Rev. A.3, 5/00
Use of the Magnalock (or any lock) can lead to an unsafe
condition within the building if it is controlled in a manner that
improperly restricts passage through certain doors. The most
important area of concern is to insure that building evacuation is
not impeded in the event of a fire or other emergency condition.
Consult with the local building or fire department to insure that
the controls installed with the Magnalock create a safe and
code legal installation.
The Magnalock has an unlimited operating life and receives a
great deal of cumulative shock over this life from the door closing
and from persons attempting to open the door when it is
secured. It is therefore vital that it be firmly mounted to the door
header. If this is not done, a person's use of the door could
cause the magnet body to fall and possibly cause an injury. The
blind nuts furnished with the Magnalock will create strong and
permanent mounting when correctly collapsed inside the
header. If they are not collapsed, an unsafe condition will result.
Make sure you understand section 2.3.2 in the manual on
magnet mounting and collapsing the nuts.
- SHOCK HAZARD. The Magnalock must
be operated from a DC power supply of appropriate capacity
and voltage. The DC output of the power supply must not be
connected to earth ground but must be isolated, or a shock
hazard and possible damage to the product could result. All
Securitron power supplies are delivered with isolated DC outputs
and the majority of commercial supplies are also furnished this
way. If you are not certain that the DC outputs of your power
supply are isolated, check with an Ohmmeter between earth
ground and +V, and then between earth and 0V (negative). You
should not have continuity.
