DST80S Installation Instructions
1.)
Floor should be level +/- 1/8”. If the floor is not level, the turnsle will need to be
shimmed.
2.)
Use the cross arm and main channel assembly as a template to mark the 5x anchor holes
onto concrete.
3.)
Drill the 5x 7/8” holes for the curved yokes and staonary barrier 4” deep, clean holes of
debris.
4.)
Insert rods into yokes and barrier. The hollow rods (to be used as wire races) should be on the
card reader mounng side of the yoke assemblies. The solid rods belong to the inner posts of
the yoke assemblies and the staonary barrier.
5.)
Erect frame of turnsle by standing curved yoke assemblies and staonary barrier upright and
insert the rods into the drilled holes in the concrete.
6.)
Rest the mainframe ontop of the curved yoke assemblies and staonary barrier, fing the rods
through the holes provided. Do NOT install nuts for the rods yet.
7.)
Block the yoke assemblies and barrier up to provide space underneath and pour epoxy grout
into each of the 5 holes. Allow epoxy to cure before removing blocks.
8.)
Once the epoxy has cured, remove the blocks from under the curved yokes and staonary
barrier. Thread the 3/4"-10 nuts onto the threaded rods to secure frame to concrete. Shim
where necessary to ensure mainframe is level +/- 1/8”.
9.)
Using a plumb-bob, mark the rotor’s bearing locaon on the concrete.
10.)
Set the PVC bearing cup so that the bearing aligns to the center of the plumb-bob and drill 3x
3/8” holes. Secure bearing block assembly to concrete with provided 3/8” anchors.
11.)
Place the bearing with 7/8” hex insert onto bearing cup and install rotor onto bearing
assembly.
12.)
Install control head into the rotor and mainframe. Ensure that the alignment on the rotor is so
there is one set of arms in between the two curved yoke assemblies (see diagram below).
13.)
Refer to control head informaon in the remainder of the book for electrical informaon,
troubleshoong, and other informaon about operaon of the turnsle.

recommendations. Installation is simple: connect inputs from access control devices into the logic
controller and plug the unit’s power supply into a 100-240 VAC (single phase) receptacle. The power
supply will automatically set itself to function on your local voltage and convert it to 24VDC.

6500 Series Control Head Locking Bar Information
The 6500 Series Control Head is built to order based on a direction set up sheet sent with
cabinet on the left for waist high.
“No passage” directions include a fail lock locking bar assembly as well as an unwired solenoid.
This adds the appropriate parts to the control head to prevent it from rotating in that direction.
“Free passage” (or manual) directions remove the solenoid and locking bar assembly, allowing
the cam to spin freely.
Each direction has a pair of holes on the locking bar and control head casting. These holes
act as pivot points for the locking bar casting. The inner holes are fail lock and outer holes
are fail open. A .5“ dowel pin slides through the entire assembly to hold everything in place.
Alternate linkages and springs are needed to convert a direction’s power failure status.

Replacing an entire locking bar assembly is simple; punch the .5” dowel pin from the pivot
point through the head casting (via a small hole in the bottom casting for this purpose),
pull out the old locking bar assembly and replace it with the new one.
If changing from fail lock to fail open or vice versa, install the dowel pin in the alternate hole.

Setting:
Loosen the set screw on the head of the dial
and turn the knob. The dial can be set
between 0 and 8. The higher the number, the
stronger the shock is. Tightening the set screw
can alter the shock strength so a good habit is
to loosen the set screw, turn the dial, tighten
the set screw then test your setting. Repeat
Replacement:
Thread the new shock into the shock housing
as far as it will turn while the cam is in the
home position. Once it bottoms out, thread
the shock back out 1.5 - 2 turns until the
numbers on the dial are facing upright. Some
models may require an additional turn or two
outward if the arm does not self center on
even the lowest setting.
1” Hydraulic Shocks:
Setting:
Loosen the set screw on the head of the dial
and turn the knob. The dial can be set
between 0 and 8. The higher the number, the
stronger the shock is. Tightening the set screw
can alter the shock strength so a good habit is
to loosen the set screw, turn the dial, tighten
the set screw then test your setting. Repeat
Replacement:
Thread the new shock into the housing as far
as it will turn while the cam is in the home
position. Once it bottoms out, thread the
shock back out 1.5-2 turns until the set screw
pointer is facing upright. Fasten the shock into
the housing by snugging the 1/4-28 set screw
into the bronze housing (snugly, but do not
over tighten or the brass might start to tear).
Failure to turn the shock back out after threading it in all of the way will likely cause the part
to wear out very quickly.

