Overview of the GIOTTO BT A ULTRA 36 Automated Barrier
The GIOTTO BT A ULTRA 36 automated barrier is a premium boom barrier system from BFT Italy, officially distributed and installed in Vietnam by Sonha Auto. This model features a 24V DC motor that ensures smooth, stable, and safe operation, making it ideal for controlling vehicle access at office buildings, industrial zones, toll stations, and smart parking facilities.
With an opening time of just 4 seconds, an arm length of up to 6 meters, and a modern RAL 7015 grey housing, the GIOTTO BT A ULTRA 36 delivers excellent performance, modern aesthetics, and long-lasting durability.
Outstanding improvements compared to the previous generation GIOTTO BT A 30S/60S
- Faster operation: Opening time of only 2.2 seconds (standard version) compared to 2.5 seconds (GIOTTO 30) — ensuring smooth, continuous traffic flow even during peak hours while maintaining complete safety.
- Longer boom arm: Standard version: 2–4 m (compared to 3 m on the GIOTTO 30);
XL version: 4.5–6 m for wider entrances.
- New compact gearbox: Fully metallic internal components for enhanced durability and efficiency.
- Upgraded design: Barrier body adopts the style of MAXIMA ULTRA 36, but in a more compact size.
- New boom arm options: Available with ES boom or PS boom, the same used in MAXIMA ULTRA 36, providing improved rigidity and consistent design.
- Smart LED lighting: Equipped with dual-color Red/Green LED strips on the boom arm (similar to MAXIMA ULTRA 36), enhancing visibility, rigidity, and synchronization with other high-end BFT barriers.
- High operating frequency: Up to 5,000 cycles/24h (3m boom) and 2,000 cycles/24h (6m boom), suitable for high-traffic areas.
- Exceptional reliability: MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): 3,000,000 cycles, ensuring long-term stable performance.
- Safety with anti-collision Encoder technology: The intelligent Encoder system detects obstacles and automatically stops or reverses movement to prevent collisions, protecting both people and vehicles while extending the barrier’s service life.
- Manual operation in power outages: In emergencies, the barrier can be manually unlocked with a mechanical key, ensuring continuous operation under all circumstances.
- Low-voltage 24V technology – Safe and stable: The 24V low-voltage motor provides electrical safety and smooth operation even under harsh weather conditions. The control system supports precise deceleration at both ends of the travel path, allowing the boom to move gently without jerking or vibration.
Technologies
- The enhanced communication protocol improves integration and connectivity with smart building management systems — including access control, lighting, air conditioning, alarm, and fire detection systems. In particular, Bluetooth technology ensures system stability and high data security through a dual-layer encryption mechanism.
- 24V technology ensures optimal system performance: It provides precise deceleration control during both opening and closing operations, automatically stops or immediately reverses upon detecting obstacles, and maintains stable operation even under high-frequency use. The low-voltage design minimizes electrical risks and accidents, ensuring maximum user safety.
- Advanced coding system for secure remote duplication: The new encoding technology allows direct duplication of remote controls via microprocessor technology while maintaining the highest level of security.
- Seamless connectivity with handheld programming devices: Compatible with Unipro, Uniradio, and Proxima handheld programmers, enabling two-way data transfer between the automation system and a computer for quick and secure software updates.
