Important Note: Because of design, field OHM tests of AC
solenoids may produce erratic readings and cannot be
used to determine the solenoids condition.
The 7500 Series is a (PL) Electric Power to Lock Unit which is failsafe in that it unlocks when power is removed. The most commonly used function is
the 7540 and 7550 models which are locked when energized on the outside and free on the inside egress. Models 7510, 7520 & 7530 lock on both
sides when energized.
(1) Power on controller plunger does not throw.
1A Insufficient voltage
1A Check voltage with a meter at the lock
farthest from source with all locks energized.

stamped on the solenoid body. If voltage is
low, either too small of a wire gauge was
used or there is too great of a load on the
line.
