and 6-1/2" long.
4. Install an armature reinforcement plate or the Amp mounting plate so that there is a 5/8" pocket when
measured from the leading edge of the door. The AMP mounting plate is used to reinforce the mortise cutout
in a wood door. It is secured to the door with four (4) #10 wood screws and then the EMLock armature is
secured to the mounting plate with a 5/16"-18 x 3/4" bolt.

Use the system wiring diagram to configure the EMLock for 12 VDC or 24 VDC operation.
Although using a DC power supply is recommended, a transformer with a bridge rectifier may also be used as a
DC power source. If you are using a transformer and rectifier, a transformer with the correct output voltage must
be used. Access controls must not be wired to the AC side of the bridge rectifier or power supply. Access
controls must always be wired to break the DC side of the power source.
