Wire Gauge Factoring
1.1 Remote Power Supply
 The Magnalock requires adequate voltage and current for proper operation.
 Resistance is created by the length and gauge (size) of the wire being used.
 An accurate estimated distance from the power supply to the opening is crucial.
 For superior operation the correct size gauge wire must be used.
 The devices used operate the best with the least amount of resistance on the source.
 Using the correct gauge wires protects against large voltage and current (load) losses.
 The gauge is determined by the wire distance, voltage and current of all devices.
1.2 Determining Wire Gauge
 Follow Example A (12VDC system) and Example B (24VDC system) below.
 Use Tables 1 and Table 2 to choose the correct wire gauge for the application.
1.2.1 Example A: (12VDC system)
Using Table 1 (12VDC) Find:
Solution: 18 Gauge is indicated for proper installation
DPS Does Not Report Door Status
Check strike mounting for proper alignment
Check for proper door closure
Check for proper voltage/current on switch
Check resettable protection device
The Magnalock Does Not Release
Make sure no voltage is present at Magnalock
Make sure the Magnalock is not drawing current
Check if the strike is sticky and hard to release
Check the Magnalock and strike for obstructions
and that contact surfaces are properly cleaned
The Magnalock is Dirty or Rusty
Improper cleaning – Maintenance Equipment
Electronic Noise Interference with
Access Control System
Check for voltage from Magnalock to door frame.
There should be no voltage present.
