LOTC TC-3501 Optical Swing Turnstile Series represents a premium line of access control solutions designed to combine sophisticated security with elegant aesthetics. Available in both single-lane (TC-3501S) and dual-lane (TC-3501D) configurations, this versatile series provides efficient pedestrian management while enhancing the visual appeal of entrance areas in various facilities.
Design and Construction
The TC-3501 series features a robust framework constructed from high-quality 304 stainless steel, complemented by transparent plexiglass swing arms and full glass side panels. This combination creates a modern, unobtrusive appearance that integrates seamlessly with contemporary architectural designs. The standard dimensions of 1200 × 200 × 980mm per lane make it suitable for installation in various spaces, with the single-lane model weighing 60kg and the dual-lane model weighing 70kg to ensure stability during operation.
Configuration Options
The TC-3501 series offers flexible configuration options to meet diverse security requirements:
- TC-3501S (Single Core): Ideal for standard access points with single or bi-directional passage control, perfect for smaller entrances or facilities with moderate traffic flow.
- TC-3501D (Double Core): Designed for high-traffic areas requiring simultaneous bi-directional passage management, making it ideal for main entrances, lobbies, and areas with significant pedestrian volume.
Access Control Capabilities
Both models in the TC-3501 series support integration with virtually any third-party access control technology, including:
- Card readers (proximity, smart card, magnetic)
- QR and barcode scanning systems
- Biometric authentication (fingerprint, facial recognition, palm vein)
- Remote control systems
- Touchless button activation
This versatility allows the turnstiles to be incorporated into existing security ecosystems or serve as the foundation for new access control implementations.
Performance Specifications
The TC-3501 series delivers impressive performance with a standard flow rate of 40 people per minute per lane, making it suitable for medium to high-traffic environments. Both models feature a Mean Cycles Before Failure (MCBF) rating of 10 million operations, demonstrating exceptional durability and reliability for long-term use.
Technical Features
- Operating voltage: 24V DC
- Power consumption: 40W
- Power supply: AC220V/110V, 50/60Hz
- Operating temperature range: -20°C to 75°C
- Operating humidity: 0 to 95% (non-condensing)
- Passage width: 600-800mm standard (900mm optional for accessibility compliance)
- LED indicators: Dual-color system (green for entry permission, red for no entry)

- Emergency function: Automatic arm opening during power outages
- Communication interfaces: Dry contact, relay signal, RS485
Safety and Security
The TC-3501 series incorporates multiple safety features, including infrared sensors that detect obstacles and prevent the arms from closing on users. The automatic arm-opening function during power failures ensures safe evacuation in emergency situations. The system’s sophisticated detection capabilities minimize false alarms while maintaining high security standards.
Installation and Environment
Designed for versatility, the TC-3501 series is suitable for both indoor and sheltered outdoor installations. Its elegant design makes it appropriate for various settings, including:
- Corporate office buildings
- Government facilities
- Financial institutions
- Educational campuses
- Healthcare facilities
- Transportation hubs
- Recreational and entertainment venues
Integration and Customization
The turnstile’s flexible architecture allows for seamless integration with existing security systems and building management platforms. Its communication interfaces support various protocols, enabling straightforward connection to centralized control systems for comprehensive security management.
Choosing Between Models
When selecting between the TC-3501S and TC-3501D models, consider:
- Traffic Volume: For higher traffic areas, the TC-3501D provides more efficient people flow management with its dual-lane configuration.
- Space Constraints: The TC-3501S offers a more compact footprint for installations with limited space.
- Directional Requirements: While both models support bi-directional passage, the TC-3501D is optimized for simultaneous entry and exit traffic.
- Budget Considerations: The TC-3501S provides a cost-effective solution for locations with moderate security requirements, while the TC-3501D offers enhanced capabilities for more demanding environments.
