Operating Manual 3.3 Variants Fail-safe (currentless opening) • DB25K Fail safe 2400001203 In the event of a power failure, the lock opens. This prevents people who are inside the secured area from becoming trapped in the event of an emergency.
High mechanical strength Profile cylinder The DB25K allows the inclusion of a profile cylinder. The profile cylinder allows the lock to be closed manually with the use of a key. The electronic access control is thus bypassed. Depending on the variant (fail-safe or fail-secure) and the connection type, the deadbolt is moved electrically or mechanically during manual closing.

Operating Manual Mounting When installed in the floor, penetrating moisture or similar can contaminate the mechanics of the lock and render the lock unusable in the long term. Cable routing and conductor cross-section The routing and thus the length of the connecting cable must be determined. Three connecting wires are required for a fully functional lock.
Mounting Operating Manual 5.2 Example 1: Installing lock and strike plate in mortise openings The installation example describes the installation • of the lock into an insertion opening in the frame, • of the strike plate into an insertion opening in the door. Cut an insertion opening for the lock in the door frame.
Operating Manual Mounting 5.3 Example 2: Install lock on frame and strike plate on glass door. The installation example describes the installation • of the lock on a wooden frame, • the strike plate on a glass door. Two housings, a cover plate and a long strike plate are required for mounting (accessories).
Electrical connection Operating Manual 6 Electrical connection 6.1 Select power supply The lock is designed for low power consumption. Only when the deadbolt is moved does a larger current flow. Select the power supply according to the maximum current consumption. Note: If several locks are connected to one power supply at the same time, the maximum current consumptions of the individual locks are added together.
Operating Manual Electrical connection 6.3 Three-wire connection (recommended) In three-wire mode, the power supply is constantly connected to terminals + and - (terminals 1 and 3). To unlock the lock, control input CL (terminal 2) is supplied with voltage. Three-wire connection at fail-safe lock Connect terminals 1 and 9 with a wire jumper.
Electrical connection Operating Manual 6.5 Connect signaling contacts for door position and bolt position. The signaling contacts are used to monitor the door position, the bolt position and the profile cylinder, e.g. by an access control or alarm system. The door position is a simple normally open contact.
Operating Manual Maintenance and Cleaning At DB25K the switch M is factory set for Fail Safe or Fail Secure configuration and should not be changed. Connection M position Lock variant fail-safe (currentless opening) Three-wire connection Off (default) Two-wire connection - Not applicable -...
