During installation, care must be taken to assure full electro-magnet and armature contact.
The Emlock and armature should be handled carefully. Any damage to the surface such as paint, burrs and dirt will hinder full holding
power.
Although all SDC Emlocks are provided with the best possible plating for corrosion resistance, the continued impact of the armature against
the Emlock may cause eventual wear of the plating.
If wear causes rust to occur, clean the surface using a fine abrasive pad. Do not use
coarse material to clean surfaces.
After cleaning, do not touch the Emlock face or armature with your hands.
A rust inhibitor such as M1 manufactured by Starret, or LPS3 manufactured by LPS
Laboratories (available at most hardware stores) may be applied.
Mount the Emlock to a fence post or similar structure. The armature is mounted to the gate. The fabrication of additional mounting plates
and angle brackets may be required by the installer. Due to various gate and fence designs, there is not a standard or recommended
method of installation.
Emlocks are fail-safe (locked when energized) devices and require power to remain locked. A power supply with battery backup is required
when power outages may interfere with desired security.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
R
1. Inspect the gate and post to determine if any mounting plates or angle brackets are required. Install mounting hardware
as required.
2. Mark the mounting surfaces per the template. Be sure the centerline of the armature template matches the centerline of
the Emlock template. Drill and tap holes as indicated.
3. Mount the armature to the gate. Determine the proper hardware (provided) see Figure 1. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE
ARMATURE MOUNTING HARDWARE AND DO NOT WELD THE ARMATURE DIRECTLY TO THE MOUNTING SURFACE.
When properly mounted, the armature will pivot slightly around the mounting screw.
INSTALLATION:
