3. Product Information
3.1 Product Description
The SL30DBL is a motor driven low voltage electric lock designed to secure commercial and
residential swing-through (180°) doors. The lock has been designed to address the two biggest issues
in concealed electric locking today;
1. The ability to ‘pull’ a door into alignment even if the door has not closed in a central position.
2. The ability to release when requested even if there is excessive load on the door.
The design of the SL30DBL is unique as it has two motors which independently operate two bolt pins.
The bolt pins operate on a cam action which enables each bolt pin to pull a door into place. In practice
as the door closes it may come to rest in a position that is not fully closed. The SL30DBL senses when

its resting position to the closed and secured position.
With the door secured and locked the SL30DBL can be given an unlock signal and it will instantly
unlock. If the door is loaded (pre-load) when the unlock signal is given the SL30DBL will still unlock,
even with loads in excess of 100kg on the door from either side. Critically the ability of the SL30DBL to
instantly release with excessive pre-load on the door even occurs in the event of a power failure if the

Additional features of the SL30DBL are;

• Very low current consumption
• Door position and bolt position monitors
• High physical strength
• Fail-safe / Fail-secure on-site conversion with the re-positioning of a single switch

Mortice installation ensures a discrete solution as the lock and strike plate can be embedded into the
door leaf and frame, however in some instances this is not possible. Glass doors for example require
surface mounting which is done with the aid of the SL30DBL housing and dress plate (available
separately).
The lock and strike plate can be installed morticed (1), surface mounted (2), or a combination of the
two (3). Regardless of the installation method it is vital that the lock face plate and strike plate are

5.2 Wiring Assessment
Before installation begins, consideration must be made for where to run the wires and decide on
what feedback is required from the lock. There are a total of seven available connections; three are
compulsory power/control connections whilst the remaining four provide optional door and bolt position
feedback. These optional connections can be integrated into access control or alarm systems to
provide full monitoring.
The correct gauge of wire needs to be chosen as voltage drop across the power/control wires can limit
the locks operation. For all the remaining connections, a lower gauge wire can be used as these are
only signal wires. The following table shows the maximum distance that the wire runs can be between
the power supply and the lock, assuming the power supply outputs 12VDC or 24VDC.
Conductor Cross Sectional Area Maximum Distance
#AWG (mm²) at 12VDC at 24VDC
24 0.20 10m (33ft) 30m (98ft)
22 0.33 16m (52ft) 48m (157ft)
20 0.52 26m (85ft) 77m (253ft)
18 0.82 41m (135ft) 122m (400ft)
16 1.31 65m (213ft) 195m (640ft)
14 2.08 103m (338ft) 310m (1017ft)
5.3 Operating Mode Assessment
The SL30DBL can be set to one of two operating modes before installation, Fail Safe or Fail Secure.
When the operating mode is set to Fail Safe, supply voltage is applied to the control input to lock the
door, and the SL30DBL will unlock in the event of power loss.
When the operating mode is set to Fail Secure, supply voltage is applied to the control input to unlock
the door, and the SL30DBL will lock or remain locked in the event of power loss.
The failure mode of the SL30DBL is factory set as Fail Safe. Before the lock is installed this can be
changed to Fail Secure by repositioning the switch located at the end of the product.

instructions on wiring.
3. Setting the operating mode
Ensure the operating mode switch is positioned to the required

4. Fitting the lock and strike plate
The lock can be slid back into the door frame mortice, ensuring
that the wiring integrity is maintained, and then secured in place
with the supplied 10G self-tapping screws.
The strike is then placed into the door leaf mortice and the
remaining 10G self-tapping screws are used to secure it in
place. Ensure the strike is oriented so that the bolt hole aligns

6.3 Surface Mounting Installation (Solid Wood)
1. Preparing the mounting surface
Install two 10Gx1” self-tapping screws (included with housing) in
the mounting surface, as per the product dimension drawings. The
screws should be 220mm apart, 20mm from the surface edge.
2. Preparing the housing
An 8mm hole should be drilled through the housing wall at the
position chosen by the installer for the wiring to enter. The wiring
can be guided to the housing through surface mount conduit, or
through a hole in the mounting surface material. Push a rubber
grommet (included with housing) over the drilled hole to protect the
wires from any sharp edges.
3. Fitting the housing
