Important Electrical Information
Installation of the control head mechanism into the turnstile requires a grounding-type
outlet receptacle installed inside of the frame or cabinet through the provided conduit
access points.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a grounding type plug that has a
third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding type outlet. If the plug does
not fit into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not
change this plug in any way.
Additionally, the MS2-H50 power supply from this appliance must be grounded to the
frame of the turnstile. Utilize the green colored grounding screw threaded into the
grounding tab located near the power supply along with the provided grounding wire from
the power supply to ensure the equipment is proper grounded.

Security Begins With Controlled Access

Full Height Turnstile Rotor Alignment
Mounting a new 6500 series control head is very simple. Unbolt the existing control head from
whatever turnstile it is installed in and mount the new one in its place. The control head is backwards
compatible with nearly every turnstile we have ever made on its own. In units that the hole pattern does
not match, an adaptor plate is provided to make installation just as simple.
Full height turnstiles have one extra step involved when installing the control head. It is crucial
that the rotor is aligned properly or the head will not function as intended. One set of arms on the rotor
must rest in between the two half-moon shaped yoke assemblies on the turnstile. Refer to the diagram
below as a visual guide to help install the control head into the rotor properly.
Note: Failure to align the rotor on a full height turnstile properly will cause inconsistent
operation and may even physically trap someone inside of the turnstile.
See the next page for more detailed instructions for mounting the control head.

6500 Series Control Head Installation
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do NOT hard wire the power supply directly into
input voltage. Only power this turnstile from a grounding-type receptacle. Should the turnstile be
installed without a grounding-type receptacle, contact a qualified electrician to install one for you.
Waist High Installation:
New waist high turnstiles already have the 6500 series control head mounted in place.
However, should the need to replace the control head ever arise, follow these steps:
•Remove the arm assembly from the turnstile by unbolting the 3x 5/16 button head cap screws
•Remove the lid from the cabinet. Some models have a lock and key system while some others are
secured with 10/24 button head screws located on the sides.
•Unplug the control head from the grounded receptacle located inside of the cabinet.
•Unbolt the 4x 5/16 carriage bolts holding the control head assembly in place.
•Pull the control head out of the cabinet and disconnect any access control inputs from the control
board.
•Place new control head on top of cabinet and connect access control inputs to the new control
board (see wiring diagram).
•Insert control head into cabinet with the locking bars facing upwards toward you and bolt it into
place with 5/16 carriage bolts.
•Ground the power supply to the cabinet.
•Plug in the control head to the grounded outlet receptacle.
•Install arm assembly onto arm adaptor with 5/16 button head cap screws.
•Reinstall the lid.
Full Height Installation:
•Remove the cover from the mainframe by removing the 10/24 button head cap screws.
•If replacing an existing control head follow these steps first:
oUnplug the existing control head from the grounded outlet receptacle
oUnbolt the 4 3/8 carriage bolts holding the control head in place
oDisconnect access control inputs from existing control board
oPull the existing control head out
•Install the control head into the hex insert on the rotor so that the rotor aligns with one set of
arms in between the two half-moon shaped yokes
•Bolt the control head into place
•Connect access control inputs (see wiring diagram)
•Ground the power supply to the frame utilizing the provided grounding tab located
near the control head.
•Plug the control head into a grounded outlet receptacle.

6500 Series Control Head Information
All of our turnstiles and ADA gates operate with a mechanism called the 6500 series control
head. This sturdy and easy to maintain drive for the turnstile has replaced all previous model control
heads. It is adaptable to any existing turnstile and comes with each new turnstile purchase. This control
head can be configured in multiple ways to accommodate the security requirements of each individual job
site.
An internal view of an electronically controlled two-way 6500 series control head.
While the head can be configured for mechanical (no electronics) operation, the turnstile’s
security potential is reached in the case of an electronic two way control head. In this instance, each
rotational direction is independently unlocked. Configured properly, this control head will allow for one
rotation per valid entry request. Our anti-backup cams are designed so that it is impossible to become
trapped within the turnstile when properly installed.
Each control head comes pre-configured to your specific needs based off of a directional sheet
that is filled out before shipment. The heads are delivered pre-wired, tested, and adjusted to our factory
recommendations. Installation is simple: connect inputs from access control devices into the logic
controller and plug the unit’s power supply into a 110-240VAC receptacle. The power supply will
automatically set itself to function on your local voltage and convert it to 24VDC.
Note: Proper turnstile operation requires a dry, normally open momentary contact closure
(of one second or less).

6500 Series Control Head Configuration Information
The 6500 series can be configured in a number of different ways. All turnstiles operating with the 6500
series control head self center and hydraulically shock to the home position to prevent damage or injury.
Manual both ways: Turnstile rotates freely in both directions. This unsecure configuration is used as a means to
direct traffic through one area. Full height turnstiles can be purchased with a lockout bar which would allow end
user to lock the turnstile with a standard pad lock.
Manual one way: Turnstile rotates in one direction but not the other. This configuration is great for an exit way.
Electronic one way with free exit: Turnstile rotates freely in one direction and requires access credentials for the
other. This configuration is suitable for secure entry and unsecure exit.
Electronic one way with no exit: Turnstile requires access credentials for one direction and allows no passage in
the other. This configuration is suitable for a secured entryway with an alternate means of exit.
Electronic two way: Turnstile requires access credentials for both directions. This configuration is perfect for
locations requiring secured entry and exit passage.
Fail lock: Upon power failure, turnstile will remain locked in one or both directions. This is convertible to fail
open by ordering an alternate linkage. This can also be known as fail secure.
Fail open: Upon power failure, turnstile will remain unlocked in one or both directions. This is convertible to
fail lock by ordering an alternate linkage. This can also be known as fail safe.
Key override: This option is for a location that the security requirements may change. The key override option
is not intended for everyday use. Should you require an additional lockdown feature on your turnstile, a better
option is a lockout bar (Figure L) with a standard pad lock.

6500 Series Control Head Locking Bar Information
Any number of configurations is possible on the 6500 series control head. In the case of an electronic
two way head, two independent locking mechanisms are in place. The following diagram indicates which
direction unlocks from which locking mechanism. A logic controller or key override is needed to unlock the
control head in each direction it is configured to lock in.
If removing the locking bar becomes necessary for any reason, two methods can be used. The easiest
method is to punch the ½” dowel pin out from the bottom side of the control head. This releases the locking bar
from the casting. An alternate approach would be to remove the (4) ¼-20 socket head cap screws from the
casting and remove the lid.
When installing or replacing the locking bars into the control head, be sure to take special care to align
the solenoid spring (shown below) or it will not pivot properly.
