Controlled Passage, Free Passage, or No Passage modes depending on the orientation of the key. GateKeeper GateKeeper is an optional desktop application that allows Alvarado optical turnstiles to be controlled from a single PC. GateKeeper allows the control and scheduling of most day-to-day operating functions including designating a turnstile as entry or exit only, opening or closing a turnstile, and allowing single passage overrides for guests or personnel that have forgotten their access card.
Supervisor 3000 User Guide Access Control Integration There are two types of interfaces to allow an access control system to operate with the SU3000: Dry Contacts Single passage activation and the various other inputs and outputs available to / from the SU3000 are accessed through the I/O control board located in the Main cabinet.
