The sheet can also present slots for optional items, such as pictogram, display kit, or a combination of these items. Besides compatibility with most available technologies, Digicon can provide the following optional items: pictogram kit, counter kit, power supply, and control board.
4.1 C atrax Fit Operation In the basic mechanism, C atrax Fit has a two-dimensional rotation system with two 12 V electromagnets for activating the locks and two optical sensors that can provide the signal for the activation of the electromagnets and passage clearance. In the electronic model, which includes a microprocessor control board (optional), a signal enabling passage is sent through one of the inputs, depending on the passage direction.
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.
5.2 Floor drilling Before installing C atrax Fit, check: -If there will be enough space. -The place chosen for the installation. -If there is a power source or electric socket nearby (ducts for connection); -if the place chosen is adequate for the installation of the access controller (indoors); -if there will be enough space (minimum 5 cm) between the rear of the C atrax column and the wall.
ATTENTION: in the central slot, destined to the passage of cables, it is necessary to measure the cables according to the opening's size. TIP: As an optional item, Digicon can provide a steel template for the fixation of Catrax Fit, containing the exact demarcations of the necessary holes.
5.5 Access to C atrax Fit after assembling After Catrax Fit is installed and assembled, access to the interior of the equipment can be done with the key that accompanies the equipment. 5.5.1 Cover 1. Open the lock with the smaller key (clockwise) Unscrew the two screws in the turnstile's front 3.
6. Optional items Catrax Fit is compatible with most access control technologies in the market today; however, Digicon offers a range of optional items that allow enhancing and matching the equipment's performance to the client's needs. See the description of each of these items: 6.1 Pictogram kit...
This device also offers the possibility of counting simple pulses (like the other counters available in the market). The Digicon electronic counter works through a key (button) that allows access to all its functions. Optionally, there is the possibility of the installation of an additional key on the front panel, activated by switch.

The device also presents two independent totalizer accumulators, one total and one partial; only the latter can be reset during normal functioning. To shift visualization of the counter kit between total and partial totalizers, just press the key and release it in a short period. To identify which totalizer is being displayed, the indication totAL or PArtial appears on screen, as well as a point on the right lower edge for the partial totalizer and a point on the left lower edge for the total.
Besides the input and output voltages indicated in the image below, the supply has a short-circuit and overheating protection. Input: 100 A 240Vac Output: Ground Neutral Phase TIP: The power supply can be mounted to the board's support that accompanies CATRAX Fit.
6.4 Control board atrax Fit's control board was designed to meet most technologies of access control terminals in the market. The controller have mechanical features and layout perfectly suited for the C atrax Fit's needs and it is one of the best options for the equipment's operation.

Digicon's board. The control board also has inputs for optical controllers (Cn6), which monitor the Catrax Fit's turning (there is no mechanical wear) and two opto-isolated inputs for liberating Catrax Fit if necessary. 6.4.3 Outputs The C atrax Fit board presents outputs for return signals, electromagnets, pictograms, collecting box, and sound alarm.
6.4.3.1 Return signals Return signals indicate the moment and direction of passage and are originated at the relay – normally open contact (NO) or normally closed contact (NC). Connect the outputs according to the image below: 6.4.3.2 Electromagnets Electromagnets are activated for blocking the turnstile. Opposite to the traditional solenoids, electromagnets do not cause abrasion between the coil and the locking device, avoiding malfunctions.
6.4.4 Examples of some configurations 1. Configuration of controller to receive a relay pulse (normally open contact), clear the turning and wait to turn for 10 seconds 2. Configuration of controller to leave the clockwise direction always cleared and, when the HAB2 ( counter -clockwise) clearance signal is received, clear passage for...
6.5 Anti-Panic System The Catrax Fit has an electromechanical device for anti-panic system (also called drop- arm device). The mechanism is composed by a mechanical set activated by high- performance solenoid, maintaining the arm raised during normal operation. In case of...
7. Maintenance 7.1 Preventive and corrective routine maintenance Sphere base – Periodicity: every 700,000 cycles The wear of the spheres' track must be checked Corrective actions: 1. In case of excessive wear (chipping, perforations, fillings or grooves where the sphere turns) replace the part. 2.
