SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For the detection of vehicles, we recommend installing
Inductive Loop Detectors in preference to infrared beams. When
installing the Loop detectors, positioning is very important for the safety
of the vehicle
• X refers to the distance required between the loops and CLAWS for
free-exit
• Free-exit for uni-directional traffi c, X must be greater than 500mm
from the CLAWS
• For bi-directional traffi c, X must also be greater than 500mm from
the CLAWS

CLAWS
CLAWS barrier spikes are designed to enhance the security at the entrance to
high-volume sites. They provide a formidable deterrent to would-be criminals and due to
their robust construction they are very diffi cult to defeat.
Clever modular design allows the CLAWS to be ordered ex-stock and can be confi gured
into a variety of diff erent lengths. The orientation of the spikes can also be easily
changed depending on the direction of the traffi c fl ow. Their external limit switches allow
for safe operation of the system.
CLAWS are easy to install and use a standard SECTOR II controller and a standard
SECTOR II gearbox, saving you time and reducing your spares inventory.
They boast all-weather construction and have been designed to allow for all moving parts
to be removed easily for quick and easy maintenance.
CLAWS also provide onboard support for a traffi c light interface, and the Independent
Drive CLAWS models have variable speed control and multiple Modes of Operation.
The CLAWS Direct Drive system utilises the SECTOR II traffi c barrier’s drive mechanism.
It is available in both Flush Mount and Surface Mount variants.
The Flush Mount models are ideal for installations that require seamless access control
for smooth-fl owing traffi c, whereas the Surface Mount models are mounted above the
general surface of the roadway and create a traffi c-calming bump for a safer access
control point.

4. Tools Required
This document describes the basic steps to follow when installing the surface-mountable
CLAWS Spikes driven directly from a SECTOR II Barrier by a “push -pull” linkage
system. The installation described in this document is a 2.5 meter installation. For other
installations, modules of 1.5 or 1.0 meters can be used to achieve diff erent widths.
The installation of the CLAWS Spikes requires a minimum of two persons.
5.1. Installation Confi gurations
The surface-mountable CLAWS Spikes can be installed in four diff erent confi gurations.
The confi guration is dependent on two factors:
• Orientation of installation
• Direction of spike impact
FIGURE 2. RHS CONFIGURATION
FIGURE 3. LHS CONFIGURATION
5.1.1.
Orientation of Installation
The orientation of installation is described as the side at which the drive linkage is
installed when approaching the CLAWS Spikes. In other words, when driving up to the
CLAWS Spikes, in the correct direction for traffi c fl ow, and the drive is installed on the
right-hand side of the vehicle, it’s deemed a right-hand installation. And when driving up
to the CLAWS Spikes, in the correct direction for traffi c fl ow, and the drive is installed on
the left-hand side of the vehicle, it’s deemed a left-hand installation.
5. Introduction
INTRODUCTION
SECTION 5
Spike Impact Direction
The CLAWS Spikes are designed to take a much larger or more frequent impact in one
direction. The spikes can be installed to face either towards oncoming traffi c (similar) or
face towards traffi c (opposing) trying to enter from the wrong direction or lane.
There are four types of typical installations. Refer to Section 5, Figures 2 and 3 to
determine if the installation is left- or right-hand orientated.
Secondly; pay attention to the spike impact direction:
• Similar direction of travel prevents vehicles from exiting whilst the boom pole is
still down (Normal direction of traffi c)
• Opposing direction of travel prevents vehicles entering against the fl ow of traffi c
whilst the boom pole is down

Once assembled with the long drive arm, the layout should look as shown in
Section 6, Figure 21.
1. The drive arm must point towards the longer side of the drive linkage assembly (1.5x)
2. The notch must be at the bottom of the shaft (6 o’clock)
3. The bolt head must face the bottom and the nut on top
4. The angle of the bolt and nut must be as shown (11 o’clock)
STEP 11
Replace the bearing housing bolts once everything is in the correct orientation.

It is crucial that the surface it’s mounted on is a reasonably even surface
as an uneven surface could result in an uneven binding of the spike
shafts. This will result in premature failure.

6.2.4. Assembling the shaft couplings
The coupler is used to connect and align the shafts together.
It is essential that the coupler is assembled correctly; failing to do so will result
in slipping of the spikes which is undesirable.

It is imperative that the drive linkage cover plate is placed correctly.
Make sure that there is clearance for the drive arm to swing through. If this
plate is assembled back-to-front the drive arm won’t swing through and you will
need to turn the plate around (Refer back to Section 6, Figure 22).

Take notice of the slot orientation in the trench cover plates before it is placed
back into position. The spike must rest on the straight edge of the slot when it is
in its upright position.

It is imperative that the drive linkage cover plate is placed correctly.
Make sure that there is clearance for the drive arm to swing through. If this
plate is assembled back-to-front the drive arm won’t swing through and you will
need to turn the plate around (Refer back top Section 9, Figure 13).

SECTION 11
11. Tools Required
This document describes the basic steps to follow when installing the fl ush-mountable
CLAWS Spikes driven directly from a SECTOR II Barrier by a “push-pull” linkage system.
The installation described in this document is a 2.5 meter installation which utilises
modules of 1.5 and 1.0 meters.
The installation of the CLAWS Spikes requires a minimum of two persons.
12.1. Installation Confi gurations
The fl ush-mountable CLAWS Spikes can be installed in four diff erent confi gurations.
The confi guration is dependent on two factors:
• Orientation of installation
• Direction of spike impact
FIGURE 2. RHS CONFIGURATION
FIGURE 3. LHS CONFIGURATION
12.1.1. Orientation of Installation
The orientation of installation is described as the side at which the drive linkage is
installed when approaching the CLAWS Spikes. In other words, when driving up to the
CLAWS Spikes, in the correct direction for traffi c fl ow, and the drive is installed on the
right-hand side of the vehicle, it’s deemed a right-hand installation. And when driving up
to the CLAWS Spikes, in the correct direction for traffi c fl ow, and the drive is installed on
the left-hand side of the vehicle, it’s deemed a left-hand installation.
INTRODUCTION
SECTION 12
12. Introduction
12.1.2. Spike Impact Direction
The CLAWS Spikes are designed to take a much larger impact in one direction. Thus, the
CLAWS Spikes can be installed to take larger or more frequent impact in one direction.
In other words the spikes can be installed to face either towards oncoming traffi c
(similar) or face towards traffi c (opposing) trying to enter from the wrong direction
or lane.
There are four types of typical installations. Refer to Section 12, Figures 2 and 3 to
determine if the installation is left- or right-hand orientated.
Secondly; pay attention to the spike impact direction:
• Similar direction of travel prevents vehicles from exiting whilst the boom pole is
still down (Normal direction of traffi c)
• Opposing direction of travel prevents vehicles entering against the fl ow of traffi c
whilst the boom pole is down

Once assembled with the long drive arm, the format should look as shown in Section 13,
Figure 19.
1. The drive arm must point as is shown in Section 13, Figure 19
2. The notch must be at the bottom of the shaft (6 o’clock)
3. The bolt head must face the bottom and the nut on top
4. The angle of the bolt and nut must be as shown (11 o’clock)
STEP 9
Replace the bearing housing bolts once everything is in the correct orientation.

13.2.3. Assembling the shaft couplings
The coupler is used to connect and align the shafts together.
It is essential that the coupler is assembled correctly; failing to do so will result
in slipping of the spikes which is undesirable.
Place the spikes into the down position (and the drive arm pointing upwards)
to aid in the fi tment of all the shaft couplings.
