The eSSL ET-2033 Bridge Tripod Turnstile is engineered for seamless electrical, physical, and signal integration into industrial and commercial access control infrastructures. Built around an internal 32-bit microprocessor primary controller, the turnstile accepts standard industrial control inputs and provides synchronized status feedback outputs for turnstile management systems, automated gates, and facility monitoring software.
Biometric & Reader Terminal Interfacing
The ET-2033 is factory-configured to integrate directly with eSSL uFace facial recognition terminals, including models such as the uFace 302. In addition to facial recognition devices, the integrated 32-bit primary controller accepts standard dry contact opening signals. This dry contact architecture enables integration with external third-party access control controllers, RFID card readers, barcode scanners, and push-button consoles without requiring proprietary protocol converters.
Primary Controller Signal & Hardware Interfaces
The onboard primary controller operates in semi-automatic mode to regulate the electro-magnetic DC drive mechanism. It includes dedicated onboard terminal blocks for peripheral and signaling equipment:
- Opening Signal Input: Dry contact input for lane unlocking in single-way or bidirectional transit configurations.
- Direction Indicator Output: Drives visual direction indicators to signal pedestrian passage authorization and lane availability.
- Passing Indicator Output: Transmits real-time passage completion signals to connected access controllers for accurate headcount auditing and anti-tailgating tracking.
- Emergency Switch Input: Hardware-level dry contact trigger dedicated to life safety overrides.
- Drop Arm Electromagnet Output: Dedicated output controlling the fail-safe electromagnet mechanism. Upon an emergency input trigger or AC power failure, the electromagnet cuts power to release the horizontal arm downward, leaving a 550 mm clear egress lane.

Power & Electrical Requirements
The turnstile requires a primary AC line voltage of 100 V to 240 V AC at 50/60 Hz. The unit internally steps down power to a 24 V operational DC voltage driving the primary controller logic and the electro-magnetic DC mechanism. With a maximum power consumption rating of 30 W, the system can be deployed onto low-load auxiliary power circuits or continuous online uninterruptible power supplies (UPS).
Mechanical & Environmental Installation Parameters
The ET-2033 features a bridge-style casework manufactured from SUS 304 grade stainless steel with dimensions of 1200 mm (L) x 280 mm (W) x 980 mm (H) excluding barrier arms. Designed for floor-mounted deployment using anchor bolts on plain, level concrete flooring, the chassis supports a clear passage width of 550 mm. The 3-arm tripod rotor rotates at 120 degrees per passage cycle and supports a mechanical load tolerance of up to 80 kg on the barrier arms. Rated to IP54 ingress standards with an operational temperature profile spanning -25°C to +70°C, the ET-2033 conforms to CE, FCC, and RoHS industrial electronic benchmarks.
