LOCKING MECHANISM
When correctly installed mechanically and electrically as described above, the SX EX
ELECTROMAGNETIC LOCK will provide both a reliable locking solution and door status information
for access control purposes.
Locking is achieved when the armature (keeper) is in full contact with the Electromagnetic lock and
either 12V DC or 24V DC is applied (depending on product version).
When electrically locking the door, ideally the lock should ONLY be energized when ‘door closed
status’ has been detected AND after allowing ‘settling time’ to ensure the door to be completely come
to rest in its normal closed position.
SPECIAL NOTE 4:
This is a ‘permanently energized to lock’ product. The case is specially designed to dissipate
heat and acts as a natural heat sink. The external temperature of the unit will therefore rise
under normal use and may become hot.
DOOR STATUS MONITORING
To monitor ‘door status’ the magnetic switch contacts should be appropriately whetted by the
monitoring / ACS system with low current 12/24V DC. The contacts operation may be used by the
monitoring / access control system to positively confirm the state of the secured door.
Contact operation will correspond to the door being opened or closed in line with the truth table for the
specific type variant being supplied. See the Connectivity Wiring & Fusing Table by Model Number on
pages 8 & 9 of this booklet.
The minimum fusing requirements for the door contact should be adhered to in order to comply with
the ‘X’ Conditions of this product.
