Installation Applications
 When mounting the electromagnets, it may be necessary to use a "Z"-bracket, 1 or 2 "L"-brackets, and/or
plate spacers, depending on the location and the type of doors and frame.
 Use the diagram below to help decide whether or not an optional bracket will be necessary for installation.
Installation Notes
1. Read this installation manual thoroughly. A clear understanding of the product and this manual will make
installation much easier.
2. The electromagnetic locks are designed for indoor use ONLY.
3. The most suitable mounting location for the electromagnetic locks may require the use of additional
SECO-LARM accessories such as Z-brackets, L-brackets, and/or spacer plates.
4. Do not run power wires and signal wires in the same conduit as this may cause interference.
5. Do not install a diode in parallel with the electromagnetic locks as this may cause a delay when releasing
the door as well as cause residual magnetism.
6. The best location to install the electromagnetic locks is on the inside of the doors that are being secured
with the wiring concealed in the frame to prevent tampering with the unit.
7. The minimum permissible wire size to be used shall not be less than 22AWG

3. Place the template
against the door and
frame. Mark where
the holes are to be
drilled.
2.
Close the doors. Find a mounting location on the
center of the door frame, directly above where
both doors meet when closed.
5. Use a hammer to
lightly tap the guide
pins into the guide pin
holes on the armature
plates.
Drill two 5/16" (8mm) dia. holes through
the armature-plate side of the doors for
the armature screws. Then drill two 5/8"
(16mm) dia. holes for sexnut screws on
the opposite side of the doors.

4. Drill four holes in the frame and six holes in
the door as shown on the template.
1.
Fold the mounting template along the dotted
line to form a 90-degree angle.
6.
Depending on the type of door being protected, drill holes according to the diagrams below:

TIP: Use a thread-locking compound on the armature
screws to ensure a long-lasting installation.

8.
Tighten the armature screws
enough so that
the armature plates can withstand a break-in
attempt, but loose enough so that the armature
plates can pivot slightly. Make sure the anti-
spin guide pins are in the two guide pin holes.
Metal
washers
The rubber washer will be
sandwiched between the
two metal washers.

7.
Put a rubber washer between the two metal
washers and place them over the armature
screw between the armature plates and the
doors. This allows the plates to pivot around
the screw to compensate for door
misalignment.
9.
Screw the four short self
-
tapping screws through
the mounting plate’s slotted holes, but do not over
-
tighten them. Keeping them loose will allow for adjustment of the plate left or right so that the mounting
plate and the armature plates form a 90-degree angle. See the diagram below.
10.
Once the position of the
mounting plate is
correct, use the eight long self-tapping
screws to permanently mount the
mounting plate.
11.
Drill the cable access holes. Run the power leads
through the cable access holes in the mounting plate
and through the holes in the door frame.

15.
Connect the power wires according to the wiring
diagram on page 7. Test the unit. Then replace the
front cover and install the hex-head tamper caps (x4).
NOTE: Failure to correctly set the input voltage
may cause damage to the lock.
Position a jumper over
the two middle pins for
24VDC operation
Position two jumpers
on all four pins for
12VDC operation
Voltage Selection Jumpers
CAUTION: The two electromagnets each have their
own voltage selection jumpers.

14.
Cut the wires so they are long enough to
connect with the terminal block. Set the
voltage using the selection jumpers
based on your input voltage.
12.
Remove the cover from the front of the
electromagnets. Run the power leads
through the large cable access holes.
13.
Push the electromagnet against the mounting plate so
the ends are flush with each other. Use the Hex
wrench to screw the hex-head mounting screws
through the bottom of the electromagnets into the
mounting plate.
NOTE: THIS SHOULD BE THE VERY LAST STEP, AS ONCE
THE TAMPER CAPS ARE IN PLACE THEY ARE
VERY DIFFICULT TO REMOVE.

NOTES
 Connect switching devices like push-to-exit switches between the power source and the positive
terminal of the lock. Connecting them to the negative terminal may cause a delay in unlocking.
Wiring Diagram
*A fail-safe lock unlocks when power is lost so that, in case of an emergency such as a fire in the building, the fail-safe lock will automatically
unlock allowing personnel to escape quickly.
NOTE: All field wiring must be within the protected area.

Troubleshooting
Doors lock, but can easily
be forced open
 Make sure the electromagnet and armature plates are properly
aligned.
 Make sure the contact surfaces of the electromagnet and armature
plates are clean and free from rust.
 Check the power leads with a meter, and make sure 12VDC or
24VDC is present.
 Make sure the rubber washer is installed and free from damage.
Delay in door releasing
 The electromagnet is fitted with a metal oxide varistor to prevent
interference, so do not install a second diode.
 Ensure that the control device is connected between the power
source and the positive terminal of the lock
