SW1000 Overview
The SW1000 is a motorized pedestrian gate that provides single direction or bi-directional access control. In the closed
or "home" position, the barrier is held in place by motor force. Upon receipt of a dry contact input from an access
control system or input device such as a push button, the motorized barrier opens 90 degrees away from the signal
direction.
The SW1000 is an ideal product to provide disabled or delivery access in conjunction with Alvarado's waist high or
optical turnstiles.

Digital Position Encoder
The digital position encoder continually monitors the position of the barrier and works in conjunction with the
motor and motor controller board to accomplish precise barrier movement.
Motor
The DC brushless motor operates the drive system moving the barrier.
Primary Power Terminal Block (TB9)
This terminal block is used to provide an output signal when the barrier is forced open. The output signal is a
voltage-free, normally open, momentary dry contact.
Access Control Terminal Block (TB3)
This terminal block is used to connect access control wiring to the gate. Terminals are provided for Open Entry,
Open Exit, and Emergency Override signals.
Optional Sensor Terminal Block (TB2)
This terminal block provides a connection point for the optional Exit Free Passage Sensor.
Conguration Terminal Block (TB1)
This terminal block is used for two purposes: 1) to congure the emergency override signal state as either
normally open or normally closed, and 2) to provide a connection point for a button device capable of providing
a sustained dry contact signal for keeping the gate open as long as the button is pressed.
Power Supply
The 24V power supply converts primary power to 24V low-voltage power for motor operation.
I/O - Motor Controller Board
This board serves as the interface point between the gate and the facility access control system, and works in
conjunction with the digital position encoder and motor to control barrier movement.
Communication Crossover Terminal Block (TB6)
Used to connect the communication crossover cable from the master gate to slave gate.
DC Power Crossover Terminal Block (TB6)
Used to connect the DC power crossover cable from the master gate to slave gate.

A summary of SW1000 functionality is presented below.
Barrier Breakaway
The SW1000 utilizes motor force to provide resistance against a user pushing or pulling the barrier open. When the
barrier is forced, an alarm sounds and the barrier "breaks away" allowing the barrier to move freely. An output is
generated from the TB9 terminal block for monitoring purposes. After a dened time (4 seconds is the default), the
gate resets and resumes normal operation. The force it takes to push or pull the barrier open is congurable using
SwingGate Utility.
Barrier Impact
Should the barrier encounter an obstruction while opening or closing, the barrier will stop moving and an alarm will
sound. After a dened period, the barrier resets and the gate resumes normal operation.
Fire Alarm / Emergency Override
Activation to open the gate in conjunction with a re alarm / emergency override signal is achieved by supplying
a sustained dry contact signal to the appropriate input on the access control terminal block (TB3). When the input
signal is received, the gate opens in the exit direction and remains open until the input signal is removed. When the
input signal is removed, the gate resumes normal operation.
The SW1000 default conguration for re alarm / emergency override input signals is normally open, but can be
congured to interface with normally closed input signals using the conguration terminal block (TB2).
Power Failure
When power is removed from the unit, the SW1000 barrier moves freely in either direction. When pushed or pulled to
the open position, the barrier remains open. When power is restored, the gate resumes normal operation.
Barrier Cycle
Barrier cycle refers to the period of time it takes for the barrier to open or close. Barrier open and close settings can
be dened using the SwingGate Utility.
Dwell Time
Dwell time refers to the period of time the barrier remains in the open position (allowing a user to pass through the
gate) before returning to the closed position. Dwell time can be congured using SwingGate Utility.
Barrier Hold Open
After an Open Entry or Open Exit activation, the gate is held open indenitely using an integrated toggle switch (not
supplied by Alvarado). When the toggle is released, the barrier returns to the home position. Typically, this is used to
allow delivery personnel or a group of visitors entry/exit to the facility without credentials.
Security Alarm
The Security Alarm sounds when the barrier is pushed or pulled beyond the user-dened position. The Security Alarm
position can be congured using SwingGate Utility..

Signal Inputs and Outputs To / From Access Control System
Inputs - Signal inputs from outside systems are wired into the TB1 and TB3 terminal blocks. There are two types
of input signals: momentary dry contacts (MDC) and sustained dry contacts (SDC). All input signals must be
normally open, voltage-free, dry contacts, with the exception of the re alarm input, which can be congured (via
TB1-5 terminal) to accept either a normally open or normally closed sustained contact. MDCs must be at least
100ms in duration to register.
Barrier Breakaway Output – This output is found on the TB9 terminal block. Signal output is normally open,
voltage-free, momentary dry contact. The output signal length is 500ms in duration.
It is the installer's responsibility to ensure the following steps are completed before beginning the
installation.
1. All components and hardware have been unpacked, correctly identied, and moved to the installation location.
2. The gate conguration and layout has been conrmed with the site manager.
3. All pre-Installation requirements have been met.

Receipt of an input signal keeps the gate open in
the appropriate direction for as long as the contact
signal is sustained. Typically, these signals are
provided by an integrated toggle button used to keep
the gate open for an indenite period of time.
Receipt of an input contact (or removal of a contact)
places the gate in Emergency Override mode in
which the barrier remains open. The direction the
barrier opens can be congured using SwingGate
Utility. Typically, the building re system is wired
into this contact point. This input can be congured
as either normally open (N.O.) or normally closed
(N.C.) as required by the re alarm system using the
TB1 terminal block (see Emergency Override State
Select on next page).
