Installation & Technical Information
Wiring: This magnetic lock can be operated at either 12V DC or 24V DC. Before powering on, ensure the wiring connections are correct for your chosen voltage to prevent overheating, locking failure, or system damage.
Maintenance: Periodically clean the surfaces of both the magnet and the armature plate with a light oil to ensure optimal performance.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Why does the magnet feel very warm or hot? "Power to Lock" devices like magnetic locks require constant power and can naturally run warm. However, excessive heat is often caused by:
- Voltage Mismatch: A 12V DC magnet connected to a 24V DC power supply.
- Insufficient Amperage: The power supply is not providing enough current.
- Voltage Drop: A long cable run with an inadequate wire gauge is causing a loss of current.
Why is the armature plate vibrating? Vibration is typically due to an under-rated or faulty power supply, or a voltage mismatch (e.g., a 24V DC magnet connected to a 12V DC power supply).
Why won't the magnet lock properly? The most common reasons for a weak lock are:
- Incorrect Alignment: The armature plate is not correctly aligned with the magnet.
- Power Issues: The power supply is faulty, under-rated, or there is a voltage mismatch.
