PRE-INSTALLATION ASSESSMENT

Mechanical

Before the lock can be installed, consider its location and orientation. The YG80 can be mounted horizontally or firing downwards vertically, however mounting it firing upwards vertically may deteriorate the bolt pin seal faster and will void warranty.

When positioning the strike, it is important to achieve a reasonable level of alignment with the bolt pin as to ensure correct locking and operation. The hole in the strike is of a larger diameter than that of the bolt pin, however installing the strike so the bolt pin goes into the hole centrally is best as it will allow for movement of the door over time. To ensure the YG80 operates properly, the lock and strike must be separated by 15mm or less.

The adjustable nature of the strike means that the supplied magnet can be inserted in the desired location for all operating conditions, meaning the strike can approach from either the right, left, top or bottom face of the lock.

Electrical

After the positions of the lock and strike are determined, establish where to run the cable and also decide on what feedback is required from the lock. Please refer to wiring guide.

The cable is secured internally and can either be run out of the base of the lock into the mounting surface or follow the channel in the base and be run out of the back end of the lock. If the cable is being run through the base, an additional hole is needed in the mounting surface for the cable to be pulled through.
