In this Tech Tip, Delta Scientific Master Technician, Glenn Allen, walks you through troubleshooting one of the most commonly received tech support questions: What to do if the Pressure Relief Valve is hissing, the system is not reaching the desired pressure, or the system isn't allowing the pressure switch to shut off?
Get a close-up view as Glenn safely demonstrates how to quickly make the necessary adjustments and informs you of the recommended psi settings. If systems are not holding pressure or reaching the desired cutoff pressure, the pressure switch isn't allowing the system to shut off. This is likely due to the pressure relief valve needing adjusting or replacing. Glenn walks through what is needed to accomplish these corrections for your vehicle barrier systems.

![Delta Scientific: DSC7000 Beam Barricade K12 Crash Test
DSC7000 K Rated Crash Beam Barricades
The DSC7000 crash rated beam barricade is used worldwide at locations where wide roadways need to be secured from attacking vehicles. It provides protection between 12- to 20-foot wide with options to 30 feet (3.7 to 9.2 m). The 725-pound beam of the vertical lift barricade stops a 15,000-pound (66.7 kN) vehicle traveling 50 mph (80 kph) dead in its tracks, equivalent to 1.2-million foot-pounds of kinetic energy.
K Rated Barrier: Certified K-12 Crash Rated Barrier
Installation Design: Shallow Foundation Barrier
Model #: DSC7000
The DSC7000(H) version operates remotely by means of an integral Hydraulic Pumping Unit (HPU) that is wholly enclosed in the hinge end enclosure. The HPU can be powered from a local single or three-phase power source. Alternatively, the DSC7000(H) can be powered and operated automatically from a Battery Powered HPU, which can be maintained at operating power level by a solar array or by low power alternative sources.
The Manual version of the Model DSC7000 Drop Arm Beam Barrier System can be converted to fully automatic operation by the addition of a Delta hydraulic power unit and appropriate control options.
Barrier Clear Opening. The standard clear opening shall be 144 inches (3,66 M) as measured inside to inside of the hinge and locking buttress. The Barrier can be specified with a clear opening up to 240 inches [9,14 M].
Delta Scientific certifies the The DSC7000 beam has been tested to the United Kingdom BSI Standard PAS:68 2007 in the DSC7500 configuration. Crash tested with a 7.5 Tonne EU truck at 80 kph. Zero penetration. The beam held and was wedged in place. Second attack readiness Delta Scientific: DSC7000 Beam Barricade K12 Crash Test](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/q2jSo94mNFc/mqdefault.jpg)
