Double Door Status
When two Magnalocks are used for double
door installation, the BondSTAT contacts should
be wired in series for proper reporting.
CONNECT the GREEN wire of one lock to the
WHITE wire of the other (see Diagram 19).
DPS Double Door Status
When two Magnalocks are used for double
door installation, the DPS contacts should
be wired in series for proper reporting.
CONNECT the BLUE wire of one lock to the
YELLOW wire of the other (see Diagram 20).
Determining Wire Gauge
The Magnalock requires adequate voltage and
current for proper operation. Resistance is
created by the length and gauge (size) of the
wire being used. An accurate estimated distance
from the power supply to the opening is crucial.
For superior operation the correct size gauge
wire must be used—the devices used operate
optimally with the least amount of resistance
on the source. Using the correct gauge wires
protects against large voltage and current (load)
losses. The gauge is determined by the wire
distance, voltage and current of all devices.
1 CALCULATE total current for either a 12 VDC system
or a 24 VDC system as required. Use Tables 1 or 2.
2 Using the value obtained in Step 1, DETERMINE the
proper wire gauge and length using Tables 3 or 4.

Wire for Emergency Release
• Magnalocks are often wired into a system for quick release in case of emergency.
• Manual switching or automatic triggering from a fire alarm system is practical.
• It is the user’s responsibility to correctly hookup the Magnalock according to the instructions.
• Securitron power supplies have terminals for connecting emergency release switches.
• USE a switch or relay to perform break of power.
