MAGNASPHERE L2X-800 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: All Models of (L2X) 800-Series  [Page:1]

CAUTION: MAGNASPHERE MAGNET MODULES AND ANTI-REMOVAL MAGNETS ARE EXTREMELY POWERFUL: TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID THE MAGNETIC ATTRACTION OF 

SHARP TOOLS AND TO AVOID INJURY FROM THE PINCHING FORCE BETWEEN THE MAGNET AND FERROUS METALS OR OTHER MAGNETS

.

Required Tools and Components

Provided by Manufacturer (per module set)

1 L2X switch module

1 L2X magnet module

7 switch & magnet module self-tapping screws (#10-32 x 2")

1 self-tapping screw (#6, 1" long)

2 1/16" plastic spacer plates

1 Removal-Tamper magnet

2 Removal-Tamper caps

1 1/2" NPT Plug

(P/N: SP062)

Provided by Installer

Intrinsically Safe Barrier (Listed to at least the Hazardous Location Class)

Power drill

Drills bits: #35,#21

Phillips screwdriver or a Phillips bit for use in the drill/bit-driver

Rule (or any linear measuring instrument)

A center punch (& hammer) for more accurate hole locations may be used

A pilot drill bit for screws (3/32" or smaller) may be used

Additional 1/16” SPACERS (10/ BAG – MAGNASPHERE P/N SP062)

Adjustable wrench

Pipe wrench 

Thread Locking Compound 

or a lockable N.P.T plug

 (see p.2 #3, note) 

Rigid 1/2" NPT Conduit (18" Min. per UL634 Level 2 Standard)

Installation Plan

Plan to mount the switch module to the door frame, close to the door/frame gap and without door-swing 

interference. The magnet module should be mounted directly below the switch.  Spacers may be used to 

attain sufficient alignment of the modules.  Recommended placement for the set is 8 inches from the latch 

side of the door, at the top.  The operating gap must not exceed 3/16".  Provided templates may assist 

locating holes.  *

A gap up to 1/8" is required for compliance with UL634 Level 2 high security standard.

Mark & pilot-drill all hole locations.  Drill the 3 mounting hole locations for the #10 screw (#21 bit).  

Drill the 

Removal-Tamper screw location for the #6 screw (#35 bit).

  Hold the switch module in position: Drive each 

screw in until seated, securing the device.

       CAUTION: Magnasphere's magnet module and anti-removal magnet are extremely powerful: Take 

precautions to avoid the magnetic attraction between the magnet and ferrous metals (or other 

magnets)

.  Align the magnet module directly below the switch module.  Determine whether spacers are 

needed to achieve mounted alignment of the modules.  Hold the magnet module and any spacers in position 

and drill the 4 hole locations for #10 screws (#21 bit).  Drive each screw in until seated, securing the device.  

Insert the Removal-Tamper magnet and then the Removal-Tamper plug into the 3/8" hole at the face of the 

switch module.  Check that the gap between modules is no greater than 1/8".  The mechanical installation of 

the set is complete.
