Input Circuit Wiring (continued):
The input circuit wiring configurations shown are supported but may not be typical:
8. Relay Circuit Wiring:
Four relays with Form-C contacts are provided for controlling door lock mechanisms or alarm signaling.
The relay contacts are rated at 5 A @ 30 Vdc, dry contact configuration. Each relay has a Common pole
(C), a Normally Open pole (NO) and a Normally Closed pole (NC). When you are controlling the delivery
of power to the door strike, the Normally Open and Common poles are used. When momentarily
removing power to unlock the door, as with a mag lock, the Normally Closed and Common poles are
used. Check with local building codes for proper egress door installation.
Door lock mechanisms can generate feedback to the relay circuit that can cause damage and premature
failure of the relay. For this reason, it is recommended that either a diode or MOV (metal oxide varistor)
be used to protect the relay. Wire should be of sufficient gauge to avoid voltage loss.
