The THT-100MT is an enhanced full height security turnstile specifically designed for very high security applications requiring positive identification through a biometric device. The THT-100MT uses a unique two-stage entry process with independent controls for each stage. The initial state requires user to present a valid form of identification to rotate the turnstile 90 degrees and gain access to the second quadrant. At this point, a separate, usually biometric, device is used to verify the individual's identity before allowing the final 90 degrees of rotation and access to the secure area.
The independent electrical controls at each stage of the entry process prevent unauthorized users from presenting a non-identity dependent card to the first access control device, rotating the turnstile 90 degrees and then using the card again at the first access control device to complete the final 90 degree rotation cycle and gain entry without using the biometric device. Electrically controlled exiting through traditional access or biometric control devices is also available. Fabricated from satin polished stainless steel, the THT-100MT is a serious security turnstile capable of restricting access only to identified, authorized users.
