Fitting Instructions for Slimline Electro Magnetic Lock - Model 10001/2/3/4 REV 1.

0
Slimline magnetic lock is suitable for Timber or Aluminium Internal doors to provide controlled access via an Access
Control System. It should not be used as the only lock securing the door, a mortice deadlock or similar should also be fitted.
It is essential that the Header Frame and Top Rail of the door are strong enough to accommodate the magnet and Armature
Plate, if in doubt consult door and frame supplier for advice.
NOTE: THIS LOCK IS SUITABLE FOR SOLID DOORS 35 - 55mm THICK OR HOLLOW DOORS 35 - 46mm THICK.
Important points to consider during installation:
1. Check that the door is properly aligned with the door frame when in the closed position. If the gap around the
door and frame is not equal the magnet should not be fitted until the door is correctly aligned.
2. Always handle the equipment with care as damage to the mating surfaces of the magnet or armature plate may
reduce locking efficiency.
3. Ensure the correct screws and fittings from the fixing pack are used as incorrect screws or fittings will affect the
operation of the magnetic lock and armature plate.
4. It is essential that the magnetic lock and armature plate are correctly aligned and installed correctly.
5. When using the template the door must be in the closed and latched position.
6. Thread lock must be applied to all threads on the magnetic lock and fixing brackets and the armature
plate bolt.

There are two different fixing options for Outward opening doors and one for Inward opening doors.
The fixing option you use will depend on the height and depth of the Door frame header.
1. Fig. 1 shows an outward opening door with a deep frame header. The Standard Flat Mounting plate which comes with
the magnet can be used if measurement 'A' is at least 50mm (2") and 'B' is at least 50mm (2").
2. Fig. 2 shows an outward opening door with a shallow frame header. The optional Transom 'L' bracket (AC-EMBR008)
must be used if measurement 'A' is less than 35mm (1.38") and 'B' is at least 50mm (2").
3. Fig. 3 shows an inward opening door for which the 'Z&L' bracket set must be used. The optional 'Z&L' bracket set
(AC-EMBR089F) must be used if measurement 'A' is up to 25mm (1") and 'B' is at least 65mm (2.56"), 'C' must be at
least 40mm (1.57").
If any of the above measurement requirements do not match you may need to use a different magnetic lock.

Wiring Instructions for Slimline Magnet - 10001/10002/10004/10006 REV 1.0

The Slimline magnet is designed to be operated by 12 or 24 volt DC systems. The Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
in the magnet is factory set for 12V operation but can easily be changed for 24V operation (see wiring detail).
The PCB also has built - in protection against Back EMF surges which means a seperate Diode or MOV is not
needed. Because the magnet is Fail Unlock (Fail Safe) it needs a constant DC supply to hold the Armature
plate in position, it is therefore recommended that a Rechargable Battery is fitted in the Power supply.

Important Points to consider before Installation:-

1. The Magnet must be connected to a Regulated DC Power supply (Ideally with Battery
Backup facility).
2. Input voltage at the magnet PCB must be 12 or 24V `10%
3. The PCB already has built-in protection against Back EMF surges.
4. The Maximum current draw for 12V is 500mA and for 24V 250mA (Double version will
draw twice as much).
5. DO NOT reverse polarity as this will result in damage to the PCB and Coil.
6. There are two versions of the PCB - Unmonitored (Models 10001 and 10003) and
Monitored (Models 10002 and 10004).
7. Ensure all cabling and wiring connections conform to current Electrical Legislation.
