1. SAFETY WARNINGS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH, READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE INSTALLING, OPERATING OR SERVICING THE SECURITY ENTRANCE LANE. SAVE
THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
A number of safety precautions must be taken during the installation and use of a SmartLane
Security Entrance Lane.
1.1. USER SAFETY
•Do not cross the path of moving glass obstacles. The SmartLane Security Entrance Lane is
equipped with an unattended operation feature. The glass obstacles could move unexpectedly.
•DO NOT ENTER WHEN THE RED CROSS APPEARS. Only enter when you see the GREEN ARROW.
Employees working in the area must first be trained to use the automatic lanes. Failure to provide
such training to users can result in serious accidents or injuries.
•Due to risk of injury, unaccompanied children must not be allowed to access the lane.
•Children could place their hands on the obstacle before it is fully opened or has begun to open,
and their hands could be dragged along the obstacle and become pinched in the narrow gap of
the unit.
•Pets should not go through the lane.
1.2. TECHNICAL STAFF SAFETY
•Do not connect the equipment to a power source until instructed to do so. The SmartLane
Security Entrance Lane must be installed with permanent wiring in accordance with the local
code.
•All equipment operations must be performed by qualified personnel. All operations that are not
authorized or that are carried out by an unqualified technician shall automatically and legally void
the manufacturer’s warranty and liability.
•Ensure that the circuit breaker is turned off first before opening the housing of the SmartLane
Security Entrance Lane.
•Keep the circuit breaker turned off for any work that does not require the motor or the
programmable logic controller to be turned on.

5. Types of Units
Each lane consists of two (2) units, each of which includes a retractable glass obstacle that blocks the
passageway.
There are six (6) different types of units.
The difference between the SL 90X and the SL 91X is the width of the passageway.
•The SL 90X has a 23-in passage width.
•The SL 91X has a 36-in passage width.
•The glass obstacles of an SL 91X lane are wider than those of an SL 90X to cover the wider
passageway. This means that the body of an SL 91X will be wider as well to accommodate the
wider glass obstacle.

11. Control and Maintenance Panels
Automatic Systems offers optional control panel or maintenance panel solutions. The control panel
gives you remote access to your SmartLane Security Entrance Lane, while the maintenance panel
allows you to modify and troubleshoot your equipment. You can find more details on the functionalities
of these panels in the following documents:
•Control Panel: NAM-CP 75-TM-EN
•Maintenance Panel: NAM-MP 38-TM-EN
12. Operational Modes
The SmartLane Security Entrance Lane controls bi-directional access for pedestrians with or without
luggage, thereby guaranteeing high levels of security and safety.
There are three (3) operational modes for each passage direction: free, controlled and locked. These
modes can be easily configured from the control panel or maintenance panel.
•Free: The obstacles are closed but open when a user is detected in the lane.
•Controlled: The door will remain closed unless a passage authorization is granted by an access
control system (e.g., card reader system).
•Locked: The door will remain closed. Passage in the locked direction is not possible.
1. The programmable logic controller manages the opening of the gate.
Depending on the gate’s configuration, requests for passage can be sent:
•When the first detection photocells detects a user (free mode)
•By a push button (controlled mode)
•By an access control device (card reader, bar code reader or biometric reader) (controlled mode)
•By remote control (controlled mode)

2. If the passage is authorized, the function pictogram changes to green.
Note that the function and the orientation pictogram will turn red in the opposite direction to
prevent a passage in the opposite direction.
3. The moving glass obstacle opens.
4. Upon passage authorization, a timer is activated.
5. The passage must be performed before the expiration of the timer.
6. If a passage is underway, the SlimLane monitors that:
•There is no unauthorized use during the passage
•The user leaves the lane
•There is no one in front of the moving glass obstacle
7. Upon completion of the passage, or if the delay is expired and if there is nothing detected in the
safety zone, the moving glass obstacles close.
8. The lane returns to standby status.
In the event of a power outage or an evacuation order (coming from an external
switch), the glass obstacle is automatically and immediately reopened.

13. Proper Use
1. Prior to using the SmartLane Security Entrance Lane, the user should always check the lane status:
•If the function pictogram shows a white badge sign and the orientation pictogram shows a
green arrow, the user must badge in and wait for the function pictogram to turn green to enter
the lane
•If the function pictogram shows a green badge and the orientation pictogram shows a green
arrow, the user is authorized to enter the lane
•If the function pictogram shows a red badge and the orientation pictogram shows a red cross,
the user must stay out of the lane and wait for the pictograms to return to one of the previous
states
2. Once the user receives authorization to enter the lane, the user must badge in (if required) and
promptly complete the passage.
3. The next user must repeat steps 1 and 2.

14. Unauthorized Uses
An unauthorized use is only generated in automatic mode. There are three (3) categories of
unauthorized uses:
•Intrusion: Unauthorized use without passage through the obstacle
•Fraud: Unauthorized use with passage through the obstacle
•Infraction: Unauthorized action not associated with a passage direction
When an unauthorized use is detected in any direction, the following happens simultaneously:
1. The obstacle closes if no one is detected in the safety zone
2. A buzzer sounds for the duration of a preset timer. After the timer expires, the buzzer will turn off,
but an alarm will remain on until the unauthorized use is stopped. The alarm will sound:
•Continuously for an intrusion
•Intermittently for a fraud or infraction
3. The function pictograms change to red
•Information about the unauthorized use can be accessed from the Master programmable logic
controller via the control or maintenance panel.
After the unauthorized use has been resolved:
1. The function pictogram maintains its status for approximately one (1) second
2. The gate returns to its normal status before the unauthorized use
•The previous passage requests are saved
