Yes, this is typically referred to as card in / free exit.
In the case of a power outage does the turnstile lock into a closed or freewheeling position – after any battery backup runs out?
The turnstile is configured at time of order to free egress and no entry (default) on power outage. ย it can also be set to no entry both ways or free spin in both directions. ย To answer your question properly. ย It depends on the configuration, once the battery back up has drained then the turnstile will go into the state that configured when built.
Can this be used outdoors?
