5 DESIGN
5.1 Main features
The canopy meets current requirements to such equipment in compliance with
GOST P 51241. The main features of the canopy are as follows:
high corrosion resistance of the aluminium frame ensures long period of service
even in unfavourable environments;
low weight makes the installation easier;
high durability polymeric powder keeps the outward appearance essentially
unchanged for many years of service.
5.2 The canopy design
5.2.1 The design is shown in Fig. 3. Numbers of the position correspond to Fig.3.
5.2.2 The canopy consists:
right roof section (1) and left roof section (2);
four posts (3);
two bushings (7);
sealing element (9);
jointing plate (10).
Note:
“Right” and “left” names for the roof sections are conventional and correspond
to the name of the RTD-15 turnstile guide barrier section (Fig. 4and 8), below (see
Operation Manual for the RTD-15 full height rotor turnstile).
5.2.3 The roof sections (1) and (2) with transparent infill, and the posts (3) with bottom
flanges (4) for fixing the posts to the mounting surface and top flanges (5) for fixing the
posts to the roof sections assembly, are made of high durability aluminum profile.
5.2.4 The lower parts of the roof sections should be assembled together by jointing flanges
(6), while upper parts by bushes (7), installed between gussets (8).
5.2.5 The joint line between the roof sections is covered by a self-adhesive sealing
element (9) and a jointing plate (10).
5.2.6 Each roof section has a sloping drain (11) for drainage.
5.2.7 Both front sides of the canopy are fixed by fittings to adjacent equipment (see
sect. 8.3).

Assembly and Operation Manual
8.3 Canopy installation
Recommendations how to prepare mounting holes in the foundation (the mounting
surface) are given with regard to anchor bolts for solid concrete floors or similar
foundations (see sect. 8.1). Use relevant mounting hardware for installation on different
foundations.
8.3.1 Unpack the canopy, check completeness of the delivery set according to sect. 4.1.
8.3.2 Mark out the mounting holes for installation of the posts (3) according to Fig. 4.
Note:
Carry out the marking together with that for turnstile mounting holes given
in the Operational Manual to the RTD-15 Full Height Rotor Turnstile. Symmetry axis
of turnstile and canopy mounting holes geometrically coincide (Figure 4).
8.3.3 Prepare holes for the anchor bolts. Set the anchors all the way down the prepared
holes.
Warning!
Further work should be carried out after installation of the turnstile.
Be particularly careful when installing parts of the canopy before they are secured in
place, prevent the parts from fall.
8.3.4 Erect and fix the posts with anchor bolts observing their verticality by means of a
level gauge, use insertions when necessary.
8.3.5 Lay both roof sections side by side down a soft material (foam plastic, etc.) on a
horizontal platform so that the jointing flanges (6) face each other, and the gap between
the gussets (8) is 3-7 mm more than the length of the bushing (7).
8.3.6 Put the screw М8×45, through the hole in the left roof section gusset from inside,
take the bushing on the screw. Put the screw inside the hole in the right roof section
gusset (Fig. 5). Fix the screw by the nut M8 with two washers from inside the right roof
section. Fix the other side gussets together. Do not tighten the screws.
8.3.7 Tie the jointing flanges together by fittings shown in Fig. 5. Do not tighten the
screws.
8.3.8 Tighten all the screws jointing the roof sections: first in the gussets on one side
together with the screws in the jointing flanges on the opposite side, then tighten the
screws on the other sides.
8.3.9 Lay the jointing strip (10) down a flat surface, stick the self-adhesive sealing
element (9) along the long sides of the strip closest to the edge. Trim the sealing element
where necessary.
8.3.10 Lay the jointing strip along the joint line, the sealing element down. Drill 12
Ø3.5 mm holes 9 mm deep for the 4.2×16 self-tapping screw through the 12 Ø5 mm holes
in the strip (Fig. 6). Fix the strip on the roof sections with the screws.

Assembly and Operation Manual
8.3.11 Choose direction of the water drainage off the canopy and visually determine pitch
of the drains (11). Lift and place the roof assembly on the posts in such way as to achieve
the chosen drainage direction.
8.3.12 Drive the screws М6×30 with washers into the thread bushings in the roof sections
through the four holes in the top flange (5) (Fig. 7). Obtrusive ends of the thread bushings
should enter the counterbored holes in the top flanges. Differences between diameters of
the bushings and the holes, and the screw M6 and the flange hole allow compensating for
possible installation faults.
Figure. 7 Fixing the roof assembly to the post (3)
8.3.13 Use the fasteners and fix both sides of the canopy through the jointing flanges to
adjacent equipment:
8.3.13.1 when the canopy is used together with a standalone turnstile without railings,
fix it to the turnstile top channel by two «Turnstile-Canopy» brackets mounted on both
ends of the top channel (Fig. 8.3.16);
8.3.13.2 when two or more turnstiles are used together with canopies joined in a row,
or when turnstiles are used together with canopies and railings installed at one or both
frontal sides, follow instructions given in corresponding installation documents.
Do not:
use the canopy that is not fixed to the turnstile or railings with brackets. Both frontal
sides of the canopy should be fixed to adjacent equipment.
8.3.14 Install the «Turnstile-Canopy» bracket as follows:
8.3.14.1 Take off the top channel cover (refer to the RTD-15 Operation Manual);
8.3.14.2 Unscrew two bottom screws М6×40 with nuts and washers (Fig. 8) from the
canopy jointing flanges on the side of the turnstile barrier section (Fig. 5);
12

Protective Canopy RTC-15
8.3.14.3 Install the bracket on the flanges and fix it with the earlier undone screws
(Fig. 9);
8.3.14.4 Mark the turnstile top channel for two Ø8.5 mm holes to mount the bracket
with the screws М8×30.
8.3.14.5 Undo the screws and take off the bracket.
8.3.14.6 Drill two Ø8.5 mm holes as marked.
8.3.14.7 Mount the bracket on the flanges, fix the bracket by two screws М6×40 with
nuts and washers. Do not tighten the screws.
8.3.14.8 Put two screws М8×30 through the holes in the bracket and fasten them by
nuts with washers from inside the top channel, as shown in Fig. 9.
8.3.14.9 Tighten all the bracket screws.
8.3.15 In the same way, mount the «Turnstile-Canopy» bracket from the side of the
turnstile guide barrier set (Fig. 8).
