unauthorized entry. When power is applied to the electromagnetic lock, it creates an extremely strong
magnetic field. The electromagnet is strongly attracted to the steel armature plate which is mounted on the
secured door. Once the electromagnet is deactivated, the secured door will function normally without any
residual magnetism.

will make installation much easier.
2. The electromagnetic lock is designed for indoor use ONLY.
3. The most suitable mounting location for the electromagnetic lock may require the use of
additional SECO-LARM accessories such as “Z” brackets, “L” brackets, “U” brackets and/or
plate spacers. See the diagram on pg. 3 to decide if a particular application requires any
mounting accessories. See pg. 7 for a partial list of SECO-LARM maglock accessories.
4. Do not run power wires and signal wires in the same conduit as this may cause interference.
5. Do not install a diode in parallel with the electromagnetic lock as this may cause a delay when
releasing the door as well as cause residual magnetism.
6. The best location to install the electromagnetic lock is on the inside of the door that is being
secured with the wiring concealed in the frame to prevent tampering.

(see Fig. 1).
2. Close the door. Find a mounting location on the
door frame near the upper free-moving corner of
the door, or as close as possible to the upper
corner of the door frame opposite the hinges
(see Fig. 2).
3. Place the mounting template a
frame. Mark where the holes are to be drilled
(see Fig. 3).
4. Drill two holes in the frame and three holes in the
door as shown on the template (see Fig. 4).

screw to compensate for door misalignment
(see Fig. 7).
8. Tighten the armature screw enough so that the
armature plate can withstand a break-in attempt, but
loose enough so that the armature plate can pivot
slightly. Make sure the anti-spin guide pins are in the
two guide pin holes (see Fig. 8).
Tip: Use a thread-locking compound on the
armature screw to ensure a long-lasting installation.
9. Remove the two anti-tamper screws from the
electromagnet and the cover plate. (see Fig. 9).
Remove the four hex head mounting screws to
unmount the mounting plate from the electromagnet.

mounting plate position and confirm the position by
holding the magnet in place. Once satisfied with the
position, tighten the screws (see Figs. 10 and 11).
11. Once the position of the mounting plate is correct,
screw in and install the eight long self(see Fig. 12).
12. Drill the cable access hole. Run the power leads
through the cable access hole in the mounting plate
and through the hole in the door frame (see Fig. 13).
13. Run the power leads through the large cable access
hole of the electromagnet (see Fig. 14).
14. Mount the electromagnet through the keyhole slots
and align the electromagnet with the mounting plate
so the electromagnet ends are flush with the ends of
the mounting plate. Use the hex wrench to screw the
hex-head mounting screws (that you removed in
step 9) through the bottom of the electromagnet into
the mounting bracket (see Fig. 15).
15. Cut the wires so they are long enough to connect
with the terminal block. Set the voltage using the
selection jumpers based on your input voltage (see
"Wiring Diagram" on pg. 7).
NOTE: Failure to correctly set the input voltage may
cause damage to the lock.
