Unmatched reliability and access control
The Alvarado EDM Series high-waisted turnstile is designed to deliver secure, efficient, and user friendly bi-directional access control. Equipped with advanced features, the Alvarado EDM ensures smooth and nearly touchless passage, integrating seamlessly with facility access control systems or devices that support dry contact outputs, such as push buttons.
- Bi-directional access control: Operates with facility access control or dry contact devices, unlocking on valid credential input for a streamlined user experience.
- Smooth, motorised arms: In controlled passage mode, the motorised arms move slightly to prompt the user, then rotate fully with a light touch, ensuring near touchless passage.
- High throughput and stacking: Processes multiple users rapidly by stacking activations during busy times, accommodating high-traffic periods with ease.
- Flexible entry and exit modes: Supports both card-in/card-out and card-in/free-exit configurations. The direction can be closed to ignore all inputs if needed.
- Integrated reader options: Easily compatible with card readers, which can be mounted on the lid or installed underneath in a designated cutout. Optional LED lights indicate credential status to users.
- Automatic drop arm for emergencies: Includes anti-panic functionality, dropping the arm for clear egress upon power loss or fire alarm input. The arm re-engages automatically when safe.
- Battery backup: Optional battery backup maintains full functionality during power outages, allowing for continued operation for up to three hours, with fire system input prioritising safe egress.
- Configuration utility: The Alvarado EDM Utility software allows easy adjustment of settings, connected directly via a laptop to the turnstile’s control board.
- Counting and crowd control: Suitable for patron counting applications, sending rotation data to an internal counter or integrating with Alvarado’s GateWatch or third party counting systems.
The Alvarado EDM turnstile combines advanced control, reliable performance, and user convenience, making it an ideal solution for high-traffic venues seeking robust access control with added patron counting and crowd control capabilities.
