1. Mount the electromagnet. In most cases, the position of the electromagnet will determine the location of
the armature plate. Make sure there is space to run the cable.
a. Tack weld bracket into place. (Tack weld only).
b. Dismount the electromagnetic lock from the bracket. Warning: Failure to remove
electromagnetic lock will result in severe damage to lock. Weld 3 or 4 beads about 1” apart.
Make sure not to weld the junction box. (See mounting diagram for “No Weld” areas).
c. Remount the electromagnetic lock.
2.
Mount the armature:
a. Once the electromagnet is mounted, determine the armature bracket location and tack weld into
place (Tack weld only.)
b. Dismount the armature plate from the bracket. Warning: Failure to remove the armature plate
from the bracket will damage the armature and rubber washer.
Weld the armature bracket with
3 or 4 beads about 1” apart. Make sure not to weld near the set screw hole. (See mounting
diagram for “No Weld” areas).
c. Remount the armature.
i. Put one rubber washer between two steel washers, and place them over the armature screw
between the armature and the bracket. This will allow the armature to pivot slightly around the
armature screw in order to compensate for gate misalignment.
ii. Make sure the guide pins are inserted into guide holes to prevent the armature from spinning.
iii. Do not overly tighten the armature against the bracket. The armature must be able to pivot
around the armature screw.
3.
Run the wires. The goal is to keep as little of the wires exposed as possible.
a. Run the wires into an out-of-sight location as close as possible to the electromagnet.
b. Use standard armored cable to prevent the wires from being cut between the electromagnet and
the out-of-sight location.
4.
Connect the wires. Note: Unit is prewired for 12V operation. See Wiring Diagram (page 3) for more
information.
a. For 12V operation – connect the red and white wires to +12VDC, and the black and green wires to
ground.
b. For 24V operation – connect the red wire to +24VDC, the green wire to ground, and then tie the
white and black wires together and insulate.
IMPORTANT: Damage caused by improper connection will void warranty.
5.
Test the unit.
6.
Insert the tamper caps into the mounting screw access holes of the electromagnet. This should be the
last step, as once the tamper caps are in place, they are difficult to remove.
Installation:
IMPORTANT
Damage caused by improper
connection will void warranty.

The gate does not lock
•Check that the wires are secure
•Check that the power supply is connected and operational
•
Check that the unit is wired correctly
The gate locks, but can be easily
forced open
•Check that the electromagnet and armature plate are
properly aligned
•Check that the contact surfaces of the electromagnet and
armature plate are clean and free from rust
•Check the power leads with a meter, and make sure the
correct voltage is present
There is a delay in the gate releasing
•The electromagnet is fitted with a metal oxide varistor to
prevent interference, so do not install a secondary diode
Troubleshooting:
Maintenance:
1. Clean the contact surfaces of the electromagnet or armature plate with a soft cloth and non-abrasive,
non-corrosive cleaner.
2.
Apply a light coat of a silicon lubricant to both contact surfaces and wipe away the excess to prevent rust
buildup.
3.
Check that the armature plate is securely attached to the bracket, yet can pivot slightly around the
armature screw.
4.
Check that the electromagnet is securely attached to the bracket.
UL CERTIFICATION: The E-946FC-1K2Q, E-942FC-1300, and E-942FC-600 electromagnetic locks conform to
UL/10B “Fire Tests of Door Assemblies” and UL/10C “Positive Pressure Fire Tests of Door Assemblies” for swinging door
assemblies. They are also classified in accordance with theUniformBuilding Code standard 7
