The Estates of Northpark Gate Operating System is a state of the art system designed to provide the residents the security of a gated community. The equipment is contracted from and serviced by one contractor. It includes a digital phone entry system, access control for resident vehicles, a new lift arm gate for the entrance, and new swing gate operators for the entrance and exit gates.
The new lift arm gate in the single entrance lane is used to control traffic flow and protect the swing gate. This lift arm system is designed to prevent tailgating. Leave proper space (one car length minimum) between cars. TAILGATING through the in gate is prohibited and attempting to tailgate could result in damage to your vehicle.
The entrance lane has an Amtech active tag reader system that operates the lift arm and the swing gate if the active system tag mounted on the resident’s vehicle is recognized.
As a resident drives into the subdivision, they will be instructed by signage to merge left. Residents should slow down, and be prepared to stop. If the resident’s vehicle has a system tag and the gate entrance is clear of other traffic, they may not have to come to a complete stop. If the resident does not have a system tag, then they can open the gate after stopping at the digital phone access panel and pressing the KEY symbol first then entering their unique 6-digit access code.
A visitor to the subdivision will need to stop at the digital phone access control panel. Once in front of the panel, they will scroll through a digital alphabetically displayed resident list. Scrolling is rapid if either scroll button is held down. Finding the resident on the list, the guest must then dial the unique 3-digit code assigned to that resident. The resident’s phone will ring and the guest is able to speak to the resident. The resident then has the choice of allowing entry by pressing “9” or denying entry by simply hanging up.
A patented voice guided HELP feature adds the convenience of an audio explanation for visitors and new users. This feature guides the user on key codes and dialing in a more personal manner. The built-in keypad is lighted for optimal visibility at night or low light periods.
Safety loops for all controlled gates are installed in the roadway surface and photo electric beams mounted on the swing gate and traffic arm are designed to prevent both from closing accidentally on a vehicle. An Emergency Vehicle Release Box and a Siren Operated Sensor are designed to override all normal operations and allow emergency responders to enter the neighborhood. The out gate is controlled by a safety loop to allow anyone to exit.
In case of a power outage, the gates and lift arm are designed with a battery back-up power supply. The gates will open automatically and not close until power is restored.
The gate times are:
Weekdays: {Open} 5:30 AM {Closed} 6:30 PM
Weekends: {Open} 9:00 AM {Closed} 5:00 PM
Newspaper delivery and other services have their own unique 4-digit utility code.
