PEDESTAL PRO
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about PEDESTAL PRO from 3G Electric.
What materials and finishes are available for Pedestal Pro gate operator pedestals?
Pedestal Pro pedestals are offered in carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Carbon steel models typically have a black powder-coated finish for corrosion resistance, such as the 42-TT and HD-100. Stainless steel models, like the ADA-SS-TWR-47X4X4, come in a polished silver finish. Aluminum models, such as the HD-DK-ALUM-BLK, are also powder-coated black. The choice of material affects durability and appearance, with stainless steel providing higher corrosion resistance for harsh environments. All models are designed for outdoor use and include mounting hardware.
What is the difference between the Pedestal Pro 42-TT and the 42-2LP?
The Pedestal Pro 42-TT is a dual head pedestal with a 10 in x 12 in base, designed to mount two card readers or similar devices. It has a 42-inch overall height and a black powder-coated carbon steel construction. The 42-2LP is a low-profile pedestal with a 4 in x 5 in footprint, also 42 inches tall, intended for mounting a single card reader. Both include carriage bolt hardware. The 42-TT offers a larger base and dual mounting capability, while the 42-2LP is more compact for single-device installations.
Can Pedestal Pro pedestals be used with telephone entry systems?
Yes, several Pedestal Pro models are suitable for telephone entry systems. The HD-DK-ALUM-BLK is a black powder-coated aluminum pedestal with an overall height of 52 3/4 inches and an 8 in x 12 in base, designed for gate operators and telephone entry systems. Other models, such as the 48-9C gooseneck pedestal, are specifically for intercoms but can also accommodate telephone entry devices depending on mounting requirements. It is important to verify the mounting pattern of the telephone entry unit matches the pedestal's provisions.
What hardware is included with Pedestal Pro pedestals?
Most Pedestal Pro pedestals include carriage bolt hardware for secure installation. For example, the 42-TT, 48-9C, HD-DK-ALUM-BLK, 72-9C-DSP, HD-100, 42-2LP, and 42-3-12 all come with carriage bolts. The ADA-SS-TWR-47X4X4 stainless steel pedestal also includes mounting hardware. This hardware is intended for anchoring the pedestal to a concrete or stable surface. Additional anchoring materials may be required depending on the substrate and local codes. Always refer to the installation instructions for specific requirements.
What is the tallest Pedestal Pro pedestal available?
Among the models listed, the Pedestal Pro Dual Height Truck Pedestal (MPN 72-9C-DSP) has the tallest overall height at 74 inches. It is designed for truck access applications where a higher mounting point is needed for card readers or intercoms. It features a 12 in x 8 in housing and is constructed from black powder-coated carbon steel. Other tall models include the 48-9C gooseneck pedestal at 50 inches and the HD-DK-ALUM-BLK at 52 3/4 inches. The appropriate height depends on the vehicle types and reach requirements.
Are Pedestal Pro pedestals suitable for ADA compliance?
Pedestal Pro offers models that can help meet ADA reach range requirements when properly installed. For example, the ADA-SS-TWR-47X4X4 is a 47-inch stainless steel pedestal designed for card readers, which may facilitate compliance with ADA reach ranges for access control devices. However, compliance depends on the specific installation, including the mounting height of the device and the approach. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure the final installation meets all applicable ADA and local accessibility codes. Consult the ADA guidelines for exact reach range specifications.
