Overview

This article covers the tasks an onsite technician performs for turnstile preventative maintenance.

If, during the course of Preventive Maintenance, the technician encounters damaged or defective components that prohibit the completion of the maintenance procedures, the labor for the repair and/or replacement of said components will be billed at the BluB0X Professional Services Rate, if not covered under a formal maintenance program.

Preventive Maintenance Tasks:

  • Ensure the turnstiles operate as intended using the access control equipment.
  • Check for obvious signs of damage to the pedestal enclosure and power supply units.
  • Remove the pedestal side panels and inspect for the accumulation of dust and debris. Clean as required.
  • Inspect the printed circuit boards, cable assemblies and power supplies for loose connections.
  • Check that the pedestal mounting hardware is secure, and tighten if necessary.
  • Measure and record the supply voltage at the respective power supplies.
  • Measure and record the supply voltage at the CPU card.
  • Test the optical beams, lane status indicators, and CPU functionality.
  • On models with barriers, measure belt tension or gear meshing. Make adjustments as required so tolerances are within specification.
  • Make adjustments on the motor controller to achieve proper alignment of barriers in all positions, as well the optimal operating speed.
  • Compile a list of damaged and or faulty components.
  • Replace any minor parts, such as side panel screws, as needed. Submit to customers a list of major components that require replacement.
  • Reassemble chassis.
