Mechanical System 1.4
The mechanical system of the tripod turnstile consists of the chassis and the core components. The
chassis serves as a carrier for the installation of the Traffic Indicator, RFID Reader★, Fingerprint
Reader★ and Door lock.
Electronic Control System 1.5
The electronic control system of a tripod turnstile mainly consists of the RFID Reader★/Fingerprint
reader★, Turnstile control board and Traffic Indicator.
RFID Reader★: The reader reads the data on the card and transmits it to the Access Controller.
Fingerprint Reader★: The device compares the fingerprint being pressed onto the fingerprint
reader with the stored fingerprint data 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 reader and the dry contact. It performs logical calculations and processing
of these signals, and subsequently sends executive commands to the traffic indicator and the arm.
Traffic Indicator: The system will illuminate the red indicator when the gate is closed. When
someone passes the verification, the system will illuminate the green indicator.
Power-On Self-Test 1.6
1. Please make sure that the power requirements are strictly to avoid permanent damage to the
unit. Input voltage: AC 100 to 120V /200 to 240V. Note: The tripod turnstile must be connected
to the ground (earth).
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:
4. Check whether the tripod turnstile and the traffic indicators work properly. If there is any
problem, please contact the supplier.

TS1200 Pro Series Tripod Turnstile User Manual
Page | 10 Copyright©2026 ZKTECO CO., LTD. All Rights Reserved.
Status of Traffic Indicator 1.7
The tripod turnstile is in working state after power-on self-test. The traffic indicator gives pedestrians
the corresponding indication of passage.
Standby:
Pass-through (In/Out):
Working Principle 1.8
1. When the device is connected to the power, the system performs the Power-On Self-Test. If no
issues are detected during this process, the device will operate normally
2. When a valid Card★/Fingerprint★ is detected, the traffic indicator will display a green light to
indicate successful verification to the pedestrian. And then, the reader sends signals to the
Access Controller to request permission to pass through the passage. The Access Controller will
send the signal to the mother control panel.
3. After receiving the signal from the Access Controller, the turnstile control board sends valid
control signals to the solenoid.
4. Pedestrians should follow the traffic indicator and gently push the unlocked arm; the arm will
automatically rotate till the pedestrian passes through the channel.
5. If a pedestrian enters the passage without successfully verifying their identification or if their
card★/fingerprint★ is invalid, the system will not grant passage. Only when a valid card★
/fingerprint★ is successfully confirmed, the pedestrian will be allowed to pass through the
passage.
Note: Make sure the ground wire of the system is reliably connected to avoid personal injuries or
other accidents.

When a user places their finger onto the fingerprint scanner, the device enters the fingerprint
authentication mode.
Recommended fingers: It is recommended to use index, middle, or ring finger for registration and
avoid using the thumb or little finger, as they are difficult to accurately press onto the fingerprint
reader.
Note: Please use the correct method when pressing your fingers onto the fingerprint reader for
registration and identification. Our company will assume no liability for recognition issues that may
result from incorrect usage of the product. We reserve the right of final interpretation and

frequently above 50 °C.
b) It is equivalent to IPX4 waterproof under proper installation. However, it cannot work in the
region that may suffer typhoon.
c) If the temperature reaches -30 °C, it is recommended to install a heating plate. It might
need multiple times to power on while getting hot automatically through the self-check
program.
d) The service life of this equipment may be reduced if it is used outdoors in coastal areas or
regions prone to acid rain.
2. If the power and signal cables are connected properly, this equipment can be submerged in
water up to a depth of 250 mm, but it must not be powered on for operating when it is
submerged in water.

The maximum tolerance of the tripod turnstile's arms
Please note that the maximum stress tolerance at the center of the arm is 80kg and at the ends of
the arm is 40kg. When the impact force on the tripod turnstile reaches the designed limit, the arms
will break down first to prevent damage to the entire equipment and ensure the safety of passers-by.

In case of emergencies
This equipment is designed to automatically lower the arms in the event of a power failure, allowing
the passage to be open for the public. Additionally, the turnstile control board provides an interface
to connect an emergency switch (Drop Arm), which keeps the tripod turnstile in an open position
during emergencies. Please note that after power is restored, it is important to wait for more than 6
seconds before lifting the arms manually.
