SCS (Security Condition Sensor) with LED

This feature can detect the quality of the locking bond between the 

surface of the magnet and the armature plate. The sensitivity of this 

feature is such that a foreign object with a thickness of .007” (.18mm) 

is sufficient to allow the sensor to detect a problem.

Due to the sensitivity of this feature and the necessity to maintain a 

reliable locking bond, these surfaces must be kept free of contaminating 

materials. Both the lock surface and the armature plate must be cleaned 

periodically with a non-abrasive cleanser. Alignment of armature plate 

and magnet is required to ensure proper function of sensor.

DSS (Door Status Sensor)

The DSS option monitors the position of the door upon which the lock 

is installed. A SPST reed switch eliminates the need for extra sensors 

to be installed on the door for notification of security or access control 

systems. The DSS option comes with a magnet pre-installed into the 

lock armature plate for signaling the reed switch in the housing when 

the door is closed. Care should be taken during the final testing of the 

lock to ensure that the DSS option is operating in the desired manner.
