Optical Turnstile - Customizable - Tall Panel

Made in USA

The Optical Turnstile - Customizable - Tall Panel combines optical pedestrian detection with motorized swinging barriers to provide controlled access in interior entrances where security, appearance and efficient use of floor space are important. Its compact design is well suited for corporate offices, government facilities, financial institutions, universities, healthcare facilities and other controlled-access environments.

This customizable turnstile can be configured as a multi-lane entrance array. Passage widths can be selected according to the application, with lanes accommodating 36–42 inches.

The physical barriers are available in tempered glass or polycarbonate, with two barrier-height options of 36 inches or 46 inches. Panels can also be customized with etched logos or artwork, allowing the turnstile to coordinate with the architectural design of the facility.

Panel Height Options

Standard Panels: Optical Turnstile - Customizable

Custom Cabinet Finishes

The cabinet can be specified in stainless steel with a satin finish or powder-coated carbon steel. 

Custom Lid Options

Choose from solid surface and wood laminate tops, including Corian® color selections, to coordinate with surrounding finishes and architectural details. Custom colors and additional materials can be quoted upon request, subject to availability.

Optical Security Detection

Optical sensors monitor the lane for tailgating, wrong-way travel, and attempts to pass beneath the barriers. A multi-color indicator displays lane status, while an audible alarm and solid-state output can notify connected security equipment.

Entry and Exit Control

The controller independently configures each travel direction for controlled, free, or blocked passage. Available modes include card-in/card-out and sensor-based free-out operation.

Access-Control Integration

The Optical Turnstile - Customizable supports proximity and card readers, biometric devices, and other credential technologies, allowing it to integrate with the site’s existing access-control platform.

Fire Alarm and Emergency Egress

A dedicated fire-alarm input opens the panels outward for free egress during an emergency. Break-away operation can also be enabled, with either key-reset or timed-reset options.

Installation, Drilling and Trenching

The turnstile is intended for floor-mounted interior installation. Before installation, the equipment layout should be coordinated with architectural, electrical and access-control drawings.

For new construction, power, access-control and data conduits should be planned and stubbed up at the turnstile locations before the finished floor is installed. For retrofit projects, drilling and any required trenching should be coordinated with existing electrical services, reinforcing steel and other concealed utilities before anchoring the equipment.

Where required, baseplates or floor-protection solutions can be considered for the installation, subject to the selected configuration and applicable installation drawings. The equipment includes a visible target system for dual-axis sensor alignment, which helps simplify field installation and sensor setup.
