Overview
The ZKTeco Saturn-T1000 is a drop-arm tripod turnstile with a 550 mm pedestrian lane. Its cabinet uses powder-coated cold-rolled SPCC steel, while the rotating tripod rods are SUS304 stainless steel. The polycarbonate and 2.5D tempered-glass lid provides the verification area. This is the base T1000 model, not the separately named T1000 Pro motorised configuration.
The manufacturer lists face, RFID and static/dynamic QR arrangements, including a post-mounted G4 Pro facial terminal, under-mount QR500 reader and ProID10 RFID reader. These are credential options rather than an included three-reader package. A C3, InBio or suitable third-party access controller must match the selected reader and available chassis space. CVAccess/CVSecurity compatibility depends on the connected control panel, so the barrier name alone does not establish the host licence or credential capacity.
The documented assembly dimensions are 1200 by 734 by 1020 millimetres, with 25 kg listed weight. Its normal-use indication combines a buzzer and blue, green and red status lights. The published flow figures are 25 people per minute for RFID or QR and 15 for facial authentication, rather than one uniform rate for every method. The arm drops during power failure or an emergency signal. The exact base-model manual specifies a manual arm reset after power returns, a selection-relevant distinction from the Pro model’s documented automatic raising function.
Applications & Use Cases
- Changing passage policy through a wired control box: The exact base T1000 manual describes an RS485-connected wired box with Authorised, Free, Blocked and Always Open modes. Use the matching optional control arrangement to manage the lane policy; an RS485 port alone does not establish compatibility with any generic remote box.
Product FAQs
How soon can the dropped arm be raised after power returns?
The base T1000 manual says to wait at least six seconds after power restoration before manually lifting the arms. Do not substitute the automatic-lift behaviour documented for T1000 Pro.
Does its drop-arm function require a powered fire signal?
The manufacturer specifies a voltage-free contact input for the fire connection. Match the actual emergency interface and commission the release behaviour rather than assuming any powered alarm output can be connected directly.
Can it be installed outdoors without shelter?
The exact base profile specifies outdoor use if sheltered and describes a self-laboratory result equivalent to IPX4. That differs from the broader outdoor statement on the Pro datasheet; the Pro description should not be transferred to this base model.
What should be planned where ambient heat regularly exceeds50°C?
The base T1000 manual recommends optional cooling fans where working temperature frequently exceeds50°C. A published overall temperature range does not establish that every hot installation can omit those manual-specific provisions.
Does SPCC powder coating remove the need for servicing?
No. The exact manual calls for regular surface cleaning, movement lubrication and checks of the electrical connections, with professional handling and power isolation for internal work. A coated cabinet is not a maintenance-free store service commitment.
