Electro Magnetic Door Locks
Use only fail-safe door locks provided by Lasermet (electric door strikes or maglocks). These will
prevent access to the room while the laser is on while always allowing people to enter or leave the
room in the event of a power loss. In order to ensure that people can always enter or leave the room
in the event of an emergency it will be necessary to put an emergency stop or break glass switch
near each door. If in doubt call Lasermet technical help.
The door should be fitted with interlock switches (see ICS-6-SP Inputs section) so that the laser is
disabled if a door is opened using the break glass switch.
Figure 19.
Note that several maglocks can be wired in parallel from the same ICS-6-SP Control Unit output
provided the 4A maximum rating of the contact is not exceeded.
Some locks can be configured for 12V or 24V supply. They should be set for 24V operation and run
off the 24V supply to reduce the current consumption to 0.25A per lock. To set Lasermet Maglocks
for 24V operation, open the terminal access cover on the lock. Remove the two black links from the
circuit board and refit one of them across the middle two pins. Park the spare link with one side on
one of the empty end pins so it is not lost. If in doubt, refer to the instructions supplied with the
maglock.
In all cases a diode rated at 1A 50V or more must be wired directly across the terminals of each door
lock. Lasermet’s Maglocks usually have the diode fitted as standard and it is essential that the supply
is connected the right way round.
