Mechanical System 1.3
The mechanical system of the tripod turnstile includes the chassis and the core component. The
chassis serves as a carrier for the tri-color indicator, Reader, and Access controller. The core
components primarily include the Motor, Frame, Bearing, Arm, and other essential elements.
Electronic Control System 1.4
The electronic control system of a tripod turnstile mainly consists of the Card Reader, Turnstile
Control Board, Access Controller, Alarm and traffic Indicator.
Card Reader: The reader reads the data on the card and transmits it to the Access Controller.
Turnstile Control Board: The turnstile control board serves as the control center of the system,
receiving signals from the access controller and photoelectric switch; and it makes logical
judgments and processes these signals, then subsequently sends executive commands to the traffic
indicator, motor, and alarm.
Access Controller: This component enhances convenience for authorized personnel by facilitating
entry while simultaneously restricting access for unauthorized individuals.
Tri-color Indicator: Displays the current passage status of the channel and guiding pedestrians to
pass through the channel in a safe and orderly manner. (Normal status: Blue; Passage allowed:
Green; Abnormal/Error status: Red)
Alarm: This system issues an alarm alert when the system detects unauthorized entry or illegal
access by pedestrians.
Working Principle 1.5
1. When connected to power, the tripod turnstile undergoes a Power-On Self-Test. If no issues are
detected during this process, the turnstile will operate normally.
background
Saturn-T1000 User Manual
Page | 14 Copyright©2025 ZKTECO CO., LTD. All Rights Reserved.
2. When the card reader successfully reads a valid card, the peak buzzer emits a pleasant sound,
signalling to pedestrians that the card reading is successful. Simultaneously, the system
processes the information from the card, sending a signal to the turnstile control board to
request passage.
3. The turnstile control board receives the signal from the card reader, processes it
comprehensively, and sends an effective control signal to the indicator and motor. The traffic
indicator turns green, and the control board activates the electromagnet to open the gate.
Pedestrians can gently push the unlocked arm, and it will automatically rotate, allowing them
to pass through the channel following the guidance of the traffic indicator.
4. If a pedestrian enters the passage without successfully verifying their identification or with an
invalid card, the system will not grant passage. Only when a valid card is successfully confirmed
will the pedestrian be allowed to pass through the passage.
Note: Make sure the ground wire of the system is securely connected to avoid personal injuries or
other accidents.
Power-On Self-Test 1.6
1. Connect the tripod turnstile's power adapter to a 220V mains power source. Important: Ensure
that the tripod turnstile is properly grounded.
2. Power on the tripod turnstile and wait 30s to complete the self-check program.
3. Lift the arms manually, as shown in the diagram below:
Power Adapter
background
Saturn-T1000 User Manual
Page | 15 Copyright©2025 ZKTECO CO., LTD. All Rights Reserved.
4. Use a two-way switch to test the proper functioning of the tripod turnstile, and ensure to check
that the traffic indicators are working correctly. In case of any issues, please contact the supplier
for assistance.
Status of Traffic Indicator 1.7
The tripod turnstile is in working state after power-on self-test. The traffic indicators provide
pedestrians with the appropriate passage indications.
Passage allowed: Abnormal/Error

2 Authentication Methods
Users can freely choose to configure the authentication module according to actual needs. The
following options are included.
Streamlined Under Mount Options:
RFID only, RFID & QR Code.
Surface Mount Option:
Mounting Pole (Compatible with ProFace X series / SpeedFace V5L / Elite Pass).
Card Verification
2.1
When the device is configured with a card swipe module, the Card Verification mode compares the
card number in the card induction area with all of the card number data registered in the device and
sends it to the Access Controller.
When a user presses his / her card on the card reading area, the device enters card authentication
mode.
background
Saturn-T1000 User Manual
Page | 17 Copyright©2025 ZKTECO CO., LTD. All Rights Reserved.
QR Code Verification
2.2
The QR code Verification mode is to scan the QR code on the user's mobile phone through the QR
code scanner and compare the data with the registered QR code, and then sends it to the Access
Controller.
When the user places the mobile phone displaying with the QR code on top of the QR code scanner,
the device enters the QR code authentication mode.
Facial Verification 2.3
In this verification mode, the device compares the collected facial images with all face data
registered in the device and then sends it to the Access Controller.
Try to keep the face in the centre of the screen during authentication. Please face towards the
camera and stay still during face registration.

Recommended Standing Posture and Facial Expression:
Note: Please keep your facial expression and standing posture natural while enrollment or verification.
Facial Authentication Terminal Installation:
1. Remove the top cover plate and route the unit's cables through the pre-drilled mounting holes.
2. Pass the mounting bracket through the mounting holes.
3. Place the gasket and nut and tighten the nut to secure the unit.
4. Adjust the unit to a suitable angle.

4 Troubleshooting
Failure Description Solution
The light indicator doesn't
illuminate when the
equipment is turned on
Check for power supply or circuit issues. Examine the connection
and power cables for damage or loose wiring.
The device arm can't be
manually lifted after
powering on
Check whether the limit seat is properly aligned with the disk
wheel when lifting the arm.
Check whether the arm
drop magnet is working properly,
open the upper cover of the chassis, open the movement
cover with a hexagonal screwdriver and check the working
status of the electromagnet.
No gate opening after
authentication
Verify user permissions.
Refer to the 3.1 wiring diagram to check the wiring.
After opening the gate, the
passage is not smooth, and
there's high resistance in the
push rod, making rotation
difficult
Adjust the tension spring by tweaking the live joint bolt at the
tension spring.
Dropping the arm during
use
Check if the limit seat is correctly aligned or if there is a gap.
Ensure the arm drop magnet is fully engaged; if not, power off
for 2 minutes and then power on.
Continuous single-sided
passage during use without
locking the lever.
Inspect the gate opening magnet by opening the top cover
and movement cover with a hexagonal screwdriver.
Check for any sticking or disconnection in the gate opening
magnet or shrapnel.

5 Precaution
1. It is recommended to purchase optional accessories to use in outdoor environment.
a) Install optional cooling fans if the working temperature frequently exceeds 50°C.
b) Proper installation makes it equivalent to IPX4 waterproof, but it cannot withstand regions
prone to typhoons.
c) For temperatures below -30°C, consider installing a heating plate. Allow time for automatic
self-checking during power-on in extreme cold conditions.
d) Note that using the equipment in coastal areas or regions with acid rain may reduce its
service life.
2. When power and signal cables are correctly connected, the equipment can be submerged up
to a depth of 250 mm in water. Do not power on the equipment when submerged in water to
prevent operational issues.
3. It is highly recommended to set up a card swiping warning line to prompt passers-by to swipe
cards properly. Establish a reasonable passage width to prevent illegal squeezing by passers-by.
4. It is recommended to place a warning sign at a conspicuous position. The sign should prompt:
"Please swipe your card outside the warning line and pass in order. Thank you!”
The maximum tolerance of the tripod turnstile's arms
Note that the maximum stress tolerance at the center of the arm is 80kg, while at the ends of the
arm, it is 40kg. In the event of an impact force reaching the designed limit on the tripod turnstile, the
arms are engineered to detach first as a safety mechanism. This is a safety feature to prevent
damage to the entire equipment and ensure the safety of passers-by.

In case of emergencies
The equipment is designed to automatically drop the arms during a power failure, enabling open
passage for safe egress. Furthermore, the turnstile control board offers an interface to connect an
emergency switch (Drop Arm), maintaining the tripod turnstile in an open position during
emergencies. Note: After power is restored, wait at least 6 seconds before manually lifting the arms.
