Terminate Lock Wiring
A separate power supply must be used for door strikes and other 12 VDC equipment. The power supply should
have battery backup for continued operation during a power failure. When adding equipment to an existing
system, be sure the power supply can withstand the increased current consumption.
To calculate total current requirements for power supplies, use the following formula that includes a 30%
tolerance factor:
•
Total Current = (Device A amps + Device B amps + Device C amps, etc.) x 1.30
Example
An installation calls for 1 magnetic lock and 3 door strikes requiring 12 VDC:
•
Mag Lock – 100 mA + Door Strike A – 200 mA + Door Strike B – 200 mA + Door Strike C – 200 mA x
1.30 = 910 mA
In this example, a separate 1 amp power supply is sufficient.
