SL30SGL
1. Description
The SL30SGL is a motor driven low voltage electric lock designed to secure
commercial and residential doors. The lock has been designed to address the
two biggest issues in concealed electric locking today; 1. The ability to
`pull’ a door into alignment even if the door has not closed in a central
position. 2. The ability to release when requested even if there is excessive
load on the door. The bolt pin of the SL30SGL operates on a cam action which
enables the bolt pin to pull a door into place. In practice, as the door
closes it may come to rest in a position that is not fully closed, especially
if closing against a door seal of some type. The SL30SGL senses when the door
is within 8mm (5/16 inch) of being fully closed and activates the bolt pin.
The bolt pin then rotates out and pulls the door from its resting position to
the closed and sealed position. With the door secured and locked the SL30SGL
can be given an unlock signal and it will instantly unlock. If the door is
loaded (pre-load) when the unlock signal is given the SL30SGL will still
unlock, even with loads in excess of 500kg on the door. Critically, the
ability of the SL30SGL to instantly release with excessive pre-load on the
door even occurs in the event of a power failure, providing the lock is
configured as fail safe. Additional features of the SL30SGL are; · Multi-
voltage input (12 – 24VDC) · Very low current consumption · Door position and
bolt position monitors · High physical strength · Fail-safe / Fail-secure on-
site conversion with the re-positioning of a single switch

4. Pre-Installation Assessment
4.1 Mechanical
The SL30SGL is designed for mortise installations as this offers a discrete
solution as the lock and strike plate can be embedded into the door and frame.
In some instances however mortise installation is not possible so by utilising
the housing, surface installation of the SL30SGL is possible. Whichever
installation method is chosen it is important that the lock and strike plate
are aligned correctly. The strike plate has an opening to accept the bolt pin
and centring this opening with the bolt pin will ensure correct operation.
The SL30SGL can be installed vertically or horizontally but is not designed to
be mounted in a floor cavity firing upwards or in a wet environment.
When installing the SL30SGL vertically, take note of which way the door is
closing from. It the door is approaching form the left the bolt pin is at the
top, if the door is approaching from the right then the bolt pin is at the
bottom, as indicated below:
Door closing from the left, the lock is installed with the bolt pin at the top.
Door closing from the right, the lock is installed with the bolt pin at the bottom.

4.2 Electrical
The first consideration is to establish where to run the wires and decide on
what feedback is required from the lock. There are a total of seven available
connections; three are compulsory power connections whilst the remaining four
provide optional door and bolt position feedback. These optional connections
can be integrated into access control or alarm systems to provide full
monitoring.
The correct gauge of wire needs to be chosen as voltage drop across the power
wires (+ and -) can limit the locks operation. For all the remaining
connections, a lower gauge wire can be used as these are only signal wires.
The following chart shows the maximum distance that the power supply can be
away from the lock, assuming the power supplies output 12VDC or 24VDC:
AWG 24 22 20 18 16 14
Area (mm²) 0.20 0.33 0.52 0.82 1.31 2.08

5. Installation
Two installation examples are detailed on the following pages; mortise and
surface, however any combination of the two can be achieved. Whichever
installation method is chosen it is vital to ensure that the lock face plate
and the strike plate align correctly and the gap between the lock face plate
and strike plate does not exceed 8mm when the door is closed.
5.1 Mortice Installation
A typical mortise installation is described with the lock fitted into the door
frame and the strike plate secured into the door. It is possible to install
the lock into the door and the strike plate into the frame however with this
method running wiring to the lock requires additional work.
5.1.1 Cutting the mortices
Referring to the dimension drawings in Section 3; mortices are cut into the
door and door frame suitable to fit the strike plate and lock. Wooden doors
and frames require full mortices where metal doors and frames, being hollow,
often only require a single rectangle cut-out to accommodate the lock face
plate or strike plate. For these installations the supplied fitting tabs can
be used to secure the lock and strike plate in place.
The mortice behind the lock body needs to have enough space to accommodate the
wiring.
Cut-out in a metal door to accommodate the strike plate.
Cut-out in a wooden door frame to accommodate
the lock.
5.1.2 Wiring the lock
Wires are run from the power supply to the lock. A hole needs to be drilled in
the back of the mortice to bring the wires out and a connection can be made to
the supplied wire loom which in turn plugs into the lock. The jumper needs to
be positioned for fail safe / fail secure configuration as per the
instructions on the lock cover.
The Red, Black and Blue wires are essential connections whilst the Violet and
White are optional. Detailed wiring instructions are found in Section 6.
Page 8
5.1.3 Fitting the lock and strike plate
The lock is slid back into the mortice, making sure that the wiring integrity
is maintained and secure in place with the supplied 10G self-tapping screws.
Before the strike plate is installed the fitting tabs are secured in behind
the cut-out using the supplied M5 machine screws. The strike plate is then
placed into the cut out and the remaining M5 screws are used to secure it.

