1.2 Safety Instructions
Page 6 © SKIDATA AG, Version 1.0
 These instructions, particularly the safety instructions, must be
followed by all operators responsible for maintaining and con-
figuring the unit.
 Applicable local rules and regulations for accident prevention
must be adhered to at all times.
1.2.2.1 Operating hazards of Turnstile 350
 There is a theoretical risk of small children being hit in the
back of the head by the automatically controlled turnstile bars.
This danger can be virtually eliminated by deactivating the
light sensor.
(Note: Automatic control of the turnstile bars facilitates the proc-
ess of clearing the gate, as it requires no force on the part of the
user.)
In model DKZ 350 S1 with only one bar, the automatic control
function cannot be deactivated. The use of model DKZ 350 S1
turnstiles therefore requires additional measures to minimise the
risk of injury to small children. Such measures might include
multi-lingual warning messages, pictograms, etc, to caution ac-
companying adults against the danger.
1.2.2.2 Safety precautions during maintenance
Danger of injury to fingers by rotating worm drive when gear
casing is open.
 To avoid injury, turn off the turnstile unit during maintenance
or avoid reaching into the gear casing while the turnstile bars
are in motion.
 When maintenance work is performed on the turnstile unit, the
access area must be cordoned off for the duration.
1.2.2.3 Obligation of the operator to meet safety
requirements
According to EU Directive ‘98/37/EC Machinery’ operator is un-
der obligation
 to provide adequate means for securing the danger area
around the turnstile unit and to caution against remaining
safety hazards;
 to restrict handling of the turnstile unit to authorised personnel
who have been properly instructed in the operation of the turn-
stile and who have been advised of possible dangers in train-
ing courses provided by SKIDATA AG and the study of the
