Mounting the PM1200 POWER MAG
1 Fold template where indicated to form a 90° angle. For a swinging door place template against door header and door

opposite hinge side of door jamb. For a pair of swinging doors place template against door and door header at center of
door opening. Transfer ARMATURE PLATE MOUNTING hole locations to door. If outside access is required, the “LIGHT
PIPE HOLE” location should also be transferred at this time. DO NOT transfer door frame hole locations to header at this
time.

2 Follow template instructions for hole sizes. Use the illustrations below to determine proper armature mounting hole

5 Install mounting plate to header by drilling pilot holes at slot locations (see item 1 in above drawing), then secure plate

with 2 flat head screws. These two (2) screws are installed in the slotted holes to allow for adjustment before drilling and
installing the (4) remaining outer screws (item 3 in above drawing).

6 Adjust the mounting plate so that it and the armature plate form a right angle.
7 Using the mounting plate as a template, drill the wire hole and pilot holes for the four (4) outer flat head screw positions.
8 Install the four (4) #10 flathead screws provided.
9 Fasten the lock to mounting plate with the two (2) 1/4-20 socket screws provided. Compensate for any misalignment

by adding or subtracting washers at armature mounting screw.

10 Firmly tighten all screws. Install anti-tamper plugs into holes over each socket head mounting screw. Use soft hammer to

avoid damaging lock case.

11 Rubber on armature screw head must not be trimmed or modified for correct operation.
NOTE: For steel door frame use self tapping flat head screws supplied; for wood door frames use the supplied wood

screws.

Wiring the PM1200 POWER MAG

1 Open wiring bay cover by removing Phillips head screw.
2 Bring outside wires into wiring bay through wire access

hole at top of bay.

3 Cut wire down to appropriate length and make

connections using supplied wire nuts.
4 Carefully tuck wires back into the wiring bay.
5 Close cover.

Note: Only the Black AC power wires are mandatory connections.

All others are optional.

Insure that wiring does not
block the Infrared sensor.

The AL-REMOTE KeyFob

The AL-REMOTE KeyFob is a dual infrared element device which transmits a digitally encoded infrared signal to the Power
Mag. The operational range of the KeyFob is a minimum of 35 feet from the Power Mag. When used from the protected side
of the door (inside), aiming the KeyFob in the general direction of the Power Mag is sufficient. However, if using the supplied
light pipe to allow access from the outside, the KeyFob must be aimed at the light pipe in order to activate the Power Mag.

An indication that the batteries inside the KeyFob are low and must be replaced will be a noticeable decrease in the
effective range of the KeyFob. For example, if the KeyFob range is typically 35 feet and it falls to 20 feet, this is an
indication that the batteries should be replaced.

The KeyFob should not be exposed to extreme temperatures and should not be submersed in water.

Replacing the AL-REMOTE KeyFob batteries

Following is the procedure for replacing the KeyFob batteries. The replacement battery is a Duracell model DL2032. (2
required). Warning: Replace batteries only with the same type as specified above. Use of another battery may present a

risk of fire or explosion. Do not recharge or disassemble battery, or dispose of in fire.

1 Insert flat blade

screwdriver into the
slot between the key
ring loops and gently
twist until the case
pops open.

3 Remove old

batteries. Observing
polarity (+ / -),
insert new batteries.
