Customization can be carried out with either a third party supplier or with Digicon (subject to additional quotation). The Catrax Plus is compatible with most technologies currently available. The following optional items can also be ordered: card collection kit, pictogram kit, backlight display,...
4.1 V ISUAL INSPECTION Depending on the customer’s order the CATRAX Plus may include items that are not factory-installed. It is very important to carry out a careful visual inspection of the contents before beginning assembly and installation. Contents should be compared with the checklist provided with the package.
2. There is an energy source or electric outlet close to where the turnstile will be installed. 4. There is enough room (at least 5 cm) between the rear part of the CATRAX Plus column and the wall. This is important to ensure access to the upper panel and rear cable access panel.
Product Manual Dimensions in mm. NOTE Electrical and communication cables must pass through the cable exit. Check cut- out dimensions to make sure all cables will fit. NOTE A heavy-duty steel template for installation of the column may be purchased from Digicon.
CCESS TO THE LUS INTERNAL COMPONENTS AFTER ASSEMBLY After the CATRAX Plus has been installed and assembled, access to internal components is possible via the rear cover, the front cover, or the column door, using the access keys that come with the equipment.
Product Manual 5.1.1 Connecting the card collection box to the control board NOTE The magnetic/bar code reader is not part of the kit. 5.2 P ICTOGRAM KIT The pictogram kit provides visual indication of the direction of turn (green arrows) and turn locking (red X).
5.4 P OWER SUPPLY This power supply unit was especially projected for the CATRAX Plus. One of the main advantages of this optional item is its input voltage range – between 90 and 250 VAC – and therefore its capability to adapt to the voltage variations that are common in many installation sites.
5.5 C ONTROL BOARD The CATRAX Plus control board was designed to meet the needs of most of the current access control technologies. The table below describes the functions of controller board connectors.
For high voltages, use an external resistor (110 to 220 V). The control board also has inputs for optical sensors (CN6) that monitor turn without mechanical wear, and two optoisolated inputs to release the CATRAX Plus if required.
Product Manual 5.5.2 Outputs The CATRAX Plus board has outputs for return signals, electromagnets, pictogram indicators, card collection box, and audible alarm. 5.5.2.1 Return signals The return signals indicate the moment and the direction of turn and are originated at a relay (normally open, N.O., or normally closed, N.C.

Product Manual 5.5.2.4 Connection diagram 5.5.2.5 Pictogram indicators Pictogram indicators are activated by NPN transistors (maximum of 500 mA). On activation, a GND signal is sent through the corresponding output. 5.5.2.6 Pictogram connection diagram...
5.6 N BREAK POWER UNIT In situations of power outage, a no-break power unit will allow the CATRAX Plus to continue working for at least four hours (until the battery reaches a tension of 11.4 V). Maximum charge current is 250 mA, and minimum charge time is 5 hours (ideal:...
5.7 D ISPLAY Digicon has developed a board with display for the CATRAX Plus. This board can be used by integrator companies in cases in which the equipment intelligence is located outside the equipment (for example, in a computer). Messages are configured with a serial communication interface and are selected manually (relay).
Product Manual The following table describes the functions of the board connected to the display. Signal Name/Description RS-232 INPUTS Input 1 Input 2 Input 3 Input 4 Input 5 Input 6 Input 7 Synchronicity RS-485 - comm. Ground + comm. POWER SUPPLY Power between 7 and 24VDC GND power supply...

Product Manual 4. Click on the Mensagem (Message) menu and Receber mensagens (Receive messages). After 5 seconds, the programmable messages configured for the display will appear. Change the desired message and click on Enviar (Send). 5. On the Mensagem (Message) menu, click on Habilitar/Desabilitar (Enable/Disable).
Product Manual 5.7.2 Adjusting the display manually 5.7.2.1 Default message selection To select a default message, all you have to do is switch on the GND (by relay contact, for example) on the inputs corresponding to the message, as shown in the table below: Inputs Standard...
In the software, all you have to do is send the desired commands to address 255; all displays will be changed simultaneously. 5.7.3 Connection table To connect the display to the CATRAX Plus, use the same outputs that are used for the pictogram kit: CATRAX Plus...
