TABLE OF CONTENTS AND GUIDE TO THIS MANUAL
There are two Shear Aligning Magnalock families and several different installation variables
exist for them. Accordingly, this manual provides a broad range of information- only some of
which is applicable to any individual use. This manual guide provides a brief summary of many
of the Sections which allows you to consult only the portions of the manual that apply to your
application.
SECTION 1. DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------------------Page 1
SECTION 2. PHYSICAL INSTALLATION ---------------------------------------------------Page 1
SECTION 2.1. SURVEY --------------------------------------------------------------------------Page 1
SECTION 2.2 MOUNTING THE MAGNET BODY-----------------------------------------Page 3
Determine which type of door frame exists for your application and refer to the applicable
choice out of the following three Sections below.

SECTION 2.3 STRIKE PLATE MOUNTING ------------------------------------------------Page 6
Determine which type of door exists for your application and refer to the applicable choice
out of the following six Sections below.
This section explains the vital issue of setting the final gap between the magnet body
surface and strike plate surface. It must be studied to produce a reliable installation.
This is a special application of the SAM's on a door type that exists on many retail stores.

    Rev. A.4, 12/01 Page 1 SECURITRON MODEL SAM, SAM2 SHEAR ALIGNING MAGNALOCK INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. DESCRIPTION Securitron’s SAM series shearlocks are intended for concealed mounting within the door frame and door. The SAM secures the door with 1,200 lbs (550 Kg) of holding force while the smaller SAM2 provides 600 lbs (275 Kg).
  • Page 4 Rev. A.4, 12/01 Page- 2 force. Note that if the door swings away from the protected area and is single acting (closes against a stop) an impact attack would not be anticipated as an intruder needs to pull on the door to defeat the lock.

Note that the door closer may need adjustment particularly in the case of a double acting door.

    Rev. A.4, 12/01 Page- 6 2.3 STRIKE PLATE MOUNTING As with the magnet body, the strike plate mounting technique will vary with the type of door. There are in fact more variables with strike plate mounting because of there is greater variability of the physical situation found within doors.

    Rev. A.4, 12/01 Page- 7 The actual attachment between the strike assembly and the door is made via the flush mount brackets which are first attached to the door via six flathead screws using the holes in the door that you have previously drilled. To achieve this level, the flush mount brackets are oriented as shown in the drawing above.

    Rev. A.4, 12/01 Page- 8 First, following the template, four holes must be drilled into the door recess flat. The center point of these holes should be centered within the recess and positioned opposite the center of the magnet body so that the strike plate will be centered on the magnet body. Accurate centering is crucial.

    Rev. A.4, 12/01 Page- 9 you will make final adjustments to the level of the strike by turning the two shoulder (adjustment) screws that attach it to the sub-plate. See Section 2.4 for the details of this adjustment. The actual attachment between the strike assembly and the door is made via the flush mount brackets which are first attached to the door via six flathead screws using the holes in the door that you have previously drilled.

Two doors electrically slide open to admit a customer.

  • Page 14: Section 3.3 Avoiding Poor Release Characteristics

    Rev. A.4, 12/01 Page- 12 Note: We recommend switching the lock on the DC side of its power supply (NC contacts are used). If switched on the AC side, the power supply's output capacitor (in the case of a filtered supply) will discharge through the SAM, slowing its release.

Note operating either lock at 24 volts is a better choice for long wire runs as four times the resistance is present compared to operation at 12 volts. Also note that the correct calculation of wire sizing is a very important issue as the installer is responsible to insure that adequate voltage is supplied to any load.

    Rev. A.4, 12/01 Page- i APPENDIX A TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM -- No magnetic attraction between magnet and strike plate. To verify no magnetic attraction, attempt to put a steel object like a paperclip or screwdriver against the magnet surface (covering at least two bars of the magnet body). It should adhere weakly. If it falls away with no adherence, you have no magnetic field.

If the scissors technique doesn't cause the lock to report secure, check to see if there is a broken Senstat wire.
  • Page 20 Rev. A.4, 12/01 Page- iii voltage will be dropped in the wires (1.6 volts) leaving 22.2 volts to operate the Magnalock. This will cause a minor reduction in holding force but in general, will be acceptable. To calculate the wire resistance, you need to know the distance from the power supply to the Magnalock and the gauge (thickness) of the wire.
