FAAC J355 HA M50 Control Architecture, Accessory & Structural Compatibility

The FAAC J355 HA M50 automatic retractable hydraulic bollard (FAAC part number 116351 / KT Automation reference KTI02002J355M50) is an engineered perimeter defense system designed to operate within dedicated hydraulic, electronic, and civil foundation architectures. System integrators and project engineers must match the unit with manufacturer-specified control boards, civil containment structures, and system accessories to guarantee full PAS 68:2013 and IWA 14-1:2013 crash-rated performance.

Electronic Control Unit & Multi-Unit Synchronization

Primary logic and operational drive execution require the dedicated FAAC JE275 electronic control board (FAAC part number 116300). The JE275 control board is specifically engineered to manage a single J355 HA bollard drive unit, ensuring accurate monitoring of cycle timings, travel limit positions, and integrated perimeter LED illumination circuits.

For multi-bollard vehicular checkpoints, security gates, and wide-span roadway protection, multiple JE275 boards can be interconnected in a coordinated Master/Slave configuration. This linkage enables synchronized multi-bollard simultaneous rising and lowering commands across dual, triple, or multi-lane configurations without hydraulic pressure divergence.

Mains Electrical & Power Infrastructure Matching

The integrated hydraulic drive of the J355 HA M50 operates from a single-phase AC supply line. Facility power distribution panels must be specified to provide 220–240 V AC at 50/60 Hz with wiring cross-sections and circuit breaker ratings sufficient to support the 3,900 W (3.9 kW) peak power draw during full hydraulic actuation.

Civil Foundation Pit & Structural Integration

The bollard body assembly (approximate dry weight 850 kg) mounts directly into the dedicated FAAC J355 foundation pit (FAAC part number 116130, weight approximately 235 kg). Complete site excavation dimensions require a trench measuring approximately 3,100 mm in length, 1,600 mm in width, and 1,850 mm in depth to accommodate the reinforcement steel rebar cage and structural concrete pour necessary to withstand the 1,852,000 Joules of absorbed impact energy.

Because the high-performance hydraulic pump unit (IP67 ingress protection rating) is integrated internally inside the bollard assembly, the system eliminates the need for external underground pressurized oil piping runs, simplifying civil conduit design to power, signal, and drainage feeds.

Factory-Engineered Ancillary Options & Accessories

The J355 HA M50 integrates seamlessly with original FAAC system accessories designed for extreme environments and rapid emergency procedures:

• Emergency Fast Operation (EFO) Circuit: Compatible with the optional FAAC EFO hydraulic auxiliary assembly, which decreases standard deployment rise time from ~6 seconds down to approximately 2 seconds for active threat interdiction.
• Manual Release Kit (FAAC Part 116102): Dedicated J355 mechanical release hardware that enables controlled manual cylinder descent during total power outages or emergency maintenance.
• Pit Heater JH275/J355 (FAAC Part 116203): Low-temperature heating module that expands the operational ambient temperature range from standard (-15 °C to +55 °C) down to extreme sub-zero thresholds (-40 °C to +55 °C).
• Hydraulic Fluid & Internal Maintenance Parts: Engineered strictly for use with genuine FAAC HP hydraulic oil (7-liter system capacity), and compatible with factory FAAC limit switch regulation assemblies (MX50-30BB), factory capacitors, guide carriages, and end-stop buffers.
