Ready to meet your “New Normal” security needs

1.
User verifies credentials, activating overhead sensor.

2.
User enters turnstile and is detected by overhead sensor, activating rotation without contact.

3.
Motorized, touchless rotation continues as user passes through turnstile.

4.
As user exits the turnstile, rotation completes cycle and relocks, ready for the next passage.

Hygienic, touch-free access control

Alvarado now offers North America’s most specified and used maximum security full height turnstile in a motorized, 100% touchless version. After presenting a valid entry credential, an overhead sensor detects the user as they enter. Rotation begins and completes automatically, eliminating the need for users to push their way through the turnstile. In free pass mode, users simply walk into the passage area. The overhead sensor detects the users presence and starts the rotation cycle, allowing exit. The result is a smooth and secure, completely touchless entry and exit passage.

Key Features and Benefits:

  • True contactless entry
  • No need to push though turnstile
  • Reduces time and costs associated with sanitizing turnstile arms
  • Overhead sensor smoothly starts motorized rotation
  • Suitable for outdoor applications
  • Provides a high throughput rate
  • Integrates with any access control system
  • Reduces staffing requirements
  • Touch-free field kits available to retrofit installed full height turnstiles
  • Quiet, safe operation
  • Single or bi-directional access control
  • Either rotation direction can be fail-safe or fail-secure

Additional Motorized, Touch-free Models:

  • MSTT, CLST, CLSTT, CPST, CPSTT

Safety

Safety you expect from Alvarado

Safe, Secure Operation

MST-TE full height turnstiles provide safe and secure, touch-free operation. The motorized rotation is smooth and controlled, and touchless operation eliminates the need for the user to touch the turnstile.

If the arms impact an object during rotation, the full height turnstile’s intelligent motor drive system detects the impact and stops the rotation. This control increases user safety. After each passage, the rotating section of the full height turnstile smoothly returns to the home position and locks in place, ready for the next user.

In secured applications, the MST-TE is typically configured for fail-lock in the entrance direction and fail-safe in the exit direction. When power is removed from the turnstile this prevents people from entering but allows personnel to exit. Turnstiles configured for fail-lock in the exit direction can also provide free egress using local key override controls. Other ordering options are available and changing between fail-lock and fail-safe is easily accomplished in the field. A dedicated input for fire systems also provides free egress in the event of emergencies.
