Magnasphere HSS-L2C-101-A Installation Instructions

MAGNASPHERE HSS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: All Models of L2C-[XXX]-A Series

CAUTION: MAGNASPHERE MAGNET MODULES ARE EXTREMELY POWERFUL: TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID THE MAGNETIC ATTRACTION OF SHARP TOOLS AND TO AVOID INJURY FROM THE PINCHING
FORCE BETWEEN THE MAGNET AND FERROUS METALS OR OTHER MAGNETS.

Attention: modules à aimants Magnasphere et anti-enlèvement aimants sont très puissants: prendre des précautions pour éviter l'attraction magnétique d'outils tranchants et à éviter
les blessures de la force de pincement entre l'aimant et les métaux ferreux ou d'autres aimants.

DOOR

Plan to mount the switch module into the door frame. The magnet module should be be mounted
opposed and aligned to the switch, within the door. Recommended placement for the set is 8
inches from the latch side of the door, at the top. A gap no greater than 1/8" (3.17mm) is
required for compliance with UL634 Level 2, C634 high security standards. For UL
compliance, the installation must be in a metal frame with a 5/8" (minimum) door stop; the
modules must have an operating gap no greater than 1/8".
*Recommended placement to meet door-opening, alarm, & nuisance alarm requirements of
UL634 Level 2 standard. This guide is one means to meet this standard. Installations which fulfill
this standard are not restricted to the specific recommendations in this instruction set.

(continued) instructions:

The pry tamper (if equipped) can be tested by moving the Tamper Bracket to
and from its installed position with the switch module. This tamper will be in
alarm condition when the switch module is removed from the tamper bracket

1: Fasten the Tamper Bracket as shown (2), using the undercut #8 screws

3: Plan to orient the switch, allowing the wires to pass along the clearance recess of the tamper bracket. Wire the switch module.
The tamper circuit (if equipped) must be wired to a 24-hr protection circuit. All wires must route within the metal frame.

4: Place the switch module into the frame cutout. Ensure that it is fully
nested into position. Using hand-tools, drive the screws until seated. Do
not use powered tools. Do not over-tighten the screws.

5: Fasten the magnet module into the door cutout. The mechanical
installation of the set is complete.
