Proteco Electric Lock & Interface Card Installation for Q71A & B

Components Required:

1 x Horizontal Lock 1 x MEL 56 Interface Card 1 x 2 core CAT5 / Alarm Cable

Installing the Lock onto the Gate

For Double Gates: Fit the horizontal lock on the leading edge of the

leaf that will be opening first and closing second. Fit the striker plate

onto the gate that opens second and closes first.

For Single Gates: Fit the horizontal lock on the leading edge of the

gate and fir the striker plate onto the post or pillar that the gate is

closing up to.

Dimensions of Horizontal Lock

Measurements in millimetre (mm)

Barrel length is 50mm long with a 25mm diameter

Installing the Lock onto the Gate

For Single Gates: Fit the horizontal lock on the leading edge of the

gate and fir the striker plate onto the post or pillar that the gate is

The lock arrangement is defaulted for left hand gates.

For right handed gates, the lock will need to be rotated inside its

cradle.

Step 1 – Remove rubber cable grommet from

bottom of cradle - C.

Step 2 – Remove end cap – A

Step 3 – slide lock mechanism out of cradle,

leaving it on its own – B

Step 4 – rotate Lock mechanism 180 degrees - B1

Step 5 – Slide lock mechanism into cradle and replace end cap on

other end of cradle – A1

Step 6 – Remove locking screw for the key

release – C.

(Fig.2 hole C illustrated right)

Move to the left and place into hole D.

The arrangement should look like C1

(Illustrated right)

Step 7 – Replace rubber grommet

Fixing Lock onto the gate

Choose location for installing the lock

on the leading edge of the gate and cut

out hole for the barrel feed. The barrel

diameter is 25mm.

Length of Barrel is 50mm

Line striker with the lock and fix

securely to pillar. For minor adjustment

of the striker plate, unscrew two screws

on the plate and move up, down for to

the right.

It is important to ensure the lock centre pin is resting on the striker

plate “tooth” – Illustrated below

Only the centre pin of the lock sits outside the striker plate unit – the

rest of the lock pin mechanism sits inside – Illustrated below:

The above is critical to the locks operation. When the lock receives a

12v charge from the MEL 56, the tension in the spring mechanism

releases and a loud “snap” sound is heard. This releases the centre

pin which mechanically stops the rest of the lock pin mechanism

from moving.

When finalising the fixing of the lock to the gate, ensure the lock is in

a stationary stable solid state - The lock should be either welded or

bolted to the gate appropriately.

Wiring of the Electric Lock & MEL 56 Interface card

Before replacing the cover of the lock, connect the lock terminals to

the gate automation control board.

INSTALL TIP

It may be easier to access

the terminal block by

removing the locking

mechanism from its cradle.

Depending on which side the

lock is being fitted (left hand

leaf or right hand leaf), use

the according terminal block.

For example here: This lock

is being mounted on the left

hand leaf.

Feed 2 core cables through

the hole provided in the casing

before wiring to the terminal

block. The example here is

using a 4 core alarm cable,

but using two strands – Yellow

and Black.

Place your two cables into the

terminal strip, and screw tightly.

Keep the cable clear of the sides

when placing back into the casing;

this will avoid pinching of the cable

and possible strand damage.

If you have removed the lock from its

cradle - Place the locking mechanism

back into place, being careful not to

pinch the cable. Once in place, feed

the black rubber cable grommet

along the cable and place in the hole.

Place two cables into the MEL 56

interface unit as shown and screw

tightly.

Between Terminals 9 and 10 (illustrated below) is the location

of the 4 pin Electric Lock input.

Place the MEL 56 unit onto the male pin socket on the Q71.

Ensure the pins slot into the MEL 56 female socket tightly.

Press gently with your

finger to ensure good

contact. The card should

look like pictures shown

(left).

There is a clear plastic clip

on the MEL socket which

keeps the card in place on

the board. The clip will

make a “snap” sound

when the MEL card is

fitted.

No Alterations to the control board / programming needed.
