OVERVIEW

Our Full-Length Stainless Steel Optical Turnstiles (OTS-SS) monitor through-beam infrared sensors, access control contacts to determine and annunciate the status of a secured pedestrian walkway. The access control system provides valid card contact closures to the turnstile system when a card is presented to the card reader mounted at the turnstile housing. Green and red backlit display indicators prompt persons using the turnstile lane to present their card, then indicate if access is granted or denied.  A sounder located inside the turnstile housing provides a short audible indication that access is granted; a separate sounder indicates when access is denied.

One person is allowed to pass through the turnstile lane for each valid card presented. If a person walks through the passageway without presenting a valid card, an alarm is generated. A sounder in the turnstile housing alerts area personnel that a violation has occurred, and an alarm relay contact notifies the access control system of the alarm.

Model OTS-SS is available in 60-inch, 48-inch, and 36-inch housings.

STANDARD SYSTEM INTERFACE

The lock output of the card access system is monitored by the turnstile system to determine when a valid card has been presented. The lock may be fail safe or fail secure. The lock output must be configured for automatic re-lock when the door mimic relay is opened.

The normally closed-door mimic relay (DMR) is monitored by the card reader system.

OPERATION

Normal Passage (Entry or Exit) Using Card Reader
The DMR opens when the valid card is presented to the reader, and closes when a person walks through the passageway. This relay cycle is expected by the card reader system and an authorized passage is registered in the card reader database.

Tailgate Alarm
If a person walks through the passageway in the entry direction without presenting a valid card, then the DMR opens again and the card reader system interprets that action as a forced door and an alarm is registered in the card reader database. The optical turnstile circuit activates the local sounder so that the alarm is annunciated at the turnstile lane.  The alarm is reset after about 4 seconds.

Free Exit Mode
When a person walks through the passageway in the exit direction, the DMR relay does not activate.
