Before making the turnstile operational, make sure that people can see the turnstile completely
and clearly to avoid injury.
Do not operate the turnstile in the passage after it is powered on.
Preparations
Make sure that the turnstile is installed on a flat surface.
If the turnstile is to be installed outdoors where water pooling is likely to occur, it must be installed
on a 50 mm–150 mm (adjust according to the actual situation) cement base. The passage also
should be elevated to the same height of the cement base. Apply silicon sealant to the gap
between the cement base and the turnstile to keep out water and condensation.
Make sure that the PVC pipe is buried more than 60 mm under the ground, and the height of the
PVC pipe above the ground should be more than 50 mm. Bend the PVC pipe end that is above
the ground to keep out water. Keep the installation surface dry.
Clean the installation surface.
Confirm the installation position.

4.2.1 Tools
Tools might vary based on different installation surfaces.
Cement.
Percussion drill, drill No.16 and No. 32, marking pen, tape measure, spirit level, plumb bob
(calibrate the levelness of the passage), hammer, wrench, angle grinder or cutting machine, and
screwdriver.
Marble and ceramic.
Because marble and ceramic ground are fragile, use the pistol drill to drill a hole first, apply
cooling water, and then keep drilling until the hole is deeper. Remove the dust inside the hole
with water, and then use the percussion drill for the dimensions you need.
4.2.2 Wiring
Check if the labels on the cables are clear. If not, make them clear.
AC power cables and communication cables cannot be in the same pipe.
PVC pipes should be buried under the ground for more than 150 mm to avoid damage from
expansion bolts. The pipe above the ground should be longer than 50 mm to keep out water.
The PVC pipes must be able to go through the cable entry of the installation base.
