POSTAL LOCK INSTALLATION
10
PAGE
(Retain nuts and washers) Install the postal lock with the
sliding bolt oriented away from the speaker.
Install the enclosed plate end switch assembly over the
sliding bolt so that when the bolt is extended it will activate
the switch as shown in the diagram.
Fasten by using the enclosed flat washer, lock washer, and nut
on each of the four studs. Adjust the plate and switch location
as the nuts are tightened to ensure switch activation when the
bolt is extended.
Connect the two wires from the postal lock switch in parallel
with either the two blue wires (door relay) or the two yellow
wires (gate relay) at the 15 pin input/output connector. Note
that polarity or color coding is not required. As example: If
you wish to activate the door using the postal lock switch,
connect wire 1 from the switch to one of the blue wires and
connect wire 2 from the switch to the other blue wire.
Test operation by activating the lock. Ensure that full
extension of the sliding bolt will not bend or break the switch.
These parts are used only when postal access to your facility is required. The postal lock mecha-
nism must be obtained by application to your local post office.
Installation: Open the front panel of the Entry
Phone and remove the hole plug.
