EDC Installation and Maintenance Instructions Operations and Functionality Passage Modes Electric turnstiles may be configured for any combination of the following passage modes: Controlled Passage - The arms are locked in the home position. Upon receipt of an authorization signal from an access control system, the turnstile unlocks in the appropriate direction allowing a single passage.
EDC Installation and Maintenance Instructions Local Battery Counter (Optional) A lithium battery-powered LCD counter can be installed on electric and non-electric models. Each rotation of the turnstile arm generates a count. One counter is required per direction. Counters can be ordered as reset or non-reset versions.
Cleaning and Maintenance Maintenance Schedule In order to maximize the longevity of the turnstile, Alvarado recommends adhering to the following maintenance schedule. The maintenance schedule is based on what we would consider a typical installation, which is in a temperate climate with usage averaging 7500 activations per week.
“passive.” Passive means that the surface is resistant to corrosive reactions (such as rust). To chemically passivate stainless steel, Alvarado recommends the use of a citric acid product called CitriSurf2310, available from Stellar Solutions at www.citrisurf.com. This product is especially formulated to clean and passivate stainless steel and can be used in the field.
EDC Installation and Maintenance Instructions Cleaning and Maintenance (cont.) Interior Maintenance 5) Verify threaded rods are torqued to 80 ft-lbs. Using a torque wrench (ft-lbs.) and 15/16” socket, verify the threaded rods are torqued to 80 ft-lbs. NOTE This procedure requires the junction box / transformer be removed in order to access the left- hand threaded rod.
Interior Maintenance (cont.) 10) Lubricate turnstile pivot points, roller bearings, and solenoid plungers. Alvarado strongly recommends DuPont Teflon Non-Stick Dry-Film Lubricant (Liquid Form) be used when lubricating the turnstile. This lubricant does not leave an oily film and creates a dirt-resistant coating.
EDC Installation and Maintenance Instructions Interior Maintenance (cont.) 11) Apply DeoxIT to all turnstile control board terminals and wire harnesses. DeoxIT is a contact cleaner / lubricant that is quite beneficial for power and data connections. Yearly applications of this product is strongly recommended in locations with harsh weather or high levels of air-borne contaminants.
