration addresses the issue of bicycles in the channel from three key angles: extended swipe area, advanced infrared detection, and intelligent anti-collision design. It enhances user experience, reduces mechanical stress, and lowers maintenance costs, making it ideal for mixed pedestrian and vehicle environments.
