4.1 Catrax Master operation
In the basic mechanism,
has a two-dimensional rotation system
CATRAX Master
with two 12 Vcc electromagnets for activating the locks and two optical sensors that
can provide the signal for the activation of the electromagnets and passage
clearance.
In the electronic model, which includes a microprocessor control board (optional), a
signal enabling passage is sent through one of the inputs, depending on the passage
direction. If this signal is recognized, the equipment will allow the turning of the arm
of
. After half of the turning is complete (60 degrees), a 400
CATRAX Master
milliseconds returning signal will be sent, informing the passage direction. After the
signal, the arm cannot be returned to the previous position.
Depending on the
model and configuration, if the passage is forced
CATRAX Master
without the enabling signal, an electromagnet will be activated to prevent turn. In
addition, the equipment can emit a signal for a sound alarm and/or the exhibition of a
red X on the upper panel display (models with pictogram). In this case, a return signal
will be sent, indicating that the turnstile was forced, informing the direction of turn.
