the armature plate. Make sure there is space to run the cable.
a. Tack weld bracket into place. (Tack weld only).
b. Dismount the electromagnetic lock from the bracket. Warning: Failure to remove
electromagnetic lock will result in severe damage to lock. Weld 3 or 4 beads about 1” apart.
Make sure not to weld the junction box. (See mounting diagram for “No Weld” areas).
c. Remount the electromagnetic lock.
Mount the armature:
a. Once the electromagnet is mounted, determine the armature bracket location and tack weld into
place (Tack weld only.)
b. Dismount the armature plate from the bracket. Warning: Failure to remove the armature plate
from the bracket will damage the armature and rubber washer.
3 or 4 beads about 1” apart. Make sure not to weld near the set screw hole. (See mounting
diagram for “No Weld” areas).
c. Remount the armature.
i. Put one rubber washer between two steel washers, and place them over the armature screw
armature screw in order to compensate for gate misalignment.
ii. Make sure the guide pins are inserted into guide holes to prevent the armature from spinning.
iii. Do not overly tighten the armature against the bracket. The armature must be able to pivot
around the armature screw.
Run the wires. The goal is to keep as little of the wires exposed as possible.
a. Run the wires into an out-of-sight location as close as possible to the electromagnet.
b. Use standard armored cable to prevent the wires from being cut between the electromagnet and
the out-of-sight location.
Connect the wires. Note: Unit is prewired for 12V operation. See Wiring Diagram (page 3) for more
information.
a. For 12V operation – connect the red and white wires to +12VDC, and the black and green wires to
ground.
b. For 24V operation – connect the red wire to +24VDC, the green wire to ground, and then tie the
white and black wires together and insulate.
IMPORTANT: Damage caused by improper connection will void warranty.
Test the unit.
Insert the tamper caps into the mounting screw access holes of the electromagnet. This should be the
last step, as once the tamper caps are in place, they are difficult to remove.
