DORVARN · Technical Centre

Reference data, evidence boundaries and project inputs for access and perimeter systems.

The DORVARN Technical Centre separates useful feasibility data from configuration-specific claims. Current documented values can guide early planning; final model, duty, safety, electrical, network and destination requirements are verified before order.

Complete access architecture

One site, several control layers.

The illustration shows how DORVARN hardware can be coordinated across the same entrance. It is a system-planning visual, not a claim that every project requires every component.
Illustrated DORVARN access architecture showing vehicle sensing, barriers, bollards, gate automation, pedestrian access and connected controls
01Approach sensing

Vehicle presence and direction inputs begin before the controlled line.

02Credential decision

RFID, QR, keypad, reception release or other authorised access logic determines entry.

03Physical control

Barrier, bollard, chain barrier or automated gate manages the vehicle path.

04Pedestrian control

Turnstiles or controlled pedestrian entrances are coordinated separately from vehicle movement.

05Connected management

Remote administration, event visibility and diagnostics can sit above the local control layer where required.

06Local safety + commissioning

Photocells, safety edges, emergency release, force settings and final behaviour are validated at the installed site.

Concept visual. Exact hardware, lane geometry, sensor position, cable routes, foundations, drainage and safety devices are determined from the live project.

Current evidence snapshot

Reference values already documented for the first DORVARN platform.

These values are useful for early feasibility. They are deliberately tied to the current reference families rather than presented as universal DORVARN performance.
01Barrier boom pathways4 · 6 · 8 m

Current documented automatic-barrier family.

02Barrier opening5 · 5 · 8 s

Current 4 m / 6 m / 8 m reference configurations.

03Chain supplied8 m

Current automatic-chain reference kit.

04Chain max weight20 kg

Current documented technical reference.

05Bollard family400 · 600 · 800 mm

Current automatic and fixed height family.

06Bollard diameterØ204 mm

Current documented reference family.

07Wireless sensorIP68 · 40 t

Current road-sensor protection and static-load reference.

08Wireless receiverUp to 8 sensors

Current multi-channel receiver reference.

Final configuration, commercial availability, applicable certification, and the current image/CAD package are confirmed for the selected project before quotation.

DORVARN · project evidence

Match the evidence to the exact access point, equipment and destination.

An access project can combine structural/civil work, automation, sensing, credentials, power and network services. The release pack should make those interfaces explicit rather than treating the product as a standalone box.

01

Exact product identity

Confirm: Selected barrier, bollard, gate operator, detector, reader/controller and every required accessory.

Boundary: Do not blend dimensions, loads, IP ratings or duty values across different models.

02

Opening + movement geometry

Confirm: Clear opening, boom/gate travel, hinge or track arrangement, islands, kerbs, bollard line and pedestrian interfaces.

Boundary: Nominal opening width alone is not enough to select the complete system.

03

Operating duty

Confirm: Expected daily cycles, peak traffic, queue conditions, opening speed requirements and vehicle mix.

Boundary: A published working-frequency value is not a blanket guarantee for every operating pattern.

04

Safety architecture

Confirm: Photocells, safety edges, presence detection, warning devices, emergency/manual release and closing logic.

Boundary: Wireless vehicle detection is not represented as a standalone safety device.

05

Civil + drainage

Confirm: Foundations, bollard pits, chain gutter/recess, drainage, conduits, finished levels and maintenance access.

Boundary: Automatic bollards and recessed systems can fail if water management is not resolved locally.

06

Electrical + backup

Confirm: Supply voltage/frequency, local isolators, cable routes, earthing, batteries and power-failure behaviour.

Boundary: Local electrical work and certification remain destination-specific unless expressly included.

07

Credentials + administration

Confirm: RFID, QR, keypad, visitor access, user groups, permissions, administrator responsibilities and credential lifecycle.

Boundary: The access-control operating model should be fixed before final controller selection.

08

Connectivity + data

Confirm: Network/mobile availability, remote management needs, service plan, event data, privacy and cybersecurity responsibilities.

Boundary: Cloud, SIM or portal services may carry recurring costs and are not assumed to be subscription-free.

09

Environment

Confirm: Temperature, rain, salt/coastal exposure, wind on gate leaves/booms, heavy vehicles and any snow/ice considerations.

Boundary: Published enclosure ratings do not remove the need for site-specific environmental review.

10

Handover + support

Confirm: Installation manuals, commissioning records, maintenance intervals, spare parts, warranty and operator training.

Boundary: Supply-only scope does not automatically include installation, commissioning or ongoing site servicing.

Security-rated or hostile-vehicle mitigation claims require separate impact-test evidence for the exact bollard/barrier product. The current DORVARN traffic-control family must not be represented as crash-rated by default.

Project pathways

Use the technical centre alongside the exact product pathway.

Project priorities

Three rules keep the specification credible.

01

Exact-model evidence

Use only values tied to the selected product and current technical document revision.

02

System-level safety

Treat detection, photocells, safety edges, controls and emergency behaviour as a coordinated safety architecture.

03

Local interfaces

Foundations, drainage, electrical work, networks, commissioning and local approvals must have named responsibilities.

How Apollo fits

Move from reference data to a releasable project pack.

The Technical Centre is a planning and evidence-control resource. It does not approve local engineering, certify an installation or replace destination-specific regulatory review.

01

Capture the brief

Destination, access point, dimensions, movement, duty, credentials, environment and site constraints establish the selection basis.

02

Lock the exact system

Confirm current models, accessories, control architecture and available documentation.

03

Release evidence with quotation

Attach the applicable technical data, drawings, certifications, exclusions and local-responsibility schedule to the quoted configuration.

Evidence boundary

Duty cycle, impact/security performance, safety devices, electrical configuration, networking, foundations and access-control integration are exact-model and project requirements. Apollo does not infer one product family's performance across another.

REFERENCE SOURCES

Product evidence remains configuration-controlled.

No unrelated external standard is added merely to increase citation count. Apollo uses the current controlled product evidence for this owner and keeps exact project documents authoritative for the supplied configuration.
