Product Power Input Wiring:
For VM1200 and VM600 Series, this can be wired directly onto the PCB terminal
block that has label + and -.
For VM300 Series, these are flying leads. Red wire is + and black wire is -.
(NO NEED TO REMOVE COVER PLATE FOR VM300)
Wiring for models with MBS:
For VM1200 and VM600 Series, the signal is given out from SPDT relay. Wiring can
be done through PCB 3-block terminal labels NC, COM, and NO.
For VM300 series has 3 flying leads. Black wire is COM, green wire is NO and white
wire is NC.
Wiring for models with DPS:
For VM1200 Series, the signal is given out from the 3 block terminal (NC, COM,
NO) that is labeled Reed on the PCB. For VM600 Series, there are 3 flying leads.
Black wire is COM, green wire is NO and white wire is NC.
Product Specification:
• Holding Force - VM1200 Series: 1200 lbs (544 Kg)
VM600 Series: 600 lbs (272 Kg)
VM300 Series: 300 lbs (136 Kg)
• 12 & 24 volts DC operation (selectable).
Note:
Factory default setting is 12VDC.
Product Type:
• Besides unmonitored version, all VM Series locks have either magnetic bond
sensor (MBS) or door position switch (DPS) or both.
• For VM1200 and VM600 Series, magnetic bond sensor uses hall effect
sensor. For VM300 Series, uses change-over reed switch sensor.
• For VM1200 and VM600 Series, door position sensing uses change-over reed
switch sensor.
VM1200 and VM600 Series with MBS:
• For VM1200 and VM600 Series, the LED operation color can be field set. The
colors can be reversed simply by reversing the 2 pin plug connection on the PCB.
• There is no LED or DPS available on the VM300 Series
• The factory default setting is as follows:
LED indicator off
(No power to the magnet)
LED indicator red
(Power on magnet, door open)
LED indicator green (Power on magnet, door closed)
•
Note:
where the Maglock has both MBS and DPS, the LED
indicates as per the MBS model.
Product Dimensions (L x W x H):
VM1200 Series - 10-1/2” x 2-7/8” x 1-9/16” [266mm x 72mm x 40mm]
VM600 Series - 9-3/8” x 1-7/8” x 1-1/6” [238mm x 48mm x 26.5mm]
VM300 Series - 6-11/16” x 1-5/8” x 7/8” [170mm x 41.4mm x 22.8mm]
Installation Requirements:
• Adjust onboard PCB shunt settings for correct operating voltage prior to
applying power to the EML.
For 12 volts two shunts must be installed:
- First shunt joining pins 1 & 2
- Second shunt joining pins 3 & 4.
For a 24 volt system only one shunt is required, joining pins 2 & 3.

STANDARD MOUNTING METHOD
• Use the supplied template
to determine the correct
location and size of
mounting holes for both
the door and frame
header. Ensure that the
door opens away from the
Maglock. In the case of a
single door, the Maglock is
positioned as close as
possible to the vertical
section of the door jamb.
• Loosely install the mounting plate using two of the supplied philips
head mounting screws in the elongated slots. Attach the Maglock to the
mounting plate.
ADJUST POSITION OF MAGNET RELATIVE TO THE ARMATURE
• Ensure the armature and magnet are aligned. Adjust the
mounting plate to suit and then drill the appropriate sized
holes in the door header for the remaining attachment screws.
• Align the armature plate on
the door using sight or the
template supplied.
• Mark and drill holes then
mount the armature to
the door. Make sure that
the armature plate is not
over tightened and that it is
installed as shown in the
following diagram. The
armature plate must be free
to self align with the door.
