3. Introduction
Following a new technological concept focused on solidity and reliability and counting
with innovative design elements, with color variety and widely curved lines, Digicon has
launched the line .CATRAX Automatic Clip
CATRAX Automatic Clip serves most technologies of access control currently
available, becoming the best option in the market for access control.
This manual presents a detailed description of the components and working of
CATRAX Automatic Clip. To see our complete catalogue, visit www.digicon.com.br.

4. Features of Catrax Automatic Clip
07
CATRAX Automatic Clip,an access controller in the model mini turnstile (column
type), destined to individuals with special needs, presents one arm with brushed
stainless steel (AISI 304) finishing and two-directional mechanism, with horizontal
movement. The column can present external finishing in brushed stainless steel (AISI
304) or 1020 carbon steel with electrostatic painting in black epoxy powder. It has
reinforced structure, fully rounded corners, and non-exposed screws, offering space
and comfort for any access control solution. It also has room for a collecting box
(optional item). Aiming at facilitating assembly and maintenance, the column
CATRAX presents a U-shaped internal support (mounting rack) withAutomatic Clip
standard holes for the fixation of additional electronic boards. Moreover, the clients,
according to their needs, can add additional holes. Access to the mounting rack is
done through a key with secret, and the removal and insertion are done through the
frontal door.
A plastic cover and a stainless steel sheet compose the upper panel. The cover, made
of injected plastic, can be purchased in stainless steel or black (other colors available
on demand). Optionally, the cover can present a slot for the reading of magnetic
cards/badges and barcodes. The upper cover in stainless steel allows easy
configuration and low-cost customization of the product. The sheet can also present
slots for optional items, such as pictogram, collecting box input, display kit, or a
combination of these items.

TIP: CATRAX AutomaticTo see details about the dimensions of
Clip's items, see item 8. Technical characteristics.
4.1 Catrax Automatic Clip operation
CATRAX Automatic Clip has a two-dimensional rotation system with two 24 V cd
electromagnets for activating the locks.
It includes a microprocessor control board where a signal enabling passage is sent
through one of the inputs, depending on the passage direction. If this signal is
recognized, the equipment will allow the movement of the arm of CATRAX Automatic
Clip. After half of the turning is complete (45 degrees), a 400 milliseconds returning
signal will be sent, informing the passage direction. After the signal, the arm cannot be
returned to the previous position.
Depending on the model and configuration, if the passage isCATRAX Automatic Clip
forced without the enabling signal, an electromagnet will be activated to prevent
passage. In addition, the equipment can emit a signal for a sound alarm and/or the
exhibition of a red sign on the upper panel display (models with pictogram). In this
case, a return signal will be sent, indicating that the turnstile was forced, informing the
direction of turn.

5. Installation/Assembly
5.1 Unboxing
As the items inside the package can vary (depending on the client's requests), it is
important to perform a cautious visual inspection before installing and assembling the
turnstile. A checklist that works as a guide during inspection accompanies all Digicon
packages.
See below the parts that can compose CATRAX Automatic Clip.

5.2 Floor drilling and column fixation
Before installing , check:CATRAX Automatic Clip
1. The place chosen for the installation.
2. If there is a power source or electric socket nearby (ducts for connection).
3. If the place chosen is adequate for the installation of the access controller (indoors).
4. If there will be enough space (minimum 5 cm) between the rear of the CATRAX C
Automatic Clip lip column and the wall. This space is important in order to provide
access to the upper panel and plug's locks for the cables passage.
5. If there will be enough space for the arms after CATRAX Automatic Clip is assembled.
6. If the floor is in conditions to receive anchor bolts (minimum of 4 cm of FCK15 M.P.A.
concrete or equivalent).
ATTENTION: To see details on the dimensions of CATRAX Automatic Clip,
see item 8 (technical characteristics).
10
To fix the column to the floor, observe the following steps and the indicated images:
1. rill the floor with 3/8” drills (then use a 12mm or the ½” drill). Make four externalD
holes, according to the measures indicated in the image below:
2. Clean the holes, removing any debris from drilling.
3. Place the external part of the bolts in the holes. Leave about 25mm of the bolt out of
the hole.
4. Position the column and fasten it to the floor with the four screws that accompany
the bolts. Use a flex-head socket wrench with ¾'' or an articulated socket wrench.

TIP: We recommend the bolts by the brand Tecnart, model AF38110, 3/8x4''.

5.3 Assembling the arms
INFORMATION: The cover to access the screws is open/closed by
pressure (fitting). To assemble the CATRAX Automatic Clip's arms, use
an Allen n.5 wrench.
11
After drilling the floor and assembling the column, it is possible to assemble the arms
and plastic covers.
The sequence below shows the instructions to help assembling CATRAX Clip's arms.
Digicon suggests that two people assemble the arms.
1. With already unboxed and installed, set the arms close toCATRAX Automatic Clip
the tube's frontal holes (central axis). First, fit the arm's lower rod and press the upper
rod so it reaches the respective hole.
2. Once the arm has both rods duly fitted, turn the arm to one side up to about 180
degrees or until it reaches the end of its track. You will notice there are two holes on the
back of the tube.
3. Use an Allen n.5 wrench to fasten the arms to the holes using the bolts and washers
provided with the product.

5.4 Accessing Catrax Automatic Clip after assembly
After is installed and assembled, access to the interior of theCATRAX Automatic Clip
equipment can be done with the key that accompanies the equipment, in two ways:
- Rear cover and frontal cover: open the lock with the key at the rear of CATRAX
Automatic Clip CATRAX Automatic Clip.; unscrew the screws at the front of
- Column door: Open the lock with the key and pull the door.
As shown below:

5.5 Connection to power network
The Turnstile is powered by a 24 V c supply (located inside the turnstile). The powerd
supply can be of 100 to 240 V . Digicon recommends the regulation NBR 5410 asac
reference to the equipment's electrical connections. In one of its columns, the turnstile
has circuit breakers in its columns where the power cables (electrical supply) and the
ground wire must be connected.
CAUTION: Electric connections must be performed by qualified
professionals.

TIP: We recommend that you use a good quality AC cable and ground
wire and with compatible dimensions to the distance until the
switchboard. The data cable must be type CAT5E. Recommended
manufactures: FURUKAWA and AMP.

6. Installing/assembling optional items
CATRAX Automatic Clip is compatible with most access control technologies in the
market today; however, Digicon offers a range of optional items that allow enhancing
and matching the equipment's performance to the client's needs. See the description
of each of these items:
The collecting box kit has a device for collecting, retaining, and gathering cards or
badges. It is ideal for places with eventual visitors or users. The kit is composed of a
socket, a retention device activated by a solenoid, and a storage box. The image below
shows the items that accompany the collecting box kit and may work as a guide for its
assembling:
