Frequently Asked Questions
What is a monitored magnetic lock?
A monitored magnetic lock includes an output indicating whether the magnet and armature plate are engaged. This can be connected to a compatible access control, security or monitoring system to provide lock status feedback.
What is the holding force of the A10020DS?
The A10020DS provides a holding force of up to 1200lbs (544kg) , making it suitable for a wide range of commercial, industrial, educational, healthcare and public sector access control applications.
What does DS mean?
DS means door status monitoring. The A10020DS includes a separate door status output that allows compatible equipment to monitor whether the door is physically open or closed.
What is the difference between lock monitoring and door status monitoring?
Lock monitoring indicates whether the magnet and armature plate are engaged. Door status monitoring indicates whether the door is open or closed. The A10020DS provides both functions through separate outputs.
What does fail-safe operation mean?
Fail-safe operation means the magnetic lock requires power to remain locked. When power to the lock is interrupted, it releases. Emergency release equipment and access controls must be correctly connected to interrupt the lock supply when required.
What is the difference between the A10020 and A10020DS?
Both models include lock status monitoring and LED lock status indication . The A10020DS additionally provides a separate door status output , allowing compatible systems to monitor whether the door is physically open or closed.
What does the LED indication show?
The A10020DS includes LED lock status indication , showing green when unlocked and red when locked . This indicates lock status rather than door position.
Can the A10020DS be used with access control systems?
Yes. The A10020DS is designed for integration with compatible access control systems, door entry systems, intercoms, card readers, keypads, press to exit buttons and emergency door release units. Compatible monitoring inputs are required to receive its lock status and door status signals.
Why choose a magnetic lock with both monitoring functions?
The A10020DS allows a compatible system to receive separate feedback on lock engagement and door position. This provides more information than lock status monitoring alone, alongside LED lock status indication and up to 1200lbs (544kg) of holding force.
