Wire Gauge Factoring
1.1
Remote Power Supply
x
The Magnalock requires adequate voltage and current for proper operation.
x
Resistance is created by the length and gauge (size) of the wire being used.
x
An accurate estimated distance from the power supply to the opening is crucial.
x
For superior operation the correct size gauge wire must be used.
x
The devices used operate the best with the least amount of resistance on the source.
x
Using the correct gauge wires protects against large voltage and current (load) losses.
x
The gauge is determined by the wire distance, voltage and current of all devices.
