Problem DPS Does Not Report Door Status Points of Reference
Check strike mounting for proper alignment Table A / Section 5.6.6
Check for proper door closure Section 8.1
Check for proper voltage/current on switch Section 2
Solution
Check resettable protection device Section 1
Problem The Magnalock Does Not Release Points of Reference
Make sure no voltage is present at Magnalock Section 2
Make sure the Magnalock is not drawing current Section 2
Check if the strike is sticky and hard to release Section 8
Solution
Check the Magnalock and strike for obstructions
and that contact surfaces are properly cleaned
Section 8

Wire Gauge Factoring
1.1 Remote Power Supply
 The Magnalock requires adequate voltage and current for proper operation.
 Resistance is created by the length and gauge (size) of the wire being used.
 An accurate estimated distance from the power supply to the opening is crucial.
 For superior operation the correct size gauge wire must be used.
 The devices used operate the best with the least amount of resistance on the source.
 Using the correct gauge wires protects against large voltage and current (load) losses.
 The gauge is determined by the wire distance, voltage and current of all devices.
1.2 Determining Wire Gauge
 Follow Example A (12VDC system) and Example B (24VDC system) below.
 Use Tables 1 and Table 2 to choose the correct wire gauge for the application.
1.2.1 Example A: (12VDC system)
Devices Used Amps (12VDC)
SAM Magnalock 0.320
DK-26 Access 0.160
XMS Motion Detector 0.050
EEB2 Timer 0.025
Total Current (0.555A) Rounded Up = 0.600A
Using Table 1 (12VDC) Find: - Current Draw .600 Amps
- Wire Distance 200 Feet [61m] (One-Way)
Solution: 18 Gauge is indicated for proper installation
