The A10001DS is an unmonitored mini magnetic lock with a separate door status monitoring output, designed for access control, door entry and intercom systems. Its compact size makes it suitable for installations where mounting space is limited.
Providing up to 600lbs (272kg) of holding force, the A10001DS operates from 12VDC or 24VDC. An aluminium housing and electroless nickel plated steel armature plate provide a durable construction for everyday use.
The door status output allows a compatible system to monitor whether the door is open or closed. This is separate from lock status monitoring: the A10001DS does not provide an output confirming whether the magnet and armature plate are engaged.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does DS mean?
DS means door status monitoring. The A10001DS provides an output that allows compatible equipment to monitor whether the door is open or closed.
Does the A10001DS provide lock status monitoring?
No. The A10001DS is an unmonitored magnetic lock. Its door status output indicates whether the door is open or closed, rather than confirming engagement between the magnet and armature plate.
What is the difference between the A10001 and A10001DS?
The A10001DS includes a door status monitoring output. The A10001 provides the same holding force and operating voltage options without this output.
What happens if power is removed?
The lock releases when its power supply is interrupted. Exit controls and emergency release equipment must be correctly wired to interrupt power when required.
Can I use the lock without connecting the door status output?
Yes. The lock can operate without the door status output connected, but the access control system will not receive door open or closed feedback from it.
Will I need a mounting bracket?
This depends on the door opening direction and the available fixing surfaces. Check the mounting arrangement before selecting a compatible bracket.
