Tandem Full Height Pre-Installation Electrical Tips If the unit is to be electronically controlled, pre-plan how it will be wired. We provide several options for running conduit to each turnstile. Each end of the main channel is designed to accept up to two 3/4” conduits, and also allow for multiple units to be bolted together. The stationary barriers (which run vertically from the concrete to the mainframe) connects to the 2”...

Wedge Type Concrete Anchor Instructions Select a carbide drill bit with a diameter equal to the anchor diameter. Drill hole at least 1/4” deeper than nominal anchor embedment. Clean hole with pressurized air or vacuum to remove any excess dust/debris. Using the washer and nut provided, assemble the anchor, leaving nut one half turn from the end of anchor to protect threads.

Installation Instructions 1.) If needed, pour a level concrete pad at least 4” thick and 4” greater than the unit’s 2.) Unpack turnstile(s) and verify all parts are included. Use the parts checklist in the beginning of this book. 3.) Unwrap the main channel from the cardboard & foam packaging. Remove the 9x canopy diagram provided with option for proper assembly technique in that instance.

Installation Instructions (continued) 7.) Following the concrete anchor installation directions, drill each of the marked holes marked for the 3/8” anchors. Be sure to remove debris from holes before installing the anchors. 8.) Install the curved yoke assemblies onto the concrete over the anchors. Take special notice of the two screws and extra hole on one side of the yoke strap.

Installation Instructions (continued) 11.) Place assembled mainframe on top of yokes and stationary barriers. Attach barriers and yokes to cross arms by using the provided 14x 2” carriage bolts and serrated ange nuts. A 9/16“ deep wall socket will be required for this step. Unless ordered with optional canopy or yoke guards, insert black plastic plugs into the 1.125”...
