1. INTRODUCTION
Securitron's Model M38 and M68 Magnalocks are fail safe electromagnetic locks designed for
*interior use in areas which require controlled access or egress.
interlocking mounting bracket and a power and control wiring access compartment which
provides the added convenience of wiring "at-the-lock". The sleek, low-profile design provides a
professional looking, unobtrusive integration into a wide range of architectural applications and
can be easily retrofitted to replace existing magnetic lock systems.

  • Page 11: Calculating Wire Gauge Sizing

    8. APPENDICES WIRE GAUGE SIZING If the power supply is distant from the lock, voltage will be lost (dropped) in the connecting wires so that the Magnalock will not receive full voltage. The following chart shows the minimum wire gauge that will hold voltage drop to an acceptable 5% for different lock to power supply distances.
  • Page 12 can make it more difficult to secure if it is stiff or rigid. Steel doors and most particularly solid steel doors such as may be found in prisons, transmit impact much more effectively to the lock and as such may be defeated by repeated leg blows or by charging the door. If the end user has such doors and/or a security environment where such determined attacks can be foreseen on the doors, it is his responsibility to ensure that the Magnalock’s strength is adequate for the application.
  • Page 13: Troubleshooting

    TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM: No magnetic attraction between magnet and strike plate. First be sure the Magnalock is being correctly powered with DC voltage. This includes connecting the power wires with correct polarity. Positive must go to red and negative to black. If the magnet body is wired in reverse polarity, it will not be damaged, but it will not operate.
  • Page 14 has been removed, it cannot be restored in the field, so the lock will have to be periodically cleaned and coated with oil or other rust inhibitor. A rusty Magnalock will still function but at reduced holding force. If the product is installed in a heavily corrosive atmosphere, such as near the ocean, it will eventually rust even with non-abrasive cleaning.
