6. Instal·lació
6.1 Components anteriorsview i Dimensions
Familiarize yourself with the components and their dimensions before installation.

Figura 1: Explotat view and dimensions of the electromagnetic lock components, including the electromagnet, armature plates, mounting plate, and various screws and washers.
6.2 Mounting the Lock
The electromagnetic lock is typically mounted on the door frame, and the armature plate is mounted on the door itself. Ensure the mounting surfaces are flat, clean, and strong enough to support the lock's weight and holding force.

Figura 2: Example of L-brackets, which may be used for specific mounting configurations (sold separately or included in some kits).
- Posicionament: Determine the optimal position for the lock on the door frame and the armature plate on the door. For double doors, ensure both locks are aligned.
- Perforació: Mark and drill pilot holes for the mounting screws according to the lock and armature plate dimensions.
- Mounting the Electromagnet: Secure the main electromagnetic lock unit to the door frame using the provided long self-tapping screws. Ensure it is firmly attached.
- Muntatge de la placa de l'armadura: Attach the armature plate to the door using the armature screw, rubber washer, and steel washers. The armature plate should have a slight degree of movement to allow for proper alignment with the electromagnet.

Figura 4: Close-up of the armature plate. It is crucial not to overtighten the armature plate screws. A slightly loose armature plate allows for better alignment with the electromagnet, ensuring maximum holding force.
6.3 Cablejat
The electromagnetic lock requires connection to a 12VDC or 24VDC power supply and an access control system. Ensure the correct voltage is selected on the lock if applicable, or supplied by your power source.

Figura 5: Comprehensive wiring diagram illustrating connections between the electromagnetic lock, power supply, access control keypad, exit button, and door bell.

Figura 6: Interna view of the lock's circuit board, showing the terminal blocks for power input (V+, V-) and signal output (NO, NC, COM).
- Connexió d'alimentació: Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the lock to your 12VDC or 24VDC power supply. Ensure polarity is correct.
- Voltage Selecció: If your lock has a voltage selection jumper, ensure it is set to match your power supply (12V or 24V).
- Access Control Integration: Connect the lock's control wires (typically to the NO/NC/COM terminals) to your access control system (e.g., keypad, card reader, exit button) as per the system's instructions. The lock operates in NC (Normally Closed) mode, meaning it locks when power is applied.
- Sortida del senyal: The NO/NC/COM terminals can be used to provide lock status feedback to an access control panel or monitoring system.
- Prova: After wiring, carefully test the lock's functionality with your access control system before finalizing the installation.
7. Funcionament
The UHPPOTE Double Door Electromagnetic Lock operates in a fail-safe (NC) mode. This means the lock is engaged (locked) when electrical power is supplied to it, and it disengages (unlocks) when the power is interrupted.
- Bloqueig: When the access control system applies power to the electromagnetic lock, the electromagnet creates a magnetic field, attracting the armature plate and securing the door. The integrated LED will typically illuminate VERMELL to indicate a locked state.
- Desbloqueig: When the access control system removes power (e.g., via an exit button, card swipe, or keypad entry), the magnetic field dissipates, allowing the door to be opened. The integrated LED will typically illuminate VERD to indicate an unlocked state.
8. Manteniment
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your electromagnetic lock.
- Neteja: Keep the surfaces of both the electromagnet and the armature plate clean and free from dust, dirt, or debris. Use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Inspecció: Periodically inspect all mounting screws and wiring connections to ensure they are secure. Tighten any loose screws.
- Alineació: Check the alignment between the electromagnet and the armature plate. Misalignment can reduce holding force.
- Integritat del cable: Ensure all cables are intact and free from damage. Replace any frayed or damaged wiring immediately.
9. Solució De Problemes
Consulteu els següents problemes i solucions habituals:
| Problema | Causa possible | Solució |
|---|---|---|
| Lock has weak holding force or does not engage properly. | Armature plate screws are too tight, preventing proper alignment. Misalignment between electromagnet and armature plate. Dirt or debris on contact surfaces. Font d'alimentació insuficient. | Loosen the armature plate screws slightly to allow for minor movement and better alignment. Adjust the position of the lock or armature plate for optimal contact. Clean both surfaces thoroughly. Comproveu la font d'alimentació voltage and current meet specifications. |
| Lock does not engage (stay locked) when power is applied. | Sense potència o vol incorrectetage. Error de cablejat. Faulty lock unit. | Check power supply and ensure correct 12VDC or 24VDC is being delivered. Verify voltagsaltador de selecció. Review wiring diagram and connections for errors. Contact support if power and wiring are confirmed correct. |
| Lock does not disengage (unlock) when power is removed. | Power is not being cut off. Stuck armature plate. | Check the access control system to ensure it is properly cutting power to the lock. Inspect the armature plate for any physical obstructions or damage. |
| LED indicator is not working or shows incorrect status. | Wiring issue to LED or bond sensor. Faulty LED/sensor. | Check internal wiring connections. Ensure the bond sensor is making proper contact. Contact support if issue persists. |
Consell important: As mentioned in the product details, if the armature plate is installed too tightly, it can lead to weak locking force. It is recommended to loosen the armature plate screws slightly to allow for minor play and optimal contact with the electromagnet.
