Check the power supply. Voltage should be 12 to 24 VDC +/- 10%.
Check wiring of power supply and releasing devices.
Check to ensure the armature plate is correctly aligned to the maglock. Follow the armature
plate mounting instructions on the template and the installation manual 40- 82B236
Check that the power supply is filtered DC. The humming is caused by AC on the DC supply.
A proper filtered and regulated DC power supply will resolve the issue.
Refer to Figure A and check the placement of any suppression devices. Residual magnetism
is related to the presence of electricity (i.e., capacitance) in the lock circuit. Degaussing or
dimpling the lock are not advised since it will cause unintended consequences.
