Wiring
dormakaba does not provide technical support or field support for the third-party locking devices. Please consult the device's manufacturer for support.
The following table indicates the maximum recommended wire length for typical locking devices based on wire gauge.
| Locking Device Type |
Typical Current (A) | Max Recommended Wire Length One-Way (ft) |
|||
| AWG 18 | AWG 16 | AWG 14 | AWG 12 | ||
| Electromag Lock | 0.28 | 168 | 266 | 425 | 675 |
| Electric Strike | 0.45 | 105 | 166 | 265 | 420 |
| Double Electro Lock | 0.46 | 102 | 162 | 258 | 410 |
| Other Devices | 0.75 | 63 | 100 | 160 | 250 |
NOTE: The maximum recommended wire length is the approximate wire length that causes a 5% voltage loss, using a 12-volt locking device at the rated current included.
- Caution: The table is for reference only. Actual wiring requirements for specific devices may differ. Always follow the locking device manufacturer's wiring recommendations as well as local building codes.
- Install and route a 2-conductor cable from the controller PCB to the desired location of the electronic strike or electromagnetic lock.
If installing an electric strike, install the diode across the terminals of the locking device, using the crimp connectors provided in the hardware bag if needed.
IMPORTANT: Do not reverse the diode polarity as the wiring diagram indicates.
Caution: To prevent a possible short, the diode must not be in contact with the electric strike. If required, cut the diode ends shorter.
3. Mount the locking device in the desired location and connect as per the manufacturer's instructions.
