Some locks can be configured for 12V or 24V supply. They should be set for 24V operation and run
off the 24V supply to reduce the current consumption to 0.25A per lock. To set the Maglock for 24V
operation, open the terminal access cover on the lock. Remove the two black links from the circuit
board and refit one of them across the middle two pins. Park the spare link with one side on one of
the empty end pins so it is not lost. If in doubt, refer to the instructions supplied with the maglock.
In all cases a diode rated at 1A 50V or more must be wired directly across the terminals of each door
lock. Lasermet’s Maglocks usually have the diode fitted as standard, in which case it is essential that
the supply is connected the right way round.

Expansion Boards
The ICS-7-OEM can be connected to one or more Lasermet Interlock Expansion Boards which
provide extra functionality.
Boards which are currently available include:
Active Guarding Interface
Lasermet’s Active Guarding system is intended to be used with lasers which are potentially capable
of damaging or burning through their enclosures. The enclosure is lined with replaceable active
detection panels. If the laser burns through the panel it is shut down before it burns through the
enclosure. The fail-safe Interface is available in the form of backplanes and plug-in interface boards
and is able to monitor large enclosures. The ICS-7-OEM is able to automatically test the operation of
the Active Guarding each time the system is armed.
Safety Logic Plus Interface
Safety Logic Plus consists of a range of fail-safe logic function blocks which can be hardwired to
realise a complex safety interlock. Each block is dual-channel crosschecked and does not use
processors or software. Programming is achieved through hardwiring. This means obsolescence is
minimised and the system is maintainable for a long service life. The Interface Board allows ICS-7-
OEM to read the output of a Safety Logic Plus system whilst automatically testing it and providing
fault protection.
Relay Expansion Card
This module contains a number of uncommitted relays which may be connected as required to
provide extra functionality or for interfacing to alarm, security or process control systems.
Other types of expansion boards are under development.
