The Magnetic MPP 222 motorized tripod turnstile is delivered factory-assembled and pre-configured to minimize on-site deployment time. Because factory options are pre-installed and primary parameters are preset prior to dispatch, installation teams can conduct physical positioning, electrical connections, and field validation with minimal downtime across outdoor perimeter checkpoints.
Footprint, Clearances, and Mounting Requirements
The MPP 222 features a robust SS 304 stainless steel housing engineered for outdoor environments. When planning pedestrian walkway lanes, system integrators must account for the physical footprint and clear passage geometry:
- Cabinet Dimensions: 1100 mm length × 260 mm width × 1000 mm height
- Passage Width: 515 mm clearance for individualized pedestrian transit
- Physical Weight: Approximately 60 kg
- Environmental Protection: IP 44 enclosure rating for outdoor deployment
- Operating Temperature Range: −30 °C to +55 °C
Units should be leveled and anchored securely to a solid concrete surface capable of supporting the 60 kg structural mass and dynamic forces generated by continuous pedestrian throughput.
Power Supply and Electrical Hookup
Electrical wiring requires standard single-phase AC line voltage. The internal electronics and MHTM™ drive system operate with high electrical efficiency, requiring minimal operating energy:
- Supply Voltage: 100 – 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz wide-range utility input
- Maximum Power Consumption: 30 W
- Duty Cycle Rating: 100% continuous duty rating
Conduits for mains power and low-voltage signal lines should enter through the designated base access cutouts within the SS 304 housing to maintain the IP 44 weather-resistance profile.
MGC Control System and Access Control Interfacing
The integrated MGC controller provides extensive interface flexibility to connect directly with third-party badge readers, ticketing scanners, biometric terminals, and perimeter management systems. Installers have direct access to standard onboard terminal points:
- Digital Inputs: 8 configurable digital inputs for external authorization triggers, sensors, and direction control
- Digital Outputs: 4 digital outputs for operational status signaling and throughput reporting
- Relay Outputs: 6 relay outputs for dry-contact signaling, peripheral interlocks, or status lights
- Passage Configurations: Field-selectable uni-directional or bi-directional access
- Network Expansion: Accepts an optional Ethernet module for direct IP-based network connectivity
Because the MPP 222 utilizes the exact same MGC control architecture found across Magnetic vehicle barrier lines, maintenance staff and installation engineers benefit from standardized board layouts, reducing training demands across unified facility sites.
Life Safety and Emergency Release Wiring
For facility safety compliance, the turnstile features integrated emergency release logic. External emergency break-glass units or central fire alarm panels wire into dedicated dry-contact inputs on the MGC board. The barrier mechanism automatically frees rotation upon a utility power outage or upon the closing of connected alarm contacts. If ordered with the optional drop-arm assembly, the upper barrier arm drops down under emergency alarm triggers or electrical failure to provide a completely unobstructed exit path.
On-Board Display Commissioning
Commissioning does not require a service laptop or proprietary programming adapter cables. Installers configure direction modes, rotational behavior, sensitive impact detection thresholds, and access timing directly via the MGC controller's built-in graphic display and navigation buttons. The onboard control firmware includes integrated error logging, event logging, and throughput data acquisition as standard tools for operational validation prior to lane handover.
