 Magnetic Lock Wiring – Up To 6 Amp, 30VDC MAX
IMPORTANT: In some jurisdictions, the use of a UL approved power supply and
connection to the fire alarm system for emergency release may be required. Installers
should contact the local authority having jurisdiction to verify the specific
requirements. Also, a building permit may be required in some jurisdictions for the
installation of magnetic locks.
Figure 9
See Note 2 in
Appendix section for
6 Amp relay rating
Note: A diode can
cause slow release of
the magnetic lock. It
is better to use a
MOV device. Some
magnetic locks have
built-in MOV devices;
in that case no diode
or additional MOV is
required. Check with
magnetic lock
supplier.
Note: See Electric Strike
Lock Wiring section for
explanation of MF relay
usage.
