Abstract: Tripod turnstiles were the earliest type of access control product, and later swing gates and wing gates were developed based on them. As the earliest type of access control, tripod turnstiles still hold the largest market share, especially in locations with high anti-tailgating requirements, making them an ideal choice. The blocking arm of a tripod turnstile can lower after a power outage.
Tripod turnstiles were the earliest type of access control product, with swing gates and wing gates developed based on them. As the earliest access control system, tripod turnstiles still hold the largest market share, especially in locations with high anti-tailgating requirements, making them an ideal choice. In the event of a power outage, the blocking arm of a tripod turnstile lowers, creating a two-way unobstructed escape route, meeting fire safety requirements. Tripod turnstiles can be integrated with mainstream access control and ticketing systems, making them widely applicable to pedestrian access management and ticketing systems in places such as stadiums, banks, scenic spots, and entertainment venues.
Main Functions of Tripod Turnstiles
1: Features self-diagnosis and alarm functions for easy maintenance and use.
2: Can be connected to any control device outputting control signals, buttons, or remote controls to achieve one-way or two-way access control.
3: Can be arbitrarily set for free one-way or two-way passage.
- Automatic Reset Function: Automatically resets after every 120-degree rotation, or automatically cancels passage permission if no passage is made within a specified time (adjustable delay in multiple levels).
Light Indication: High-brightness passage light status indicator guides passage.
- Anti-Tailgating Function: Automatically locks and alarms if someone tailgates after each person who has passed through the gate after rotating 120 degrees.
- Fire Alarm Input: Can be connected to a fire alarm signal, enabling the gate to remain open without power interruption.
- Memory Function: Precise signal memory; automatically resets after detecting the last person passing through when multiple valid signals are received, significantly improving passage speed. (This function is selectable via DIP switch.)
- Alarm Notification Function: Automatically issues an alarm notification in case of illegal passage or gate overrun.
- Anti-Reverse Rotation Function: If reverse rotation occurs during passage, the gate automatically locks and alarms; passage resumes automatically after the reverse force disappears.
- Anti-buffering function: In case of unauthorized passage or gate breaching, the gate arm automatically rotates to the appropriate angle and locks, achieving a humane protection against injury. It automatically resets when the external force disappears.
- Unattended operation: The gate arm automatically lowers when power is off and automatically raises when power is on.
- Fast and quiet operation: Electric assistance, zero mechanical wear. Approximately 45-60 people/minute.
- Dynamic prompts: When a valid passage signal is received, the gate arm automatically rotates approximately 5 degrees; a light touch smoothly rotates it to the next reset point and stops.
Intelligent tripod turnstile expandable functions:
- Remote control and management via a management computer (requires command interface).
- Counting function for counting the number of people present.
- Personalized voice prompts for a more user-friendly experience.
