Alvarado's EDC turnstiles are the perfect choice for high volume patron counting applications. The EDC (shown at right) and EDC Bullnose (shown below) feature precision cast internal components, a smooth, hydraulically dampened arm rotation, and a very comfortable patron passage width.

For installations were power is not available, the EDC uses a mechanical microswitch to output counts to a local battery powered digital counter, and/or Alvarado's GateWatch™ computerized patron counting software.

For applications where power is available, electrically
controlled EDCX models utilize a state-of-the-art controller
with opto-interrupter rotation detection. This feature,
offered exclusively by Alvarado, eliminates the need for mechanical microswitches and the accompanying adjustments that are often required.

All EDC models are available as fixed or portable units, and may be ordered in extended configurations, with longer arms and cabinets. Cabinets are available in satin stainless steel, as well as a variety of durable powder coat finishes.

Alvarado's Supervisor 500 optical counting turnstiles provide highly accurate entry and exit counts. Because they are barrier free, SU500 lanes have a higher patron throughput rate than conventional turnstiles.

The SU500 Series recognizes tailgating and can differentiate between objects and people. For single or bi-directional operation.

The SU500CL is the center-lane version of the SU500.

It uses less space for multi-lane configurations because center cabinets contain a sending unit for one passage lane and receiving unit for adjacent lane.

SU500 series turnstiles work with Alvarado's GateWatch™ software.

Single lane units are often ordered as a portable turnstile, with base plate and power/communication ports for quick connection/setup.
