1. INTRODUCTION
The Model CC-8946 is a magnetic door lock with an integrated display panel intended for use on
doors that are monitored and controlled from a remote location. The unit includes a magnetic lock
rated at 1200lbs and a display panel that is readily viewed by personnel on the secure side of the door.
The display panel includes red, green and amber lamps that indicate the door status, and a key switch
that can be used to manually release the door. Internal tamper, magnetic bond, and door contact
switches are used to provide output status signals. All connections to the CC-8946 are made via an
attached 20 ft. cable. The integration of the display panel with the magnetic lock simplifies the
installation by eliminating the multiple cables required when installing separate magnetic locks, door
contacts and a display panel. The CC-8946’s cable is typically connected to a terminal block which in
turn is connected to a door control module located within a security information center (SIC).
The CC-8946 can be used in new installations and to retrofit existing installations presently equipped
with a separate magnetic lock and display panel.
