LOX LOCKING EM5000 Monitored Weather Resistant 630kg Electro-Magnetic Lock
Instruction Manual
Introduction
The EM5000 series electromagnetic lock is designed to be used on external
gates or doors that are exposed to the elements. The casing is made of
stainless steel and the product is rated to IP67.
The EM5000 can be installed on single swing doors or sliding doors and has no
residual magnetism.
The electromagnetic lock should always be mounted on the secure side of the
door. The EM5000 armature can be mounted from either the Front, or the Side.
The EM5000 has a built-in power conditional relay switch. :
Wiring and Power input requirements:
Important Safety Requirements
The armature plate must remain movable to allow surface alignment with the
magnet face. The Magnetic Lock will lose holding force without this floating
alignment.
Do not trim the rubber washer mounted on the head of the armature centre bolt.
Trimming rubber washers will adversely affect the release of the armature
plate from the magnetic lock.
- Apply thread-locker glue (e.g. Loctite) to the thread of the Armature-Plate-Fixing Screw (Allen-Screw) to prevent from becoming loose.
- Locks have to be inspected at regular intervals to ascertain the safety functionality in conjunction with the door environment.
- The supplied Allen screws cater for maximum door-thickness of 45mm.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Door will not lock | No DC voltage to lock | Check power supply and wiring to |
magnetic lock.
Reduced holding force| No contact between armature plate and face of magnet.|
Ensure mating surfaces are clean and in proper alignment and the armature
plate floats freely.
| Low voltage or wrong voltage setting| Correct to specified voltage setting
and power input requirement
Reed Switch Status is incorrect| Misalignment of armature plate.| Correct
armature plate alignment.
Maintenance
Contacting surface of the Electro-Magnet and Armature Plate must be kept free of contaminating materials. Sur-faces should be cleaned periodically with a non-abrasive cleaner. Do not spray the Electromagnet or Armature Plate surface with any chemicals such as lacquer, etc. This will cause serious problems with the release of the magnetic Lock and its Armature Plate resulting in serious safety problems.
