automatically pushed away.
If a pedestrian swipes an invalid card or dosen't swiping, who will be prohibited from passing through
by the system and issues an alarm which will be cancelled untill the pedestrian exits the passage. A
pedestrian can pass through the passage only after successful verification with a valid card read by
the card reader.
System Composition 1.7
The single-passage management system consists of two single-core channel gates. The multi-passage
management system consists of multiple single-core channel gates.
To meet different needs, this system provides multiple working modes for users, including Two-way Swipe,
In Free & Out Swipe, In Swipe & Out Free, Two-way Free, and test mode, etc.
2 Installation of the Product
Installation Notes 2.1
1. It is recommended that the tripod turnstile must be installed on a horizontal solid platform with a
height of 50mm to 100mm.
2. It is also recommended that the tripod turnstile should not be used in a corrosive environment.
3. Make sure the protective ground wire of the system is reliably connected to avoid personal injuries or
other accidents.
4. The equipment shell is made of stainless steel. You may gently remove any dirt or dust on the surface
with a soft and smooth fabric. Do not scrub the surface with hard objects. Do not rinse the device with
water, otherwise there may be short circuit or damaging the equipment.
5. After installation, check if the connection is done correctly at the connecting points of the protective
ground wire, at the connector assemblies and wiring points of the circuits, as well as at each movable
part of the tripod turnstile. Any loose nuts, screws and other fasteners should be tightened in time to
avoid tripod turnstile failures caused by longer operations.
Installation Position of the Tripod Turnstile 2.2
The installation position depends on the size of the tripod turnstile. If the tripod turnstile is installed near a
wall, a distance of 100mm between the tripod turnstile and the wall needs to be reserved for ease of
opening the top cover of the machine to perform maintenance and adjustment. The TS5000A may either
form one channel, or form dual channels with two TS5000A tripod turnstiles, as shown in Figure 2-1.
