GUIDELINES FOR EVERYDAY USE
(PROVIDE COPIES TO ALL TURNSTILE USERS)
Optical Turnstiles are provided for greater security in your workplace.
They help ensure that only authorized individuals will be allowed into the secure areas of your facility.
You may find daily use of Optical Turnstiles becomes routine as you follow these basic guidelines:
USER VALIDATION
“ID” for access control can be of many types, from card readers to biometric systems.
Please refer to instructions provided for reader operation by the manufacturer, or by your security director.

Look at DISPLAY status, then PRESENT ID to the
Reader mounted on, or in, the right-hand bollard of
the lane you are using. It may beep to indicate your
ID was read.

Listen for a BEEP after the ID has been validated
and/or watch the Display on the top of the right-hand
bollard to indicate authorization.

Next Look for PROCEED Graphic as indication you have been authorized for passage through the lane.
The barriers will automatically swing out of the way allowing passage.
CAUTION: AVOID TOUCHING THE BARRIER , except in an Emergency, otherwise AN ALARM MAY SOUND

MOVE THROUGH THE LANE PROMPTLY. Avoid stopping or moving backward, as this will trigger the alarm.
TIP: During passage through the lane, swinging items (purses, briefcases, etc) could be interpreted by the turnstile
as a person tailgating you, or moving in the other direction, thus causing an alarm. To avoid delays caused by
false alarms, hold items close to your body, or at your side as you pass through the lane.

IF ALARM SOUNDS , exit the lane, STOP and wait for security personnel to respond.

Once through the lane, continue moving ahead to clear the lane for other users.
FREE ENTRY/EXIT MODE
Some turnstiles may be configured for “Free-Entry or Free-Exit,” meaning there is no requirement to present ID for
passage. The
Displays will indicate PROCEED on the right-hand side of the lanes set for Free Entry or Exit.

As you enter the lane, the turnstile will sense your presence and direction allowing you to exit the
secured area of the building. Barrier will automatically. Pass through turnstile as outlined above.
Touching the barriers while passing through the turnstile may cause an Alarm.

Keep in mind that the sensors are active during Free-Entry/Exit mode. Keep any bags or packages high and
close to your body, or at your side, and avoid swinging them, as this may cause an alarm, even in Free Entry/
Exit mode.
EMERGENCY USE

During an emergency you may push through the Barriers. The hinge point will allow rotation when sufficient
force is applied to the barriers ends at center of lane, and an Alarm will sound. Follow established procedure
for emergency egress of the building.