Lock secured directly into the door frame.
5.1.4 Checking the operation
With the lock and strike installed and wiring complete the door is closed to
check the alignment and operation. The key area for alignment is the bolt pin;
the pin is designed to touch the leading edge of the strike plate hole to pull
the door in, but it cannot be allowed to touch the sides of the hole as this
will limit its unlocking ability. If its rubs or touches the side of the
strike plate hole, either the lock or strike plate needs to be re-positioned.
Clearance Bolt pin Clearance
The bolt pin touches the leading edge of the strike plate hole but there needs
to be clearance around the sides of the hole.
Page 9
5.2 Surface Installation
By using housing, the lock and or strike plate can be surface mounted to the
door or door frame eliminating the need for cutting mortises. Housings are
available with adhesive tape supplied for easy application to glass doors in
addition to having screw hole mounting points for wood and metal doors.
5.2.1 Securing the lock housing to wood
Before fitting the housing, determine exactly where the wiring will enter the
housing and drill one or two 8mm holes through the housing wall. Ensure the
holes are on the housing face that goes against the wooden frame. Push the
supplied grommet(s) into the drilled hole(s). The two 10G Hex head self
tapping screws supplied with the housing can then be screwed into the wood but
not tightened. The two keyhole shaped cut outs in the housing fit over these
screw heads which are tightened with a ring spanner once the housing is in
place.
5.2.2 Wiring the lock
Wires are run from the power supply to the lock through the drilled hole(s) in
the housing. A connection can be made to the supplied wire loom which in turn
plugs into the lock. The jumper needs to be positioned for fail safe / fail
secure configuration as per the instructions on the lock cover.
The Red, Black and Blue wires are essential connections whilst the Violet and
White are optional. Detailed wiring instructions can be found in Section 6.
5.2.3 Fitting the lock into the housing
Once wired, the lock is slid into the housing and secured in place with the
supplied M5 machine screws. Make sure that the wiring integrity is maintained
as the lock is screwed in place.
Page 10
5.2.4 Fitting the strike plate housing to glass
For simple application to glass the housing is supplied with self-adhesive
tape. With the backing removed the housing can be applied directly to the
glass. A flat stainless steel dress plate is fitted on the opposite side of
the glass to give a clean finish. The protective coating on the dress plate
can be removed once it is in place.
5.2.5 Fitting the strike plate into the housing
The strike plate is placed into the housing and secured in place with the
supplied M5 machine screws.
5.2.6 Checking the operation
With the lock and strike installed and wiring complete the door is closed to
check the alignment and operation. The key area for alignment is the bolt pin;
the pin is designed to touch the leading edge of the strike plate hole to pull
the door in, but it cannot be allowed to touch the sides of the hole as this
will limit its unlocking ability. If its rubs or touches the side of the
strike plate hole, either the lock or strike plate needs to be re-positioned.

6. Wiring
The SL30SGL is supplied with a 7-way wire loom that plugs directly into the
lock. The wires are colour coded with three being essential connections and
four optional. Control of the lock is achieved by using the three power wires,
whilst door and bolt position monitoring are available when desired. Connect
the SL30SGL as per the chart:

6.1 Fail Safe Connection
When wiring the SL30SGL, the positive voltage is connected to RED, negative is
connected to BLACK and a switched positive voltage wire connected to BLUE. In
Fail Safe configuration applying voltage to the SL30SGL signals it to lock.
The lock signal in Fail Safe configuration is active high.
Page 12
6.2 Fail Secure Connection
When wiring the SL30SGL, the positive voltage is connected to RED, negative is
connected to BLACK and a switched positive voltage wire connected to BLUE. In
Fail Secure configuration applying voltage to the SL30SGL signals it to
unlock. The lock signal in Fail Secure configuration is active low.
6.3 Jumper Position
The fail mode of the SL30SGL is factory set as Fail Safe, i.e. in the event of
a power cut the SL30SGL will unlock. Before the lock is installed this can be
changed to Fail Secure by repositioning the jumper located next to the 7-way
plug on the end of the lock. Select the desired jumper location as indicated:
Jumper in Fail Safe position
Jumper in Fail Secure position
Fail Safe Fail Secure
= Fail Unlocked = Fail Locked
= Power To Lock = Power to Open
= PTL = PTO
Page 13
7. Operation
7.1 Fail Safe Operation
Assume the lock is installed and wired, the door is open and there is voltage
applied to the BLUE wire. As the door closes the SL30SGL senses the door
approaching and activates the appropriate bolt pin to pull the door into
centre alignment. Once the first bolt pin has fully extended, the second bolt
pin activates and drives to its full extension. If the door closes to a centre
aligned position quickly then both bolt pins activate at the same time rather
than one leading the other. The Bolt Position and Door Position monitors will
have changed state as the door is moved into place and secured.
To unlock the door, voltage is removed from the BLUE wire. The SL30SGL will
immediately release and will do so even when significant load is being applied
to the door. With the door now open the Bolt Position and Door Position
monitors change state again. The SL30SGL will remain unlocked as long as the
door is open but will instantly re-lock when voltage is applied to the BLUE
wire and the door is closed.
In the event of a power failure, voltage is removed from the BLUE wire and the
SL30SGL unlocks.
