Description & Specifications:
12/24V DC Surface Mount Magnetic Lock (1200-LED, Monitored)
Holding Force: 544kg
A powerful and reliable locking solution, this surface-mounted magnetic lock is ideal for internal uPVC, timber, or metal doors. It operates on either 12V or 24V DC power and features a robust holding force of 544kg (1200lbs).
Key Features
- Monitored Status: This lock is a "monitored" model, meaning its status can be tracked to confirm whether it is locked or unlocked. It contains a set of voltage-free Hall Effect contacts (Normally Open & Normally Closed), allowing you to connect it to buzzers, alarms, or indicator lights.
- LED Indicator: A dual red/green LED provides a clear visual confirmation of the lock's open or closed status.
- High Holding Force: With a holding force of 544kg (1200lbs), this lock ensures a secure closure.
- Adjustable Voltage: Easily switch between 12V and 24V DC operation using internal jumper links.

Troubleshooting & FAQs
Why is the magnet getting hot? "Power to Lock" devices require constant power and can run warm. However, excessive heat is usually caused by:
- Running a 12V magnet on a 24V power supply.
- An insufficient power supply (amperage is too low).
- A significant voltage drop due to long cable runs with inadequately sized wire.
Why is the armature plate vibrating? This is typically caused by a faulty or underrated power supply, or by using a 12V power supply for a magnet set to 24V DC operation.
Why won't the magnet lock properly? The most common causes are:
- Incorrect alignment between the armature plate and the magnet.
- A faulty or underrated power supply.
- A voltage mismatch (e.g., a 12V supply for a 24V magnet).
Installation & Tech Tips
- Verify Voltage: Before powering on, double-check that the wiring connections match your selected 12V or 24V power supply. Failure to do so can cause the lock to overheat, fail to engage, and eventually damage the system.
- Regular Maintenance: Periodically clean the surfaces of both the magnet and the armature plate with a light oil to ensure optimal performance.
