1 Overview
Mars-S100 swing barrier turnstile series from ZKTeco has two models: Mars-S100 and Mars-S120.
Mars-S100 series provides single lane or dual lane, and the lane which can be extended up to
900mm for very high-traffic areas such as bus terminals, government institutions and stadiums.
Mars-S100 series has installed four pairs of IR sensors for accurate people counting and to avoid
collisions with the barrier. The barriers can be locked in a closed position, and an integrated clutch
mechanism engages if the barrier is forced, protecting the turnstile from damage.
Additionally, this compact speed gate can integrate with access control system. Upon a valid
verification of user's credentials (Fingerprint / Face / Palm / RFID Card/ QR Code, the barriers
automatically swing to the open position, allowing passage.
Essential safety functions include automatic barrier opening in the event of power loss or a fire
alarm signal activation, ensuring unimpeded egress in emergencies.
Features 1.1
Reliability
The powder coating provides a protective finish that helps to prevent the cabinet from rusting.
Adopt a high-quality DC brushless motor which extends the operation lifespan.

Mechanical System 1.3
The mechanical system of the turnstile consists of the chassis and the core component. The chassis
is a carrier where the Traffic Indicator, Reader★, QR code scanner★, Fingerprint reader★, Infrared
Sensor and the Door lock are installed. The core component mainly consists of the Motor, Frame,
Bearing and Swing Arm.
Mars-S100 Series User Manual

Electronic Control System 1.4
The electronic control system of a turnstile is mainly composed of the Reader★/QR code scanner★
/Fingerprint reader★, Infrared Sensor, Turnstile Control Board, Traffic Indicator and Alarm.
Reader★: The reader reads the data on the card and transmits it to the Access Controller.
Fingerprint Reader★: The device compares the fingerprint that is being pressed onto the
fingerprint reader with all the fingerprint data and sends it to the Access Controller.
QR code Reader★: The device compares the acquired QR code with all QR code data registered in
the device and sends it to the Access Controller.
Infrared Sensor: It detects the position of the pedestrian and plays a role in ensuring safety and
protection.
Turnstile Control Board: The Turnstile control board is the system’s control center that receives
signals from the Card reader★/fingerprint reader★/QR code reader★. The IR performs logical
calculation and processing these signals and then sends executive commands to the Traffic
Indicator, Electric Motor, and alarm.
Traffic Indicator: When the gate is closed, the system will illuminate the red indicator. However,
when someone successfully passes the verification, the system will illuminate the green indicator.
Alarm: The alarm gives the voice and light alarm if the system detects any unauthorized entry to the
passage, false direction entry, anti-tailgate and other violations.
Working Principle 1.5
1. When the device is powered on, it undergoes a Power-On Self-Test (POST). If no issues are
detected during the test, the device will operate normally. If a failure is detected, the system will
display relevant error messages on the digital tube, allowing the user to quickly identify and
resolve the problem.
Mars-S100 Series User Manual
Page | 11 Copyright © 2025 ZKTECO CO., LTD. All Rights Reserved.
2. When a valid card★/fingerprint★/QR code★, the display will show whether it is successful or
not, the buzzer will give a positive audible prompt to the pedestrian, indicating that
successfully verified. And then, the card reader★/fingerprint reader★/QR code reader★ sends
signals to the Access Controller to request permission to pass through the passage. The Access
Controller will send the signal to the Turnstile Control Board.
3. After receiving the signal from the card★/fingerprint★/QR code★ and the Infrared Sensor, the
Turnstile Control Board will send valid control signals to the servo motor driver. At this time, if
the system is in forbidden passing mode, the mode indicator light will turn red, and the
Turnstile Control Board will not accept signals of card★/fingerprint★/QR code★.
4. Once the passenger passes through the channel in accordance with the opening direction of
the swing arm, the Infrared Sensor will continuously monitor the pedestrian's movement
throughout the passage. It will continue to send signals to the Turnstile Control Board until the
pedestrian completes the passage.
5. If the pedestrian enters the passage without verifying their identification or presents an invalid
card★/fingerprint★/QR code★ the system will sound an audible alarm to alert the pedestrian
to stop. The alarm signal will perist until the pedestrian retreats from the passage. Only after a
card★/fingerprint★/QR code★ is successfully verified can the pedestrian process through the
passage.
Note: Make sure the ground wire of the system is reliably connected to avoid personal injuries or
other accidents.
System Composition 1.6
The single-passage management system consists of two single-core speed gates. The multi-passage
management system consists of two single-core speed gates and multiple dual-core speed gates.

4 Maintenance
Chassis Maintenance 4.1
The chassis is made of cold-rolled steel SPCC (GB700) or SUS304 stainless steel. If it has been used for
a long time, the surface may have rust stains. Clean the surface thoroughly with a clean cloth on a
regular basis. Coat the surface with anti-rust oil, but do not cover the infrared sensor.
Movement Maintenance 4.2
Before doing maintenance, turn off the power. Open the door, wipe the surface dust, and apply
lubricant for smooth movement.
Power Supply Maintenance 4.3
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 speed gates are must be carried out
by a professional technician, especially the movement and the electric control part. Operational
safety is crucial, therefore it is important to deactivate the power supply when the speed gate is not
in use.

The mode indicator light does not
respond or the indication is incorrect.
Check the control panel mode and the
indicator wiring connections.

Check the Main / Sub settings and the 8-
core, 2-core connection lines. See the wiring
diagram for the specific connection circuit.
