1 General Description
The Model 1710 lock is a single electromagnetic lock for surface mount applications on single outward-opening doors. The
electromagnet assembly mounts securely to the header on the inside (stop side) of the door, and an armature is secured to
the door with appropriate hardware to ensure proper floating action. Figures 1 and 5 give diagrammatic explanations of typical
installations.
For inward opening doors use Model 317-611 Z/L bracket combination. For frameless glass doors opening outward use
Frameless Glass Door Bracket part no. 317-650 for 10mm glass or part no. 317-651 for 12mm glass. For extensions to a door
header use a LOKTRONIC Header Extension Angle Bracket, see figures 8-11 page 7 of these instructions.
In installations with 67 mm reveal or more no filler plate or angle bracket will be required. If reveal is less than 67 mm a filler
plate (by others) or a LOKTRONIC Header Extension Angle Bracket may need to be fitted (see Figures 5 & 6, 8-11). Included
with the 1710 lock is a fitting kit, which contains the necessary mounting hardware for standard installations with either metal
or wooden headers, without filler plates, angle brackets or reinforcing plates.
Model 1710 is supplied with a Door Position Switch (DPS), and a Magnetic Bond Sensor (MBS) as standard features. The
purpose and operation of these is explained in Sections 3.2 and 3.3 respectively.
The electromagnet is electroless nickel plated prior to potting thus minimising corrosion and providing a high quality finish.
Armatures are electroless nickel plated. The electromagnet housings are of satin-polished natural anodised aluminium. Bright
Gold and Matt Black anodised finishes are also available to order. Other special finishes may be specified: - contact sales
office for details. Accessories are not available ex-stock in Bright Gold or Matt Black.
The fitting kit is of all stainless steel components to minimise corrosion. The shoulder bolt has an extra small Allen socket to
reduce the chance of tampering. The sex nut is through-hardened, polished stainless steel for added security.
2 Mounting
Electromagnetic locks require careful alignment and accuracy in installation to ensure optimum performance. Template
dimensions are supplied on applicable drawings for location, but it will usually be easier and more accurate to follow the
recommended mounting procedures below.
Tools required: No. 2 Pozi screwdriver; 4 mm Allen key; 8 & 13 mm drills (common)
4.2 & 6.8 mm drills; M5 X 0.8 and/or M8 X 1.25 taps (metal door/header);
2.1 Reinforcing plate (by others)
If the header is not strong enough to withstand the holding force of the electromagnet a reinforcing plate or bracket may be
required. This may need to be longer and or wider than the lock assembly to give adequate strength. The lock can then be
fitted directly to this reinforcer. See Figures 5 & 6.

2.2 Filler plate (by others)
The electromagnet assembly should be installed so that the header to which it is attached is as wide as or wider than the
electromagnet base plate. If this is not so, a filler plate may need to be fitted as shown in Figure 6.
The filler plate will be specific to each individual installation and thus is not supplied as a standard part. Make up the filler
plate as shown in Figure 6, so that it is flush with the existing stop, and flush with the rear of the electromagnet housing cover.
When mounting the electromagnet assembly as in Section 2.4, take care to mount the electromagnet assembly to the frame
or reinforcing plate THROUGH the filler plate. Do not mount the electromagnet assembly to the filler plate only.
2.3 Header Extension Angle Bracket (HEAB) 4 standard LOKTRONIC sizes available
If the header is not wide enough and a filler plate cannot be fitted a LOKTRONIC Header Extension Angle Bracket may need
to be fitted as shown in Figures 8-11. To fit the Angle Bracket, first locate it on either the far left or right of the header
(depending on door handing), flush with the underside of the header, and mark the location of the Angle Bracket ends. Using
the countersunk holes in the Angle Bracket as a template drill holes in the header either for #12 wood screws to 38 mm depth
(wooden header) or drill and tap for appropriate machine screws (metal header). Secure the Angle Bracket with the
appropriate screws. Follow the subsequent steps for mounting the lock, but mount the lock to the Angle Bracket using the
fitting kit and instructions supplied with the LOKTRONIC Angle Bracket.
In some instances the Angle Bracket will overhang the lock as shown in Figure 11. This overhang may be milled off if desired
for aesthetic reasons.
2.4 Electromagnet Assembly
Locate the electromagnet assembly on the side opposite the hinges, into the corner of the doorframe, as shown in Figure 1.
