Dual Lane Tripod Turnstile

Dual Lane Tripod Turnstile | One Unit, Two-Way Access

 

The Dual Lane Tripod Turnstile is an efficient and secure pedestrian access control solution. Built with 304 stainless steel, it supports independent bidirectional access in a single unit - widely used on construction sites, in scenic spots, residential communities, office buildings, gyms, and more. It integrates easily with card swiping, facial recognition, QR code scanning, and other identification methods.

 

 

1. Independent Control for Two Lanes

The Dual Lane Tripod Turnstile features two independent lanes within one housing - each side can be set to different directions. You can configure one lane for entry and the other for exit, or set both for entry or exit only, adapting flexibly to peak hours, holidays, and different traffic patterns.

 

2. Plug‑and‑Play Reader Integration

This turnstile supports the Wiegand protocol, making it compatible with most mainstream readers - card, facial recognition, QR code, fingerprint, and more. No custom development or signal converter is needed. Just connect and it works.

 

3. High Traffic Capacity - No Queues

The Dual Lane Tripod Turnstile delivers approximately 30 people per minute per lane. With both lanes operating, it handles over 60 people per minute - no morning rush jams, no exit bottlenecks, perfect for high‑foot‑traffic locations.

 

4. Automatic Fail‑Safe for Fire Safety

The unit comes with a standard drop‑arm function. During power outages or upon receiving a fire alarm signal, the arms drop immediately, fully opening the passage for rapid evacuation - fully compliant with fire safety codes.

 

5. Simple, Half‑Day Installation

Installing the Dual Lane Tripod Turnstile is straightforward: embed the conduits, position the unit, connect power and signal cables, level it, and secure it. Two people can complete the installation of one dual‑lane unit within half a day.

 

6. Modular Design for Easy Maintenance

It is built with a modular structure - the mechanism, mainboard, power supply, and springs can be individually replaced without dismantling the whole unit. Routine upkeep requires only periodic screw checks, with no complex maintenance tasks.

 

7. Rugged & Reliable in All Conditions

The Dual Lane Tripod Turnstile is made of 304 stainless steel - rust‑proof, corrosion‑resistant, and impact‑resistant. It operates reliably across a wide temperature range (-20°C to 65°C) and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, including harsh conditions.

1. Pre-Installation Preparation

Ground Treatment: The installation surface must be level (tolerance ≤3mm), preferably hardened concrete with strength ≥C20.

Conduit Pre-Burial: Pre-embed conduits containing:

Power cable: 3×1.5mm² copper wire for 220V AC

Control cable: 4×0.5mm² shielded wire (for access control/identification devices)

Installation Spacing: Reserve 550~600mm for the passage width, and ≥100mm maintenance space on both sides of the device.

 

2. Installation Steps

Positioning & Drilling: Mark and drill holes according to the base mounting holes, pre-embed M10 expansion bolts (4 pieces per unit).

Securing the Device: Align the turnstile base with the bolts, install flat washers and spring washers, then tighten the nuts to ensure the device is stable without shaking.

Wiring & Debugging (Power Off Operation):

Connect the power cable (Live L / Neutral N / Ground PE).

Connect the access control/identification device signals (dry contact / 12V level signal, refer to the mainboard labels).

Connect the optional fire linkage signal to enable automatic opening during power failure or fire alarm.

Power-On Test:

Verify normal power supply voltage and no short circuits before powering on.

Test opening/closing actions, adjust the turnstile arm to a horizontal position to ensure smooth operation without jamming.

 

 

1. Basic Passage Process

The user verifies identity via card swiping, face recognition, or QR code scanning for the dual lane tripod turnstile .

The turnstile receives the opening signal, unlocks the corresponding direction core, allowing the arm to rotate.

The user pushes the arm to pass through, and the arm automatically resets and locks after passage.

If the user fails to pass within the set time (adjustable, default 10s), the turnstile automatically resets and locks.

 

2. Core Function Settings

Function	Description
Passage Direction Configuration	Supports unidirectional/bidirectional passage, or time-based access permission settings.
Automatic Reset Time	Adjustable lock time after opening without passage (1~60s).
Alarm Function	Audible and visual alarms trigger on forced entry or invalid card swiping, with backend linkage available.
Fire Linkage	Automatically unlocks/drops the arm upon receiving fire signal or power failure to ensure emergency passage.
Counting Function	Optional passage counting, supporting external LED display integration.

 

3. Emergency Handling

Power Outage Scenario: Semi-automatic models allow manual pushing of the arm for passage; fully automatic models can be equipped with optional power-off drop arm modules for automatic release.

Device Failure: Use the manual key to open the cabinet, manually unlock the core, or activate the bypass passage.

 

 

Daily Cleaning: Wipe the cabinet surface with a dry cloth weekly; avoid direct water flushing on the core components.

Core Maintenance: Check for loose screws on the core every 3 months, and lubricate rotating parts with special core lubricant.

Turnstile Arm Inspection: Check for arm deformation and loose screws to prevent impact damage to the core.

Electrical Inspection: Check for oxidized terminals and aging power cables every 6 months, ensuring proper grounding.

 

 

Fault Phenomenon	Possible Causes	Solutions
No opening after card swiping	1. Access control signal not connected/abnormal; 2. Power failure; 3. Core jammed	1. Check the access control controller output signal; 2. Measure power supply voltage; 3. Power off and inspect core jamming
Jammed/Noisy arm movement	1. Core lack of lubrication; 2. Arm deformation; 3. Uneven installation surface	1. Add core lubricant; 2. Correct or replace the arm; 3. Readjust the device level
No response after power-on	1. Loose power connection; 2. Circuit breaker tripped; 3. Mainboard failure	1. Check power wiring; 2. Reset the circuit breaker; 3. Contact the manufacturer for mainboard replacement
No reset after passage	1. Reset time set too long; 2. Sensor failure; 3. Fatigued core spring	1. Adjust the reset time parameter; 2. Inspect the position sensor; 3. Replace the core spring

Installation and maintenance must be performed by professional electricians; always power off before wiring to avoid electric shock or device damage.

Do not violently impact the arm; prevent children from climbing or shaking the device to avoid core damage or safety accidents.

Outdoor installation requires a rain shelter to prevent direct water immersion, extending the service life.

Do not disassemble the core independently in case of abnormalities; contact the manufacturer's after-sales service promptly.
