Intended Users
User Responsibilities
This manual covers physical installation, operation, conguration, and maintenance instructions for SW1000 Motorized
Pedestrian Security Gates. Please read this manual in its entirety before beginning installation.
Purpose of this Manual

SW1000 Installation and Operation Instructions
SW1000 Overview
The SW1000 is a motorized pedestrian gate that provides single direction or bi-directional access control. In the closed
or "home" position, the barrier is held in place by motor force. Upon receipt of a dry contact input from an access
control system or input device such as a push button, the motorized barrier opens 90 degrees away from the signal
direction.
The SW1000 is an ideal product to provide disabled or delivery access in conjunction with Alvarado's waist high or
optical turnstiles.

Internal Components (cont.)
Digital Position Encoder -
The digital position encoder continually monitors the position of the barrier and works in conjunction with the
Motor and I/O - Motor Control Board to control barrier movement.
Motor -
The 24VDC brushless motor / planetary gearbox assembly moves the barrier.
Power Rectier Board -
This board receives 24VDC from the power supply and steps it down to 5VDC and 12VDC for
additional low-voltage requirements.
I/O - Motor Control Board -
This board serves as the interface point for the gate I/O signals and serves as the controller for the
motor operation and barrier movement.
Power Supply -
The power supply converts primary power to 24VDC low-voltage power for motor operation.
Communication Terminal Block (TB2) -
When wired as a tandem gate, the Secondary gate uses this terminal block to connect power and
communications crossover cables.
Conguration Terminal Block (TB1) -
This terminal block contans all available input & output connections.

SW1000 Installation and Operation Instructions
A summary of SW1000 functionality is presented below.
Barrier Breakaway
The SW1000 utilizes motor force to provide resistance against a user pushing or pulling the barrier open. When the
barrier is forced, an alarm sounds and the barrier "breaks away" allowing the barrier to move freely. An output is
generated from the Communication Terminal block - TB2 for monitoring purposes. After a dened time (4 seconds
is the default), the gate resets and resumes normal operation. The force it takes to push or pull the barrier open is
congurable using SwingGate Utility.
Barrier Impact
Should the barrier encounter an obstruction while opening or closing, the barrier will stop moving and an alarm will
sound. After a dened period, the barrier resets and the gate resumes normal operation.
Fire Alarm / Emergency Override
Activation to open the gate in conjunction with a re alarm / emergency override signal is achieved by supplying a
sustained dry contact signal to the appropriate input on the Conguration Terminal block - TB1. When the input signal
is received, the gate opens in the exit direction and remains open until the input signal is removed. When the input
signal is removed, the gate resumes normal operation.
The SW1000 default conguration for re alarm / emergency override input signals is normally open, but can be
congured to interface with normally closed input signals using the Conguration Terminal block - TB1.
Power Failure
When power is removed from the unit, the SW1000 barrier moves freely in either direction. When pushed or pulled to
the open position, the barrier remains open. When power is restored, the gate resumes normal operation.
Barrier Cycle
Barrier cycle refers to the period of time it takes for the barrier to open or close. Barrier open and close settings can
be dened using the SwingGate Utility.
Dwell Time
Dwell time refers to the period of time the barrier remains in the open position (allowing a user to pass through the
gate) before returning to the closed position. Dwell time can be congured using SwingGate Utility.
Barrier Hold Open
After an Open Entry or Open Exit activation, the gate is held open indenitely using an integrated toggle switch (not
supplied by Alvarado). When the toggle is released, the barrier returns to the home position. Typically, this is used to
allow delivery personnel or a group of visitors entry/exit to the facility without credentials.
Security Alarm
The Security Alarm sounds when the barrier is pushed or pulled beyond the user-dened position. The Security Alarm
position can be congured using SwingGate Utility.

NOTE

SW1000 Installation and Operation Instructions
The following slab requirements must be taken into consideration when determining an installation location:
• The gate must be installed on a solid, level concrete pad with a minimum thickness of 4" (102mm).
The following space requirements must be taken into consideration when determining the installation location:
• Allocate 4" (102mm) of space between the back of the tower and adjacent wall or other surface.
• Allow a minimum of 2" (51mm) of clearance between the end of the barrier and adjacent surface to avoid
pinch points.

Fuse 3A (slo-blo) fuse is installed on each gate.
Surge Protection Alvarado suggests the use of surge protection on the high-voltage power line to
further protect electronics
Drive Motor 24V BLDC
Seal the oor area around the conduits running up and into the base plate. This will prevent condensation and
debris build-up coming from whatever may be below the oor.
NOTE
ConduitConduit
Figure 5
• Use full-sweep electrical conduit underneath the oor.
• Use separate conduits for primary power, access control, and crossover cables (tandem installations only).
• The conduit opening must not exceed 2.5" (63mm) in diameter.
• The conduit must not extend above the baseplate or .25" (6mm) above the nished oor.

Signal Inputs and Outputs To / From Access Control System
Inputs - Signal inputs from outside systems are wired into the Conguration Terminal block - TB1. There are two
types of input signals: momentary dry contacts (MDC) and sustained dry contacts (SDC). All input signals must
be normally open, voltage-free, dry contacts, with the exception of the re alarm input, which can be congured
(via TB1-5 terminal) to accept either a normally open or normally closed sustained contact. MDCs must be at
least 100ms in duration to register.
Barrier Breakaway Output – This output is found on the Communication Terminal block - TB2. Signal output is
normally open, voltage-free, momentary dry contact. The output signal length is 500ms in duration.
Communication Requirements
Gate Orientation
Environmental Requirements
• DO NOT install the product outdoors. This product is intended for indoor use only.
The following are suggested operating temperature and humidity ranges for the SW1000:
Operation Non-Operation/Storage
Temperature Range 10° - 32°C / 50° - 90°F 0° - 40°C / 32° - 104°F
Humidity Range (Non-Condensing) 15% - 85% RH --
Operating the SW1000 outside the suggested temperature and humidity ranges may
negatively affect gate performance and could potentially cause damage to gate components.
CAUTION
The default orientation for a single gate locates the tower on the right-hand side when viewed from the unsecured side
[Figure 6].

NOTE
• Gate shown in the closed, "Home", position.

SW1000 Installation and Operation Instructions
It is the installer's responsibility to ensure the following steps are completed before beginning the
installation.
1. All components and hardware have been unpacked, correctly identied, and moved to the installation location.
2. The gate conguration and layout has been conrmed with the site manager.
3. All pre-installation requirements have been met.
Pre-Installation Checklist

NOTE
Base Installation
1. Align the base plate over the conduit opening and
mark the location of each anchor hole. Remove the
base plate when nished.
2. Using a hammer drill and 5/8" concrete drill bit, drill
four (4) anchor holes to a depth of 2.5" (64mm)
[Figure 9].
3. Using a shop vac, vacuum any debris from the
anchor holes. Anchors will not tighten properly if
debris is present.
4. Insert anchors threaded side down [Figure 10].
5. Ensure each anchor is ush with the surface of the
concrete. If necessary, use a hammer to tap the
anchors until they are ush.
The barrier home position will align with an anchor hole
[Figure 8].
