How to Install the ISONAS PureIP Reader-controller 18
2.2.2: LOCK WIRING -- BASIC
Electronic door lock Overview:
If the door does not already have an electronic lock, first install the lock hardware according to the
manufacturer's instructions. Examine the lock to determine whether applying power will lock or
unlock the door.
Fail Safe: Applying power locks the door
(usually magnetic locks).
Fail Secure: Applying power unlocks the
door (usually electric strike locks).
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 PureIP’s lock control circuit can control either
a fail-safe or fail-secure lock. This selection is
typically configured within the host computer’s
door settings.
Installation Tip
For non-PoE installations:
Before you start wiring an
electronic door lock, verify that
the lock’s power source is
separate from the power source
for the Reader-controller.
Otherwise, supply voltage
fluctuations induced by the
lock’s operation may cause the
reader to malfunction.
