5. Setup & Installation
The YAVIS magnetic lock is designed for straightforward installation. No specialized tools are typically required beyond basic hand tools. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and secure.
5.1 Mounting the Lock
The lock consists of two main parts: the electromagnetic lock body and the armature plate. The lock body is typically mounted on the door frame, and the armature plate is mounted on the door itself, ensuring they align perfectly when the door is closed.
- Disassembly: The outer shell of the lock body can be disassembled to access mounting holes for anti-theft screws.
- Placement: Position the lock body and armature plate to ensure proper alignment and maximum contact surface when the door is closed.
- Securing: Use the provided screw kit to securely fasten both the lock body to the door frame and the armature plate to the door. Ensure the screws are tightened using the hexagonal key.

5.2 Wiring Diagram
Refer to the wiring diagram below for connecting the magnetic lock to an access control system. Ensure all connections are secure and correctly polarized.
- Connect the Red wire from the magnetic lock to the NC (Normally Closed) terminal of your access controller or power supply.
- Connect the Black wire from the magnetic lock to the COM (Common) terminal of your access controller or power supply.
- Important Note: The access controller, power supply, and exit button shown in the diagram are not included with the magnetic lock and must be purchased separately.

6. Operating Instructions
The YAVIS magnetic lock operates in a Fail-Safe (NC) mode, which means:
- Locked State: The lock remains engaged and the door is secured when electrical power (DC 12V) is continuously supplied to the lock.
- Unlocked State: The lock disengages and the door can be opened when the electrical power supply to the lock is interrupted or removed. This is a safety feature, allowing egress during power failures.
- Integration: When integrated with an access control system, the lock will be controlled by the system's commands (e.g., card reader, keypad, exit button) to momentarily cut power and unlock the door.
7. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your YAVIS magnetic lock, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: Periodically wipe the surfaces of the lock body and armature plate with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Check Connections: Annually inspect all electrical wiring and connections for signs of wear, corrosion, or looseness. Ensure they are secure.
- Alignment Check: Verify that the lock body and armature plate remain perfectly aligned when the door is closed. Misalignment can reduce holding force and cause premature wear.
- Anti-corrosion: The lock features anti-corrosion properties, but avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals or prolonged direct moisture.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your YAVIS magnetic lock, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Lock Not Engaging (Door Not Securing):
- Check if the DC 12V power supply is active and correctly connected to the lock.
- Verify that the red wire is connected to NC and the black wire to COM.
- Ensure the lock body and armature plate are clean and free of obstructions, allowing full contact.
- Check for proper alignment between the lock body and armature plate.
- Lock Not Disengaging (Door Not Opening):
- Confirm that the access control system is correctly sending the unlock signal (i.e., momentarily cutting power to the lock).
- Check the wiring for any loose connections or damage that might prevent power interruption.
- If using an exit button, ensure it is functioning correctly and wired to interrupt power to the lock.
- Weak Holding Force:
- Ensure the lock body and armature plate surfaces are clean and free of debris.
- Check for proper alignment; even slight misalignment can reduce holding force.
- Verify that the power supply is providing a stable DC 12V and sufficient current (0.11A - 0.15A).
If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact customer support or a qualified technician.
