User Activation and Passage Instructions
Follow the steps below on how to use the turnstile.
1.
The turnstile should always be in the “Home” position before access is requested (i.e. an access control card is
presented to the card reader). If the turnstile is not in the “Home” position, manually reposition the Roto
section (the arms) to the “Home” position before requesting access (Figure 28).
2.
Request access (i.e. present an access control card to the card reader) and activate the turnstile. Listen for the
turnstile to unlock (the solenoid will “fire” and make a clicking sound) and (if applicable) look for the green
activation light.
3.
Immediately step into the turnstile (Figure 28). Keeping your arms extended, gently push on Roto arm section
“A” and slowly walk through the turnstile (Figure 28). Stay near the Yoke and take short steps. Once you
have traveled through the passage area move out of the way of the turnstile arms.
CAUTION
Never grab Roto arm section “C” and pull it in front of you. Doing this will result in the Roto section stopping
suddenly (after rotating 120°) before you are all of the way through the turnstile.
CAUTION
After walking through the turnstile, the turnstile arms will continue to rotate, completing the 120° rotation. Taking
long steps could cause the trailing arm section to strike your heels. Heel and arm guards are an option that can
be purchased from Alvarado.
4.
Step completely out of the turnstile.
CAUTION
If a patron does not complete the full rotation before the predefined delay time-out period, the turnstile will
re-lock. Based upon the actual position of the patron when the turnstile re-locks, the patron will either
complete the full rotation or will be required to back out of the turnstile and initiate another entry access
request.
