L-Series Electrified Lock Installation Instructions

EL, Electrically Locked (Fail Safe): 

Outside knob/lever is continuously locked electrically. Latchbolt is retracted by key 

outside or by knob/lever inside. Switch or power failure allows outside knob/lever to retract latchbolt. Auxiliary latch 
deadlocks latchbolt when door is closed. Inside knob/lever is always free for immediate exit.

EU, Electrically Unlocked (Fail Secure):

 Outside knob/lever is continuously unlocked electrically. Latchbolt is retracted 

by key outside or by knob/lever inside. Auxiliary latch deadlocks latchbolt when door is closed. Inside knob/lever is always 
free for immediate exit.

Electrical Requirements

•  Voltage: 24VAC or 24VDC (Maximum 26V, Minimum 22V)

•  Peak Current: Amps 1.3 at 5 to 15 second intervals

•  Holding Current: Amps .135 between peak current intervals

•  Operating Temperature: M140°F, Minimum -22°F

L-Series Typical Installation

Electrified L-Series locks apply full voltage to the solenoid upon initial 
application of power and reapply full voltage at 5 −15 second intervals 
through a transistorized circuit.

•  Each lock should have its own transformer. Two or more locks may

be operated in parallel from a single transformer provided it has the 
necessary current rating.

 

DO NOT

 connect locks in series from a higher voltage rated transformer.

IMPORTANT! 

Connection of locks to a supply circuit containing electromagnetic devices

is not recommended. If used, the resulting transient voltages could damage the lock. The transient voltage must be carefully suppressed at the equipment 
producing it before connecting the lock to the same circuit. A varistor rated at 35 V (peak recurrent) may be used for transient voltage protection.

L-Series Request-to-Exit (RX) Installation Instructions

A microswitch inside the lock case is activated when
the knob/lever is rotated. The switch signals the use of
the opening to security systems. Order by L283-263 for
L-Series locks, and L283-239 for LV-Series locks.

•  Use proper wire gauge to minimize voltage drop.

Electrical Requirements

•  Amps 0.5 Volts 24 DC

•  Operating Temperature: M140°F, Minimum -22°F

All power requirements shown are for single lock operation.
