Is it possible to wire in a switch (lock/unlock) to the mercury board? The door is on a schedule, but the office person wants to lock it when they are out of the office and doesn't want to manual locks.
Your maglock is on the unsecure side of the door. Also no anchor or retro box was used, I could easily take the reader off the wall, short the power wires together and everything on that circuit will now have no power, not to mention that reader port on the controller is now fried.
if i wanted to wire an automatic gate to the system, would i use just and 18/2 from control panel to automatic gate panel? If so, where on automatic gate panel would i wire it to? thanks
Paul, you would wire it to the open command on the gate Operator. Every gate operator has a open, close, and stop terminal. So a wire from the strike relay if using a card reader, or a N/O Input if your wanting to open the gave via stationary button or through software. Very simple, the gate just needs a contact closure to open.
Hello there I need some help I have the same power supply and mag lock that's in the video I'm installation it on my gate the drive way is about 100 feet long from the house when ever I try to ring the door bell from the gate it doesn't ring and the mag locking force is weak the wire am using is CAT 5 and the power supply is in the living 5AMP power supply am using!
Your using the wrong wire cat5 or cat 6 is usually used for cams and data. You need 18/6 or 18/4 stranded wire you can find some at an electrical supply house
It depends on how you have it setup. If it is "Fail Safe" that means it will unlock when power is cut. If "Fail Secure", doors will remain locked when power is cut.
@@RacelifeCo A battery backup is always good on a Access Control system, but worse case if a battery backup dies, thats when fail safe and fail secure come into play.
Pretty Good video. Thou did not cover type of Reader wire, gauge, shielded or non-shielded , twisted pair or regular. Do not be lazy! wires should be soldered and then heat shrinked and then taped to prevent damage from running new lines or removal.
I like your videos except for the super loud annoying music at the beginning of the video. Why do instructional videos have these loud annoying music segways? I don't do the loud annoying music in my videos. I prefer not giving people headaches.
