Enormous Interest in New Fast-Close Barrier in First Month
Emergency Fast Operation ( EFO ) Provides Increased Safety against Terrorists Using Vehicles as Weapons
Delta Scientific , has created unprecedented interest in its newest vehicle access control barrier , the HD200 , which features a 0.63 second emergency fast operation ( EFO ). Highlighting a very fast open / close cycle of 2-5 seconds , the HD200 was created for high traffic , densely-populated locations that need high speed open / close rates to get many vehicles in and out as well as very fast closing rates to protect the people .

“ We announced the HD200 vehicle barricade , which touts the fastest standard operating speed in the market in mid-September and , already , we ’ ve had as much or more interest in this barrier than any we have previously introduced ,” emphasizes Greg Hamm , Delta Scientific vice president , sales and marketing . “ The phones have not rung this much since the days after 9-11 . This only shows how security professionals have become very aware , since the tragedy in Nice , France , of how vehicles are now being used as weapons in terrorist attacks .”

The fast operating HD200 barrier will bring to a full stop a 7.5 ton ( 6803.9 kg ) medium duty truck travelling 30 mph ( 48.3 kph ) in less than 3.3 feet ( 1 meter ). The truck rebound after impacting the barrier was an incredible 11.5 feet ( 3.5 m ) in its crash test . This results in a crash rating of ASTM M30 / P1 . With a 0.63 second EFO speed , the HD200 barrier will stop and destroy a vehicle moving at 30 mph ( 48.3 kph ), equivalent to 44 feet ( 13.4 m ) per second , if triggered within 50 feet ( 15.2 m ) of the barrier . Especially in high traffic , high volume locations , the barrier is open much of the time , letting vehicles through . Therefore , when the location is heavily populated as well , the barrier must open and close frequently but , as importantly , close quickly . With a 24-inch ( 61 cm ) shallow foundation and fully enclosed , flush mount design , the HD200 obviates the concerns of interference with buried pipes , power lines and fiber optic communication lines in urban applications . The shallow foundation also reduces installation complexity , time , materials and corresponding costs . The HD200 is perfect for high water table locations and areas with corrosive soils . It provides low maintenance as its totally enclosed face is easily removed for access . Leveraging the latest technologies , the HD200 ’ s breakthrough EFO can be remotely controlled via fiber optics , touch screen control panels , NEMA rated control button panels and simple key switches . The HD200 barrier also features a full range of diagnostic indicators for early detection of any difficulties . As with most other Delta barricades and barriers that are properly maintained , projected life expectancy of the HD200 is 20 + years . Delta Scientific ‘ s three product lines consist of high-security vehicle barricade systems , parking control equipment and guard booths . Delta Scientific has been engineering and manufacturing vehicle access control equipment since 1974 and sells its products worldwide .
