What inputs are required to integrate the Sivananda TS-1 MD (SL) with access control and fire safety systems?

Answer:
The turnstile integrates with third-party access control systems using two potential-free contact (PFC) inputs for separate entry and exit control. It also includes dedicated input integration for fire alarm system outputs to trigger the automatic drop-arm mechanism for emergency egress.

The TS-1 MD (SL) turnstile incorporates built-in logic control designed to interface directly with industrial access and building management hardware:

  • Access Control Interface: Requires two potential-free contacts (PFCs)—one for entry authorization and one for exit authorization. This architecture allows seamless integration with third-party access control panels, RFID smart card readers, barcode scanners, and biometric verification terminals.
  • Bi-directional Operational Control: Supports fully independent bidirectional access management via the dual PFC inputs.
  • Fire Alarm Integration: Connects directly to emergency and fire alarm system relay outputs. When an alarm condition is triggered, the drop-arm mechanism activates automatically to drop the horizontal barrier arm, creating an unimpeded emergency evacuation route.
