Tripod Turnstile Technical Manual
Tripod Turnstile is connected to Metra NET Network. When RFID Ticket is presented, access rights
are checked in the Metra software check engines. If valid, the unit drives its rotating barrier in
desired direction.
Passage on Tripod Turnstile for a particular ticket can also be externally controlled by 3
rd
party SW via
TCP/IP software interface. Metra software is used for event analyses and definition of operating
parameters.
Ticket retain feature allows re-using of various tickets. For that
innovative feature Metra has developed patented in 1998 contact-
less Wristband Capturer (WBC) together with contactless RFID
Wristband. The Wristband Capturer grants exit signal only when the
ticket is successfully erased and retained. This dramatically cuts
costs of the system operation and the chance of fraud. A ticket will
be retained under following conditions:
Retain request written on it/assigned to it.
It is presented to the retaining device.