Remove the housing cover from the electromagnet assembly and support the assembly in location on the header, with the
face of the electromagnet approximately 20 mm from the face of the door in the closed position. Mark on the header the
centre of the long slots at each end of the base plate. Mark also the centre of the wiring hole (Figure 1).
If the header is wooden, drill a pilot hole for the #12 screws in each of the marked slot locations. If the header is metal, drill
4.2 mm dia. holes and tap for the 5 mm machine screws in the marked slot locations. Drill a 13 mm dia. hole for the wiring as
marked, ensuring that it is adequately deburred to prevent wiring damage and possible short circuits.
Support the electromagnet assembly on the header and secure it in place with either the #12 screws or machine screws,
inserting an internal tooth washer under the head of each screw. Set the distance between the closed door face and magnet
face at 20 mm and tighten the 2 screws.
2.5 Armature Mounting
Take the anti-rotation pins (2) and insert them into the closed holes in the rear of the armature by gently tapping them until
they seat in their holes, taking care not to damage the face of the armature. Position the armature squarely on the face of the
electromagnet so that there is equal overhang on all four sides, then apply power to the electromagnet. See Figure 12 for the
appropriate wiring schematic.
Close the door until it contacts the protruding anti-rotation pins then lightly tap the door from the outside so that the pins leave
an impression on the door surface. Open the door and release the armature from the electromagnet.
Drill a 5 mm dia. hole 20 mm deep at each of the impressions on the door. Locate the armature on the door using the anti-
rotation pins in these holes, then using the open central hole as a physical template drill for the shoulder bolt. For through bolt
mounting drill an 8 mm hole right through the door (Figures 2 & 3). Enlarge the hole to 13 mm from the outer face of the door
to a depth of 35 mm only. This will ensure that the knurl of the sex nut grips the timber.
For reinforced metal doors a short shoulder bolt will be required. Drill a 6.8 mm dia. hole and tap for an M8 thread (Figure 4).
Remove the armature from the door and enlarge the two 5 mm anti-rotation holes (in the door) to 6.5 mm dia. to a depth of 20
mm.
The armature may now be mounted. Place one belleville washer over the shoulder bolt; insert the shoulder bolt into the
armature, then place the remaining belleville washers and flat washer over the shoulder bolt as shown in Figure 7. The
correct sequence is of major importance to correct fitting. Push the sex nut into the enlarged hole in the opposite face of

the door, then screw the shoulder bolt into it, ensuring that the washers remain over the unthreaded shoulder of the bolt. Use
the Allen key to tighten the shoulder bolt firmly, but do not over tighten as this may prevent proper floating action. When
correctly tightened the armature should be able to contact the door face at each end when pushed firmly by hand. Check that
the anti-rotation pins do not bind in their holes. If they do, enlarge the holes slightly until they cease to bind.
2.6 Alignment and Securing
To align the electromagnet assembly, loosen the two securing screws in the end slots so that the electromagnet assembly
may be moved, close the door so that the armature mates with the electromagnet then apply power to the magnet (see Figure
12 for wiring details). Pull the door firmly against its stop and re-tighten the two securing screws firmly. Using the base plate
as a physical template drill the 2 other holes marked * on Figure 1. For a timber header drill pilot holes for the #12 wood
screws and for a metal header drill 4.2 mm holes and tap for M5 machine screws. Insert the remaining two screws, using an
internal tooth washer on each and tighten them firmly.
3 Electrical
3.1 The Electromagnet
The electromagnet is of a bifilar design, which allows it to operate on either 12 VDC or 24 VDC, +/- 10%. It is fully protected
against transients (back EMF). Do not fit additional diodes as these will reduce available voltage and therefore reduce
holding force for no benefit.
For 12 VDC: Connect Red & Yellow to +ve and Blue & Black to -ve.
Current draw 600 mA
For 24 VDC: Connect Red to +ve, Black to -ve. Join Blue & Yellow together.
Current draw 300 mA.
Figure 12 also shows the wiring of the electromagnet. Reversing the polarity will not damage the lock, however no magnetic
bond will occur.
3.2 Door Position Switch (DPS)
All 1700 Series locks are supplied as standard with a DPS. This consists of a small reed switch attached to one end of the
electromagnet, which is actuated by a driver magnet on the end of the armature. The switch will normally actuate when the
armature is approximately 10 mm from the surface of the electromagnet, (make 10mm, break 13mm). This provides an
electrical signal, which effectively indicates whether the door is open or closed. The reed switch is a SPDT type so can be
used in either a normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) configuration. The use of this feature will depend on the specific
installation, but the DPS usually interfaces with the access control system and should be connected according to the system
requirements. Figure 13 shows the wiring schematic for the DPS unit.
