How to Install Swing Gate Turnstile and Connect with Face Recognition Access Controller

How to Install Face Recognition Turnstile Gate Step by Step

Installing a swing gate turnstile and integrating it with a face recognition access controller involves mechanical installation, electrical wiring, signal connection, and system debugging. Below is a complete, step-by-step guide.

Part 1: Pre-Installation Preparation

1. Site & Environment Requirements

• Ground: Must be flat, level, hardened concrete (≥C30, thickness ≥200mm).
• Outdoor: Install on a 100–200mm raised concrete platform; add rain/sun shelter.
• Clearance: ≥50cm space around the turnstile for maintenance; no obstacles behind the swing arm.
• Power: 220V AC, 50Hz (stable supply, ≥500W per lane).
• Wiring: Pre-bury 3/4″ PVC conduits (strong/weak electricity separated).
  • Power cable: RVV 3×2.0mm² (L/N/GND).
  • Control/signal cable: RVVP 8×0.5mm² (shielded twisted pair).

2. Tools & Parts

• Hammer drill, M12 expansion bolts (100mm long), level, wrench, screwdrivers, wire stripper, multimeter.
• Silicone sealant (for waterproofing).

3. Check Equipment of face recognition turnstile gate

• Unpack and inspect: turnstile cabinet, swing arms, controller, face recognition terminal, power supply, cables, sensors.
• Confirm model, voltage (220V AC for turnstile, 12V DC for controller/face terminal).

Part 2: Mechanical Installation (Fixing the Turnstile)

Step 1: Position & Mark

• Place the cabinet on the ground; use a level to ensure it’s perfectly horizontal/vertical.
• Mark the anchor holes (typically 4–6 points) and outline the base.
• For multiple lanes: Align all cabinets, maintain consistent lane width (usually 600–900mm).

Step 2: Drill & Embed Anchors

• Move the cabinet; drill holes 100–130mm deep with a hammer drill.
• Insert M12 expansion bolts and tighten.

Step 3: Secure the Cabinet

• Place the cabinet over the bolts; loosely fasten nuts.
• Recheck level; fully tighten nuts.
• Seal the base edge with silicone (waterproof/dustproof).
• Install and adjust the swing arms (ensure they close tightly, no friction).

Part 3: Electrical Wiring & Connection (Core Step)

System Architecture of face recognition turnstile gate

220V AC → Turnstile Power Supply → (24V DC for Motor) & (12V DC for Controller) → Face Recognition Terminal → Open Signal → Turnstile Control Board → Motor Drive

1. Turnstile Main Power Wiring

• Open the cabinet; connect 220V AC to the internal power supply (L/N/GND).
• Critical: Must ground (GND) the cabinet to prevent electric shock and interference.

2. Connect Face Recognition Terminal to Turnstile

The goal is to send a switch signal (NO/COM) from the face terminal to the turnstile’s OPEN input.

1. Power the Face Terminal (12V DC)

• From the turnstile’s 12V output or an external power supply:
  • V+ (Red) → Face terminal +12V
  • GND (Black) → Face terminal GND

1. Open Signal Wiring (Most Important)

• Face Terminal (Relay Output):
  • NO (Normally Open) → Turnstile OPEN (IN/START)
  • COM (Common) → Turnstile GND
• Turnstile Control Board:
  • Locate the access control input (labeled: OPEN, IN1, START, PUSH, RELAY).
  • Connect the two wires from the face terminal.

1. Connect Main & Sub-Cabinets (For Double Wings)

• Use the specified communication cable to connect CON1/CON2 between master and slave cabinets.
• Ensure synchronous opening/closing.

3. Standard Wiring Diagram Summary

Part 4: System Debugging & Commissioning

Step 1: Power-On Self-Test

• Turn on power; the turnstile will initialize (arms reset to center, beep).
• Check for abnormal noise or jamming.

Step 2: Set Basic Parameters (on Turnstile Board)

• Opening time: 1–3 seconds (how long arms stay open).
• Opening speed: 0.5–0.8 seconds.
• Anti-pinch sensitivity: Adjust infrared sensors.
• Direction: Set bi-directional or single-direction pass.

Step 3: Test Face Recognition

1. Enroll a face on the terminal.
2. Present face: Verify identification (<1 sec).
3. Check response:
   • The terminal beeps green.
   • The turnstile immediately opens the arms.
   • After passage, arms auto-close (triggered by infrared sensors).

Step 4: Test Safety Functions

• Anti-pinch: Obstacle blocks arm → motor reverses/halts.
• Anti-collision: Forced opening triggers alarm.
• Fire mode: Trigger fire input → turnstile unlocks and opens freely.

Step 5: Troubleshooting

• No response to face: Check power, NO/COM wiring, signal polarity.
• Opens but won’t close: Check infrared sensors (blocked/dirty).
• Abnormal noise: Loose screws or misaligned arms.
• Face recognition fails: Clean lens; adjust height/angle (1.5–1.6m high, 0–15° tilt).

Part 5: Safety & Maintenance Notes

• Always disconnect power before wiring/maintenance.
• Strong/weak cables must be separated in conduits.
• Keep the face lens clean and protect from direct sunlight.
• Regularly check bolts, arms, and sensors for loose connections or damage.

Conclusion: The core is correctly connecting the NO/COM relay signal from the face terminal to the turnstile’s OPEN input. Always refer to your specific equipment’s manual for exact terminal labels.
