 Tapeline

 Marker Pen

 Pencil

 Percussion Drill

 Screwdriver

 Wrench

 Hex Wrench

 Cutting Machine

Installation Requirements 3.2

1. It is recommended that the turnstile must be installed on a horizontal solid platform with a height of

2.0" to 3.9"(50mm to 100mm).

2. It is recommended that the turnstile should not be used in the corrosive environment.

3. Make sure that the ground wire of the system is securely connected to avoid personal injuries

or other accidents.

4. After installation, check if the connection has been done correctly at the connecting points of

the ground wire, at the connector assemblies and wiring points of the circuits, as well as at

each movable part of the turnstile. Any loose nuts, screws and other fasteners should be

tightened in time to avoid any failures caused by long-time operations.

Installation Environment 3.3

1. Before installation begins, prepare installation tools, check the device and the accessories, and

clear the installation base.

2. Make sure that the appliance is mounted on a concrete surface or other non-flammable surfaces.

3. The installation position of the turnstile depends on its size. A distance of 3.9"(100mm) between the

turnstile and the wall needs to be reserved for ease of opening the top lid of the turnstile to

perform maintenance and adjustment. The reference figure is shown below:

Saturn-F1000 Series User Manual

Installation Cabinet 3.4

Step 1 Remove the Top Lid and Chassis Cover

1. As shown below, use the key to open the chassis covers on both sides and remove them.

Saturn-F1000 Series User Manual

2. Loosen the four screws in the positions shown in the picture below. Then remove the top cover

upwards.

Step 2 Marker Position

Draw the location of the cabinet with a marker and mark each location of the mounting holes. There will

be a total of four mounting holes and two wire holes per cabinet.

Saturn-F1000 Series User Manual

Step 3 Determine the mounting location

1. Please refer to the user's manual and complete the power-on self test operation before

installation.

2. Then place the cabinet according to the mounting distances shown in the diagram below. Take

care to measure the distance between the bottom inside walls of the cabinets on the entrance

side and exit side of the channel and make sure that the measurements are consistent.

Step 4 Drill holes and place bolts

1. Using a concrete drill bit, drill the mounting holes 2.4" (60mm) in depth at the center of each marked

location.

2. Then insert the bolts vertically into the mounting holes as shown at right.

3. Ensure expansion bolts are properly seated by applying three to five light taps with a rubber mallet

until flush with the concrete surface. Verify anchor stability before proceeding.

Saturn-F1000 Series User Manual

Step 5 Wireway laying

1. Dig a recess of 2.0" (50mm) depth between the wire holes on both sides of the channel with the

dimensions shown below. Recesses can be dug at positions 1 and 2.

2. Then lay two 0.8" to 1.0" (20 to 25mm) diameter PVC pipes as shown below.

3. After threading the cable out of the PVC pipe, pour concrete to f ix it in place.

Step 6 Fixed cabinet

1. After laying the PVC pipe, place the cabinet alignment bolts back into the mounting position.

Saturn-F1000 Series User Manual

2. Then insert the eight washers and nuts into the bolts one by one.

3. Tighten the nuts to hold the cabinet in place. Don't tighten it completely until after you're sure it won't

move anymore. The finished result is shown below:

Step 7 Marking the warning line

1. It is recommended that warning lines be marked on the ground and used to alert users.

2. A warning line can alert users to wait outside the line until the previous user completes the verif ication

process and passes through the turnstile.

supply.)

2. Credential Verification

After the device power-on self-test is completed, it enters the standby state.

When the user places a valid card in the swipe area, i.e. the device recognizes a valid card. The LCD

display will show success and a buzzer will give a positive audible indication to the pedestrian that it

has been successfully validated. The card reader then sends a signal to the access controller

requesting permission to pass through the channel. The access controller will send a signal to the

turnstile control panel. After receiving the signal from the card reader and the Infrared Sensor, the

Turnstile Control Board will send valid control signals to the servo motor driver, and will open the

barrier.

1) Verification Success

When the verification is successful, the door will open.

Saturn-F1000 Series User Manual

2) Verification Failure

When verification fails, the door remains closed.

Note: If the system is in forbidden passing mode, the traffic indicator light will turn red, and the

Turnstile Control Board will not accept card signals.

3. Passed Through

After the passenger passes the channel in the direction indicated by the flap barrier, the Infrared Sensor will

keep detecting the movement of the pedestrian throughout the passage and continuously monitors the

passenger until they have exited the passage.

If the pedestrian enters the passage but forgets to verify identification, or if the card by the

pedestrian is invalid, the system will prompt an audible alarm to warn the pedestrian to stop passing.

The alarm signal will not be cancelled until the passenger retreats from the passage. The pedestrian

can pass through the passage only after a valid card is successfully verified.

8 Maintenance

Chassis Maintenance 8.1

The chassis is made up of Cold-rolled SPCC Steel (GB700). If it is used for substantial period, then

there may be rust stains on its surface. Regularly clean the surface with a clean cloth carefully. Coat

the surface with anti-rust oil and do not cover the infrared sensor.

Movement Maintenance 8.2

Before doing maintenance, turn off the power. Open the door, wipe the surface dust, and apply

lubricant for smooth movement.

Power Supply Maintenance 8.3

 Switch off the power supply before maintenance.

 Check the power plug connection, if found loose, fix it properly.

 Do not change any connection position randomly.

 Check the external power supply insulation periodically.

 Do periodic check for any kind of leakage.

 Check if the technical parameters of interface are normal.

 Check the service life of the electronic components and replace accordingly.

Caution: All the above-mentioned maintenance methods for flap barrier must be carried out by a

professional technician, especially the movement and the electric control part. For ensuring

operational safety, first switch off the power supply when the barrier is not in use. Perform the

safety check on a weekly basis to ensure that the turnstile is safe and ready for user operation.

9 Troubleshooting

No. Failure Descriptions Analysis and Solution

The traffic indicator light does not

respond or the indication is

incorrect.

Check that the control panel traffic indicator wiring

is correct or that the contact is poor.

After swiping the card, there is only

one gate unlocked.

Check the mode setting of the Main and sub

devices and the 5-core connection lines. See the

wiring diagram for the specific connection circuit.

The barrier doesn’t close when the

opening delay time is ended.

Check to see if the opening delay time is too long

or whether the IR sensor is covered.

When the gate is self-tested, the

wing arm is not in the normal closing

position!

In the process of self-test, there are obstacles,

please remove the obstacles, restart the self-test

after power-on!
