Ensuring Correct Voltage Setting
NOTE: Factory default setting is 24 VDC.
1. ENSURE the onboard PCB is set for the correct and desired
operating voltage.
2. IF a change is required,
THEN ACCESS the wiring compartment by removing the wiring
compartment Phillips head screw and cover (see
Figure 1, “Wiring Compartment”),
AND TOGGLE the 12V/24V slide switch to the desired position.
Figure 1. Wiring Compartment

Installing V2M1200/1290 on Out-Swinging Door
Determining the Door Frame Header
1. DETERMINE the type of door frame header and whether a filler
plate, header bracket, or angle bracket is required for installation
(see Figure 2, “Door Frame Installation Options”).
Figure 2. Door Frame Installation Options

2. REMOVE the header plate from the magnetic lock.
a. LOOSEN BUT DO NOT REMOVE the two Phillips head screws
on top of the header plate.
b. SLIDE and REMOVE the header plate from the magnetic lock.
3. FOLD the included installation template on the dotted line to form a
90-degree angle.
NOTE: If installing to a pair of double doors, the template is placed
at the center of the door opening.
4. PLACE the bottom portion of the installation template against the
door.
5. TAPE the installation template in place.
6. LOCATE and MARK the hole locations to the door and header
frame.
Installing the Armature Plate on a Solid Door
7. DRILL a 1/4” [6.35 mm] diameter hole through the armature side of
the door (see Figure 3, “Installing Armature to Solid Door”).
8. DRILL a 1/2” [12.7 mm] diameter hole into the door to accommodate
the armature bolt (see Figure 3).
Figure 3. Installing Armature to Solid Door
Installing the Armature Plate on a Hollow Door
9. DRILL a 21/32” [16.67 mm] diameter hole through the armature side
of the door (see Figure 4, “Installing Armature to Hollow Door”).

Installing V2M1200/1290 on In-Swinging Door
1. FASTEN the L bracket on the door frame in a suitable location.
2. MOUNT the magnetic lock to the L bracket.
3. ENSURE the magnetic lock does not obstruct the closing of the door.
4. CONNECT the correct voltage to the magnetic lock.

NOTE: The cap screws are not tightened at this time. The Z bracket
must be adjustable.
5. ASSEMBLE the Z bracket with the provided socket head cap screws.
NOTE: The rubber washer attached to the armature bolt is not
removed.
6. MOUNT the armature plate to the adjustable section of the Z bracket
using the armature bolt.
NOTE: The washer assembly must be between the armature plate and
the adjustable section of the Z bracket.
7. USE one rubber washer between the two metal washers on the
armature bolt.
NOTE: The armature must not be over tightened. The armature must
rock to align with the magnet.

Magnetic Lock Care and Maintenance
Magnetic locks have no internal moving parts and require minimal
maintenance. It is recommended that the face of the armature place and
magnet be wiped clean and a light coating of a suitable silicone lubricant
applied to each surface to prevent rust, even though the mating surfaces
have been plated (required only if dirt buildup is observed. The armature
plate bolt and the Phillips head screws holding the magnet to the header
plate should be checked every three months to ensure a safe and secure
installation.
