Nice Apollo XBA8 Integrated Red Green Traffic Light Kit for M-Bar L-Bar
The Nice Apollo XBA8 is the red/green integrated traffic light accessory used on compatible M-Bar and L-Bar barrier operator systems. It is intended for sites where the barrier operator should provide a visible lane signal, such as a gated community entrance, parking facility, commercial checkpoint, or traffic-control lane. The module fits into the barrier operator lid for a factory-style appearance and reduces the need for a separate wall- or pole-mounted traffic light in some layouts. XBA8 is commonly tied to the XBA3 and BCU1 control board platforms and should not be wired to unsupported controllers. It is a traffic indication accessory, not an entrapment protection device and not a replacement for required photo eyes or safety edges.

Technician Note
This XBA8 item should be matched to the installed Nice Apollo barrier operator and parts diagram. For M-Bar and L-Bar equipment, confirm the arm length, control board, cabinet style, and accessory requirements before replacing parts by appearance alone.
Before Ordering
- Confirm the full barrier operator model and arm family.
- Match the visible part number or parts diagram reference to the item being ordered.
- Check for related required parts such as XBA13 rubber strips, compatible control board, lid, arm section, or mounting hardware.
- Do not assume similar XBA part numbers are interchangeable.
- For electrical accessories or control board replacement, use a qualified gate technician if the system has unsafe wiring, missing safety devices, or high-voltage concerns.
Professional Advisory
Barrier arm systems are exposed to vehicle impact, weather, vibration, and frequent cycling. After replacing any arm, light, control, mounting, or traffic accessory, the installer should check arm balance, movement, clearances, safety devices, warning devices, and final operation before returning the lane to service.