6500 Series Control Head Electrical Information
Each electronic control head comes with a power supply, a programmable logic controller (PLC), limit
switches (or optionally, proximity sensors) and solenoids. For safety purposes, it is recommended that
you read all literature on the electrical components before attempting to install the control head into
a turnstile.
The 6500 Series Control Head is on the third generation of electronic components. The new XD10 logic
controller is a direct replacement of both the 0789 control board and 6789 (Keyence KV-16DR) logic
controller.
The latest enhancements provide a broader temperature range for outdoor installations (-4 to 131F)
as well as a user friendly text based interface with a daylight visible display. With this also comes
some new features such as on board testing buttons, turnstile statistics / information, etc.
with installed products. If an installation has the old 0789 circuit board (PCB) and has the optional
proximity sensor upgrade, new proximity sensors will need to be purchased. This is because the
0789 board had NPN inputs while the XD10 (and the KV-16DR) have PNP inputs.
The new PLC still requires relay contact closures for inputs just like all previous generations, so any
installation is compatible in one way or another. If assistance is needed with understanding how
to convert the wiring from access control to the new logic controller, please view this manual or
call our technical support department for assistance.

02 - Output 2 - Dual purpose output for Direction 1. If the direction is fail open, it’s solenoid would connect here. If equipped with an
indicator light, the red leg would connect here. Output switches from ON to OFF when directional input is triggered.
03 - Output 3 - Dual purpose output for Direction 2. If the direction is fail lock, it’s solenoid would connect here. If equipped with an
indicator light, the green leg would connect here. Output switches from OFF to ON when directional input is triggered.
04 - Output 4 - Dual purpose output for Direction 2. If the direction is fail open, it’s solenoid would connect here. If equipped with an
indicator light, the red leg would connect here. Output switches from ON to OFF when directional input is triggered.
Indicator light information:
Green Light - An indicator to inform pedestrians that they are allowed to pass through the unit. Uses black output wire from light’s cable.
Red Light - An indicator to inform pedestrians that the unit is locked or that pedestrians require credentials to enter. Uses brown output wire
from light’s cable.
As a side note, indicator lights can also be wired to glow yellow. If desired, this can be used instead of red with the unused white wire on the
light’s cable to indicate to pedestrians they require credentials to enter. This is especially handy for multi-lane installations in which some
directions are“no passage” instead of “controlled passage”. Likewise, green lights can also be wired to a red light output to constantly
glow green to indicate “free passage”.

6500 Series Control Head Limit Switch Information
Electronically controlled 6500 Series Control Heads utilize limit switches (or optionally, proximity
sensors) in order to detect rotation. Depending on the type of unit (turnstile or ADA gate), the limit

ADA Gate control heads use an oblong lobe shaped
limit switch cam. The point of the lobe needs to be
facing the index pin (bar with two springs) when the
cam is in the home position.
The limit switch for direction 1 is on the left and the
limit switch for direction 2 is on the right. In this

re-engages the locking bar. The cam is still free to move
until it swings back to the home position.
Turnstile control heads use a triangular shaped limit
switch cam. One point of the triangle needs to be facing
the index pin (bar with two springs) when the cam is in
the home position. The two indents in the sides of the
triangle are for jigging purposes. It does not matter
which point is facing to the springs.
The limit switch for direction 1 is on the right and the
unit. The second switch triggers after the half-way point
of the rotation, which draws in the solenoid. This allows
the rotation to go to home but prevents the rotor from
backing in the other direction.

