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 C Fit.atrax
C Fit serves most technologies of access control currently available at companies,atrax
condominiums, clubs, and gyms. This manual presents a detailed description of the
components and working of C Fit.atrax
To see our complete catalogue, visit www.digicon.com.br

4. atraxFeatures of C Fit
C Fit, an access controller in the model mini turnstile (column type), presents threeatrax
bidirectional, equidistant arms at 120 degrees with brushed stainless steel (AISI 304)
finishing.
The column can present external 1020 carbon steel finishing with electrostatic painting
in black or grey epoxy powder.
It has reinforced structure, fully rounded corners, and non-exposed screws, offering
space and comfort for any access control solution.
Standard holes for the fixation of additional electronic boards. Moreover, the clients,
according to their needs, can add additional holes. Access to the support 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. 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,
display kit, or a combination of these items.
Besides compatibility with most available technologies, Digicon can provide the
following optional items: pictogram kit, counter kit, power supply, and control board.

INFORMATION: The turning of the turnstile can be blocked only with the
activation of the electromagnets. If the turnstile has no power supply, the
turning mechanism remains free.
4.1 C Fit Operationatrax
In the basic mechanism, C Fit has a two-dimensional rotation system with twoatrax
12 V electromagnets for activating the locks and two optical sensors that can provide
the signal for the activation of the electromagnets and passage clearance.
In the electronic model, which includes a microprocessor control board (optional), 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 C Fit. After half of the turning is complete (60 degrees), a 400 millisecondsatrax
returning signal will be sent, informing the passage direction. After the signal, the
arm cannot be returned to the previous position.
Depending on the C Fit model and configuration, if the passage is forced withoutatrax
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.

5. Installing/Assembling C Fitatrax
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 C Fit:atrax
ATTENTION: To avoid losses, the screws and the wrenches used for
assembling the C Fit are attached to the box containing the arms.atrax
Before discarding the packing materials (cardboard and plastics), make
sure all the items in the checklist are accounted for.

5.2 Floor drilling
Before installing C Fit, check:atrax
-If there will be enough space.
-The place chosen for the installation.
-If there is a power source or electric socket nearby (ducts for connection);
-if the place chosen is adequate for the installation of the access controller (indoors);
-if there will be enough space (minimum 5 cm) between the rear of the C Fitatrax
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.
-if there will be enough space for the arms after C Fit is assembled.atrax
-If the floor is in conditions to receive anchor bolts (minimum of 4 cm of FCK15 M.P.A.
concrete or equivalent).
5.3 Colum fixation
To fixate the column to the floor, observe the following steps:
1. drill the floor with 3/8” drills (then use a 12mm or the ½” drill). Make 4 external
holes, according to the measures indicated in the image below:
ATTENTION:Since the C Fit's installation requires floor drilling, itatrax
is important that the location be chosen carefully.
Measures in millimeters and inches.
120 (4,724")
54 (2,125")
51 (2,007")
230 (9,055")

ATTENTION: in the central slot, destined to the passage of cables, it is
necessary to measure the cables according to the opening's size.
TIP: As an optional item, Digicon can provide a steel template for the
fixation of Catrax Fit, containing the exact demarcations of the necessary
holes.
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.
5.4 Assembling the arms
After drilling the floor and assembling the column, it is possible to assemble the arms
and plastic covers.
The image below shows the specific parts of C Fit's arms and upper frontalatrax
cover.

5.5 Access to C Fit after assemblingatrax
After Catrax Fit is installed and assembled, access to the interior of the equipment can
be done with the key that accompanies the equipment.
5.5.1 Cover
1. Open the lock with the smaller key (clockwise)
2. Unscrew the two screws in the turnstile's front
3. Pull the cover forward, disengaging the back pins
4. Drag the cover until it is completely out
See the images below:

6. Optional items
Catrax Fit 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 Pictogram kit
The pictogram kit visually signals the direction of passage (green arrows) or the
passage blocking (red X).

6.2 Electric counter kit
The electric counter kit for pulses and turns is digital presents six digits and was
developed for access control applications that use the C Fit turnstile, and can also beatrax
used in other projects that require such device. The location of the counter in the
equipment (side gap) is the same as the mechanical counter.
The electronic counter has inputs for two sensors, which allows its configuration for
sequential sensing, enabling it to detect turns of the turnstile only for one direction or the
other. This device also offers the possibility of counting simple pulses (like the other
counters available in the market).
The Digicon electronic counter works through a key (button) that allows access to all its
functions. Optionally, there is the possibility of the installation of an additional key on the
front panel, activated by switch.

Resetting the partial totalizer
To reset the partial totalizer, it is necessary to access the partial visualization mode
and then press the function key for about 3 seconds (or until all the digits are zero).
Configuration of operation mode:
The counter can be configured to count pulses or turns clockwise or counter
clockwise (the denomination “clockwise”and “clockwise”only serves tocounter
distinguish the two tuning directions). To configure the counter, it is necessary to
access the total visualization mode and proceed as shown:
Sensors:
The sensors must connect the sensor's input to the counter's ground wire (switches,
optical couplers, buttons, relays, etc.).
