Hikvision Barrier Gate DS-K3B220LX-R

The Hikvision DS-K3B220LX-R is a vehicle barrier gate from the K3B220 series — the motorised housing that sits at the edge of a lane and raises and lowers a boom across it. It is the part of an entrance that vehicles physically meet. Speed4Trading also stocks the DS-K3B220LX-M and DS-K3B220LX-L; the suffixes distinguish variants within the same family, and the right one for your lane is confirmed against the site drawing before the order goes in — call 16454.

Two things first. A barrier is a component, not a scheme: alone it does nothing. Something has to tell it when to open — a reader, an access controller, an ANPR camera reading plates, an intercom, or a guard with a transmitter. And the expensive mistakes on a barrier job are almost never electronic. They are civil.

Where it earns its place on a job

A barrier earns its place where you meter vehicles rather than stop them — compound entrances, mall and office-tower car parks, factory truck gates, staff and visitor lanes side by side. It is chosen by traffic volume and lane width, not by a feature list. A staff gate cycling forty times a day and a mall exit cycling two thousand times a day are different specifications of the same product, and the second is where duty cycle stops being a datasheet line and starts being a warranty claim.

It is not an anti-ram barrier. A boom stops a driver who intends to stop; it does not stop a determined vehicle. If the brief is hostile-vehicle mitigation, this is the wrong product category and we will say so.

Before you order — three things to confirm

• Lane width and boom length. Measure the clear opening where the boom will actually sit, not the gate opening on the architect’s plan — kerbs, islands and booths move it. Variants in this family differ; confirm the correct one and the boom length against the site drawing on 16454.
• The civil work, booked before delivery. A concrete foundation pad, conduit from the housing to the controller and the loop-detector positions, and a mains run to the lane. That is builder’s work with a lead time. Barriers sit in their crates for weeks because nobody booked the foundation — book it as a construction item, not an accessory.
• Trigger and power-failure behaviour. Decide what opens it — reader, controller, ANPR camera, intercom or guard — and what must happen in a power cut: boom held down, released to manual, or a UPS keeping the lane live. In Egypt that is a design decision, not an edge case, and it changes what you order with the barrier.

Compatibility

The barrier is driven by whatever you put in front of it — typically a Hikvision access controller, a lane reader, or an ANPR camera for plate-based entry, plus loop detectors in the road surface for vehicle presence and anti-crush. Exact interface, contact ratings and the clean controller pairing for this variant are confirmed before order — call 16454.

What’s in the box

• 1 × Hikvision DS-K3B220LX-R barrier gate housing
• Manufacturer documentation as supplied

The boom arm, loop detectors, foundation bolts, readers and controllers are not assumed to be included — each is confirmed on the order, so nothing arrives on site half-complete.

Common questions on this model

Which variant do I need — R, M or L?
They differ within the same K3B220 family, and we do not guess it from a model code. Send the site drawing or lane dimensions to 16454 and we confirm the variant and boom length in writing before the order.

Does it come with the boom arm?
Treat the boom as a separate line to confirm on the order, with loop detectors and foundation fixings. That is how it should be quoted anyway, because the boom is sized to the lane.

What opens it?
Anything you specify — controller and reader, ANPR camera, intercom, or a guard’s transmitter. The barrier is the actuator; the decision to open belongs to the system around it. Tell us the trigger and we quote the parts that make it work.
