INFORMATION: dFlow is a reliable device and it can be supplied with the option of normally closed doors dFlow is the first access control device that fits perfectly into the Free Flow concept. Although it appears that dFlow is always open, it has doors. They are activated only when one or more unauthorized persons, including “rider users”, attempt...

It can be configured for unidirectional and bi-directional access and with any passage width, from the traditional 500mm to 900mm (PNE passage). By identifying multiple users, including PNEs, a 900mm dFlow can be used by common users with the same 500mm dFlow identification efficiency. Using dFlow with its exclusive system of normally open doors in wider configurations allows passage comfort for users, even going in opposite directions.
5.1 Operation of dFlow Figure 01 dFlow, for opening and closing the doors, uses the exclusive motor control that enables a controlled, soft, quiet and comfortable turn for the user. The drive unit is driven via direct current but converted through the drive to PWM signals for subsequent drive of the coil assemblies.
6.1 Opening the package Since dFlow is configurable equipment, it is extremely important that careful visual inspection be done before starting the installation and assembly process. Digicon’s packaging is accompanied by a checklist, which guides this inspection. If any part is missing, contact a Digicon sales representative immediately.

The instruction pictogram is installed at the ends of the equipment and is represented by a green arrow > or red x. The red pictogram informs the user that dFlow is not operating in this direction or that at the moment his/her passage is not allowed or that it is busy.
Despite compatibility with most of the currently available access control technologies, Digicon also offers a number of optional items that allow enhancing and tailoring the operation of dFlow to customer needs. The following is a description of each of these items.
Figure 30 7.4 Bar Code Reader The barcode used in dFlow is a 1D reader and also a 2D reader. The 2D reader, for example, is widely used in equipment installed at airports, because a QR code is printed on the boarding pass.
Figure 32 7.6 MCA MCA (Access Control Module) is a technology developed by Digicon to maximize the task of integrating access control systems that require processing power, agility in data manipulation and transfer, flexibility in the choice of aggregate technologies and, mainly, independence from the manufacturer when developing, changing and updating applications.
