To Ensure Instant Release All switching devices must be wired in
between the DC power source and the positive terminal of the lock
as illustrated in Fig 2.
Switching the negative power supply line will not allow the lock to
release immediately. RCI electromagnetic locks contain MOV’s for
surge suppression and do not require any additional suppression
to be added during installation. The installation of diodes across the
lock input terminals will cause a delay in release.

Low Voltage Detection
Each circuit board includes a low voltage detection circuit that is
enabled when shipped from the factory. This feature will cause
the Local Alarm relay and status LED to activate and the Remote
Alarm relay to de-energize should the lock input voltage drop below
9.0VDC. That signals a monitored system or guard station that the
holding force of the lock may have been compromised.
