How to Install the ISONAS IP-Enabled Reader-controller 19
2.2.2: LOCK WIRING -- BASIC
Electronic door lock Overview:
If the door does not already have an electronic lock, first install the electronic door
lock according to the manufacturer's instructions. Examine the lock to determine
whether applying power will lock or unlock the
door.
Fail Safe: If applying power locks the door
(usually magnetic locks), use the gray wire
labeled (NC).
Fail Secure: If applying power unlocks the
door (usually electric strike locks), use the
tan wire labeled (NO).
Most locking mechanisms have two leads for the
power coil. On an electric strike, the leads power
a solenoid. On a Mag Lock, the leads power an
electromagnet.
The door lock control relay inside the ISONAS Reader-Controller has a set of Form
“C” contacts that are rated at 1.0 amp @ 30V DC. This means it can handle most
locking mechanisms. If your application requires more voltage or amperage than
this, an external relay that is controlled by the reader/controller can be used.
Installation Tip
For non-PoE installations:
Before you start wiring an
electronic door lock, check that
its power source is separate
from the power source for the
Reader-controller at that door.
Voltage fluctuations caused by
using the same power source
for both devices may cause the
Reader to malfunction.
