Health and Safety
Any installation must comply with any local Fire, Health and Safety regulations. A secured
door that may be part of an escape route from an area should be fitted with:
•
A
Fail-Safe
lock
(A)
, so that the door will be released if the power fails. Ideally a
magnetic lock should be used as these are less likely to jam or seize.
•
A normally-closed
Break-Glass
or
Manual Pull
(B)
in the lock supply wiring, so
that in an emergency the Fail-Safe lock can be immediately depowered.

Checking the System
After completing the wiring of power supply, readers and locks you should make the
following checks.
Checking the System
1. Remove power. Remove all terminal blocks except for the power supply
(P1 and P2). Apply power.
You should have between 10.5 and 20V DC or between 8 and 14.5V AC across
P1 and P2.
2. Remove power. Connect Reader 1 terminal block. Apply power.
You should have between 10 and 16V DC at the controller (+V1, -V1) and 9–16V DC
at the reader (+V, -V).
3. Repeat for Reader 2, if used.
