Product Information

The DE8310 Delayed Egress V1.6 Electromagnetic Locks are fail-safe devices designed for securing doors. When power is supplied, the door is locked, and the local buzzer is off. The product includes a local SPDT relay and a remote alarm DPDT relay. The lock has a release delay sequence that begins if the trigger is maintained for longer than the set nuisance delay. The release delay is initially set for 15 seconds but can be extended to 30 seconds with permission from the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). The lock also features a short nuisance delay and does not require pressure on the door after the release delay starts. The local buzzer changes from a pulse to steady during the release delay.

Installation Instructions

  1. Mount the electromagnetic lock to the door frame as outlined on the installation template included with the product.
    Armature Plate Mounting Notes:

    • This plate must pivot slightly on the mounting bolt to allow proper alignment with the magnet surface. If not aligned, the lock may lose holding force or not lock at all.
    • The rubber washer on the head of the mounting bolt should project slightly beyond the surface of the armature plate. It will expand when power is removed and break the air vacuum between the plate and magnet. If removed or trimmed, the lock will appear to have some holding force even when power is removed.
    • For added safety, thread locking compound has been provided for the armature plate bolt and the four captive electromagnetic lock mounting screws.
      • WARNING : Improper installation, maintenance, inspection or usage of the product or any related accessories or parts may cause the electromagnetic lock, armature plate and associated hardware to disengage and fall, causing serious bodily injury and property damage. dormakaba Canada Inc. and/or dormakaba USA Inc. will not be liable to the installer, purchaser, end user or anyone else for damage or injury to person or property due to improper installation, care, storage, handling, maintenance, inspection, abuse, misuse or act of God or nature involving this product or any related accessories or parts.
  2. Route the power supply connecting wire through the door frame and into the wire access hole in the top of the magnet housing. The connecting wire should be of sufficient gauge for the lock being installed and the distance being run.

  3. See system overview and switching options.

Delayed Egress System – Overview

  • The Delayed Egress electromagnetic lock is a fail-safe device. In normal conditions with power, the door is locked, the local buzzer is off, the local SPDT relay is de-energized and the remote alarm DPDT relay is energized.
  • The exit sequence is a dip switch selectable for either pressure sensing on the door or a REX switch in the exit hardware. See Dip Switch 10-1. A nuisance delay period can be set for 0, 1, 2, or 3 seconds as defined by the local building code. During this period the local buzzer will pulse and the local alarm relay will be energized. If pressure on the door or hardware is released during this period the system returns to normal conditions. This would be considered accidental triggering. See Dip Switch 8-2&3.
  • If the trigger is maintained for longer than the set nuisance delay, an irreversible release delay sequence begins. This release delay is for 15 seconds but may be extended to 30 seconds with permission of the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). It includes the short nuisance delay. Pressure is no longer required on the door. The remote relay de-energizes. The local buzzer changes from a pulse to steady. See Dip Switch 8-1. The lock releases when the release delay time ends. The local buzzer remains on until reset and the local alarm relay will de-energize. The system relock is defined by the local building code.

All installations must be approved by the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). The COM input/output is used to synchronize a pair of delayed egress maglocks, for use on double doors. Use the provided wire harness; yellow, green, and black. Configure the DIP switch settings of both locks the same, to ensure proper operation.

  • PUSH UNTIL ALARM SOUNDS DOOR CAN BE OPENED IN 15 SECONDS
    • Several building codes including the NFPA 101 Life Safety Code and the International Building Code require the signage (shown left) to be mounted on the door close to the releasing device. For IBC 2017 applications with inswinging doors, use the top jamb bracket accessory and the signage on the right.
  • PULL UNTIL ALARM SOUNDS DOOR CAN BE OPENED IN 15 SECONDS

Delayed Egress 8310 Series Troubleshooting Guide

PROBLEM SOLUTION

Cannot remove the lock mounting bracket from the top of a magnet for installation.| Remove the anti-tamper screw and cavity screw. Insert the supplied Allen wrench into mounting bolt holes in the bottom of the lock housing and turn. (See Fig.1)
A lock is installed but has no holding force at all.| Check the power supply. DC power should be within 12-24VDC.

Check connections at the power supply, connected releasing devices, lock terminals and lock circuit board to the magnet core.


The lock has enough holding force to lightly hold a screwdriver or set of pliers but the door will not lock.

| ****

Check to see that the armature plate is correctly aligned with the electromagnetic lock.

If there is improper alignment, make a 1/4” turn of the armature plate mounting bolt and check for alignment.

Make sure to follow the armature plate mounting instructions on the template and page 1 of this install.

A lock is operating and locking but the armature plate is “humming” against the surface of the lock.| This generally indicates that the lock is either operating on AC voltage or there is some AC voltage present in the DC supply. A properly filtered and regulated DC power supply is required to achieve optimal operation from the lock.


A lock is not released immediately upon the removal of power

| ****

Ensure that switching devices are interrupting the DC power and not the AC power supply voltage.

Ensure the rubber washer on the armature plate mounting bolt has not been removed or damaged.

Remove any Diodes or other suppression devices that may be installed.


The second door doesn’t release

| ****

Check COM connections per page 4.
