Answer:
The FAAC B680H is fully retrocompatible with the foundation mounting plates of legacy FAAC 620 and 640 barrier units and mounts windproof round or elliptically profiled modular beams up to 8.3 m. The onboard E680 controller integrates two inductive loop detectors, dedicated expansion ports for GSM, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi modules, and connects to an optional XBAT 24 backup module using NiMH batteries (they are not included).
System integration and physical interfacing for the FAAC B680H barrier support rapid field deployments and facility retrofits:
- Civil Works Retrocompatibility: The base mounting template directly matches existing foundation plates from legacy FAAC 620 and FAAC 640 automatic barriers, allowing brownfield installations to upgrade to hybrid hydraulic technology without excavating or repouring concrete pads.
- Beam Profiles & Assembly: Accommodates S-profile and L-profile windproof round or elliptical aluminium modular beams fitted with bottom rubber impact cushions. Two beam sections join seamlessly using an internal connecting joint to span roadways up to 8 m net clearance (8.3 m total beam reach).
- Electronic Control & Connectivity: The barrier is governed by the upper-mounted E680 microprocessor control board housed within a transparent protective enclosure on a pre-installed DIN rail. The board includes two integrated vehicle loop detectors and dedicated plug-in communication connectors for GSM, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi modules.
- Accessory Interfacing: Compatible with mechanical barrier options such as anti-panic manual release mechanisms, hydraulic anti-vandalism bypass valves, pivoting break-out pockets, 2 m and 3 m bottom skirt kits, and articulated end support feet.
- Emergency Power Backup: Supports the plug-in FAAC XBAT 24 emergency module equipped with an integrated charger and Nickel-Metal Hydride backup batteries (they are not included) to keep the barrier operational during primary power interruptions.
