M1-KAM and Maglock Issue

[smartDevice]

I am currently doing a job (my showroom) involving a M1-KAM and a maglock.
 
A few details on the maglock

• Has an inbuilt PSU
• Has the following connections C, N/C and N/O

I have connected the Maglock to the power and have connected the + terminal of the Maglock directly to the N/O of the KAM and the - to the Negative of the PSU and the positive to the Relay Comm. I have then created a rule to turn the corresponding output on every 30 seconds as a test. But the lock is remaing locked and will not unlock unless I either turn the M1 off or unplug the power to the lock. 
 
I was wondering if anyone has anything to contribute as I am not a happy camper at the moment.
 
I have done the following:
 

• Enrolled the KAM in the M1
• Ensured the Outputs are correct
• Checked the rules
• Checked the connections
• Placed an EOL over PTE and Negative

I quickly read this, but I 'think' you might want to wire to the NC instead of the NO for your purposes (remove power to the maglock when the relay is 'on').

Insufficient details!  Need manufacturer and part number.  And, your description of the connections makes no sense.  Try attaching a schematic.

Hi Jpmargis,
 
Thanks for showing interest in my little issue.
 
Here is the manaul from the Maglock (its a little vague).

Not sure what you mean by "inbuilt PSU".  The FSH FEM3500 requires an external power supply (12VDC @ 0.5A) which should be connected as shown on page 3 of the ELK-M1KAM installation instructions.  Make sure you install the diode to prevent damage to the relay contacts.

Let me throw this schematic up for concurrence from jpmargis.  I'm not exactly sure what status you are looking for regarding feedback to the KAM unit from the maglock.
 
Could you describe some operating scenarios you are shooting for with this combination?
 

 

[jpmargis]

Concurred!!  As shown above, note that the DOOR IN and REQUEST-TO-EXIT IN cannot be left open.  At a minimum, you need to have an EOLR connected.

Hi Guys,
 
Thanks for that. I have got it working now after a phone call to Ness (ELK Australian Distributor) and i overlooked the resistor type and installed the wrong type :headslap
 
All working now. Thanks so much.
 
Also thanks BraveSirRobin for the diagram.

Don't forget, if you haven't addressed it, you need a way to physically break power independent of the REX input in the event of an emergency with a maglock....it can't rely on software or the connection to the host panel or a PIR sensor.
 
Usually this is a mechanical pushbutton, pneumatic or otherwise, or a break glass unit or if there is fire alarm connected, via a power supply/module connected to the power supply.
