UMD Model 527A
UMD VAST™ Diamondhead Series Turnstile Validator

The M527 'Diamondhead' Validator is part of the UMD VAST™ lineup of Validators used for scanning tickets or NFC tags to enable patron entry to venues or attractions.

Validator is cloud-connected to the UMD VAST™ access control and ticketing system and optionally controls ingress and egress via a connected turnstile, gate or other physical barriers.

The Diamondhead is a two-way capable unit with the option to house one or two Validators. One validator for single direction (e.g. entry only) and the other for the exit if scanning out of the area is desired to track patrons movements and limit their transitions between areas depending on their ticket attributes.

The Validator allows patrons to scan their ticket barcode or tap their NFC passes (depending on installed, separate reader devices) to gain entry to the venue or to record their presence at the venue via the UMD VAST™ cloud service.

A key feature of the M527 ‘Diamondhead’ Validator is the inclusion of a 7” high-brightness LCD for displaying instructions and responses to the patrons as well as streaming video for patron information or advertising.

The slimline validator mounts to the top of a turnstile or gate barrier and requires wired LAN with to operate. It requires either PoE (802.3af) power or a 9-36VDC supply available separately.

The flexible system allows ease of access for installation and maintenance

Note that the unit comes with one or two validators installed but does not include readers/scanners. These are ordered and installed separately depending on the installation situation.