Green = C White = NC Violet = NO
When installing the armature, ensure that the driver magnet on the armature is at the same end as the reed switch mounted
inside the electromagnet assembly, otherwise the DPS will not work.
The DPS is a Form-C SPDT contact and is rated at 50 mA maximum.
3.3 Magnetic Bond Sensor (MBS) End to End
Unless ordered otherwise an MBS is fitted as standard on 1710 locks. The MBS unit is mounted in the back of the
electromagnet and provides an electrical signal, which indicates whether the armature is magnetically bonded to the
electromagnet. The performance of electromagnetic locks is adversely affected by misalignment, debris between the mating
faces and low voltage, and the MBS is a means of remotely determining that the armature and electromagnet are adequately
bonded. It also provides a means of remotely detecting some forms of tampering with the lock. The MBS unit in 1700 Series
locks is an 'end-to-end' design which effectively operates over the entire surface of the electromagnet. The MBS is a SPDT
type, which allows it to be used in either a normally open (NO), or a normally closed (NC) configuration.
Blue/White = C Orange = NO Brown = NC
When the power is applied at the correct DC voltage and the armature is properly aligned and bonding, there is a closed
circuit between the Blue/White and Brown wires, and an open circuit between the Blue/White and Orange wires, as in Figure
14 (a).
If: the magnet is not energised, OR
the voltage is low, OR

the armature is misaligned, OR
there is debris between the mating faces,
then there will be a closed circuit between the Blue/White and Orange wires, and an open circuit between the Blue/White
and Brown wires, as in Figure 14 (b).
The MBS is a Form-C SPDT contact and is rated at 50 mA maximum.
3.4 Wiring the Lock
Pass the wiring from a concealed conduit in the header through the wiring hole in the base plate of the electromagnet
assembly. Connections are best made by crimp connectors, although they may also be made by screw-type connector blocks
or by soldering. If soldering, ensure that the joints are mechanically sound first. In all cases the joints must be adequately
insulated to prevent short circuits.
4 Testing
Ensure that all connections are sound and that the mounting screws are firmly tightened. Close the door and apply the power
to the electromagnet. The door should now be locked. If the door does not lock, check power connections, armature
alignment and ensure that the anti-rotation pins are moving freely in their holes. Check also that the shoulder bolt is not over
tightened (see section 2.5).
To test the DPS, connect a continuity tester across the Green and White wires. With the door closed there should be a
closed circuit, and with the door open there should be an open circuit. If this is not the case check the armature alignment and
ensure that the magnet is at the same end as the reed switch.
To test the MBS, connect a continuity tester across the Blue/White and Brown wires. With the power on and the armature
in place, there should be a closed circuit. With the power off there should be an open circuit. If this is not the case, check
the armature alignment and that the mating faces are free from debris or grease. Lower than specified voltage may also
cause the MBS to indicate no magnetic bond.
When everything checks satisfactorily, replace the housing cover on the electromagnet assembly and secure it in place with
the 4 x M4 machine screws.
5 Cautions
Ensure that only clean DC power is supplied to the lock from an appropriately sized, fully regulated power supply.
Any damage to the mating surfaces of the electromagnet and armature may significantly reduce holding efficiency and
prevent the MBS from working correctly. HANDLE WITH CARE.
Protect the faces of the armature and electromagnet when decorating. Even very small spots of paint may affect the
operation of the Magnetic Bond Sensor.
Do not attach mounting plate to filler plate only. MOUNTING PLATE SHOULD BE ATTACHED TO FRAME OR
REINFORCING PLATE THROUGH FILLER PLATE.
Do not pass more than 50 mA through either the DPS or MBS units.
Ensure that both the door and the header are structured to withstand a 550 kg load.
6 Maintenance
Periodically clean the face of both the electromagnet and armature with a neutral non-abrasive detergent. Do not use
scouring pads of any variety nor abrasive cleaners, as these will damage the plated surfaces. The decorative covers may be
similarly cleaned if necessary. Polish dry with a soft lint free cloth. Check tightness of the shoulder bolt and adjust if
necessary. See 2.5 above.
