- Voltage: 12–24 V DC (−10%/+15%); consumption: 550 mA (12V), 270 mA (24V)
- Operating temperature: −20°C to +60°C
- Monitored outputs: deadbolt status, door status, handle use, cylinder use
Usage
The lock is powered and controlled directly by a 12–24 V DC supply, responding to impulses or power failure (configurable fail safe/fail secure modes). Opening is enabled via electronic signals (badge, keypad, etc.) on the controlled side, while all mechanical releases (interior handle, cylinder key) remain functional at all times. The panic function allows for safe exit in emergencies, complying with emergency exit standards.
FAQ
- What door types and thicknesses is this lock compatible with?
- The EL566 is suitable for both wooden and metal doors, with modular backset and spindle configurations supporting a wide range of standard door preparations.
- Can this lock be integrated with existing access control systems?
- Yes, it is compatible with signal generators like badge readers, keypads, timers, and push buttons for flexible integration.
- How does the emergency exit (panic) function work?
- The interior handle or panic bar immediately retracts all locking bolts, ensuring that the exit remains accessible and compliant with emergency standards.
- What happens if there is a power failure?
- Depending on configuration, the lock can either remain locked (fail secure) or unlocked (fail safe); mechanical opening is always possible from the inside or with the cylinder key.
- Does this lock provide remote status monitoring?
- Yes, it features four monitoring outputs for bolt, door, handle, and cylinder status to support advanced access control and security monitoring.
