Octagonal Lighted Signal Arm

LIGHT THE WAY FOR CUSTOMERS TO EXIT EASILY AND SAFELY WITH SIGNALS AND SENSORS

The DKS Octagonal Lighted Signal Arm is the newest option for DoorKing’s 1601 & 1602 Barrier Gate Operator. While lowered the aluminum Arm is lit with red LEDs sending a clear signal for drivers to stop. When raised the LEDs transition to green — easily alerting drivers when to pull forward.

DKS Pedestrian Protection System

In today’s busy world, people often forget to pay attention to their surroundings and can inadvertently place themselves in harm’s way. DKS Barrier Gate Operators offer a Pedestrian Detection & Protection System that knows when to allow the Barrier Arm to come down – or not. Protect the integrity of the parking facility and prevent those inadvertent accidents from happening. After all, you have better things to do than deal with liability problems.

WARN Beeper / Operate Beeper

Beeper will beep 2 times before lowering arm ONLY when the TIMER times out. If using a down loop, when it gets activated, it will cancel the timer and lower arm WITHOUT beeping.
Beeper will beep 2 times before lowering arm EVERYTIME.
