REFER TO THE PROPER TEMPLATE ACCORDING TO THE TYPE OF DOOR AND FRAME APPLICATION.
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND STUDY THE TEMPLATE THOROUGHLY BEFORE BEGINNING THE INSTALLATION.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Although electromagnetic shear locks provide the utmost in aesthetics for fail-safe applications, they are less forgiving than electric
bolt locks and direct pull magnetic locks where alignment problems exist. Therefore, great care must be taken during preparation
and installation of the frame, door hardware and the shear Emlock to attain proper alignment and ensure positive lock operation.
Unbalanced air conditioning (stack pressure) can hinder door alignment and must be corrected to help ensure positive locking.
Use only the highest quality door closer.
POSITIVE CENTERING DOOR CLOSERS ONLY should be used on double acting doors to help attain consistent dead center
alignment.
Door latching problems must be corrected prior to installation.
The maximum locking strength of the 1561/1562 Hi/Shear Emlock is 2000 lbs.
INSTALLATION:
1. Make sure the clearance between the door top rail and frame header is 1/8”. Make adjustments to the door as required.
2. Adjust single acting door and door closer to ensure the door settles immediately and is fully closed and at rest against the
stop allowing for mutes, smoke seals or weather stripping where applicable.
Adjust double acting door and POSITIVE CENTERING DOOR CLOSER to ensure the door settles immediately and is fully closed
and at rest in the dead center of the frame.
3. Locate the vertical centerline of the Emlock and armature as close as possible to the leading door edge.
CAUTION: Wood door applications require the armature back box to be located and ample distance from the door
edge vertical grains, to avoid splitting from wood screws.
4. Determine the horizontal centerline of the door top rail thickness. The armature centerline will be the same.
Mark the door per the template.
5. Before determining the frame header centerline, single acting doors must be fully closed and at rest against the stop allowing for
mutes, smoke or weather stripping where applicable. Double acting doors must be fully closed and at rest in the dead center of
the frame.
6. Mark the frame header per the template.
7. Prepare the door and frame per the template.
8. An auto relock time delay (built-in with 1561) is recommended for all installations to delay relocking 1 to 6 seconds after initial
door closure. This will help ensure the door is fully closed and at rest to obtain optimum alignment before the Emlock is energized.
Consult Figure 7A or 7B according to material supplied.
With the power off, make all wire connections to a properly fused power source.
