Description
The powerful 6500 Series Control Head electronically operates a wide variety of turnstiles and gates.
Factory configurations include:
- Electronically controlled in one direction, manual (free passage) in the other direction
- Electronically controlled in one direction, locked in the other direction
- Electronically controlled in both directions
In case of power failure, control heads may be configured to be fail-lock (secure), fail-open (safe), or any combination of the two for no additional charge.
A key-override option is also available to give you the ability to unlock your turnstile with a simple key turn.
