6. Operating Instructions
The Sonew Electric Bolt Lock operates as a fail-secure device, meaning it locks when power is supplied and unlocks when power is removed.
- Locking: When power (DC12V/24V) is supplied to the lock, the bolt will extend, securing the door.
- Unlocking: When the power supply to the lock is interrupted (e.g., via an access control system, button, or power failure), the bolt will retract, allowing the door to open.
- Delay Adjustment: The lock features a delay setting for unlocking. This can be adjusted to 0, 3, or 6 seconds using the switch located on the lock body. Adjusting this delay can help prevent rapid cycling and extend the life of the bolt mechanism.
