5. Pre-Installation
5.1 Mounting Assessment
Before the lock can be installed, consider its location and orientation. The RG80 can be mounted horizontally or firing downwards vertically, however mounting it firing upwards vertically may deteriorate the bolt pin seal faster and will void warranty.
Lock mounted to the ground.
Lock mounted to the wall horizontally.
Lock mounted to the wall with bolt pin vertically down.
DO NOT mount the lock with bolt pin vertically up.
Because the RG80 can be installed onto various mounting surfaces, with different requirements for fasteners depending on the surface material, no mounting bolts are supplied. The three mounting holes in the lock and four in the strike are 8mm holes, and so accept M8 size fasteners (or 5/16 inch).
When positioning the strike, it is important to achieve a reasonable level of alignment with the bolt pin as to ensure correct locking and operation. The hole in the strike is of a larger diameter than that of the bolt pin, however installing the strike so the bolt pin goes into the hole centrally is best as it will allow for movement of the door over time. To ensure the RG80 operates properly, the lock and strike must be separated by 15mm or less (⅝ inch or less).
The adjustable nature of the strike means that the supplied magnet can be inserted in the desired location for all operating conditions, meaning the strike can approach from either the right, left, top, or bottom face of the lock.
5.2 Wiring Assessment
Before installation begins, consideration must be made for where to run the wires and decide on what feedback is required from the lock. There are a total of eight available connections; four are used for power/control connections whilst the remaining four provide optional door position, bolt position, and tamper detection 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/control wires 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 table shows the maximum distance that the wire runs can be between the power supply and the lock, assuming the power supply outputs 12VDC or 24VDC.

The cable is detachable, and can either be run out of the base of the lock into the mounting surface or follow the channel in the base and be run out of the back end of the lock. If the cable is being run through the mounting surface, an additional hole is needed in the mounting surface for the cable to be pulled through (refer to dimension drawing for hole location).
Cable being run out through the neoprene gasket to pass through mounting surface.
Cable being tracked through the channel and out the back of the lock for use with conduit.
5.3 Operating Mode Assessment
The RG80 can be set to one of three operating modes, one of two failure modes, and have the heater set on or off. These can be set by changing the dip switches on the product before or after installation.
The lock can be set to either normal mode, toggle mode, or twin wire mode. Deciding which operation mode is appropriate will depend on the control hardware being used with the RG80.
- For normal mode , the control input is set either high or low, and this will correspond to whether the RG80 is locked or unlocked. The controller or button will need to go high or low to trigger an unlock, and held there for the desired window to open the door.
- For toggle mode , the control input is provided a positive pulse, and this will correspond to the RG80 locking or unlocking. The RG80 will change states between locked and unlocked on every pulse.
- For twin wire mode , two control inputs ares used. When control input 1 is provided a positive pulse the RG80 will lock, when control input 2 is provided a positive pulse the RG80 will unlock.
The lock can also be set to either fail safe, or fail secure. Deciding this will depend on how the lock should behave when there is power loss.
- For fail safe , the control input is set high to lock the door, and the RG80 will unlock in the event of power loss.
- For fail secure , the control input is set low to unlock the door, and the RG80 will lock or remain locked in the event of power loss.
The lock can also utilise a heater. Deciding whether to have the heater active will depend on the RG80 installation location and climate. If there is potential for ice to accumulate on the bolt pin, having the heater set on will ensure the RG80 can continue to operate.
5.4 Strike Configuration
The RG80 strike can be mounted a number of ways in relation to the lock, but to do so the embedded magnet must be moved to align with the RG80s internal reed sensor. Consider the magnet location for the following mounting orientations.
When the strike is oriented 90 degrees counter-clockwise to the lock, the magnet should be in the right slot.
When the strike is oriented in the same plane as the lock, the magnet should be in the top slot.
When the strike is oriented 90 degrees clockwise to the lock, the magnet should be in the left slot.
Strike Dissasembly
Remove the screw securing the strike ring with a #2 Phillips screwdriver.
