+12V Supply
For Locking Device
Note:
To automatically unlock the door in case of fire, remove the Fire Alarm
Bypass wire and connect J18 to the Fire Alarm panel as per Fire Alarm
Panel Wiring diagram (see Annex B, Figure 10).
In this case the Electromagnetic Lock MUST be powered from the
RAC5 Lite’s +12V output as shown in this diagram.
For a secondary device same connections would apply but the 12V for
2
nd
device is J6 pin 1 which would be connected to COM J15 pin 1 with
the Mag Lock connected to NC J15 pin 2 and the Ground connection
would be connected to J6 pin 2.
