Lock Drive Mode
The electronic lock drive from a C4 controller switches the negative supply to the lock. By default,
the output is programmed to drive a “Fail Secure” locking device. Power is only applied to the lock
during the lock release time.
• “Fail-Secure” = Power to release
• “Fail-Open” = Power to hold locked
If you are connecting a “Fail-Open” locking device such as a Door Magnet, then you will need to
change the “Lock Drive Mode”
Range of Values:
Mode 1 = Fail Open
Mode 2 = Fail Secure
Default Value:
2 = Fail Secure
