3. Introduction

The structure of Automatic Master can present external finishing in brushed stainless
steel (AISI 304) or 1020 carbon steel with electrostatic painting in black epoxy powder.
It has reinforced structure, fully rounded corners, and non-exposed screws, offering
space and comfort for any access control solution. Aiming at facilitating assembly and
maintenance, the column Automatic Master presents a U-shaped internal support
(mounting rack) with standard holes for the fixation of additional electronic boards.
Moreover, the clients, according to their needs, can add additional holes. Access to the
mounting rack is done through a key with secret, whose removal and insertion are
extremely easy.
A plastic cover and a stainless steel sheet compose the upper panel. The cover, made of
injected plastic, can be purchased in the colors green, burgundy, or black or in any
other color desired, on demand.
The upper cover in stainless steel allows easy configuration and low-cost customization
of the product. The sheet can also present slots for optional items, such as operational
pictogram (on top), orientation pictogram (side), collecting box inlet, display kit or a
combination of these items.

4. Features of Automatic Master

Automatic Master, an access controller in the model blockage, presents three
bidirectional, equidistant arms at 120 degrees with brushed stainless steel (AISI

304) finishing.

Besides compatibility with most available technologies, Digicon can provide the
following optional items: collecting kit with box, pictogram kit, counter kit, power
supply, power supply, control board, and display kit. These items are described in
details in item 6. Installing/Assembling optional items.

TIP: To see details about the dimensions of Automatic Master's items,
see item 8. Technical characteristics.

4.1 Automatic Master operation

A Automatic Master has bidirectional motorized turning with two 24 Vcc
electromagnets for activating the locks.

It also includes a microprocessor control

board,

where a signal enabling passage is sent through one of the inputs, depending on
the passage direction. If this signal is recognized, the equipment will allow the turning
of the arm of Automatic Master. After half of the turning is complete (60 degrees), a 400
milliseconds returning signal will be sent, informing the passage direction. After the
signal, the arm cannot be returned to the previous position.

Depending on the Automatic Master model and configuration, if the passage is forced
without the enabling signal, an electromagnet will be activated to prevent turn. In
addition, the equipment can emit a signal for a sound alarm and/or the exhibition of a
red X on the upper panel display (models with pictogram). In this case, a return signal
will be sent, indicating that the turnstile was forced, informing the direction of turn.
The image below shows the operation mechanism of Automatic Master.

5. Installing/Assembling

5.1 Unboxing

As the items inside the package can vary (depending on the client's requests), it is
important to perform a cautious visual inspection before installing and assembling the
turnstile. A checklist that works as a guide during inspection accompanies all Digicon
packages. See below the parts that can compose Automatic Master:

5.2 Floor drilling and column fixation

Before installing Automatic Master, check:

1. if the floor has conditions to receive anchor bolts (at least 4cm of FCK15 M.P.A.
concrete or equivalent)

2. If there is a power source or electric socket nearby (ducts for connection).

3. If the place chosen is adequate for the installation of the access controller (indoors).

4. If access to the Automatic Master's locks is clear.

5. If there will be enough space for the arms after Automatic Master is assembled.

ATTENTION: For

more details on the dimensions of Automatic Master's

components, see item 8. Technical characteristics.

Once you observe these recommendations, proceed to the installation:

1. rill the floor with 3/8” drills (then use a 12mm or the ½” drill). Make two holes inD
each column of Automatic Master, according to the measures indicated in the image
below:

2. Clean the holes, removing any debris from drilling.

3.

Place the external part of the bolts in the holes. Leave about 25mm of the bolt out of

the hole.

TIP: We reccomend anchor bolts by Tecnart, model AF38110, 3/8x4”.

4. Position the column and fasten it to the floor with the four screws that accompany the
bolts. Use a flex-head socket wrench with ¾'' or an articulated socket wrench.

5.3 Assembling the arms

After positioning and aligning the turnstile in its operation place, it's time to assemble
the arms. Make sure that you have all the necessary items and that the turnstile is
turned off, once you will have to remove the bowl to screw in the arms.
The arms are provided disassembled. To assemble them, observe the following
instructions.
The wrench used for assembling the arms is an Allen n.8 and the screws must be
fastened to the maximum to ensure good fixation. All three arms must be fixed in the
same upper central point.

Repeat the operation on the three arms and make sure all arms are well fixed.

INFORMATION:

- The cover for accessing the screws is fitted into place, so pressure it to

open or close it.

- To assemble the arms of Automatic Master, use an Allen n. 8 wrench.

5.4 Accessing the turnstile after assembly

After Automatic Master is installed and assembled, access to the interior of the
equipment can be done with the key that accompanies the equipment, in three ways:
external covers, central cover, or column door.

See now the instructions for opening Automatic Master after assembly:

1. Unlock the two extremities of the Automatic Master, using the key provided
alongside the product. Remove the external covers, which are pressed into place. The
covers feature small internal couplings that support them in the column during
operation, as can be seen in the image to the right.

2. Before opening the central cover, deactivate the security pins located on each side
of

the cover.
