Why is my ADI PRO 0E-MAG600LB maglock extremely hot to the touch?
To address a maglock (magnetic lock) by ADI PRO from the Locks category that's extremely hot to the touch, first, check the power supply. If the maglock is set to 12VDC but receiving 24VDC, adjust the power supply to 12VDC. Also, inspect the cables for any induced power and eliminate it.
What to do if ADI PRO Locks maglock secures at the power supply but not in the installed location?
If your ADI PRO Locks maglock secures at the power supply but not when installed, it might be due to the cable. Always use 18-gauge solid wire for power cable runs. Thinner cable gauges, such as 22, 24, and CAT5/6, aren't sufficient for providing power over longer distances, so avoid using them. Additionally, check the wire for any breaks.
How to fix low holding force on ADI PRO Locks maglock?
If your ADI PRO Locks maglock has low holding force, the issue might be with the power supply or the armature plate alignment. Ensure the power supply matches the maglock requirements; if the maglock is set to 24VDC, the power supply should also be 24VDC. Also, realign the armature plate to ensure complete coverage. Finally, if you're using an unregulated/unfiltered power supply, switch to a regulated and filtered one.
What to do if ADI PRO 0E-MAG600LB Locks maglock secures, but neither the door contact nor the bond sensor change state?
If your ADI PRO Locks maglock secures, but neither the door contact nor the bond sensor change state, the magnet on the armature plate might be incorrectly positioned. Reposition the magnet on the armature plate. Also, ensure the armature plate makes complete contact.
How to use varistor with ADI PRO Locks maglock?
To prevent intermittent operation with your ADI PRO Locks maglock, install the varistor directly on the power inputs of the maglock. The varistor acts as a load to eliminate any residual power left when power is dropped. A maglock is a large coil, and when down powered, it will try to lose the built up energy (residual power stored in the coil of the maglock). This will send residual voltage down the line back to the controlling device and cause intermittent operation.
How to make ADI PRO 0E-MAG600LB Locks maglock drop power during a fire test or fire event?
To ensure your ADI PRO Locks maglock drops power during a fire test or fire event, make sure you are using a fire-rated power supply connected to the fire alarm panel.
