Barriers
Barriers as access control for your entrance
Barriers from SOMMER
The rugged barriers from SOMMER protect entrances, employee and hotel parking, car parks and underground garages against unauthorised access or exit. Their intelligent control unit offers a wide range of connection options for safety accessories.
We offer automatic barriers made from aluminium or steel as well as booms with and without LED lighting for private and commercial applications.
Product advantages
Robust and versatile
SOMMER has an attractive complete solution where entrances or parking spaces need to be secured against unauthorised entry: Our barriers are extremely reliable and need very little maintenance.
Economic installation
Thanks to Plug & Go, installation consists only of set-up and connection.
Convenience
As we can supply both left- and right-closing booms, here, too, no adaptation is necessary during installation.
Flexible adjustment
The boom can be shortened on-site to the exact dimensions. This allows for customised production directly at the construction site.
Connections for safety accessories
All connections for safety-relevant accessories are already present.
Safety due to obstacle detection
The operating forces of the barriers are certified to EN 12453. The automatic obstacle detection provides additional safety. The boom opens automatically reverses if an obstacle is encountered; this ensures that vehicles will not be trapped.
Emergency release in the event of power failure
In the event of a power failure, the mechanical emergency release can be activated to open or close the barrier. Alternatively, emergency operation via a battery pack is possible.
Intelligent control technology
In addition, features and parameters can be configured via smartphone, tablet or laptop with the SOMlink S2 service interface for specialist retailers.
One control unit, a wide range of connection options
The range of functions of the barriers can be expanded as required with a wide range of connection options and accessories.
Pluggable, colour-coded connecting terminals allow convenient and reliable connection (cannot be interchanged). Photocells and other safety devices are automatically recognised by the control unit. LEDs on the inputs and outputs display the connection statuses visually.

Additional equipment
With our additional equipment, you can generate your own optional added value. The modular system design enables you to expand the SOMMER door operator with numerous accessories according to the "plug and play" principle. All accessories can be easily assembled, as the slots are color-coded and labeled exactly.
HomeLink radio receiver module
With the HomeLink radio receiver, the operator can be upgraded to the HomeLink radio control system. The operator can then be controlled with a HomeLink transmitter integrated in the vehicle.
Emergency power supply
Battery pack
In the event of a power failure, the battery pack supplies energy to the gate operator for up to 12 hours with a maximum of 10 gate cycles (OPEN/CLOSE). The battery pack is automatically recharged during normal operation.
Open-Collector
Output OC
Transfers the door status (open/closed) to Smart Home systems. Optionally, a further external lighting unit can be operated.
LED traffic light red
For optical two-way traffic control of your gate system. Offers durability for more than 30,000 hours and is well-suited for both outdoor and indoor use. Can also be combined as a red-green traffic light.
LED traffic light green
For optical two-way traffic control of your gate system. Offers durability for more than 30,000 hours and is well-suited for both outdoor and indoor use. Can also be combined as a red-green traffic light.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions and answers
The installation and operating manual for the barriers can be downloaded from the download portal.
With optional accessories, the intelligent barriers can be controlled from a smartphone, tablet or PC. In order to operate the barriers via Smart Home, you need the SOMweb Smart Home solution.
Barriers can only be operated with a connected photocell.
With the optional HomeLink radio receiver module, the barriers are compatible with HomeLink.
In addition to the induction loop, you need an induction loop detector. The induction loop is connected to the induction loop detector. The potential-free output of the induction loop detector is connected to terminal block Induc. 1 (object protection) or Induc. 2 (to open the barrier).
If the boom 500 LED is to light up permanently red or green, it can be connected directly to the 12 V terminal block of the barrier control system. No further equipment is required.
If you want to realise a traffic-light function with the boom, you will need the optionally available Relay (see additional equipment).
The traffic-light function ensures that the boom lights up red as long as the barrier is closed, so that there is no authorisation for drive-through. The LED lighting also lights up during opening and closing of the barrier.
When the barrier is fully open, the optionally available Relay switches the lighting to green, signalling that a vehicle can now drive through.
The optional ‘Relay’ is required for a traffic-light function.
You need to ensure that the potential of the two barriers does not overlap. To do this, an isolating relay must be provided on-site.
No, the effective opening width of the boom is the boom length minus 30 cm.
A floating support or support post is required from a boom length of 4 m.
The installation and operating manual contains details of faults which may occur on the barrier system, their causes and how to remedy them.

A barrier is a structural element used to block a road or path. The barrier comprises a movable boom and a fixed barrier body. The boom extends across the road or path, preventing access or exit.
The barrier rises when access is granted and can be set to lower automatically after a predetermined time. The automatic obstacle detection provides additional safety during closing. The boom opens automatically reverses if an obstacle is encountered; this ensures that vehicles will not be trapped.
Barrier systems can be controlled via radio, Smart Home or other access systems.
