3. Introduction

The structure of Automatic Master 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. Aiming at facilitating assembly and
maintenance, the column Automatic Master presents a U-shaped internal support
(mounting rack) with 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, whose removal and insertion are
extremely easy.
A plastic cover and a stainless steel sheet compose the upper panel. The cover, made of
injected plastic, can be purchased in the colors green, burgundy, or black or in any
other color desired, on demand.
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 operational
pictogram (on top), orientation pictogram (side), collecting box inlet, display kit or a
combination of these items.

4. Features of Automatic Master
Automatic Master, an access controller in the model blockage, presents three
bidirectional, equidistant arms at 120 degrees with brushed stainless steel (AISI
304) finishing.

Besides compatibility with most available technologies, Digicon can provide the
following optional items: collecting kit with box, pictogram kit, counter kit, power
supply, power supply, control board, and display kit. These items are described in
details in item 6. Installing/Assembling optional items.
TIP: To see details about the dimensions of Automatic Master's items,
see item 8. Technical characteristics.
4.1 Automatic Master operation
A Automatic Master has bidirectional motorized turning with two 24 Vcc
electromagnets for activating the locks. It also 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 turning
of the arm of Automatic Master. After half of the turning is complete (60 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 Automatic Master model and configuration, if the passage is forced
without the enabling signal, an electromagnet will be activated to prevent turn. In
addition, the equipment can emit a signal for a sound alarm and/or the exhibition of a
red X 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.
The image below shows the operation mechanism of Automatic Master.

5. Installing/Assembling
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 Automatic Master:

5.2 Floor drilling and column fixation
Before installing Automatic Master, check:
1. if the floor has conditions to receive anchor bolts (at least 4cm of FCK15 M.P.A.
concrete or equivalent)
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 access to the Automatic Master's locks is clear.
5. If there will be enough space for the arms after Automatic Master is assembled.
ATTENTION: For more details on the dimensions of Automatic Master's
components, see item 8. Technical characteristics.
Once you observe these recommendations, proceed to the installation:
1. rill the floor with 3/8” drills (then use a 12mm or the ½” drill). Make two holes inD
each column of Automatic Master, 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.
TIP: We reccomend anchor bolts by Tecnart, model AF38110, 3/8x4”.
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.

5.3 Assembling the arms
After positioning and aligning the turnstile in its operation place, it's time to assemble
the arms. Make sure that you have all the necessary items and that the turnstile is
turned off, once you will have to remove the bowl to screw in the arms.
The arms are provided disassembled. To assemble them, observe the following
instructions.
The wrench used for assembling the arms is an Allen n.8 and the screws must be
fastened to the maximum to ensure good fixation. All three arms must be fixed in the
same upper central point.
Repeat the operation on the three arms and make sure all arms are well fixed.
INFORMATION:
- The cover for accessing the screws is fitted into place, so pressure it to
open or close it.
- To assemble the arms of Automatic Master, use an Allen n. 8 wrench.

5.4 Accessing the turnstile after assembly
After Automatic Master is installed and assembled, access to the interior of the
equipment can be done with the key that accompanies the equipment, in three ways:
external covers, central cover, or column door.
See now the instructions for opening Automatic Master after assembly:
1. Unlock the two extremities of the Automatic Master, using the key provided
alongside the product. Remove the external covers, which are pressed into place. The
covers feature small internal couplings that support them in the column during
operation, as can be seen in the image to the right.

EXTERNAL COVER
2. Before opening the central cover, deactivate the security pins located on each side
of the cover.

3. Open the cover according to the following images:
Note that the equipment structure contains a device that maintains the cover in the
vertical position (see detail).
4. The following image shows Automatic Master with all covers open.
INFORMATION: To access the column door, remove the external
cover on the appropriate side.

5.5 Connection to power network
The Turnstile is powered by a 24 Vcc supply (located inside the turnstile). The
power supply can be of 100 to 240 Vca. Digicon recommends the regulation NBR
5410 as 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.

6.Installing/assembling optional
items
Automatic Master 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:
6.1 Rear closure kit
Automatic Master can be provided with a panel to close the rear space between the
columns. The sheet can be of 6 mm tempered glass, 6 mm acrylic, or and 1.2 mm
stainless steel, as the client sees fit. Besides closing the rear space, the panel allows
simple customization with low cost.
The rear closure kit is mounted has four fasteners that secure the sheet to the side
columns, as shown below:

TIP: To obtain information on the configuration of the collecting kit, see
item 6.7Control board.
6.3 Operational Pictogram Kit
The operational pictogram kit visually signals the direction of passage (green arrows)
or the blocking (red X) on the upper part of Automatic Master.
TIP: To obtain information on the configuration of the pictogram, see
item 6.7 Control board.
6.4 Orientation pictogram kit
The orientation pictogram kit also visually signals the direction of passage (green
arrows) or the blocking (red X), but on the front/side part of Automatic Master.

TIP: To obtain information on the configuration of the pictogram, see
item 6.7 Control board.
6.5 Power supply
Among the main advantages of this optional item, is its adaptation capability to the
voltage variations often found in installation sites – the input voltage can vary
between 100 and 240 Vca.
The supply's specific technical features, protections and dimensions were carefully
tested and approved in hostile temperature and environmental conditions, which
ensures the adequate power supply to the equipment's performance. Besides the
input and output voltages indicated in the image below, the supply has a short-
circuit and overheating protection.
