Turnstiles

A turnstile is a gate with rotating arms that releases one passage at a time after a valid card, code or button press. It turns an open doorway into a controlled entrance and marks the boundary of a restricted area for staff and visitors alike.

A tripod turnstile has three arms at waist height. It is the most common type for offices, gyms, clubs, factories and stadiums.

• Digicon Catrax Fit: the entry-level column model, with stainless steel arms on a powder-coated column and an anti-panic drop arm.
• Digicon Catrax Plus: a column model for busy indoor entrances, in brushed stainless or powder-coated steel.
• Digicon Catrax Master: a countertop cabinet with a concealed mechanism, for high-traffic entrances.
• Digicon Catrax Show: a robust electromechanical tripod in a frame with yellow side bumpers.
• Digicon Catrax Outdoor: a weather-resistant stainless steel cabinet that is dust-tight and resistant to water jets.
• Digicon Catrax Go Uno and Go Duo: motorized tripods with automatic arm reset; the Go Duo serves two lanes from one tower.
• Turnstar single 3 arm turnstiles with card holder.
• Single and double 3 arm turnstiles, including a half-height single model.

A single 4 arm turnstile in three-quarter height is also listed.

A full-height turnstile closes the entrance from floor to head height, so it cannot be climbed over or crawled under. It suits perimeter entrances that are not staffed, such as data centers, utilities and industrial sites.

• Digicon TX1500: one lane, about 6'11" high, for indoor or outdoor use, in painted or stainless steel.
• Digicon TX Duo: two passages in one unit, about 7'4" high, for busy indoor and outdoor entries.

The TX1500 has a rubber-coated last arm against impact. It can stand outside; Digicon recommends a roof to extend its life.

A swing arm turnstile has one long arm that opens a wide lane for wheelchair users, strollers and wide loads. The Digicon Catrax Clip is a column model with a stainless steel arm. The Digicon Catrax Outdoor ADA uses the weather-resistant Catrax Outdoor cabinet with a passage width of 35.4". Both are sold as ADA models; check the accessibility requirements that apply to your entrance.

The Catrax Plus is built for busy indoor entrances. For outdoor entrances, choose the Catrax Outdoor, the Catrax Outdoor ADA or a full-height TX model, which are made for outdoor use.

Digicon models such as the Catrax Fit, Plus, Master and TX1500 are released by a dry contact from an access control board, and the Catrax Plus and TX1500 also accept a 5 to 24 V AC/DC signal. That means card readers, keypads and intercoms can open them. The Catrax Fit, Outdoor, Outdoor ADA, Go Uno and Go Duo free the lane in an emergency or on a power failure; on the Catrax Plus, anti-panic is an option.
