To install the BEA UL MAGLOCKS 600LB Electromagnetic Locks, follow these steps:
1. Precautions:
- Shut off all power going to the door or header before starting any wiring procedures.
- Maintain a clean and safe environment when working in public areas.
- Be aware of pedestrian traffic around the door area.
- Stop pedestrian traffic through the doorway when performing tests that may result in unexpected reactions by the door.
- Check the placement of all wiring before powering up to ensure that moving door parts will not catch any wires and cause damage.
- Ensure compliance with all applicable safety standards upon completion of installation.
2. Mechanical Installation:
- Use the provided mounting template for proper placement.
- Mount the maglock rigidly to the door frame.
- Mount the armature plate to the door using the provided hardware.
- Do not over-tighten the armature plate.
- The rubber washer allows the armature plate to automatically adjust position for the best mating position between the magnet and armature plate.
- Align the black plastic piece of the armature plate with the cover plate.
3. Electrical Installation:
- Ensure that the product is powered from a UL-listed, regulated, power-limited power supply.
- If a power switch is not wired between the DC source voltage(+) and the magnet, it may take a longer time to de-energize the magnet simulating residual magnetism.
- Dual MAGLOCK models have two circuit boards that must both be powered.
- Connect the positive (+) lead from a 12 VDC or 24 VDC power source to Terminal 1.
- Connect the negative (-) lead from the power source to Terminal 2.
- Check the jumper for the correct voltage operation.
- For lock status relay contacts (SPDT), do not exceed the rated 1A at 24 VDC.
- For door status switch (DS versions only), connect the positive (+) lead from the power source to the black wire of the Door Status Sensor switch.
- Connect the negative (-) lead from the power source to one end of the light for door status.
- Connect the red or green wire of the Door Status Sensor switch to the other end of the light for door status.
- The red color indicates the light off with the door closed, and the green color indicates the light on with the door closed.
- Do not exceed the rated 0.25 amp at 30 VAC/VDC for the reed switch dry contacts.
