The CPSTT tandem full height maximum security turnstile cuts no corners. Unlike competitive models that use individual parts that must be bolted together during installation, the integral sections of the CPSTT are delivered with solid assemblies. The crystal clear rotating arms and side panels in aluminum frames dramatically enhance the appearance and improve sight lines. Details matter, especially when manufacturing a tandem full height security turnstile to stand the test of time.

The CPSTT’s tandem space saving design requires approximately 30″ less end to end installation space than two individual turnstiles installed side by side.

The CPSTT tandem full height turnstile features electric lock control, and is richly appointed with standard features that are expensive options on other products.

It provides bi-directional access control in conjunction with a facility access control system or any device that can provide a dry contact output (such as a push button). The turnstile comes with attachment points for card readers and each direction can be independently configured as either fail-safe or fail-lock. In operation, when a valid credential is presented, the turnstile unlocks, allowing a single hydraulically controlled rotation in the requested direction. Unauthorized entries, or attempts to tailgate on an authorized entry, are deterred.

The CPSTT has built in override controls that provide additional flexibility. Passage directions can be set for free passage, controlled passage or locked down.

Integrating the CPSTT tandem full height electric turnstile into your facility is quick and easy. The CPSTT integrates with virtually any access control or visitor management system accommodates a wide array of credential readers. A dedicated fire system input is provided and passage outputs can be monitored to validate passage after activation, or to provide accurate people counting. The result is an elegant full height security solution that thousands of facilities worldwide rely on for superior access control and visitor management.

CPSTT tandem full height turnstiles provide secure and safe operation. Built in speed control self-adjusts to the pushing force of the user. Even when a user pushes hard on the turnstile arms, the speed of rotation is controlled. This increases safety and reduces the chance of a rapidly spinning rotating section catching a user’s heel. In addition to controlling the rotation speed, Alvarado’s speed control also greatly reduces kickback of the rotating sections toward the user when the turnstiles relock. After each passage, the rotating sections smoothly returns to the home position and locks in place, ready for the next user. The unique cam design of the CPSTT also makes it mechanically impossible for a user to get locked inside the turnstile.

In secured applications the CPSTT is typically configured for fail-lock in the entrance direction and fail-safe in the exit direction. When power is removed from the turnstile this prevents people from entering but allows personnel to exit. Turnstiles configured for fail-lock in the exit direction can also provide free egress using local key override controls. Other ordering options are available and changing between fail-lock and fail-safe is easily accomplished in the field. A dedicated input for fire systems also provides free egress in the event of emergencies.
