MORX 600 lbs EM Lock with Red LED

Overview

The MORX 600 lbs EM lock with Red LED is an electromagnetic (EM) lock for a single door. An electromagnet on the frame holds a steel plate on the door while powered, and releases the moment power is cut, so the door opens on a power cut, a fire alarm or a signal from the access system. This version has a red LED on the lock body that shows the lock status. It suits glass, aluminium and wooden office doors on card, PIN or fingerprint access control.

Is it right for you?

• It suits a single office, shop or building door that an access control system or exit button should release.
• It suits glass, aluminium and wooden doors: there is no moving latch to wear, and release is instant.
• It is fail-safe, so it suits an escape route door that must open when power is cut.
• If the access controller or alarm panel needs to know the door is locked, the 600 lbs EM lock with Feedback or with Timer and Feedback adds a status output. For a lighter interior door, the 300 lbs lock is enough.

Key features

• 600 lbs holding force class.
• Red LED indicator, so lock status is visible at the door.
• Electromagnetic, fail-safe operation: unlocked when power is off.

What else you need

• A regulated DC power supply rated for the lock current.
• An access controller, standalone reader or exit button with a relay output to switch the lock.
• A MORX exit button to release the door from inside.
• A MORX L, Z or U bracket for 600 lbs locks when the frame or door does not give a flat mounting face.
• A fire alarm interface to cut lock power, normally required for escape doors.

Installation

An access control installer should mount the magnet on the frame header on the push side of the door and the armature plate on the door so they meet squarely. Where the frame or door gives no flat face, use an L, Z or U bracket. Check the hole pattern of the bracket against the lock on receipt.

Before you buy

• Dimensions, supply voltage and current for this version are not stated by the manufacturer, so confirm them from the unit label before choosing a power supply and brackets.
• The door opens whenever power is cut, so add a backed-up supply if the door must stay locked through a power cut.
