Magnadyne ALA50-DP Installation guide

Brand: Magnadyne

Model: ALA50-DP

Type: Installation guide

Magnadyne ALA50-DP is a power door lock motor that can be installed in a door to enable remote locking and unlocking of the door. The device comes with an actuator attachment rod, mounting strap, nuts and bolts, rod clamp, and allen screws for installation. It also includes a 3-pin white plug, Phillips pan head screws, and an ALA-DL1B relay pack for wiring. The device has a green wire for locking and a blue wire for unlocking, which should be connected to the door lock relay system as per the relay instruction manual.

Remove the door panel from the door that the ALA50-DP will be installed

in. Locate the existing door lock linkage and examine it’s operation to better

understand the following installation instructions.

1. Insert the the door lock actuator attachment rod into the end of the door

lock actuator.

2. Select a mounting location for the actuator that will be close enough to

operate the existing lock assembly and will be out of the way of the win-

dow mechanism and other moving parts of the door. (Move the window

to it’s full Up and Down position before mounting the ALA50-DP actuator).

3. Using the nuts and bolts supplied, attach the actuator mounting strap to

the door structure, then mount the actuator to the strap.

4. Slide the rod clamp onto the actuator attachment rod then snap the rod

clamp onto the existing door lever rod.

5. Set the existing door lock rod into the LOCK position. Compress the

ALA50-DP lock actuator shaft fully. Tighten the allen screws on the rod

clamp.

Note: To insure a lasting installation, we recommend the use of liquid thread

locking compound on all bolts used in the installation and on the allen screws

in the square clamp.

Green and Blue Wires

1. The green wire is the (+) LOCK wire. The blue wire is the (+) UNLOCK

wire. Connect the blue and green wires to the door lock relay system as

specified by the relay instruction manual

2. If needed, use wire ties to attach the wires to the door frame at as many

places as possible to avoid getting them caught in the window mechanism.

3. Re-assemble the door panel.

Activate the interface module and make sure that LOCK and UNLOCK oper-

ate correctly. Inspect the entire locking mechanism while the ALA50-DP is

operating. Attempt to UNLOCK and LOCK the door MANUALLY (With the

Key) to insure that normal operation of the lock has not been altered or hin-

dered by the ALA50-DP installation.
