4. Features of Catrax Clip
CATRAX 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 Clip
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, and the 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 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.

4.1 Catrax Clip operation
CATRAX Clip has a two-dimensional rotation system with two 24 V 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 . After half of the turning is complete (45 degrees), a 400CATRAX Clip
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 is forcedCATRAX Clip
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.
The image below shows how mechanism works:CATRAX Clip's

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 :CATRAX Clip

Frontal cover
Rear cover
Lock for accessing the column's interior
Pictogram
(optional)
Rotary axis
Lock for
accessing the
mechanism

ATENTION: To avoid losses, the screws and the wrenches used for
assembling the are attached to the box containing theCATRAX Clip
arms. Before discarding the packing materials (cardboard and plastics),
make sure all the items in the checklist are accounted for.

5.2 Floor drilling and column fixation
Before installing , check:CATRAX 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 CATRAX. If there will be enough space (minimum 5 cm) between the rear of the
Clip 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 CATRAX Clip. If there will be enough space for the arms after 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).
ATENTION: To see details on the dimensions of , see item 8CATRAX Clip
(technical characteristics).
To fixate the column to the floor, observe the following steps and the indicated
images:
1. drill the floor with 3/8” drills (then use a 12mm or the ½” drill). Make four external
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 arms, use an Allen n.5 wrench.CATRAX Clip's
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 arms.CATRAX Clip's
Digicon suggests that two people assemble the arms.
1. With already unboxed and installed, set the arms close to the tube'sCATRAX Clip
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 Clip after assembly
After is installed and assembled, access to the interior of the equipmentCATRAX Clip
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 Clip;
unscrew the screws at the front of .CATRAX Clip
- Column door: Open the lock with the key and pull the door.

6. Installing/Assembling optional
items
CATRAX 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:

6.3 Power supply
This power supply was especially designed for the CATRAX . Among the mainline
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.

6.4.1 Inputs
The input signals or passage clearance (HAB1 and HAB2) can be originated by a relay
contact, pushbutton contact, tension from 5 to 24 Vca/cc, from 110 to 220 Vca/cc. To
enable passage through relay contact or pushbutton, make the connection as shown
below:
Enabling passage through tension pulse is shown in the image below. It is necessary
to observe the polarity of the Vcc voltages and to use an external resistor for high
voltages (110V and 220V).

6.4.1.2 Pictogram
NPN transistors (maximum 500 mA) activate pictogram's output. In the moment of
activation, the GND is sent through the corresponding output.
6.4.2 Configuration of control board - Switch Ds1
The switch (or dipswitch) DS1 allows programming the following actions:
-passage direction
-Maximum time for passage
-NO inputs (relay or pushbutton contact normally open and without input voltage),
enabling passage in face of these signals; or NC inputs (relay or pushbutton contact
usually closed and with input voltage), enabling passage in the absence of these
signals.
-enabling of a signal for a sound alarm if the access control remains at mid passage
for more than 2 seconds.
To program DS1, put each pin in the desired position, according to the table below:
