ZKTeco FBL500 Flap Barrier

Overview

The ZKTeco FBL500 is a single lane flap barrier for office receptions, factory entrances, schools and residential societies where people must pass one at a time with a card or fingerprint. It is supplied with the access control reader already fitted and tested at the factory, so it arrives ready for installation rather than needing a reader added on site.

The cabinet and lid are SUS304 stainless steel with retracting acrylic flaps, and the 600 mm lane is a little wider than the FBL200.

Is it right for you?

• Suits a supervised entrance that wants a barrier and reader delivered as one tested unit.
• Choose it over the FBL200 if you prefer the slightly wider 600 mm lane.
• It is a medium security barrier. For an unattended perimeter, a full height turnstile is the better choice.
• For a wheelchair or trolley lane, pair it with a swing barrier.
• It can be used outdoors only under shelter. For an exposed entrance, see the FBL700.

Key features

• 600 mm lane width, with a cabinet of 1,360 x 280 x 980 mm.
• Up to 30 people per minute, with an opening time of 0.8 s.
• Opening noise of 30 dB or less, quiet enough for a reception area.
• Mean cycles between failures (MCBF) of 2 million, a measure of how many openings it is built for.
• Flaps retract automatically in an emergency, and during a power cut when a battery is installed.
• LED indicators show which way the lane is open.
• Runs on 100 to 120 V or 200 to 240 V AC at 50 or 60 Hz, and works from -20 to 70 °C at 5 to 90% humidity, non-condensing.

What else you need

User management software or an access controller, mains power to the cabinet, a fire alarm contact for emergency release where required, and floor ducting for the cables.

An optional battery if the lane must open on its own during a power cut.

Installation

A turnstile installer should fit it. The job involves fixing the cabinet to a level floor, running power, network and fire alarm cabling through floor ducts, and setting the lane direction and reader logic with the software or controller. The reader is already fitted and tested, which shortens the work on site.

Before you buy

• Choose the reader type, card or fingerprint, when ordering, so it can be fitted and tested before dispatch.
• Add the optional battery if the lane must open during power cuts.
• Outdoor use needs shelter from rain and direct weather.