6500 Series Control Head w/ XD10 Controller Standard Turnstile Testing
The XD10 logic controller on the 6500 Series Control Head can be activated by contact closures
between 24VDC+ and the relevant input. New technology allows for simpler on-board testing
as well. To diagnose issues with the unit, press A on the keypad to cycle between screens until
the testing mode screen appears.
other menu screens. The unit should unlock for the duration of the directional timer or until
the unit is rotated. If the button is pressed twice, it should allow two rotations or time out
based on the mult-swipe setting. If the button is held and the one shot timers are disabled,
the unit will continue to remain open until the button is released and another rotation or
timeout occurs.
With the testing mode screen open, press and release + to activate in direction 1. The unit
should unlock and allow one rotation. If the unit successfully functions this way, repeat the
same for direction 2 by pressing the - button.
If everything is functioning properly from the menu test but not with access control, either
access control is not connected properly, is normally closed instead of normally open, or is
access control system.
If the unit successful unlocks but does not re-lock upon rotation, try to manually trigger
the appropriate limit switch for the direction that is not working correctly. If this helps, it
is likely that the limit switch is not properly being triggered by the limit switch cam. Either
adjust the height of the limit switch cam or tweak the lever on the limit switch a bit closer
to the limit switch cam’s tip.
If the unit does not successfully re-lock after manually triggering the limit switch, ensure
that it is wired properly. Return to the home screen and press / hold the limit switch. If the
switch is being held but the “Active Pins” display does not include the switch being held, it
may be necessary to replace the switch. Note that there is a short delay from when the
switch is triggered to when the display will register it as active, however this is normal.
If there are other issues with operation, check out the troubleshooting guide for additional
diagnostic procedures or call Designed Security, Inc. for assistance.

Maintenance & Cleaning
tained more frequently.
Annual Servicing
- Secure all nuts & bolts throughout each model. This includes concrete anchors, carriage bolts
holding together mainframes, and the bolts holding the control head assembly together.
- Remove the index pin assembly from the control head by disconnecting the two extension springs
& apply white lithium grease. Use 3-in-1 oil on the index pin roller.
- If the unit is a High Security series full height turnstile, add grease to the rotor’s roller bearing by
Biennial Servicing
- Disassemble the control head by removing the 4x socket head cap screws holding the top casting
to the bottom casting (and the triangular limit switch cam if equipped).
- Clean any loose debris / grease from the inside of the casting.
- Inspect internal components for wear and replace as needed.
- Apply 3-in-1 oil to the bronze bushings on the locking bar assemblies and shock piston.
- Apply white lithium grease to the shock piston where it enters the bronze housing.
- Reassemble the control head assembly, using removable strength (typically blue) thread sealer
(such as Loctite 243) on the head bolts to ensure the assembly stays together.
Cleaning
normal.
- Powder coated surfaces should be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner such as Formula 409. Inspect
- Stainless steel surfaces should be polished with a stainless steel wax or polish. Contrary to common
belief, stainless steel is not rust proof. Exposure to certain chemicals and harsh environments such as
ocean air or chemical plants may cause surface corrosion. Minor discoloration can be removed with a
rust penetrating product (such as PB Blaster) along with non-scratching scouring pads. Severe cases
of contamination may require the use of specialty products. We have had great success with products
such as Stellar Solutions’Citrisurf 2310 Rust Remover and Passivation Solution.
- The decorative solid surface tops on our Executive models, Beacon models and some PassThru
models should be polished with furniture polish (such as Scott’s Liquid Gold Wood Cleaner). Allowing
the product to soak into the material for a few minutes easily restores the surface’s luster.
- Polycarbonate plastic should only be cleaned following the plastic manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions. DO NOT USE ANY PRODUCTS THAT INCLUDE AMMONIA OR OTHER HIGH PH PRODUCTS. If
the model purchased includes polycarbonate plastic, see the section of the manual dedicated to
cleaning it (starting on the next page). Failure to use appropriate cleaning methods will cause
aesthetic and structural damage to the plastic which will not be covered under the warranty.
Control heads can be removed from the turnstile and shipped to the factory at any time for repairs
and maintenance. Please include contact information so we can call to discuss any issues your control
head may have.
