Relock Modes:
Standard Mode (Default)
The SA-025EQ can operate in three different
relock modes: standard mode, BOCA
mode, and timed mode. In order to switch
between these modes, locate the relock
mode jumper on the circuit board and move
the jumper to the appropriate pins.
Relock mode
jumper
Once the lock has been released, it will remain released until manually relocked by a reset
device connected to the Reset Input. For information on connecting a reset device, see pg. 4,
Wiring Diagram. This reset device is often a momentary spring-loaded key switch.
BOCA Mode
This mode is for use with BOCA (Building Officials Code Administrators) regulations.
Once the lock is released, the door will remain unlocked until the door is closed. Once closed, the
door will still remain unlocked for 30 seconds. If the door is opened at any time during the 30
seconds, the timer will reset. The 30-second timer will restart once the door is closed.
NOTE: The lock status jumper (see pg. 7) must be ON with a door-mounted N.C. magnetic contact
connected to the lock status input terminal for the BOCA mode to operate correctly.
Timed Mode
Once the lock is released, it will remain released for the duration of the set post-delay timer.
To set the post-delay timer see pg. 6, Adjusting the Pre-Delay and Post-Delay.

Adjusting the Pre-Delay and Post-Delay:
Pre-delay timer
potentiometer
Post-delay timer
potentiometer
The pre-delay and post-delay timers can be
adjusted using the potentiometers located on
the bottom left of the circuit board.
Pre-Delay: The pre-delay timer can be
adjusted from 1~30 seconds. This sets the
delay time between when the initiate device is
used and the lock is released. Once the initiate
device is triggered, the process cannot be
stopped unless the reset input is activated
(1-second default).
Post-Delay: The post-delay timer can be
adjusted from 1~60 seconds. This sets how
long the door remains unlocked in the timer
mode (1-second default).
Setting the Power-Up Mode and Nuisance Delay:
The power-up mode and nuisance delay are
set using the DIP switch at the bottom right
of the circuit board.
Power-Up Mode (DIP Switch 1)
There are two types of power-up modes. These modes determine the relocking status in
case of a power loss.
Programmed Relock (DIP Switch 1 ON): In the event of a power loss, the lock will
release. When power is restored, the lock will relock according to the programmed mode
and relock time configuration. (See pg. 5, Relock Modes.)
Automatic Relock (Default, DIP Switch 1 OFF): In the event of a power loss, the lock will
release. When the power is restored, the lock will automatically relock.
Nuisance Delay (DIP Switch 2 and 3)
The nuisance delay determines how long the initiate device (such as a push-to-exit bar) must be
activated before the pre-delay timer will start. The nuisance delay can be programmed
from 0~3 seconds.
NOTE: Nuisance delay requirements will vary depending on local laws and codes.
0 Seconds (Default, DIP Switch 2 and 3 OFF)
1 Second (DIP Switch 2 ON and 3 OFF)
2 Seconds (DIP Switch 2 OFF and 3 ON)
3 Seconds (DIP Switch 2 ON and 3 ON)

Lock Status Jumper:
When the lock status jumper is ON, the lock status
input will detect whether the door is closed and will
trigger relock functions.
The lock status input may be bypassed in order to
keep the door unlocked for an indefinite period of time
without activating the remote alarm output.
To bypass the lock status input, set jumper 1 to OFF.
The lock status input must be ON for BOCA Mode
(See pg. 5, Relock Modes).
Jumper 1
Jumper 2
Jumper 3
Default: OFF
Default: OFF
The SA-025EQ is equipped with a 500mA@12VDC
transistor ground output for a local alarm, typically an
audible or visual device.
The local alarm output can be set for steady or
pulsing. When set ON, the local alarm pulses during
the pre-delay, gradually pulsing faster until the end of
the pre-delay time. The local alarm will continue
signaling steady 5 seconds after the lock has been
released. When set OFF, the local alarm is steady
during the pre-delay time and for 5 seconds after the
lock has been released.
LED 4 is on when the local alarm output is active.
The local alarm signals when the pre-delay bypass
is used (see pg. 9).
To set the local alarm output type ON (steady) or
OFF (pulsing), use jumper 3 on the right side of the
circuit board.
Local Alarm Output Type Jumper:
Security Mode Jumper:
To activate security mode, set jumper 2 to ON.
In security mode, after the initiate device (such as a
push-to-exit bar) has been triggered and the
pre-delay timer has ended, the lock will remain active
until the initiate device has been triggered a second
time.
When security mode is OFF, the initiate device must
only be activated once.
Default: OFF

