FAAC 620 Standard

The FAAC 620 Standard Automatic Barrier is a professional 230 V hydraulic vehicle-access barrier designed for car parks, residential communities, corporate premises, hotels and commercial entrances with heavy but not continuous traffic. It supports boom lengths of approximately 4–5 m, depending on the selected rectangular, round, illuminated, skirted or articulated configuration, and opens through 90° in about 3.5–4.5 seconds. FAAC specifies a 70% use frequency, 220–240 VAC 50/60 Hz supply, single-phase asynchronous motor and maximum power of around 220 W. Key features include patented electronic deceleration, barrier-status signalling for traffic-management devices, two integrated detector channels and 11 preset operating logics. The 620 Standard is also available with articulated booms for height-restricted entrances, round pivoting booms, lighting and skirt options, giving the system flexibility for different parking and access-control layouts. The related FAAC 620 Rapid uses the same established hydraulic platform but is optimized for applications where fast opening and intensive traffic handling are required. It supports boom lengths up to approximately 3–3.8 m, with a typical 90° opening time of around 2 seconds for a 3 m boom and 3 seconds for a longer configuration, and FAAC rates it for 100% use frequency. The Rapid model uses a 220–240 VAC single-phase asynchronous motor, approximately 220 W maximum power, hydraulic anti-crushing safety, electronically adjustable deceleration through cams, IP44 protection, and an operating range of approximately -20°C to +55°C. Its incorporated 624BLD control unit supports integration with photocells, flashing lights, key switches, radio receivers and other FAAC accessories. In practical terms, the 620 Standard is suited to heavy but intermittent vehicle flow and longer booms, while the 620 Rapid is intended for shorter lanes where faster, continuous operation is the priority. As a FAAC system integrator serving the UAE, VEGA Digital IT Solutions LLC can provide complete installation of the 620 Standard and 620 Rapid, starting with site survey, lane-width and traffic-frequency assessment, selection of left- or right-hand configuration and the correct boom type. Installation can include reinforced concrete foundation preparation, foundation plate and cabinet anchoring, 230 V mains supply, low-voltage control cabling, boom mounting and balancing, XP30 photocells, XLED flashing lights, key selectors, radio receivers and loop detectors. VEGA Digital can further integrate the barrier with ANPR/LPR cameras, UHF/RFID vehicle readers, intercoms, access-control systems, visitor-management platforms and parking-management software. Final commissioning can cover detector calibration, opening/closing and electronic deceleration adjustment, anti-crushing safety tests, traffic-control logic, remote-control programming, manual/emergency operation and end-user training, providing a complete FAAC vehicle-access solution for residential compounds, offices, hotels, commercial car parks and industrial sites throughout Dubai and the wider UAE.
