Wing Barrier Turnstile Secure Passage Anti Tailgating Forced Entry Alarm Duress Code 

Product Introduction

This wing barrier turnstile is specified where the entrance is a security boundary, not just a queue manager: server rooms, data centres, laboratories, cash handling areas, restricted factory zones and executive floors. The controller enforces one person per authorisation. If a second body enters the lane on one valid credential the wings close, an alarm event is raised and the event is time stamped together with the credential and lane number.

The lane distinguishes between the events security staff actually need to act on. Forced entry with no credential, a door held open beyond the set time, a person climbing or reaching over the cabinet, and a cabinet opened without authorisation each produce a separate alarm class rather than a generic error. A duress code entered at the reader opens the lane normally but silently signals the control room, which is the difference between a coerced entry and a quiet incident.

Events are pushed to the access control platform and to the video management system, so the camera covering the lane is tagged with the event and the operator can review the clip for the exact second the alarm occurred. Every record keeps the credential, lane, direction and result, giving an audit trail for restricted area access. Physical security is handled by the same cabinet: 1500mm 304 stainless steel pedestal, acrylic swing arms, six pairs of infrared sensors, anti crush protection, and automatic unlock on power failure or emergency stop so the lane never blocks evacuation.

Product Advantages

• One person per authorisation - The sensor pattern across the lane confirms that exactly one body has passed on one credential. A following person closes the wings and raises an alarm event with the credential and lane number attached.
• Separate alarm classes - Forced entry without a credential, door held open beyond the set time, climbing or reaching over the cabinet, and unauthorised cabinet opening each generate a distinct alarm class, so the control room knows what to respond to.
• Duress code with silent alarm - A duress code opens the lane in the normal way while quietly signalling the control room, allowing a coerced user to enter without alerting the person behind them.
• CCTV event linkage - Alarm events are pushed to the video management system and the camera covering the lane is tagged, so the operator can review the clip for the exact second of the event.
• Full audit trail for restricted areas - Every passage record keeps the credential, lane, direction, result and timestamp, giving an auditable history for server rooms, laboratories, cash areas and other restricted zones.
• Anti crush and safe passage geometry - The acrylic swing arms are driven with torque control and stop on contact, while the anti crush geometry prevents a person from being trapped between the wing and the cabinet.
• Anti climb cabinet design - The 304 stainless steel cabinet has no external step or handhold, and the reader and indicator are recessed into the top cover, limiting the usual ways of reaching over or climbing around a lane.
• Fail safe emergency behaviour - On power failure or an emergency stop command every lane unlocks immediately and stays open until reset, keeping the evacuation route clear without staff intervention.

FAQ

Q1: How does the lane stop two people entering on one credential?

The sensor pattern across the lane confirms that exactly one body has passed. If a second person follows, the wings close, an alarm is raised and the event is recorded with the credential and lane number.

Q2: What kinds of alarms does it report?

Forced entry without a credential, door held open too long, climbing or reaching over the cabinet, and unauthorised cabinet opening each report as a separate alarm class.

Q3: What is a duress code?

A duress code opens the lane normally but sends a silent alarm to the control room, so a person entering under coercion can be identified without alerting the person behind them.

Q4: Can alarms be linked to our CCTV system?

Yes. Alarm events are pushed to the video management system and the camera covering the lane is tagged, so the operator can review the exact second of the event.

Q5: Is there an audit trail for restricted areas?

Every passage record keeps the credential, lane, direction, result and timestamp, providing an auditable history for server rooms, laboratories, cash handling areas and other restricted zones.

Q6: What happens on power failure?

The lane unlocks immediately and stays open until reset, and the emergency stop button releases every lane at once, so evacuation is never blocked.

Q7: Can it be integrated with our existing access control platform?

Yes. Relay switch signal, 12V level signal and 12V pulse signal outputs are provided together with RS485 and TCP/IP communication, so the lane works with most access control and video platforms.
