8300 Series Troubleshooting Guide
Problem
Solution
Remove anti-tamper screw and cavity screw. Insert supplied Allen wrench into
mounting bolt holes in the bottom of the lock housing and turn. (See Fig.3)
-
Check power supply. DC power should be slightly over the voltage
specifications outlined on the packaging. eg: for 12VDC operation
supply should be set at 12VDC-13VDC.
-
Check connections at power supply, connected releasing devices, lock
terminals and lock circuit board to magnet core.
-
Check delayed relock wiring and time setting
-
Check that the momentary switch does not include a shunted light option
Check to see that armature plate is correctly aligned with the
electromagnetic lock. If there is improper alignment, make a 1/4” turn of the
armature plate mounting bolt and check for alignment.
CAUTION:
The
armature plate must remain affixed securely to the door or serious bodily
injury or property damage may occur. Bolt should be tight enough to hold
the armature plate to the door while still allowing for alignment with the
electromagnetic lock.
This generally indicates that the lock is either operating on AC voltage or there
is some AC voltage present in the DC supply. A properly filtered and regulated
DC power supply is required to achieve optimal operation from the lock.
Ensure that switching devices are interrupting the DC power and not the
AC power supply voltage.
Ensure rubber washer on armature plate mounting bolt has not been
removed or damaged
-
Check that switching device interrupts the positive wire and not the
negative wire (See Fig. 2)
-
Remove any Diodes or other suppression devices that may be installed
Cannot remove the lock mounting bracket from top of
magnet for installation.
Lock is installed but has no holding force at all.
Lock has enough holding force to lightly hold a
screwdriver or set of pliers but door will not lock.
Lock is operating and locking but the armature plate is
“humming” against the surface of the lock.
Lock is not releasing immediately upon removal of power

NOTE:
All RCI electromagnetic locks must be powered with filtered and regulated DC power supplies such as the RCI 10 Series UL
Listed power supply. RCI offers a full line of power supplies and switching devices that are suitable for use with the 8300 Series locks.
