Access Control Integration
Single passage activation and the various other inputs and outputs available to / from the SU3500 are accessed through the I/O
control board located in the master cabinet. The required system input is a voltage-free, momentary dry contact. Outputs are also
provided in this form. In rare cases, depending on the access control system, it may be desirable to utilize isolation relays to ensure
proper system signaling. Additional information on I/O interfacing is provided later in this manual.
For select projects, a TCP/IP interface is available. This interface allows a third party access system to communicate to / from
the SU3500 using a defined TCP/IP command structure. There is an additional charge for use of the TCP/IP interface and
implementation requires programming efforts on the part of the access system provider. Instructions pertaining to the TCP/IP
interface is outside the scope of this manual.
There are two types of interfaces to allow an access control system to operate with the SU3500:
Dry Contact
TCP/IP
Network Communication
SU3500 turnstiles are TCP/IP enabled. Running Ethernet cabling to the SU3500 provides a number of benefits. (1) It allows
implementation of Alvarado’s TCP/IP control and monitoring software. (2) It allows easy implementation of SU3500 application
software updates and enhancements. If SU3500's are networked, updates can be installed over the network. (3) Alvarado has
future plans to further develop the TCP/IP capabilities of the SU3500. The benefits of this future development can only be realized
if turnstiles are networked.
Pre-Installation Requirements
The pre-installation requirements listed below must be reviewed before installing the turnstile. These notes also serve as a
checklist that must be complied with after installation. The installation site should also be evaluated before actual installation of the
turnstile to ensure that future turnstile placement is possible and installed as desired. This evaluation includes proper spacing, a
firm foundation, and separate conduit runs for power and data lines.
The following slab requirements must be taken into consideration when selecting the installation location:
•
A level solid concrete pad with a minimum thickness of 4" (102mm).
•
Use full sweep electrical conduit underneath the floor.
•
Three separate conduits for primary source power, external data, and the crossover cable must be used.
•
Cabinets must be installed plumb with the floor while level and square to each other.
