Door Hardware & Readers
The following sub-sections review door components with related diagrams. Some jurisdictions require a
qualified locksmith for installation of lock hardware. Consult with local authorities.
Important
In a PoE powered configuration, the CA150 supplies 680 mA at 12V (approximately 8 watts) to power all
loads including readers, door strikes, request-to-exit PIR devices, etc.
To power devices such as magnetic locks, the CA150 or the device must be powered from a dedicated
+12V DC power supply.
Door Lock Hardware
Consult with the manufacturer's documentation for mounting door lock hardware. The lock must be
appropriate for the barrier and meet all applicable fire and safety codes. If necessary, consult with the proper
authorities to ensure the installation conforms to municipal, state, or provincial fire regulations and building
codes. Permits may be required before installing magnetic locks.
Use a battery for temporary power to ensure the door operates properly with respect to the following functions
before connecting to the Keyscan access control unit.
