For Outswing Gates

Note: Installation varies but intended for exterior usage, mounting holes thru the front of the magnetic lock.

Find the paper installation template included with the magnet (you will need this).

Fold it on the dotted line.

Place the folded template in the proper position on the gate and mark the holes you will cut for your magnet and armature plate. (Using tape will help)

Drill the holes according to the marks you made.

(Check Twice! Drill Once!)..

Install the armature plate as shown in the drawing to the left.

The actual dimensions of the holes are illustrated below.

Hollow Metal Gate Wooden Gate

Drill a 5/16" (8mm) hole through the gate for the armature side. For the sexnut side (secure side), enlarge the hole to 1/2" (12.7mm) for the width of the sexnut. On wooden gate the depth of the sexnut is 1 7/16" (36mm).

The rubber washer helps the armature plate to pivot. As it should NOT be tightened all the way to gate.

Attach the mounting plate to the jamb with the inlcuded Philips screws. Then use the thru-bolts to tighten the magnet to the mounting plate.

(Sample drawing as 8712FT Series magnet & mounting plate assemblies)

To adjust the gap between the armature plate and the magnet, add or remove the washers, or tighten the armature plate.

Connect the power and test the holding force. Add washers if there is still a gap between the magnet and armature plate.

Insert the caps into the screw holes in the magnet.

New Mounting Plate

The mounting plate thickness at the screw hole at each end is increased to 3/8" (10mm).

ROFU Z-bracket (#21031) Available for Inswing Gates (Face Mounting)

Note: Installation varies but intended for exterior usage, mounting holes thru the front of the magnetic lock.

Find the correct mounting position on the gate for the L-bracket. Ensure that the gate still closes with it in position.

Use the thru-bolts to install the magnet onto the L-bracket.

Assemble the Z-bracket, but not too tight as it needs to remain adjustable for now.

Insert the roll pins into the armature plate.

Attach the armature plate and washers to the Z-bracket assembly.

Close the gate and connect the power.

After the magnet engages the armature plate, you can now adjust the Z-bracket, and attach to the gate.

Ensure all screws of Z-bracket are tightening to gate. We encourage the use of thread locker (Loc Tite).

Installing Blind Nuts

Rubber Washer

Drill a 3/8" (9.4mm) hole and hammer the blind nut assembly into the hole.

Use a wrench or vice-grip to tightly hold the nut. Then use the included Allen wrench to slowly tighten the screw until it does not turn any further.

This compresses the blind nut so that it remains permanently fixed in the hole.

Remove the installation tool from the blind nut. Repeat step 2 through 4 for the other blind nuts.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Magnet does not lock	No power	- Ensure all wires are connected properly. - Check that the power supply is connected and works properly. - Ensure the REX is wired in Common and out the N/C position.
Low holding force	Poor contact between magnet and armature plate	- Is the armature plate warped? - Ensure the armature plate is loose enough to be able to "pivot" and bond with the magnet - Ensure the surface of the magnet and armature plate are clea-use a soft cloth and a spray lubricant to clean it. - Are you using rubber washer on end of through bolt?
*Please remember to test with the armature plate, not a screwdriver.	Low voltage or incorrect voltage setting	- Check the mag lock and ensure it is set for correct voltage. Check the voltage at the magnet input, if low-determine if you're using the correct gauge of double stranded wire. This will prevent excessive line (voltage) drop.
Sensor output is not functioning	A second diode was installed across the electromagnetic lock	- Remove any diode installed across the magnet for "spike" suppression. (The magnet has a metal oxide varistor to prevent back EMF)
