This manual covers the physical installation process for UltraQ-AMT IntelligentAdmission Turnstiles. At the end of this
process, you will be able to power up the turnstile and perform a basic functions check to validate certain aspects of
operation.
Overview
Alvarado's Motorized Intelligent Admission Turnstiles are networked devices that communicate with the validation server
using wired or wireless TCP/IP. How a turnstile communicates with the network (wired or wireless) is dependent on the
options specied during the ordering process and the type of network used at the host facility. The turnstile will ship pre-
congured with any network settings provided to Alvarado during the ordering process.
When powered up, the turnstile should automatically connect to the server (provided the server is online). Network
conguration and troubleshooting is outside the scope of this manual. If you require additional information or instruction,
seek direction from your network administrator or project manager.
Communication
The turnstile is powered in one of three ways:
• Primary power - Primary power is run to the turnstile location via conduit and connected to terminal block located
inside the turnstile cabinet. Applicable to xed installations only.
• AC outlet - The turnstile is connected to anAC outlet using an exterior mounted AC inlet and extension cord.
Applicable to portable installations only.
• Rechargeable battery - The battery is charged by connecting to anAC outlet using an exterior mounted AC inlet
and extension cord. Applicable to portable installations only.
Before you begin, understand how your turnstiles will be powered. This manual focuses on primary power connection for
the basis of instruction. Instructions on AC outlet and battery connections can be found in the Appendices.

11. Hand o󰀨 instruction manuals to the project or site
manager.
Installation Steps

UltraQ-AMT Installation Instructions
Page 7 For Assistance: [email protected] [phone] PUD4477 R1.0
Use only skilled technicians for site preparation and installation of the turnstile using Alvarado’s instructions. Refer
to the footprint and plan drawings [Fig. 1] & [Fig. 2] to determine the installation location and conduit requirements.
See Appendix A - Portable Base Turnstile section on page 28 for footprint and plan drawings for the Portable Base
Turnstile.
• Use a level, solid concrete pad with minimum size of 3' x 3' and a minimum thickness of 4" (101.5mm).
• Do not install the turnstile on asphalt.
• There must 2" (50.8mm) of clearance between the turnstile arm and the adjacent turnstile or barrier [Fig. 1].
• Stub up conduit in accordance with local electrical codes.
• Always verify the layout of the turnstile(s) before installation.

Depending on whether you are installing xed or portable turnstiles, certain sections of this manual may not be
applicable to your installation.
• For xed turnstile installations, proceed to the Site Preparation section on page 7.
• For portable turnstile installations, proceed to Appendix A - Portable Base Turnstile on page 24.

Anchoring the Turnstile
1. Using a #1 Phillips-head screwdriver, unlatch the
four quarter-turn fasteners that secure the access
panel to the turnstile cabinet [Fig. 5]. The screws
will remain attached to the access panel.
2. Using a socket wrench with a 9/16" deep socket,
remove the four (2) bolts that secure the temporary
wood plate to the turnstile. Discard the wood plate.
3. Place the turnstile in the desired location. Check
that the turnstile is level and does not rock. If the
turnstile is not level, shimming will be required
before anchoring.

5. Move the turnstile to the side.
6. Using a hammer drill tted with a 5/8” concrete bit,
drill each anchor hole to a depth of 3” (76.2mm).
7. Using a shop vac, vacuum debris from the anchor
holes before installing the anchors. If the holes
are not clear of debris, the anchors may not
tighten properly.
8. Insert anchors into the drilled holes with the
threaded ends down. If needed, use a hammer
to tap the anchors into place. Ensure that the
anchors are ush with the concrete oor [Fig. 7].
9. Return the turnstile to the install location, ensuring
the anchors holes are aligned.
10. Route primary power wiring and network cable (if
using) through the appropriate conduit opening
into the turnstile. Primary power wiring will be
connected in later steps.
11. Insert anchor bolts.
12. Using a torque wrench (ft-lbs.) and 9/16” deep
socket, torque the threaded rods to 20 ft.-lbs.
13. For outdoor installations, apply a thick bead of
clear RTV silicone around the base of turnstile
base to seal.

1. Locate the six-pole primary power terminal block [Fig. 8].
2. Using a precision at-head screwdriver, connect primary
power wires according to [Fig. 9] and [Table 1].

Control Board Description
Signal Inputs and Outputs
To / From Access Control System
Inputs - J4 Terminal Block
Signal inputs are wired into the EDM’s
I/O input terminal block. 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.

NEVER connect signal lines
containing voltage directly to
the I/O terminal strips. This will
damage the circuit board.
NOTE

The J16 connector is used to connect
your computer to the EDM using the
provided serial cable. This connection
allows it to connect with the EDM Utility.

Wiring the Control Board for Emergency Override
Emergency alarm systems, such as re alarms or life safety systems, can be connected to the AMT's control board.
If the alarm is triggered and provides a sustained dry contact to the correct port on the controller board, the AMT will
drop its arms to create a free passage to allow guests to exit the facility rapidly.
The dry contact signal to the emergency override pin can be normally open or normally closed. The EMROVR pin is
normally open by default.

Post-Installation Inspection
Perform this post-installation inspection BEFORE powering on the turnstile for the rst time.
1. Anchoring (xed installations only): Verify the anchor bolts are tensioned to 20 ft-lbs. Tighten if necessary.
2. UltraQ: Verify the mounting hardware is secure. Tighten if necessary.
3. Dust, Dirt, & Debris: While the unit is powered down, open the cabinet panel to reveal the interior electronics.
Blow any dirt, dust, and small debris out of the turnstile with low-pressure compressed air such as Dust-O󰀨.
4. Wiring: Inspect all wires and contacts for exposure to any metal parts that may lead to a short.
Perform the following checks to verify the turnstile is performing properly. Function checks are included for optional
peripherals and may not be applicable to your installation. If any problems are encountered, please refer to the
Troubleshooting section on page 23.
The following is assumed:
• The validation server is online and congured for use.
• The network is up and running.
• Sample credentials (i.e. barcode tickets, RFID cards, NFC tickets, etc.) are available and have been
congured as valid credentials in the validation application.
• The turnstile passed the Post-Installation Inspection.
WHEN THE TURNSTILE IS POWERED ON, THEARMS ROTATE FOR THE DURATION OF THE
BOOT UP PROCESS. BEFORE POWERING ON, PLEASE MAKE SURE THEAREA IS CLEAR
OF PERSONS OR PROPERTY.
