MAGNETIC LOCK INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

PLEASE READ BEFORE INSTALLATION

ALARM CONTROLS CORPORATION OFFERS A COMPLETE LINE OF MAGNETIC LOCKS AND ACCESSORY ITEMS TO ASSIST THE INSTALLER IN MANAGING EVERY APPLICATION.

THE MAGNETIC LOCK IS DESIGNED TO MOUNT TO THE DOOR FRAME ON THE STOP SIDE OF THE DOOR IN A TYPICAL OUTSWINGING DOOR INSTALLATION, (SEE PAGE 2 FOR INSWINGING DOOR INSTALLATION). SUFFICIENT HEADER SPACE MUST BE AVAILABLE TO MOUNT THE MAGNETIC LOCK TO INSURE A SAFE AND SECURE INSTALLATION.

1. NOTE TYPE OF DOOR FRAME HEADER AND INSTALL FILLER PLATE OR ANGLE BRACKET AS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A FLAT MOUNTING SURFACE ON THE DOOR HEADER THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE MAGNETIC LOCK.

OUTSWINGING DOOR INSTALLATION

• 2. FOLD TEMPLATE ON DOTTED LINE TO FORM A 90 DEGREE ANGLE. TAPE TEMPLATE AGAINST DOOR HEADER WITH DOOR IN A CLOSED POSITION 1" FROM DOOR FRAME OPPOSITE HINGE SIDE OF DOOR JAMB. FOR A PAIR OF DOUBLE DOORS PLACE TEMPLATE AT THE CENTER OF THE DOOR OPENING. TRANSFER HOLE LOCATIONS TO DOOR AND FRAME HEADER, (SEE TEMPLATE INSTRUCTIONS).
• 3. FOLLOW TEMPLATE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOLE SIZES. USE THE ILLUSTRATIONS BELOW TO DETERMINE THE PROPER HOLE PREPARATION FOR THE ARMATURE PLATE ACCCORDING TO THE DOOR TYPE IN THE INSTALLATION.

THE INCLUDED HARDWARE PACKAGE CONTAINS ALL NECESSARY ITEMS TO COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION.

TO REMOVE THE HEADER PLATE INSERT HEX KEY INTO HOLES LOCATED AT THE BOTTOM OF LOCK ON THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE AND UN-SCREW THE CAP SCREWS

INSWINGING DOOR INSTALLATION WITH L- Z BRACKET

STEP 1

FASTEN THE L BRACKET ON THE DOOR FRAME IN A SUITABLE LOCATION.

MOUNT THE MAGNETIC LOCK TO THE L BRACKET.

MAKE SURE THAT THE MAGNETIC LOCK DOES NOT OBSTRUCT THE CLOSING OF THE DOOR.

CONNECT THE CORRECT VOLTAGE TO THE MAGNET.

STEP 2

ASSEMBLE THE Z BRACKET WITH THE SOCKET HEAD CAP SCREWS PROVIDED. DO NOT TIGHTEN THE CAP SCREWS AT THIS TIME. THE Z BRACKET MUST BE ADJUSTABLE.

STEP 3

MOUNT THE ARMATURE PLATE TO THE ADJUSTABLE SECTION OF THE Z BRACKET WITH THE ARMATURE BOLT. DO NOT REMOVE THE RUBBER WASHER ATTACHED TO THE ARMATURE BOLT.

USE ONE RUBBER WASHER BETWEEN TWO METAL WASHERS ON THE ARMATURE BOLT. THE WASHER ASSEMBLY MUST BE BETWEEN THE ARMATURE PLATE AND THE ADJUSTABLE SECTION OF THE Z BRACKET. APPLY THE SCREW LOCKING AGENT TO THE ARMATURE BOLT.

DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. ARMATURE MUST ROCK TO ALIGN WITH THE MAGNET.

STEP 4

CLOSE THE DOOR AND ALIGN THE ARMATURE PLATE TO THE MAGNET AND APPLY POWER TO THE MAGNET. LET THE ARMATURE PLATE BOND TO THE MAGNET. BE SURE THE Z BRACKET ASSEMBLY IS FIRMLY AGAINST THE CLOSED DOOR.

TIGHTEN THE CAP SCREWS HOLDING THE Z BRACKET ARMATURE PLATE ASSEMBLY.

FASTEN THE Z BRACKET ASSEMBLY TO THE DOOR WITH THE SCREWS SUPPLIED.

STEP 5

CHECK THE COMPLETED ALIGNMENT AND INSTALLATION OF THE MAGNET AND ARMATURE PLATE BY OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR BY ENERGIZING AND DE-ENERGIZING THE MAGNETIC LOCK SEVERAL TIMES.

THIS WILL INSURE THAT THE CORRECT OPERATION AND ALIGNMENT OF THE MAGNETIC LOCK HAS BEEN PROPERLY INSTALLED.

MAGNETIC LOCK CARE AND MAINTENANCE

MAGNETIC LOCKS HAVE NO INTERNAL MOVING PARTS AND REQUIRE A MINIMUM AMOUNT OF MAINTENANCE.

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE FACE OF THE ARMATURE PLATE AND MAGNET BE WIPED CLEAN AND A L IGHT COATING OF A SUITABLE SILCONE LUBRICANT BE APPLIED TO EACH SURFACE TO PREVENT RUST ALTHOUGH THE MATING SURFACES HAVE BEEN PLATED. THIS ONLY NEEDS TO BE DONE WHEN DIRT BUILD-UP IS NOTICED.

THE ARMATURE PLATE BOLT AND THE HEX HEAD SCREWS HOLDING THE MAGNET TO HEADER PLATE SHOULD BE CHECKED EVERY THREE MONTHS TO INSURE A SAFE AND SECURE INSTALLATION.
