The ZKTeco TS2000 Plus Series bridge-type single-lane tripod turnstile is designed for streamlined installation and long-term durability in pedestrian access control applications across commercial facilities, factories, schools, museums, and gyms. Adhering to manufacturer structural mounting, conduit placement, and wiring specifications ensures proper mechanical drop-arm function, signal integrity, and pedestrian safety.
Site Preparation and Structural Mounting
The TS2000 Plus features cabinet dimensions of 775 mm (L) × 1100 mm (W) × 980 mm (H) with a base footprint of 260 mm × 1110 mm and a net unit weight of 30 kg. The system provides a standard passage lane width of 550 mm.
- Base Requirements: Install exclusively on a solid, level concrete foundation capable of handling the dynamic rotation of the barrier arms and the 40 kg maximum vertical weight loading rating at the arm tip.
- Floor Anchoring: Align the chassis base to the passage lane, drill anchor holes to a minimum depth of 60 mm into the concrete floor, and securely anchor the unit using M12 expansion screws. Tighten firmly with an appropriate wrench to prevent cabinet wobble during operation.
- Wall Clearance: Maintain a minimum clearance distance of 100 mm between the turnstile chassis and adjacent walls to ensure the top cover can be opened fully during routine maintenance and commissioning.
- Multi-Lane Spacing: In multiple channel layouts, maintain a minimum spacing of 100 mm between adjacent turnstile devices.
Conduit Trenching and Cable Management
Proper physical routing of cabling protects system electronics and eliminates electromagnetic interference between high-voltage power feeds and low-voltage signal lines:
- Conduit Dimensions: Create two floor conduits measuring 30 mm in width, 105 mm in length, and 100 mm in depth aligned with the turnstile base entry points.
- Piping Specification: Encase power wiring, network/Ethernet communication lines, and fire alarm signal cables within separate 20 mm diameter PVC pipes.
- Line Separation: Maintain strict segregation between strong power lines (AC mains) and weak power/signal lines (RS485, access control relays, reader data) across the entire conduit run.
Electrical Supply, Earthing, and Motherboard Connections
Unlock the chassis housing and top lid using the provided security key to access internal electrical terminals, drive mechanics, and the motherboard.
- Power Supply: Connect to 110V / 220V AC mains at 50 to 60 Hz or a DC 12V supply. The unit consumes 10 VA in standby mode and 40 VA during active rotation.
- Protective Earth: Ensure the grounding wire is securely bonded to the internal grounding terminal prior to powering on the device.
- Fire Alarm Interface: Connect the facility emergency system to the 1x Fire Alarm Relay input port (voltage-free contact). On trigger activation or AC power loss, the automatic drop-arm mechanism immediately releases the 38 mm diameter stainless steel arm to provide an open, unhindered exit path.
- Host Communication: Connect data systems via the onboard 1x RS485 communication port for remote monitoring or integration with ZKBio CVSecurity management software.
Access Controller and Reader Integration
The TS2000 Plus chassis houses integrated mounting provisions for authentication controllers and biometric or RFID readers:
- Access Controllers: Mount and wire compatible panels such as the ZKTeco C3-200, InBio 260 Pro, or third-party access control boards within the internal cabinet space.
- Reader Modules: Integrate under-mount RFID readers (ProID Series, KR Series including KR800E), fingerprint sensors (FR1200, FR1500, FR1500S), QR code scanners, or wired/wireless remote controls.
- Parameter Configuration: Configure the motherboard access modes (one-way standard, one-way free, or group user memory pass-through mode) and door open duration according to site operational requirements.
Commissioning and Inspection Checklist
Before handing over the turnstile for active operation, execute a complete post-installation inspection:
- Inspect all wire junction connectors, internal terminal blocks, and earth connections to ensure firm contact.
- Verify internal LED indicator behavior: steady green illuminates during authorized passage, and steady red illuminates when the lane or opposite direction is blocked.
- Confirm internal buzzer audio feedback during valid access triggers.
- Manually test the drop-arm emergency release and rotation mechanics, ensuring the internal protective disk is clean and all M12 expansion bolts and internal mechanical fasteners are tightened to specification.
