Introduction
This manual covers the physical installation process for SU3500 Optical Turnstiles. A separate
SU3500 User Guide
provides
operating instructions and additional information such as configuring turnstiles for bi-directional passage applications and monitoring
outputs. It is highly recommended that both this manual and the
SU3500 User Guide
be read in their entirety prior to beginning
installation.
There are three types of SU3500 cabinets used to create passage lanes: a master cabinet, a slave cabinet, and a center
(expansion) cabinet. A single passage lane consists of a master cabinet and a slave cabinet [Figure 1]. The center cabinet is used
to create additional passage lanes with the addition of a single cabinet [Figure 2].
Each cabinet has an unsecured and secured side. Alvarado follows what we call the “right-hand rule." User status displays and card
readers are always installed on the right-hand side as you enter the turnstile.
SU3500 Cabinets
The center portion of the master cabinet contains the main
turnstile controller, I/O control board, motor and motor control
board, power supply, sensor receivers, one moving barrier
wing, and a power switch located at the base on the secured
side.
The reveal of the master cabinet contains a user status display
that communicates lane status to the user. A card reader is
normally installed during installation underneath the lid below
the user status display.
Center cabinets contain both master and slave components.
Center cabinets are extension cabinets used in multi-lane
applications.
The center portion of the center cabinet contains the main
turnstile controller, I/O control board, two motors and two
motor control boards, power supply, sensors for both the
master and slave side of the center cabinet, two moving
barrier wings and a power switch located at the base on the
secured side.
The reveal of the center cabinet contains two user status
displays that communicate lane status to the user. Two card
readers are normally installed during installation underneath
the lid below the user status display on both sides of the
center cabinet reveal.
The center portion of the slave cabinet contains a motor and
motor control board, sensor transmitters, and one moving
barrier wing.
The reveal of the slave cabinet contains a user status display
that communicates lane status to the user. A card reader is
normally installed during installation underneath the lid below
the user status display.
