4. INTRODUCTION
The tripod turnstiles in the TriLane range are designed for deterrent and economical access control, and allow the
incorporation of control equipment such as proximity readers, barcode scanners, badge collectors, etc. .
The assembly is finished to a level that ensures proper sealing and acoustic insulation from the surrounding environment.
The rotation control mechanism for the arms is the result of many years' experience in the development and manufacture
of access control equipment and the marketing of tens of thousands of units in all corners of the world.
The mechanical and electronic assembly is located in the central part of the tripod, under the protective cover, and
therefore out of reach for users; the connection and the fixation to the ground do not require any particular construction
work.
The mechanism, which has a robust and reliable design, can be integrated into two bodywork models:
• The compact version with single leg, called TL1 in this manual;
• The version with two legs, allowing easier integration of one or two readers, and called TL2 in this manual.
The design is nevertheless modular, because the same kinematic assembly is found in the TL1 and TL2 models.
Many configurations and options are available to cover all cases that are likely to be encountered in pedestrian access
control: functional pictograms, motorised movement, dropping arms, presence detection, full stainless steel finish...

4.3. CONVENTIONS
The figure below illustrates what is meant by passage in directions A and B. The optional reader, which is always placed
to the right of the passage in direction A, will generally be incorporated under the cover of the TriLane in the uncontrolled
area.
The optional reader in direction B (exit direction) will generally be placed inside the same housing, even when a battery of
several TriLane is installed, in order to avoid connections between housings and installing an additional equipment at the
end of the battery. However, other layouts are possible on request.

The TriLane turnstile can be configured in 5 operating modes in each direction of passage. Some modes have an impact
on the assembly of the kinematic assembly, and the desired configuration should therefore be specified when ordering
the product.
Code Description Comment
1 Access always free. The locking mechanism is not installed
2 Access always blocked The locking mechanism is present, but without
electro-magnet
3 Access always blocked when power is on,
and free when power is off.
The lock and the electro-magnet are present.
4 Access controlled electrically and
blocked when power is off.
The lock and the electro-magnet are present.
5Access controlled electrically and free
when power is off.
The lock and the electromagnet are present.
So, for example, a TriLane A5/B1 will be controlled in the A (entry) direction and always be free in the B (exit) direction. This
is the ex-factory configuration if nothing else is specified in the customer’s order.

5.2. OPERATING MODES
5.2.1. With poWer on
The TriLane, which is fitted with an optional detection system, has two operating modes when power is on:
Mode Description
NF (Normally closed) At rest and in controlled mode, the passage is locked until a user obtains a passage
authorisation. The passage is then unlocked to perform a cycle in the authorised
direction.
NO (Normally Open) At rest and in the controlled mode, the passage is unlocked. The lock will be actuated if
the system detects a turret rotation without passage authorisation.
This mode is only of interest if the electro-magnet has to be powered to lock the turret
(which is the case in the NO configuration with power off). There will be energy saving in
a rest state.
5.2.2. With poWer off
When power is off, the unit can be configured as normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC). This setting depends on
the physical orientation of the solenoid coil, as they have an internal return spring The control of the electro-magnets
will therefore be different in each case, and a configuration parameter is provided in the memory of the AS1635 logic.
5.3. AUDIBLE SIGNAL
The buzzer, which is present on the AS1635 logic board, can be activated in 2 cases:
Case Buzzer signal (factory setting)
Intrusion Continuous sound
Fraud Rapid intermittent (with detection option)
The operation of the buzzer can be changed by a parameter change on the AS1635 control circuit board. For details, refer
to the technical manual of the AS1635, in the section on configuration parameters.

5.4. VISUAL SYMBOLS (FUNCTIONAL PICTOGRAMS)
In order to correctly orient users in obtaining a right of passage, functional pictograms are to be provided in each direction
of passage (optional).
In this case, the upper part of the cover has two cut-outs that allow the placement of opal-coloured Plexiglass. These
diffuse the light emitted by a set of LEDs of different colours (WBGR for White/Blue/Green/Red).

5.5. SPACE PROVIDED FOR READER INTEGRATION
The upper inner part of each leg is available for integration of a reader. A plastic support, fixed on two studs, is available
as an option. Between 175 mm and 210 mm are available in the length direction. If this volume is insufficient, a cut-out in
the closing plate between the leg and the central part is also possible (study available on request).
The other dimensions are shown in the figure below.
Where necessary (to save significant space in the height direction), the reinforcing bar welded to the end of the leg can
be cut.
This reinforcing bar can be