Remote Alarm Relay Output:
The SA-025EQ is equipped with a 10A@24VDC Form C dry relay output for a
remote alarm.
The remote alarm relay is normally energized. The onboard screen print refers to the
energized state as normal.
A remote alarm connected to this output will begin signaling at the start of the
pre-delay timer.
The remote alarm will continue signaling until the door is relocked.
In the event of power loss, the remote alarm relay will de-energize to trigger the
remote alarm.
The remote alarm will signal when the pre-delay bypass is activated.
The remote alarm will also signal during free egress if the door is left open longer than
5 seconds (door status jumper must be ON for this to occur).
LED 3 (red) is on when the remote alarm relay is energized.
Local Alarm Output:
The SA-025EQ is equipped with a 500mA@12VDC transistor ground output for a
local alarm.
The local alarm output can be set for steady or pulsing by changing jumper 3 (see pg. 7)
LED 4 (red) is on when the local alarm output is active.
Lock Relay Output:
The SA-025EQ is equipped with a 10A@24VDC Form C dry relay output that can be used
with a fail-safe or fail-secure lock.
The lock relay is normally energized. The onboard screen print refers to the energized state
as normal.
In standard mode, the lock relay will de-energize after the pre-delay time expires. The lock
relay will re-energize when the reset input is activated.
In BOCA mode, the lock relay will de-energize after the pre-delay time expires. The lock
relay will re-energize after a door with a N.C. magnetic contact attached to the lock status
input has been closed for 30 consecutive seconds.
In timed mode, the lock relay will de-energize after the pre-delay time expires. The lock
relay will re-energize after the post-delay time expires.
LED 2 (red) is on when the lock relay is energized.
Pre-Delay Bypass Input (N.O.+):
Connect a N.O. switch between the pre-delay bypass and the positive terminal.
The pre-delay bypass input bypasses the pre-delay time for immediate egress.
The remote alarm and local alarm outputs are still active when the pre-delay bypass is used.
The door will relock according to the relock mode.

Reset Input (N.C.+):
Connect a N.C. switch between the reset input and the positive terminal.
The reset input is used to reset the SA-025EQ.
The reset input is only necessary in the standard relock mode.
Initiate Input (N.C.+):
Connect a N.C. device (such as the SD-961A-36 Push-to-Exit Bar) between the initiate
input and the positive terminal.
The initiate input is used to activate the SA-025EQ.
To activate, hold down the initiate input for the duration of the nuisance delay timer.
Lock Status Input (N.C.+):
Connect a N.C. magnetic contact (such as the SM-200Q) between the lock status input and
the positive terminal.
The lock status input will detect if the door on which the magnetic contact is mounted is
closed in order to trigger the relock functions.
Power Input (12~24 VAC/VDC):
The SA-025EQ is powered by a 12~24 VAC or VDC power supply.
LED 1 (blue) is on when the SA-025EQ is powered.
Bypass Input (N.C.+):
Connect a N.C. switch between the bypass input and the positive terminal.
The bypass input is used to bypass the SA-025EQ and allow unrestricted entry and exit via
the door.
When the bypass input is activated, the lock will immediately release. It will remain released
until the bypass input is deactivated.
The bypass input will not trigger the remote alarm or local alarm.
If not used then a jumper must be installed between the bypass input and the positive
power input terminal.
Free Egress Input (N.C.+):
Connect a N.C. toggle switch between the free egress input and the positive terminal.
The free egress input allows the lock to be put in the free egress mode. This bypasses any
delays and alarms, allowing the initiate device to act as a simple egress device.
In the free egress mode, the lock is released as soon as the initiate device is triggered.
The door will relock after 5 seconds.
This can be used in conjunction with a timer (such as the SA-027Q annual timer) to allow
free egress during the day, but restricted access at night.
The remote alarm will also signal during free egress if the door is left open longer than
5 seconds (the lock status jumper must be ON for this to occur).
If not used then a jumper must be installed between the free egress input and the positive
power input terminal.