Slide the strike ring off of the strike to reveal the magnet.
Carefully remove the exposed magnet be tipping the strike over, or using the tip of the screwdriver.
Strike Ressasembly
Re-insert the magnet into the appropriate hole, such that when the door is closed the magnet is in the hole closest to the lid of the lock, then fit the strike ring back into position and secure with screw.
6. Mounting
6.1 Lock Installation
1. Drill the lock mounting holes
Referring to the product dimension drawings, drill holes at the mounting
locations to accept the appropriate M8 screws for the surface material (screws
not included). In the example shown, M8 stud anchors are used in a precast
concrete wall.
2. Wiring the lock
Pull the required cable either through a hole in the mounting surface aligned
with the connector port of the lock, or though a fixed conduit up to the
opening at the back of the lock (refer to dimension drawings). A connection
can be made to the supplied wire loom which in turn plugs into the lock.
Ensure their are no sharp edges the wire loom can be cut on, use a grommet or
similar as required.
If the neoprene base in being used, ensure the wire loom is passed through the neoprene base before mounting the lock, or push the wire loom into the track under the neoprene base, depending on the wiring pathway.
Refer to the Wiring section of this document for detailed instructions on wiring.
3. Setting the operating mode
Ensure the DIP switches are set to the desired operation mode.
Refer to the Operation Mode section of this document for detailed instructions on setting the operation mode.
4. Mounting the lock
The lock can be positioned over the mounting holes, with the neoprene base in
between if being used. Take care to keep the wiring clear of being crushed by
the lock when mounting. With the lid removed, insert and tighten the mounting
hardware to secure the lock into place.
Place the lid back onto the lock and tighten up the lid screws using a 4mm hex key. To ensure a good even seal between the lid and lock body, partially tighten all four screws first before completely tightening them.
6.2 Strike Installation
1. Drill the strike mounting holes
Referring to the product dimension drawings, drill holes at the mounting
locations to accept the appropriate M8 screws for the surface material (screws
not included). In the example shown, 8mm holes are drilled and tapped in the
aluminium box section of a gate.
Ensure that the lock and strike are aligned vertically and horizontally when the door is closed as this aligns the bolt pin to the strike opening and also the strike magnet to the locks internal door position sensor.
Ensure that the final gap between the lock and strike once it is installed will be no more than 15mm (5/8 inch).
2. Configure the strike
Ensure the magnet has been moved to the correct location to suit the mounting
orientation of the lock and strike.
Refer to the Strike Configuration section of this document for detailed instructions on assessing and configuring the strike.
3. Mounting the strike
The strike can be positioned over the mounting holes. Insert and tighten the
mounting hardware to secure the strike into place.
You can verify the placement and configuration of the strike by closing the door and removing the lid of the lock. If the RG80 detects the magnet, the RED LED will light up. Otherwise if it does not light up, the gap between the lock and strike may be too large or the magnet may not be in the correct location under the strike ring.
7. Wiring
The RG80 is supplied with a 8-way wire loom that plugs directly into the lock. The wires are colour coded as per table below, with the power and control wires being essential connections and the four monitor connections being optional.

8.1 Operation Modes
Normal Mode (Fail Safe)
Assume the lock is installed, wired, and set to normal mode and fail safe. The door is open and the positive supply voltage is applied to the BLUE wire. When the door is closed the RG80 senses the strike and activates the bolt pin. If the bolt pin is obstructed during locking, the RG80 will attempt three times to lock before returning to the unlocked state.
To unlock the door, the voltage is removed from the BLUE wire. The RG80 will unlock and the door can then be opened. If the door is not opened before voltage is reapplied to the BLUE wire, the RG80 will re-lock.
Normal Mode (Fail Secure)
Assume the lock is installed, wired, and set to normal mode and fail secure. The door is open and the positive supply voltage is removed from the BLUE wire. When the door is closed the RG80 senses the strike and activates the bolt pin. If the bolt pin is obstructed during locking, the RG80 will attempt three times to lock before returning to the unlocked state.
