Fig. 4.1 COLLAPSING THE BLIND NUTS

Four holes must be drilled for the mounting screws, and a

1/2” (12.7 mm) diameter wire-way hole should be drilled for

hook-up. For proper strength, the 1/4-20 (6 mm) mounting

machine screws must be secured by the special blind finishing

nuts. The nuts will work on any thickness metal header and are

used as follows: A 3/8” (10mm) hole is drilled according to the

template for each nut. The nut is then pressed up into the hole

and lightly seated with a hammer tap so its knurl engages. The

nut is then pre-collapsed inside the header.

Fig. 4 TYPICAL MOUNTING FOR PUSH APPLICATION

MOUNTING THE MAGNET

The magnet mounts in the door frame header with four socket

cap machine screws for metal frames or wood screws for wood

frames. In mounting the Electromagnet, 6 conditions must

be followed:

— The frame header must present a flat surface for the

Magnet to mount to.

— The frame area selected must be reinforced to yield a properly

secure installation.

— The magnet face must be parallel to the armature.

— The magnetic poles (three metal bars on the Electromagnet),

must be centered on the armature.

— The magnet must make solid contact with the armature

but still allow the door to close properly.

— The direction of door opening must pull the armature

directly away from the magnet rather than sliding it away.

Electromagnets hold only weakly in the shear direction of pull.

Taking these points in order, the first is satisfied if the frame

presents a flat surface wide enough for the Magnet. If not, the

use of stop filler plates and/or header brackets available from

SARGENT can usually resolve the problem. Figure 4 shows the

typical use of these two accessories. 2-1/2” (63.5MM) are

required from the door to the rear of the Magnet for proper

mounting (as shown in the drawing).

The issue of frame strength must be considered in selecting

vertical or horizontal mounting. On aluminum headers the

horizontal extrusion is weak and can be snapped off so vertical

mounting would obviously be preferred. It is also possible to

reinforce the header by adding a steel plate. The installer must

avoid mounting the magnet to a wobbly or weak support or the

intrinsic security of the lock will be diminished.

Once a flat surface has been prepared for the Magnet, it must

be positioned so that its face is parallel to the armature (and

door). The magnetic poles must be centered on the armature,

and the door must close properly with the Magnet making firm

contact to the armature. When the Magnet has been

experimentally positioned so that these criteria are met, it’s

ready for mounting.

Fig. 3 ARMATURE MOUNTING

The armature should be mounted before the

magnet on the upper corner of the door according

to template. Final positioning of the armature is

dictated by the desired position of the magnet.

he armature must be centered on the magnetic

poles (3 bars). Roll pins furnished with the arma-

ture should then be hammered into the armature.

The armature is secured by the center armature

mounting screw.

Two flexible washers are then placed between the

rmature and the door with the armature mount-

ing screw passing through the washers to provide

flexibility.

Do not place the washers around the roll pins. The

roll pins should "float" in their holes and not bind.

Their only purpose is to prevent the armature from

rotating.The armature is secured to the door via

the supplied sex bolt.

DOUBLE DOOR MOUNTING

It is very common to use electromagnetic locks on double doors as most electromechanical locks cannot be utilized. In some cases

one of the door leaves is inactive so that only one leaf is used and this is secured by a single electromagnetic lock. If both leaves

are to be active, 2 electromagnetic locks can be used. For the most attractive installation, they should be butted together but if

obstructions exist in the header that interferes with mounting, the magnets can be separated and covered with an 18" dress cover

for push applications.

Fig. 4.2 TYPICAL MOUNTING FOR A PULL

APPLICATION WITH Z BRACKET

In cases where the electromagnetic lock must be

mounted on the inswinging side of the door to

rotect it from physical assault, the magnet body is

mounted flush on the wall above the door frame and

“Z” bracket is affixed to the door which positions

the armature in front of the magnet (part #15-2114

or Z bracket). SARGENT’s 1586 and 1587

electromagnetic locks have mounting holes through

the face of the magnet and wire that exits to the rear

for pull mounting applications. Figure 5 shows this

configuration. Note that when the roll pin bushings

are used, they protrude through the Z bracket and

interfere with the Z bracket cover. Roll pin bushings

ust be used to provide insulation. They should be

cut with a hacksaw to function in the bracket.

Fig. 7 STANDARD WIRING REQUIREMENTS

For operation, DC voltage (24 or 12VDC) must be provided to the lock. The red

wire receives +12VDC or +24VDC, and the black wire, 0V (negative). If the

lock is connected with reverse polarity, it will not function at all. The voltage

source must be regulated, filtered DC. Half wave pulsating DC generated by a

transformer and single diode will not properly operate the electromagnetic lock.

An exact voltage level is not necessary. However less than standard voltage

will proportionately reduce holding force but will cause no harm.

The current

draw is 125 mA for 24V versions or 250 mA for 12V.

Fig. 9 USE OF DRESS COVERS

Dress covers are metal stampings, which slip over the magnet body and are

affixed with permanent double stick tape (supplied). The dress cover accomplishes

three functions: it makes for a more attractive installation by concealing the strike

plate and mounting holes. Second, the cover provides an extra degree of tamper

proofing and finally it allows easy alteration of the finish for architectural compati-

bility. Dress covers are available on 28, EB and ED.

Double dress covers are also available for installations on double doors. In this

case, the cover fits over two locks so long as they are not separated by more than

2”. Double dress covers have all the advantages mentioned above and in addition

produce the appearance of a single device which inside is really two. Double dress

covers are available on 28, EB and ED.

Fig. 8 ELECTROMAGNETIC LOCKS

All SARGENT electromagnetic locks provide a dry SPDT output which

changes state when the lock is reporting secure (1 Amp @ 30 VDC

maximum). This is accomplished by conducting the input power of the lock

through the strike and employing it to energize an internal SPDT relay. The

white wire is the sensor relay common. Green is closed to white when the

lock is secure and Orange is closed to white when the lock is not secure. If

the sensor is used on a metal door, the strike should be insulated from the

door by utilizing the supplied insulating hardware.

Fig. 6 WOOD FRAME MOUNTING

With a wooden frame, long wood screws may be used to mount the electromagnetic lock. If, however, the frame is not solid enough to

secure the electromagnetic lock adequately, a wood frame bracket available from SARGENT may be used (part #15-2113).

The electromagnetic lock mounts to the bracket via machine screws and the bracket permits wood screws (furnished) to penetrate

ore deeply into the header (see Figure 6). Presently, the brackets are

not available in metric threaded versions so they must be mated with US

ype screws.

STEEL HEADER FILLED WITH

ONCRETE MOUNTING

The blind nuts function normally despite the presence of concrete but

a problem can occur in pulling the hook up wires. To help,

SARGENT offers the concrete header bracket (part #15-2113) which

permits a range of techniques (see Figure 6). The center of the bracket

forms a splice chamber if it’s difficult to pull the wires back into the head-

er. Alternately the wires may be pulled through the edge of the bracket

by drilling a hole if it’s impractical to drill the concrete.
