Location On Board
The type of lock that you use will depend on the application and door.
You have a few options to choose from and you can use multiple locks at a
time. Some examples include Strikes, Maglocks, and Deadbolts. Below will
explain how to connect these locks to the board.
• COM
: This port
is your +
12vDC
input
from your
power supply.
The locks don’t
receive power
from the board
directly and need
to be wired, from
the
COM
port, to
the power supply
individually. You
can use the same
power supply as
the board or a
separate PWR
Supply depending
on power
consumption of all
the equipment

• NO
: This port stands for
Normally Open
. This means there is no electrici-
ty flowing through this port in its normal state. The type of lock you would
connect to this port would be a Fail Secure lock. This is where you would
connect the + wire from the lock.
(Please See Notice 01)
• NC
: This port stands for
Normally Closed
. This means there is electricity
flowing through this port in its normal state. The type of lock you would con-
nect to this port would be a Fail Safe lock. This is where you would connect
the + wire from the lock.
(Please See Notice 01)
• GRD
: This port is where you would connect the
Ground
(-12vDC) wire from
the Lock. You can also run the ground cable to the Power Supply if the port
is getting too congested.
Please make sure
when connecting a
single lock to only
use one of the 2
choices (NO or NC).