To unlock the door, the voltage is applied to the BLUE wire. The RG80 will unlock and the door can then be opened. If the door is not opened before voltage is removed from the BLUE wire again, the RG80 will re-lock.
Toggle Mode
Assume the lock is installed, wired, and set to toggle mode. The door is closed and locked and a positive pulse is applied to the BLUE wire, the RG80 will unlock and the door can then be opened. While the door is open a second positive pulse is applied to the BLUE wire, when the door is closed the RG80 senses the strike and activates the bolt pin. If the bolt pin is obstructed during locking, the RG80 will attempt three times to lock before returning to the unlocked state.
The lock will continue to change between locked and unlocked for every pulse applied.
Twin Wire Mode
Assume the lock is installed, wired, and set to twin wire mode. The door is closed and locked and a positive pulse is applied to the BROWN wire, the RG80 will unlock and the door can then be opened. While the door is open a positive pulse is applied to the BLUE wire, when the door is closed the RG80 senses the strike and activates the bolt pin. If the bolt pin is obstructed during locking, the RG80 will attempt three times to lock before returning to the unlocked state.
Applying a pulse to the BLUE wire will set the RG80 to lock regardless of previous state. Applying a pulse to the BROWN wire will set the RG80 to unlock regardless of previous state.
Diagnostic Mode
There are six tests which can be cycled through by toggling the position of the fourth dip switch ON or OFF. The YELLOW LED will blink based on what test number you are on. Once testing has been completed, ensure all four of the dip switches have been returned to their original operating position.

8.2 Failure Modes
Fail Safe
In the event of a power failure, the RG80 will unlock. This ensures safe
passage in emergency situations, as well as access when power is unavailable.
Fail Secure
In the event of a power failure, the RG80 will lock, or remain locked, if the
door is closed. This ensures that a lock will not disengage during power
failure, keeping the access secured.
8.3 Heater Mode (Requires 24VDC Power Supply)
The heater mode allows the RG80 to be used in colder climates, where the bolt pin can become iced over. When the heater mode is enabled, the RG80 will automatically activate the heater to ensure the lock is operating above freezing conditions. The heater will self-regulate and only be active when it is needed to conserve energy.
9. Maintenance
9.1 Maintenance and Cleaning
The lock has been factory lubricated for life and is maintenance free. The use of other lubricants is not permitted and will void the warranty.
With the lid removed it is important to take care when selecting the configuration or interacting with the printed circuit board.
This lock contains electromechanical and electronic components that are subject to wear and tear depending on use and on-site installation conditions. The manufacturer has no influence on these factors. As a result of this wear, the lock may fail at the end of its normal service life.
| Interval | Activity |
|---|---|
| As needed: | To keep the RG80 working effectively, ensure the strike hole and |
bolt pin are clear of debris at all times.
Periodically, depending on frequency of use (to be determined by the
operator):| Check for:
- Tight fit
- Smooth running
- Noise during operation
- Play of the bolt
- Contamination
- Escaping lubricant
- Moisture
If there are unusual noises, noticeable play, escaping lubricant or similar; replace the lock.
9.2 End of Service Life
Running the diagnostic mode is a crucial step in assessing the health of a product. This mode allows for the identification of any test failures, which could indicate underlying issues. For example, should the diagnostic indicate the rated cycle count is surpassed or signal poor motor health, it implies potential concerns with the motor’s condition. Similarly, a report of a bad power supply, despite using a reliable power source and wiring, or any input/output (IO) failures, are clear indicators that the product is not functioning as intended.
To prevent any unforeseen problems in the field, it’s essential to conduct these diagnostic checks regularly. By doing so, any potential issues can be detected and addressed early on, thereby avoiding more significant problems later. If the diagnostics reveal any critical failures, it is considered to have reached the end of its service life and should be retired accordingly. This proactive approach ensures reliability and maintains the integrity of the product’s performance over time.
