Electro Magnetic Door Locks
Use only fail-safe door locks provided by Lasermet (electric door strikes or maglocks). These will
prevent access to the room while the laser is on while always allowing people to enter or leave the
room in the event of a power loss. In order to ensure that people can always enter or leave the room
in the event of an emergency it will be necessary to put an emergency stop or break glass switch
near each door.
The door should be fitted with interlock switches (see section 5.2) so that the laser is disabled if a
door is opened after using the break-glass switch.
Note that several maglocks can be wired in parallel from the same ICS-6-OEM output provided the
4A maximum rating of the contact is not exceeded.
Some locks can be configured for 12V or 24V supply. They should be set for 24V operation and run
off the 24V supply to reduce the current consumption to 0.25A per lock. To set the Maglock for 24V
operation, open the terminal access cover on the lock. Remove the two black links from the circuit
board and refit one of them across the middle two pins. Park the spare link with one side on one of
the empty end pins so it is not lost. If in doubt, refer to the instructions supplied with the maglock.
In all cases a diode rated at 1A 50V or more must be wired directly across the terminals of each door
lock. Lasermet’s Maglocks usually have the diode fitted as standard; in which case it is essential that
the supply is connected the right way round.
