It offers a strong holding force of 382kg (800lbs) and can be mounted on the side, face, or top of uPVC, timber, or metal doors due to two side \u0026amp; four face fixing holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a monitored lock, the EM800SS allows you to confirm its status (locked or unlocked). It features a built-in Hall Effect sensor with voltage-free Normally Open (N\/O) and Normally Closed (N\/C) contacts. These contacts can be connected to external devices like sounders, buzzers, or alarm systems to signal when the magnet and armature plate are separated. Please note, this model does not have an LED status indicator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHolding Force:\u003c\/strong\u003e 382kg (800lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12V \/ 24V DC (selectable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suitable for internal and external doors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Surface or side mount (requires appropriate brackets)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMonitoring:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes N\/O \u0026amp; N\/C voltage-free contacts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Input:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12V \/ 24V DC (selectable via wiring)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Draw:\u003c\/strong\u003e 480mA @ 12V DC | 240mA @ 24V DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMagnet Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 220mm (L) x 46mm (W) x 28mm (D)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArmature Plate Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 180mm (L) x 44mm (W) x 12mm (D)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMagnet Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.45kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArmature Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.700kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions (FAQs)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: The magnet feels very warm, almost hot.
