SU4500 Cabinets
There are three types of SU4500 cabinets used to create passage lanes: a Main Cabinet, a Secondary
Cabinet, and a Center (Expansion) Cabinet. A single passage lane consists of a Main Cabinet and a
Secondary Cabinet [Fig. 3]. The Center Cabinet is used to create additional passage lanes with the addition
of a single cabinet [Fig. 4].
Each cabinet has an unsecured and secured side. Alvarado follows what we call the “right-hand rule" - user
status lights and card readers are always installed on the right-hand side as you enter the turnstile.
The center portion of the Main Cabinet contains
the main turnstile controller, I/O control board,
motor and motor controller board, safety sensor
receivers, one moving barrier, and a power switch
located at the base on the secured side.
The top channel of the Main Cabinet contains the
operational sensor receivers, a drive system, and
a User Status Display that communicates turnstile
status to the user. A card reader is normally
installed during installation underneath the lid
below the card reader icon.
