Superior Technology

The SU3000 optical turnstile provides bi-directional access control in conjunction with a facility access control system. To enter, users present a valid credential which retracts the turnstile’s motorized barrier arms down and into the cabinet, allowing a single passage in the requested direction. Unauthorized entries, or attempts to tailgate on an authorized entry, are deterred. The turnstile has a number of operational modes and features that provide a superb combination of security, safety and high user throughput.

Key Features:

Barrier arms restrict access to valid users only

Drop arms open quickly upon validated credential and close after passage

Advanced tailgating, crawl under, wrong way, presence and tampering detection

Audio, visual and controller level interfaces

Upload custom .wav files for alarm signals

Brushless closed loop DC drive system

Multiple operation modes

Virtually maintenance free

Added Benefits:

Secures space and ensures only valid users gain entry

Provides the ability to track who is in the facility

Reduces security staff requirements

Alarms allow nearby staff to respond more effectively

Intuitive operation for attendants and users

High throughput (up to 40-60 ppm) rates to eliminate bottlenecks

Quick and precise drop arm movement and alignment – no need for constant adjustments

Integrates easily with 3rd party systems (i.e. cameras, guard signals)

Easy to install – provides years of trouble free operation

Simplified integration

Access Control and Visitor Management

The SU3000 optical turnstile can be incorporated into your facility with very minimal effort. It integrates with virtually any access control or visitor management system and accommodates a wide array of credential readers. Dedicated fire or life safety system inputs are provided and outputs can be used to turn on cameras, lock interior doors and provide remote notification. The result is a drop arm optical turnstile solution that provides superior access control and visitor management for facilities worldwide.

Lane Monitoring and Control

Alvarado’s GateKeeper Monitoring and Control software allows operational management of SU3000 optical turnstiles over a TCP/IP network. Among its many features, GateKeeper allows authorized personnel using a laptop, PC, tablet or similar device to change lane configurations and provide override activations for special circumstances such as visitors and deliveries. Passage directions can also be changed (and individual turnstiles opened or closed) at pre-defined times to increase passage flow or heighten security during busy or slow periods.

TCP/IP enabled for remote communication and control of turnstiles

Never compromise safety

Built-in Safety

The embedded intelligence and advanced hardware of the SU3000 provides highly evolved safety features. The strategically placed safety sensors are constantly monitored to instantaneously stop the moving panels if a potential contact is detected. In the highly unlikely event of a contact, our powerful closed loop motor drive system detects the impact and immediately stops the moving arms. The drop arms can be forced downward to meet local life safety regulations. When the optical turnstile receives a fire/life safety input, the arms drop and remain open until reset. In the event of power loss, the barrier arms drop freely and/or with minimal force to allow free egress.

Key Features:

Strategically placed safety sensors prevent drop arm impact with persons or objects

Intelligent drive system and pinpoint control of moving drop arms

Arms drop freely upon loss of power or state of emergency to allow free egress

Certifications:

The SU3000 optical turnstile is independently tested and certified by LA Testing Labs. It is also CE marked.

Additional information

The SU3000 has many available options, including:

Alternate lid colors and materials

Powder coated or metal plated cabinets

Standard or handicapped lane widths

GateKeeper control and monitoring software

Elevated baseplates

Elevator Destination Dispatch

The SU3000 can integrate with virtually any Elevator Destination Dispatch solution to direct users to the correct elevator when presenting their authorized credentials. The dispatch display can be mounted directly to the turnstile, eliminating the need for employees/visitors to identify themselves a second time when entering an elevator.
