Determining which Lock Pawl to use

A

• As all cabinets vary, we offer a wide range to pawls to suit the particular dimensions of your cabinet.

• There are 2 simple measurements that need to be taken to determine which pawl you will need.

• Please obtain the measurements as show in Figure 1 and Figure 2 and contact our electromechanical lock support

team as show below:

Mounting the Control Unit

• Mount the db ServerRack v2 Zero-U Control Unit

o The Control Unit can be attached using the Magnetic Strips for Steel Cabinets or VHB Strips for Aluminum

Cabinets.

o Alternatively, the Control Unit can be placed on a cabinet shelf

• It is preferable to mount the Control Unit near the top of the rack, to ease the running of cables, however this isn't

absolutely necessary.

Mounting the Door Interface Box

• If you are installing the db ServerRack Access Control unit to a cabinet that already has a lock installed, remove the

existing lock at this time.

• The "Door Interface Box" provides an interface between the Control Unit and the fingerprint scanner. It also provides

all power and signal connections to the electric lock.

• Install the Door Interface Box as show in Figures 4 thru 9.

Mounting the Door Interface Box - Step 1

• Before removing the double-sided high bond tape from the Door Interface Box, find a suitable location on the inside

of the cabinet door to mount Interface Box.

• Ensure that the selected location will not affect the cabinet door from closing correctly.

• Note that for glass paneled cabinet doors with very narrow frames, the only suitable location may be on the glass.

IMPORTANT:

• Ensure that the Interface Box is located close enough to the lock opening in the door, so that the finger-

sensor on the ribbon cable can go through the door and connect into the lock, see Figure 6.

• Once you have found a suitable location where you intend to mount the Door Interface Box, ensure that the door

surface is clean and free from any debris. (Using neat alcohol to clean the surface is highly recommended. Allow
drying time before proceeding.)

• Remove the protective cover from the double-sided high bond tape located along the edge of the Door Interface

Box.

Mounting the Door Interface Box – Step 2

• Attach the Door Interface Box to the inside door surface. Only apply a slight amount of pressure to the high bond

tape until you have ensured that the Door Interface Box will not prevent the cabinet door from closing.

• Once you have ensured that the door will close properly and the finger sensor can attach to the lock, apply more

pressure to the high bond tape. The more pressure applied, the greater the bond.

Mounting the Door Interface Box – Step 3

• Push the finger-sensor assembly through the door lock opening as shown in Figure 6.

• Attach the finger-sensor assembly into the back of the door lock as show in Figure 7. Ensure that the angle of the

finger-sensor assembly and the angle of the door lock are as shown in Figure 7.

Mounting the Door Interface Box - Step 4

• Situate the lock on the outside of the cabinet door, so that the ribbon cable attached to the finger-sensor assembly

is at the top of the locking opening. (See Figure 8)
