Problem
Probable Cause
Solution
Red LED turns green
when access
accepted, but door
does not open
Various: power
supply voltage
problems, locking
device power supply
not set correctly
1. Check power supply voltage.
2. Monitor voltage at unit’s V+
and V- terminals (on P1) with
meter, enter a valid code, and
ensure that voltage remains
constant while locking device
attempts to unlock and relock. If
voltage varies 1/4 volt or more
during this test, this is a problem
you
must
correct; look for the
following:
-verify that power supply is rated
sufficiently for all equipment
being powered
-verify that locking device, if on
same power supply, is set up for
current being drawn (example: if
a lock draws 300mA at 24VDC,
same lock may draw 600mA at
12VDC, especially if the unit
requires that jumpers be placed
in a different configuration
-place meter across lock power
wires at lock and ensure the lock
is receiving proper voltage
