1.2 Safety Instructions
All components of the AS x70i DUO (all variants) have been sub-
jected to a series of safety tests. Any remaining dangers that
may exist are pointed out during system training courses as well
as in this manual and the installation guide.
1.2.1 General safety instructions and warnings
System devices may be used exclusively for their intended
purpose, as specified by the manufacturer.
Unauthorised modifications of the devices as well as the use
of replacement parts and/or add-on devices not approved by
the manufacturer may increase the risk of electric shock or
cause other serious bodily harm and will void the manufac-
turer’s warranty.
The setup, installation, maintenance and configuration of the
devices is limited to certified electricians with special training
in accident prevention.
The executive or commissioned technician, or the project
manager, is responsible for ensuring that the devices are in-
stalled and configured in compliance with local technical re-
quirements as well as other applicable local rules and
regulations. This applies particularly to cable dimensions,
protection against risks, earth connection, deactivation, dis-
connection, insulation testing, and overcurrent protection.
1.2.1.1 Notes concerning wearers of medical
devices and implants
SKIDATA™ devices are CE certified and therefore comply with
all applicable health and safety guidelines.
Like all handsfree scanners and contactless RF devices (e.g., ski
lift access control devices), SKIDATA™ handsfree products used
for contactless processing (reading and coding) of chip-based
data carriers inevitably generate an electromagnetic field in close
proximity to the antenna. To ensure the greatest possible safety
for wearers of active medical implants (e.g. pacemakers), RF-
based SKIDATA™ devices have been subjected to further tests
by an accredited testing body.
The test results indicate that SKIDATA™ devices, when used as
directed, are perfectly safe for pacemaker wearers passing a
handsfree ski lift access gate (note that this does not necessarily
apply to devices by other manufacturers). However, to safeguard
the health of those concerned (e.g. pacemaker wearers) and to
comply with statutory warning obligations, people wearing medi-
cal devices (e.g. pacemakers) should be required to adhere to
the general recommendations for the use of electromagnetic de-
vices in addition to the following guidelines:
1 AS x70i DUO (all variants)
1.2 Safety Instructions
Page 4 © SKIDATA AG, Version 1.0
Persons affected by these guidelines (e.g. pacemaker wear-
ers) are not allowed to place keycards or other contactless
(electronic) access control data carriers next to the implant
when passing an access device.
When passing through an access gate, a minimum distance
of 30 cm should be kept between the antenna and the implant
(to ensure this minimum distance, the use of a Swatch Access
watch or Gore [s-key] gloves is recommended).
Wearers of medical implants such as pacemakers should
avoid leaning against an antenna unit.
For wearers of medical implants such as pacemakers, the
time of exposure to the RF scanning signal should be as short
as possible when passing through the gate at normal speed;
when queuing, they should stand at an appropriate distance
from RF-based devices.
Persons experiencing problems such as dizziness or nausea
when passing an antenna should leave the scanning range of
the device immediately.
Antennas must bear a warning label or prohibit label (shown in
figures below), which must be readily visible to wearers of medi-
cal devices. In addition, a warning sign with the above-
mentioned safety guidelines should be placed at every point of
initial access (e.g. cash desks).
Also, lift staff should receive appropriate instructions to be able to
provide information and assistance if and when required.

1.2.1.2 Danger of injury by rotating parts
Operators should be aware of the danger of bruising by the rotat-
ing worm drive inside Turnstile DKZ 350.
DANGER OF INJURY – Never touch these parts while the
unit is in operation.
1.2.2 Safety instructions – Turnstile DKZ 350
The DKZ 350 Turnstile unit is a machine as defined by EU Direc-
tive ‘98/37/EC Machinery’. This directive sets forth the safety re-
quirements to be met by both the manufacturer and the operator
of the turnstile unit.
The DKZ 350 Turnstile Unit has been designed and manufac-
tured in accordance with the most advanced technological stan-
dards and in full compliance with acknowledged technical rules
and regulations. However, the possibility of impairment to mate-
rial assets or injury to users or operators cannot be ruled out
completely. Remaining dangers are pointed out in this manual
as well as during system training courses.
The turnstile unit may be used only
for its intended purpose (see below)
if it is operationally safe
Any faults which might impair the operating safety of the unit
must be removed without delay.
To ensure a safe and fault-free operation of the DKZ 350
Turnstile, operators must be familiar with the basic instruc-
tions and regulations regarding operating safety.
Fig. 2:
Prohibition label
1 AS x70i DUO (all variants)
1.2 Safety Instructions
Page 6 © SKIDATA AG, Version 1.0
These instructions, particularly the safety instructions, must be
followed by all operators responsible for maintaining and con-
figuring the unit.
Applicable local rules and regulations for accident prevention
must be adhered to at all times.
1.2.2.1 Operating hazards of Turnstile 350
There is a theoretical risk of small children being hit in the
back of the head by the automatically controlled turnstile bars.
This danger can be virtually eliminated by deactivating the
light sensor.
(Note: Automatic control of the turnstile bars facilitates the proc-
ess of clearing the gate, as it requires no force on the part of the
user.)
In model DKZ 350 S1 with only one bar, the automatic control
function cannot be deactivated. The use of model DKZ 350 S1
turnstiles therefore requires additional measures to minimise the
risk of injury to small children. Such measures might include
multi-lingual warning messages, pictograms, etc, to caution ac-
companying adults against the danger.
1.2.2.2 Safety precautions during maintenance
Danger of injury to fingers by rotating worm drive when gear
casing is open.
To avoid injury, turn off the turnstile unit during maintenance
or avoid reaching into the gear casing while the turnstile bars
are in motion.
When maintenance work is performed on the turnstile unit, the
access area must be cordoned off for the duration.
1.2.2.3 Obligation of the operator to meet safety
requirements
According to EU Directive ‘98/37/EC Machinery’ operator is un-
der obligation
to provide adequate means for securing the danger area
around the turnstile unit and to caution against remaining
safety hazards;
to restrict handling of the turnstile unit to authorised personnel
who have been properly instructed in the operation of the turn-
stile and who have been advised of possible dangers in train-
ing courses provided by SKIDATA AG and the study of the
AS x70i DUO (all variants) 1

1.3.4 Cleaning the barcode scanner
Dirt accumulating on the optical system of the reader may cause
a reduction in recognition rate and ticket reading speed. This can
be prevented by cleaning the lenses of the barcode scanner at
regular intervals (at least once every four weeks; more frequently
if the device is exposed to conditions that cause heavy soiling).
The lenses must also be cleaned in case of reading errors.
Note that the barcode scanner module of the AS x70i DUO can-
not be de-installed. As a result, the scanner modules may only be
cleaned by trained staff.
