MySpot 200Installation Procedure (Concrete)

19JULY2007

2

Locating the MySpot 200The unit is placed so that,

when the car is parked the barrier is ahead of the

rear wheels but does not interfere with

the access to the front doors.

3

Install in Middle

Only install the unit in the middle of the space

4

Space Requirements

Surface must be flat No standing water No high points

5

Inspect the CartonA: PowerPod (includes the

electronics and the mechanism)

B: IdlePod

C: Barrier

D: (2) remote controls

E: Parts kit

F: Drilling Template

6

Where to Place the Unit

Place the template “TT” as shown

7

Direction of Template

The template must be perpendicular to the edge of the parking space

Note the direction of the arrow on the template

8

Drill Pilot Holes

Use a small (6mm, ¼”) drill to mark the 7 holes by drilling through the template into the surface

Do not drill directly with the larger drill

Remove template Verify that all 7 holes are

clearly visible

9

Concrete or Asphalt?

The procedure is different for concrete and for asphalt surfaces.

If the surface is asphalt, close this manual and select the “Asphalt installation” manual

10

Concrete Anchors 7 anchors are included Each includes a special M6

bolt and washer They require a 65mm hole

depth They require a hole

diameter of 10mm (3/8”)

11

Concrete: Drill 7 holes

Use a 10mm (3/8”) masonry drill

Drill precisely where the 7 small holes were marked

Drill to a depth of 65mm (2.5”) or more

Blow holes clean when done

12

Insert Anchors

Push anchors into holes until the head is flush with ground

Use M6 wrench to tighten Allen bolt moderately

Do not remove bolts yet

13

Clean Surface

Broom sweep area

14

Remove Screws

Removed the bolts and washers from the 7 anchors

15

Separate Plates from Pods

Remove 4 security bolts from PowerPod

Remove 2 security bolts from IdlePod

Separate the pods from the plates

16

Attach Plates

Use large washers and bolts from anchors (7 sets)

Secure plates to ground Do not tighten yet

17

Check alignment Bend or cut template as

shown Place template between

plates Adjust plates until aligned

parallel to edges of template

Verify that there is less than 4mm (1/8”) gap between template and plates

18

Tighten Screws

Once the alignment has been confirmed, tighten the 7 bolts of the anchors

If any bolt will not tighten (anchor slips), remove anchor, use some filler and reapply anchor

It is essential that all 7 anchors share the load

19

Attach PowerPod Use the 4 security bolts

and washers that came with the IdlePod assembly to secure the pod to the plate

If the wrong bolts are used (too long), they will push the plates out of the ground

Tighten the 4 bolts securely

20

Disassemble IdlePod

The IdlePod needs to be attached to its plate using 3 bolts

To access the 3rd bolt, the cover needs to be removed

Use the security wrench to remove the 3 bolts

21

Remove Cover

Lift the cover of the IdlePod

Lift the shaft The 3rd hole may be

protected by a plastic insert

Remove the insert by pushing it from the top

22

Prepare IdlePod Plate

Place 2 adaptors over the 2 outside holes in the plate

If these adaptors are not in your kit, proceed without them

23

Attach IdlePod Use security bolt, star

washer and flat washer to attach the 2 outside ears of the pod to the plate

Use a black Allen bolt with star washer and flat washer for the middle attachment point

Make sure all bolts are the proper length; bolts that are too long will push the plate off the ground

Tighten all 3 bolts

24

Place Shaft in IdlePod Place the shaft back so

that the slot fits over the bar in the base

The cowling on the shaft must be free to fall forward (towards the entrance to the space)

If it is not, rotate the shaft 180 degrees before placing it on the base

25

Close Cover of IdlePod Place the cover over the

IdlePod Make sure it is seated

correctly Secure in place using 3

security bolts with star washers

26

WARNING Failure to use the

internal bolt for mounting the IdlePod to the plate will cause the IdlePod ears to break off and void the warranty

27

Install the Barrier Slide the barrier over the

cowlings of the 2 pods as shown

The barrier should be kept parallel to the ground as it is being installed

Only minimal force is required

If excessive force is required, check the alignment of the pods

28

Secure the Barrier

Use the 4 short security bolts and star washers

Tighten securely using the special wrench in the kit

29

Ready for Test

The installation is now complete. The next steps cover the test procedure

30

The Remotes

2 Remote controls are included in the kit

Each remote can control up to 9 separate barriers

The barrier in the kit was factory programmed to accept the #2 button on each of the 2 remotes

31

Terminology

Please study the sketch on the right

Shown are 4 states of the barrier

32

Locked Up State This is the normal

“blocking” state Applying moderate force

to the barrier in either direction will not move the barrier

However, if the force exceeds 30 Kg (65 lbs), the barrier will yield

When the excessive force is removed, the barrier will return to the Locked Up state.

Barrier Does not Respond If the barrier does not

respond when removed from the carton..

And it is in the Locked Down state..

Use the Emergency key To release the barrier A. Remove the security bolt

and washer B. Use the 6mm Allen wrench

and rotate the internal bolt counter clockwise

33

34

UnLocked State Press the #2 button on

the Remote. The barrier will fall Its new position is the Un

Locked state In this state, the barrier can be raised

by hand with no resistance If raised all the way, it will lock in the

Locked Up position If the barrier was previously manually

raised, when the command drops the barrier to the UnLocked state, the internal motor can be heard running an extra cycle. This is normal

35

Locked Down State When a wheel of the car

drives over the barrier, the barrier is pushed to the ground

That is the Overtravel state

When the wheel leaves the barrier, the barrier returns to the Locked Down state

The only way to exit the locked down state is via a remote command

36

Testing, continued If the barrier is in the

Unlocked state… …Step on the barrier You need to apply 100 Kg

(220 lbs) to force the barrier to the ground

Jump if your weight is less than that…

The barrier will hit the ground

When you step off, it will rise somewhat to the Locked Down state

37

Testing, Last Step Step on the barrier a

second time The barrier needs to be

driven on twice, like a car getting in and out, to prevent accidental raising of the barrier under a parked car

Push the #2 button on the remote

The barrier will rise to the Locked Up position

38

Troubleshooting

If you run into a problem when testing the unit
