Signal Inputs and Outputs To / From Access Control System
Inputs
- Signal inputs from outside systems are wired into the SU3500’s I/O control board. There are two types of input
signals, momentary dry contacts (MDC) and sustained dry contacts (SDC). All input signals must be normally open, voltage-
free, dry contacts, with the exception of the fire alarm input, which can be configured (via jumper on the I/O control board) to
accept either a normally open or normally closed sustained contact. MDC’s must be at least 100ms in duration to register.
While the SU3500 can accept signals up to 2 seconds in duration, the suggested MDC input duration is 1 second or less to
support rapid throughput in high volume applications.
Outputs
– Signal outputs are available from the SU3500’s I/O control board. Outputs are normally open, voltage-free,
momentary dry contacts. The output signal length is 300ms in duration.
Inability to Provide Specified Inputs
- If the access control system does not have dry contact outputs, isolation relays
should be used. NEVER connect signal lines containing voltage directly to the I/O control board.
Network Communication
A networked PC with Alvarado's TCP/IP control and monitoring software is required. Adhere to IEEE standards for network cabling
requirements.
It is the installer's responsibility to ensure the following steps are completed before beginning the installation.
Card readers or other physical access devices may be installed in the reveal, under the lid on either or both right-hand sides of
the lane. Card readers / physical access devices are not supplied by Alvarado. Generally, mullion sized card readers are installed
inside the cabinet. For larger-sized card readers, contact Alvarado to verify compatibility prior to installation.
The physical dimensions of the card reader cannot exceed:
1.00" H x 2.75" W x 6.25" D (25mm x 70mm x 159mm).
All personnel that will be involved with operating the SU3500 should be trained in the proper method of operation. Detailed
operation instructions are outside the scope of this manual, but can be found in the
SU3500
User Guide
(also included with the
product). If further training is desired, contact Alvarado for information regarding on-site training services.
1.
All components and hardware to be installed have been unpacked, correctly identified, and moved to the installation location.
2.
The turnstile configuration and layout has been confirmed with the site manager.
3. All applicable requirements in the Pre-Installation Requirements section have been met.
Environmental Requirements
• DO
NOT
install the product outdoors. This product is intended for indoor use only.
• DO NOT
install the SU3500 where infrared lighting (strobe lights, flash photography, etc.) is in the direct path
of the
optical sensors. Interference may affect the performance of the turnstile.
The following are suggested operating temperature and humidity ranges for the SU3500:
Operation
Non-Operation/Storage
Temperature Range
10° - 32°C / 50° - 90°F
0° - 40°C / 32° - 104°F
Humidity Range (Non-Condensing)
15% - 85% RH
--
Operating the SU3500 outside the suggested temperature and humidity ranges may negatively affect
turnstile performance and could potentially cause damage to turnstile components.
CAUTION
