Pre-Installation Instructions
1.
This product must be installed according to all applicable building
and life safety codes. All installations must be approved by the
Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
2.
Due to the variety of mounting configurations available with this
product, a survey and assessment of the physical area in which
the product will be installed must be performed.
3.
The door frame must be inspected and deemed structurally sound
prior to installation of the electromagnetic lock. The structural
integrity of the mounting surfaces must be strong enough to meet
or exceed the holding force of the product.
4.
The product must be protected from potential damage due to
intruders or tampering.
5.
The product should be installed in a location that will not hinder or
create a potential safety hazard to authorized personnel accessing
the protected area.
6.
Because electromagnetic locks are used in a variety of applications
and different door frame configurations, an experienced installer
with knowledge of this product must make a determination of the
optimal mounting method for this specific application.
7.
The components, hardware, installation instructions and mounting
template included with this product are intended for use on
outswinging doors.
1.
Mount the electromagnetic lock to the door frame as outlined on the
installation template included with the product.
Armature Plate Mounting Notes:
1) It is essential that this plate pivot slightly on the mounting bolt to allow
proper alignment with the magnet surface. If not aligned, the lock may
lose holding force or not lock at all.
2) The rubber washer on the head of the mounting bolt should project
slightly beyond the surface of the armature plate. It will expand when
power is removed and break the air vacuum between the plate and
magnet. If removed or trimmed, the lock will appear to have some holding
force even when power is removed.
For added safety, thread locking compound has been provided for the
armature plate bolt and the four captive electromagnetic lock mounting
screws.
