The TUT-65TM is designed for barcode ticket scanning applications. The TUT-65TM is a fix mounted, hard-wired turnstile intended for use intended for new construction capable of providing direct communications with the ticketing systems. The turnstile includes a mechanical register to count entries as well as the ability to send counts to a PC based counting system at a remote location. An added feature is the built-in ticket box which allows manual ticket collection and validation during non-scanning events. Turnstiles can be purchased as mechanical counting turnstiles which can be easily field upgraded to electronic control, or as electronic units with the scanning systems already integrated into the turnstile, depending on the facilities particular requirements.
