Electromagnetic Locks

Pre-Installation Instructions

1.

This product must be installed according to all applicable

building and life safety codes. 

2.

Due to the variety of mounting configurations available with

this product, a survey and assessment of the physical area

in which the product will be installed must be performed. 

3.

The door frame must be inspected and deemed structurally

sound prior to installation of the electromagnetic lock. The

structural integrity of the mounting surfaces must be strong

enough to meet or exceed the holding force of the product. 

4.

The product must be protected from potential damage due

to intruders or tampering. 

5.

The product should be installed in a location that will not

hinder or create a potential safety hazard to authorized

personnel accessing the protected area. 

6.

Because electromagnetic locks are used in a variety of

applications and different door frame configurations, an

experienced installer with knowledge of this product must

make a determination of the optimal mounting method for

this specific application. 

7.

The components, hardware, installation instructions and

mounting template included with this product are intended

for use on outswinging doors. 

8.

Do not install this product on the exterior of buildings. 

9.

Separate accessories not included with this product must be

used in the following applications: 

• Inswinging doors 

• Narrow head jamb situations or center-hung doors 

• Wherever there is insufficient space on the door frame

header to mount the lock

• Glass or Herculite doors that do not have a door frame 

• Hollow metal or wood frames where the door stop is

not thick enough to allow the product to be installed 

• Wherever an obstruction in the door prevents 

installation of the armature plate at a proper height 

• Doors that do not permit the armature plate to be 

mounted low enough to meet the magnet surface 

Refer to the Product Accessories Guide section of the

Installation Instructions for further information. 

10.

Installation of this product should be done by an

experienced installer with knowledge of this product. 

NOTE:

It is highly recommended that thread locking compound

be applied to all screws during installation to reduce chance of

screws loosening over extended time.

1.

Mount the electromagnetic lock to the door frame as outlined

on the installation template included with the product. 

NOTE:

During installation of the armature plate to the door it is

essential that the armature plate remains movable. The armature

plate must be allowed to pivot on the center-mounting bolt to

allow proper alignment with the magnet surface. If the plate is

not aligned with the magnet surface, the lock may lose holding

force or not lock at all. 

The head of the armature mounting bolt ships with a rubber

washer affixed to it. This washer should project slightly beyond

the surface of the armature plate. This is to allow the washer to

expand when power is removed and break the air vacuum

between the plate and the magnet surface. If this washer is

removed or trimmed the lock will appear to have some holding

force even when power is removed.

For added safety, thread locking compound has been provided for

the armature plate bolt and the four captive electromagnetic lock

mounting screws.

WARNING: Improper installation, maintenance, inspection or

usage of the product or any related accessories or parts may cause

the electromagnetic lock, armature plate and associated hardware

to disengage and fall, causing serious bodily injury and property

damage. Rutherford Controls Int'l Corp. will not be liable to the

installer, purchaser, end user or anyone else for damage or injury

to person or property due to improper installation, care, storage,

handling, maintenance, inspection, abuse, misuse or act of God or

nature involving this product or any related accessories or parts.

2.

Route the power supply connecting wire through the door

frame and into the wire access hole in the top of the magnet

housing. Connecting wire should be of sufficient gauge for

the lock being installed and the distance being run. See table

for current draw specifications and wiring gauge chart.
