Set the voltage using the jumpers as in the diagram.
NOTE: Factory default is 120VAC. To avoid personal injury or damage to the product, ensure that
the jumper setting matches the wiring connections (See “Wiring Diagram:” on page 2) and the
supplied voltage. Improper settings/wiring will void the warranty and SECO-LARM will not be
responsible for any resulting injury.
Wiring Terminals:

the power wires to that location in compliance with any local codes.

120VAC) for the Door Holder (See "Voltage Settings:" below) and adjust the jumpers.
3. For the DH-151SQ (Surface-Mount Magnetic Door Holder):
a. Mount the back box to the location where your wires are run and connect the wires
according to the wiring diagram on page 2.*
b. Finish screwing down the unit to the back box and test the unit.
4. For the DH-171SQ (Flush-Mount Magnetic Door Holder):
a. Connect the wires according to the wiring
diagram on page 2.*
b. Finish screwing down the unit to the single-
gang box and test the unit.
5. Mount the Armature Plate to the door and make
sure it lines up with the door holder (Extensions
available if needed, See pg. 2).
6. Double check all connections and mountings to
make sure the installation is complete.
*IMPORTANT: The wiring connections must match the
voltage jumper settings and the supplied voltage.
