Overview
The ROFU 8512-DE Delayed Egress Magnetic Lock Assembly is designed to comply with the NFPA 101 Life Safety Code. This delayed
egress locking system's principal application is for secure locking and delayed release of perimeter and emergency exit doors. The ROFU
8512-DE electromagnetic lock is a self-contained, standalone unit that uses existing door exit and latching hardware, and all electronics
are built into the magnet's wiring compartment for ease of installation.

How it Works
The delayed egress system is activated by pushing on the exit push bar. The exit attempt (pushing on the exit bar) must exceed a pre-set
nuisance delay of 0, 1, 2 or 3 seconds to start the delayed egress cycle. Note: the 0 second nuisance includes a 200 millisecond de-bounce
delay to eliminate false triggering.
When the nuisance time is exceeded after applying a continuous pressure of 15 pounds or greater to the exit bar, an irreversible 15 or 30
second egress cycle begins. During this egress cycle, a piezo alarm beeps once for each second of the count-down. When the magnetic
lock de-energizes to release the door for free egress after the delayed egress cycle, the piezo alarm sounds continuously and the door
remains unlocked until reset.
Bench Testing
This procedure allows the installer to perform a quick bench check of the ROFU 8512-DE lock and to become familiar with the lock's
basic operation prior to installation.
Test Set-up
Remove the cover plate and locate the 4-position DIP-switch on the bottom circuit board. Set all 4 switches to OFF. The lock is now set
for zero seconds nuisance delay time and is set for 15 seconds delayed egress cycle. Proceed to wire the magnetic lock as follows:
1. In the lock's wiring compartment, locate the input terminal block on the circuit board and temporarily place a jumper across "FIRE" and
"COM". Note: the two "COM" terminals are both common and either can be used for wiring convenience.
