WARNING
Improper wiring and parameterisation of the control unit!
Improper wiring and parameterisation of the control unit can
lead to undesired functions and thus to injuries.
› Only MHTM™ FlowMotion® service experts, skilled technicians
or electrical safety experts may wire up and parameterise the
control unit.
› The electrical connection of the signal transmitters to the IN1
to IN8 inputs must fit the parameterisation.
Parameterisation: äPage 18, chapter 3.
2.1 Digital inputs
Definition of "Left" and "Right": äPage 62, chapter 7.1.
By parameterising the inputs, you assign certain functions to the inputs. For
example, if you parameterise the "Illumination off" function for input IN7,
switch the illumination on and off via this input.
If the function is marked with "|", the input is inverted (closed-circuit
principle). äPage 54, chapter 6.3.3.
The following functions are assigned to the inputs as default settings:
Clamp Description Input function
IN1 Digital input 1 | Emergency open
IN2 Digital input 2 Open from left
IN3 Digital input 3 Open from right
IN4 Digital input 4 Random check function
IN5 Digital input 5 Confirm warnings
IN6 Digital input 6 Inhibit opening
IN7 Digital input 7 Illumination off
IN8 Digital input 8 | End switch drop arm
Table 3: Factory setting "Digital inputs"

Control unit MGC mTripod
Digital inputs, digital outputs and relay outputs
Input function Descriptions
– Inputs that you assign this function "–" to are being deactivated.
| Emergency open Emergency situation (closed-circuit principle)
Connect fire brigade switches, emergency opening contacts, etc. to this
input. This input has the highest priority. As soon as +24 V DC are applied to
this input, the pedestrian gate is in operation.
For turnstiles with the "Drop arm" option, the holding magnet for the drop-
arm is released immediately in the event of a signal drop. The motor starts
up briefly so that the drop arm can be released.
For turnstiles without the "Drop arm" option, the passage is immediately
enabled in both directions in the event of a signal drop.
This input function is high priority to all other input functions.
Confirm warnings Confirm warnings
A pulse at this input confirms the "Warning" output function. The output is
reactivated the next time a warning occurs.
The number of the warning message remains stored in the event list until
the control unit is rebooted.
Open from left Validation for passage from left
If the signal is present for longer than 3 seconds, permanent open is
activated. "Permanent open" parameter: äPage 46.
Open from right Validation for passage from the right
If the signal is present for longer than 3 seconds, permanent open is
activated. "Permanent open" parameter: äPage 46.
Inhibit opening Lock pedestrian gate
Use this input to lock the pedestrian gate in both passage directions. No
opening signals are accepted anymore. Input IN1 "| Emergency open"
remains superordinated. This means that the pedestrian gate can also be
opened via input IN1 when the pedestrian gate is closed.
| Over-climb
detection
Sensor connection for over-climb detection (Fail Safe)
This input is used to connect a sensor such as a light barrier or a light button
for detecting attempted climbing. As soon as 0 V is applied to this input and
there is no release for a passage, the function is activated and the "Climbing/
Crawling" output function is set.
| Under-crawl
detection
Sensor connection for under-crawl detectionn (Fail Safe)
This input is used to connect a sensor such as a light barrier or a light button
for detecting attempted crawling. As soon as 0 V is applied to this input and
there is no release for a passage, the function is activated and the "Climbing/
Crawling" output function is set.

Control unit MGC mTripod
Digital inputs, digital outputs and relay outputs
Input function Descriptions
Random check
function
Activate random check function, confirm hits
As soon as +24 V DC are applied to this input, the random check function is
activated.
If a hit is generated, the hit can be confirmed with a 0 V pulse via this input.
"Random check function" menu: äPage 51, chapter 6.2.7.
For this input to be effective, you must select the option "Counting" or
"Random" for the parameter "Mode" in the "Random check function" menu.
Multi valid left Multi validation for a passage from left
Function when multiple signals are required to trigger a validation for a
passage from left.
A validation is triggered when a pulse is pending at all inputs with the
function "Multi valid left". Pulses are deleted after 10 seconds.
Example: Passage will not be granted until a face mask has been identified
and the hands have been disinfected. In the example, you must parameterise
two inputs with the function "Multi valid left".
Multi valid right Multi validation for a passage from right
Function when multiple signals are required to trigger a validation for a
passage from right.
A validation is triggered when a pulse is pending at all inputs with the
function "Multi valid right". Pulses are deleted after 10 seconds.
Example: Passage will not be granted until a face mask has been identified
and the hands have been disinfected. In the example, you must parameterise
two inputs with the function "Multi valid right".
Illumination off Switching the illumination off and on
As soon as +24 V DC are applied to this input, the outputs of the MFM01
plug-in module for floor illumination and frame illumination are switched off.
If no voltage is applied at this input, the floor illumination and frame
illumination are switched on.
| End switch drop
arm
End switch drop arm released (only with "Drop arm" option) (Fail Safe)
This input is used internally for the feedback signal of the energized drop-
arm holding magnet. As soon as the feedback signal is missing, an error is
generated.

2.2 Digital outputs and relay outputs
Definition of "Left" and "Right": äPage 62, chapter 7.1.
By parameterising the outputs, you assign certain functions to the outputs. For
example, if you parameterise the "Buzzer/Siren (alarm)" function for output
NO2, you must connect an acoustic signal transmitter to this output.
If the function is marked with "|", the output is inverted (closed-circuit
principle). äPage 54, chapter 6.3.3.
The following functions are assigned to the outputs as default settings:
Clamp Description Output function
DO1 Digital output 1 GED red left
DO2 Digital output 2 GED green left
DO3 Digital output 3 GED red right
DO4 Digital output 4 GED green right
NO1 Relay output 1 Random hit
NO2 Relay output 2 Buzzer/Siren (alarm)
NO3 Relay output 3 Climbing/Crawling
