The FAAC 116100 Bollard Pit JP275/600 V2 is the dedicated installation base designed for use with the FAAC J275 HA V2-600 retractable traffic bollard. This robust pit and counter-frame system ensures accurate alignment, secure anchoring, and proper drainage for optimal performance of the bollard. When combined, the bollard-plus-pit assembly delivers reliable operation in intensive traffic conditions, with built-in safety features such as emergency lowering (in power cut or via manual release), a flashing LED ring, audible buzzer during movement, and a durable finish designed to resist environmental stress. The steel pit is engineered to fit the 275 mm diameter cylinder, providing the structural support necessary for both standard painted steel and stainless-steel bollard versions.
Excavation: Dig foundation to the dimensions specified by FAAC for the JP275/600 pit. Ensure base is level, compact, and allows drainage.
Pit Preparation: Place the counter-frame and pit (JP275/600 V2) into the excavation. Ensure that the pit is plumb (vertically aligned) and level on all sides. Proper anchoring / concrete embedment might be required per local code or FAAC instructions.
Service / Wiring Access: Before fully embedding, ensure access for power lines, control board (if required), emergency lowering mechanism, and any heater or LED ring wiring as needed.
Install Bollard Cylinder: Once pit and counter-frame are properly set, insert the bollard cylinder (J275 HA V2 600) into the pit, making sure it engages with the support frame/counter-frame securely.
Final Adjustments & Finishing: Adjust leveling, alignment; fill around the pit with concrete or suitable bedding; connect all electrical/hydraulic connections; ensure sealing and that the pit area drains properly to avoid water accumulation.
Testing: Test raising, lowering, emergency lowering (manual / in power loss); confirm flashing LED ring, audible buzzer function; check descent times; ensure bollard moves freely without obstruction.
Emergency lowering is provided (via manual release or hydraulic / mechanical release in case of power cut).
Bollard and pit materials are treated (cataphoresis + powder coat; optional stainless steel) for corrosion protection.
Protection rating IP67 helps resist ingress of dust and water.
Warranty periods: FAAC typically offers manufacturer’s warranty (check region) for defects in materials and workmanship.
Operating temperature range (standard and with heater) ensures proper performance in cold climates if heater option is included.
Be sure foundation pit is well drained to avoid water damage or hydraulic problems.
Use the heater accessory if installation region sees permanent or frequent sub-freezing temperatures.
Ensure regular maintenance: clean pit area, verify seals, inspect for debris that could impede bollard movement.
For safety and compliance, integrate bollard control board (JE-series) and safety detection systems (sensors, loop detectors) as needed.
Order pit and bollard together to ensure compatibilities; verify all parts (pit cover, pit base, counter-frame) are included.
