ZKTeco FBL700 Flap Barrier

Overview

The ZKTeco FBL700 is a single lane flap barrier for entrances that run all day, such as corporate campuses, factories, hospitals and transport facilities, where durability matters as much as speed. It ships with your choice of card or fingerprint reader already fitted and tested at the factory.

Unlike the FBL200 to FBL500, it is rated for indoor or outdoor use, so it can stand at an open staff gate as well as in a lobby. The cabinet is SUS304 stainless steel with a black painted SPCC cold rolled steel lid and retracting acrylic flaps.

Is it right for you?

• Suits a high use entrance, indoors or outdoors, where a long service life is important: it is rated to 5 million cycles.
• It is a medium security barrier, so pair it with supervision or CCTV. For an unattended perimeter, a full height turnstile is the better choice.
• For a wheelchair or trolley lane, pair it with a swing barrier, since the 600 mm lane is sized for one walking person.

Key features

• Mean cycles between failures (MCBF) of 5 million, a measure of how many openings it is built for.
• 600 mm lane width, with a cabinet of 1,200 x 300 x 980 mm.
• Up to 30 people per minute, with an opening time of 0.8 s and noise of 30 dB or less.
• An LCD on the control board makes set-up simpler for the installer.
• Flaps retract in an emergency, and during a power cut when a battery is installed.
• Smooth finish with no exposed screws, and LED indicators that 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 -28 to 60 °C at 5 to 80% humidity.

What else you need

Access control software or a controller, mains power at the cabinet, floor ducts for the cabling, and an optional backup 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 and network cabling through floor ducts, and setting the lane direction and reader logic from the control board and software. The reader is already fitted and tested, which shortens the work on site.

Before you buy

• Decide the reader type, card or fingerprint, at order stage, since it is fitted before dispatch.
• It is a medium security barrier, so plan for supervision or CCTV at the entrance.
