OVERVIEW

Our Barrier Wing Optical Turnstiles monitor through-beam infrared sensors, access control contacts, and wing position sensors to control the motion of the barrier wings mounted in the center of the turnstile housing. The barrier wings are normally extended, and retract into the turnstile housing when a valid card signal is received from the card access system. The barrier wings remain in the retracted position while the person passes through the lane, then are reset to the extended position when the lane is cleared. The card access system is interfaced with the optical turnstile control system. All lane controls and alarms are communicated with relay contacts between the card access system and the optical turnstile system. Lane displays and sounders are also controlled from the optical turnstile control system.

One person is allowed to pass through the walkway 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 housing alerts area personnel that a violation has occurred, and an alarm relay contact notifies the access control system of the alarm.

OPERATION

VALID CARD USAGE  When a valid card contact is received at the turnstile control the barrier wings retract into the turnstile housing.   After the person passes through the lane and all IR sensors are cleared the barrier wings reset to the extended position.

FREE EXIT MODE The optical turnstile system has two operating modes - CARD IN / CARD OUT and CARD IN / FREE EXIT. When the system is in FREE EXIT MODE, the sensors at the secured end of the lane determine that a person is exiting and the barrier wings retract into the turnstile housing to allow exit passage. The barrier wings are reset to the extended position after the person passes through the wing movement area.

TAILGATE ALARM  When the optical turnstile system detects a tailgate violation, the barrier wings are sent to the extended position after the first person passes through the wing movement area.  Multiple IR sensors are positioned throughout the lane passage area so that a tailgate violation is determined prior to the violating person reaching the wing movement area.

WING BYPASS The barrier wing operation may be bypassed with a contact from the card access system to allow for optical turnstile operation without wing operation. The barrier wings retract into the turnstile housing until the wing bypass contact is reset. The optical turnstile continues to operate normally.

EMERGENCY OPERATION An emergency override contact from the card access or fire alarm system will cause the barrier wings to be retracted into the turnstile housing, and the motion control system will be disabled so that the barrier wings cannot be extended into the lane passageway.

Adjustments

Tailgate Sensitivity Adjustment - sets the sensitivity of the tailgate detection software.
Beam Block - sets the time delay to beam block alarm.
Alarm auto reset - sets the time delay for alarm reset.
Unused access reset delay - sets the time delay to reset the lane to normal if a valid card is presented and the lane passage does not occur. 

Construction

The sub-base and internal frame are constructed of 3/8" steel.  There are eight mounting holes and access for wiring. Housing is stainless steel with brushed finish.

Dimensions 20W x 60L x 40H inches
Mounting

The sub-base is bolted to the floor using the provided anchor bolts.  The housing frame is mounted to the sub-base.

Spacing

NORMAL PASSAGEWAYS
The housings should be spaced to provide 30 to 32 inches of walkway space for normal passageways.

ADA PASSAGEWAYS
The housings should be spaced to provide a minimum of 36 inches of walkway space for ADA compliant passageways.
