CONSTRUCTION
Exterior: Satin finish (#4) stainless steel.
Lid: Livingstone acrylic resin, Starry Night Black.
Base: Recessed, powdercoated in RAL 9017, Solar Black.
2.04 EQUIPMENT
A. General: Upon receipt of an authorization signal from an access control system, GateKeeper software, or a
push button device, electrically controlled retracting type barriers will open and allow a single user to pass
through the turnstile in the direction requested. The turnstile will reset after the user has passed through the
turnstile or the time frame allowed for entry to occur has expired. If an unauthorized user attempts to tailgate or
enter from the opposite direction, the unit will recognize the illegal passage and a built in violation alarm will be
activated. Each turnstile shall be bi-directional in operation shall operate in the Passage Modes described
below.
B. Types of Units: The installation shall consist of end and center lanes, as required by the installation.
C. Operating Modes:
1. Normally Closed: The barriers are closed, securing the turnstile. Upon receipt of an authorization signal
from the access control system, the barriers open in a controlled manner and allow a single passage in
the authorized direction. The barriers return to the closed position after the user has passed through the
turnstile or the time frame allowed for entry expires.
2. Barrier Disabled: The barriers remain open, allowing the unit to function as a barrier free optical turnstile.
3. Optical safety sensors shall be present to prevent the barriers from closing when the passageway is
blocked.
4. The barriers shall be lockable in place so that when fully closed, the barriers shall not retract if a person
tries to force them open.
5. The barriers shall stop and reverse away from the obstruction to the fully open position if they encounter
resistance while closing.
6. When the fire alarm input is triggered, the barriers shall open, leaving a barrier free passageway.
7. When power to the unit is lost, the barriers automatically retract.
D. Passage Mode: There are three operating states:
1. Free Passage: All patrons are allowed to pass. The barriers open when the first sensor in the various
arrays is activated and the barriers remain open until the passing patron, or subsequent patrons, either
pass through or back out of the turnstile.
2. Card Access: Each patron must present a valid electronic credential to the integrated reader before
passage is allowed.
3. Lane Closed: No passage is allowed. Valid electronic credentials are ignored.
E. Barriers:
1. The moving barrier shall consist of two barriers per lane, with each barrier blocking approximately half the
width of the lane. The moving barrier shall be .5” thick tempered glass.
2. Available barrier heights shall be 36” and 70”.
3. The barrier shall be able to open or close in approximately 1 second.
4. A stationary barrier is integrated with the lid portion of the lane for added passage security with higher
glass widths.
F. System Integration:
1. General: Each unit shall integrate with outside systems through the use of dry contact inputs and outputs.
2. Custom: Custom methods of integration (through software) shall be available if desired by the end user.
3. Normally Open or Normally Closed: Each input / output shall be user selectable as either a normally open
or a normally closed contact. The length of each contact shall be definable and shall have the ability to be
controlled through Windows based control software (supplied separately by manufacturer).
4. Available Inputs: Available inputs shall include:
a. Direction closed, no passage x 2
b. Direction open, free passage x 2
c. Override passage (guard override) x 2
d. Passage allowed, access granted x 2
e. Passage denied, access denied x 2

arrays). Open / closed lights shall be located on the end of the unit and lights shall appear on the lefthand and right-hand sides of each lane in each direction. Open / closed lights to be as follows:
a. Green consistently illuminated means the lane is open for use.
b. Red consistently illuminated shall signify the lane is closed for use.
c. A flashing green means the turnstile is open and will allow free passage.
d. A flashing red shall signify an alarm condition.
e. The timing and length of display of the LED arrays shall be user definable through Windows based
control software.
5. Sounds: The units shall provide user definable sounds (in the form of a .wav file), and user definable
duration of sounds, to indicate that an activation signal has been provided to the lane by the access
system (“good card”).
6. Sounds: The unit shall provide a user definable sound (in the form of a .wav file), and user definable
duration of sounds, to indicate that an unauthorized signal has been provided to the lane by the access
