Powered by innovation
Cutting Edge Technology
The SU3500 optical turnstile provides bi-directional access control in conjunction with a facility access control system. To enter, users present a valid credential which retracts the turnstile’s motorized barriers into the cabinet, allowing a single passage in the requested direction. If an unauthorized user attempts to tailgate on a valid entry, or attempts entry without authorization, the optical turnstile’s sensors recognize the illegal passage attempt and sound an internal alarm. The turnstile has several operational modes and features that provide a superb combination of safety, security and high user throughput.
The SU3500 optical turnstile is an IP enabled device. Turnstile settings are adjusted using an included web application. Using a PC, tablet or smartphone, configurable features – such as audio sounds, motor settings, detection settings, tailgate settings and alarm timer settings – are set and changed over a TCP/IP network. For installations where turnstiles are not networked, configuration changes are easily made by plugging directly into the turnstile’s configuration port.
Key Features:
- Card in/card out; card in/free exit; either or both directions closed for use
- Superior unauthorized passage detection
- Barriers quickly open and close to provide authorized passage
- Download configuration changes and custom audio sounds over a TCP/IP network
- Brushless closed loop DC drive system
- Multiple operation modes
- Virtually maintenance free
Added Benefits:
- Very intuitive for users
- Increases security by ensuring that only valid users gain entry
- Integrates easily with access control systems
- Supports rapid throughput
- Stacks access credentials and processes access control signals instantly
- Quick, precise and reliable panel movement – no need for constant adjustments
- Provides years of trouble-free operation

Simplified integration
Access Control and Visitor Management
The SU3500 barrier wing optical turnstile integrates with virtually any access control or visitor management system and accommodates a wide array of credential readers. Dedicated fire or life safety system inputs are provided and outputs can be used to turn on cameras, lock interior doors and provide remote notification. The SU3500 is an optical turnstile that provides a superior access control and visitor management solution for facilities worldwide.
Lane Monitoring and Control
Alvarado’s GateKeeper Monitoring and Control software allows operational management of SU3500 optical turnstiles over a TCP/IP network. Among its many features, GateKeeper allows authorized personnel using a laptop, PC, tablet or similar device to change lane configurations and provide override activations for special circumstances such as visitors and deliveries. Passage directions can also be changed (and individual turnstiles opened or closed) automatically at pre-defined times to increase passage flow or heighten security during busy or slow periods.
Key Features:
- Simplified integration to access control and visitor management systems
- Flexible credential reader attachment options allows use of existing readers familiar to users
- Dedicated input for fire/life safety systems
- Multiple inputs to allow access control systems to implement operating mode changes
- Multiple outputs for integration with 3rd party systems and other devices
- TCP/IP enabled for remote communication and control of turnstiles
Never compromise safety
Built-in Safety
The embedded intelligence and advanced hardware of the SU3500 provides highly evolved safety features. The strategically placed safety sensors are constantly monitored to instantaneously stop the moving panels if a person or object is detected. In the highly unlikely event of a contact, our intelligent closed loop motor drive system detects the impact and immediately stops the moving panels. The panels can be forced inward to meet local life safety regulations. When the optical turnstile receives a fire/life safety input, the panels retract and remain open until reset. In the event of power loss, the barrier panels retract allowing free egress.
Key Features:
- Strategically placed safety sensors prevent retractable panel impact with persons or objects
- Intelligent drive system and pinpoint control of moving panels
- Panels retract freely upon loss of power or state of emergency to allow free egress
Certifications
The SU3500 optical turnstile is independently tested and certified by LA Testing Labs. It is also CE marked.
