Note that how positive power to the lock connects through the terminal block “IN+” and
“DEVICE”. These two terminals constitute an internal field effect transistor which does the
actual switching. If power to the XMS was somehow interrupted, the field effect transistor would
automatically open (releasing power to the lock). This makes the XMS “fail safe”. Note:
never use the REX relay contacts to switch the magnetic lock. These contacts only have
enough capacity for signaling; they cannot reliably switch magnetic lock current.
If you need to integrate a controlled entry unit such as a digital keypad, use a set of NC
contacts from the entry unit to break the wire between “DEVICE” and magnetic lock “+” to allow
the entry unit to release the lock.
3.3 SHUNTING AN ALARM POINT
This technique is for installations where the door is connected to an alarm system and that if
the door opens without the XMS having been activated, an alarm signal should result. When the
XMS is employed to open the door, the alarm signal should be shunted.

The alarm system will be connected to a door switch or other detector at the door via two wires.
You will need to determine if this “loop” is closed when the door is closed and opens when the
door opens or is open when the door is closed and closes when the door opens. Correct wiring
to shunt the alarm is shown in Figure 4 for either instance. You utilize the “REX” relay contacts
for this shunting while the lock control relay contacts continue to release the magnetic lock.
3.4 INTEGRATION WITH ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM
An access control system permits entry (generally from a card reader) and will also often act as
an alarm system if a door is forced. To integrate with the XMS and a magnetic lock, the access
system should have a two-terminal REX (request to exit) input. When this input is closed, the
access system will operate its lock control relay to release the lock and will not create an alarm
signal as it will consider the exit event a “legal” one. Wiring is shown in Figure 5. Note that with
this wiring method, the lock control terminals of the XMS directly break power to the magnetic
lock as do the access system contacts. This is called “double break” wiring. It enhances safety
