5. Installation Instructions
Before proceeding with installation, ensure you have read this manual completely and verified all accessories are present. Pay close attention to wiring methods and installation precautions.
- Prepare the Door and Frame: The electric lock consists of the lock body and a door valve plate (strike plate). During installation, the circumferential gap distance between the door valve plate and the electric lock must not exceed 8mm. This is crucial to ensure sufficient magnetic induction for proper operation.
- Align Lock Tongue and Plate: Ensure the lock tongue (deadbolt) corresponds accurately with the hole in the door valve plate. Misalignment can prevent proper locking or cause damage.
- Mount the Lock Body: Securely mount the main lock body to the door frame or door, depending on the desired installation type (mortise or surface mount). Refer to the dimensions diagram for precise measurements.
- Mount the Strike Plate: Install the door valve plate on the opposing surface (door or frame) ensuring perfect alignment with the lock body's deadbolt.
- Wiring: Proceed to the wiring section for detailed instructions on connecting the power and control lines.

6. Wiring Diagram and Connections
The electric lock features five color-coded wires for connection. Proper wiring is essential for correct functionality and safety.
- Red Wire: Connects to +12VDC (Positive power supply).
- Black Wire: Connects to 0V (Negative power supply / Ground).
- Orange Wire: Connects to OPEN (Normally Open contact for door release).
- Green Wire: Connects to NO (Normally Open contact for door status detection).
- White Wire: Connects to COM (Common contact for door status detection).

Figure 6.3: Another perspective showing the five wires, emphasizing the importance of correct identification for proper electrical connections.
Door Open Congratulation (Signal Output): The negative pole of the black wire is engaged with the orange wire to provide a signal indicating the door is open. This can be used for integration with other security systems.
LED Display: The lock includes an LED indicator for deadbolt status. The LED will display red when the deadbolt is retracted and green when the deadbolt is plugged out (locked position).
7. Time Delay Adjustment
The electric lock allows for adjustment of the locking delay, which controls how long the door remains unlocked after a release signal before the deadbolt extends. This feature helps prevent damage to the door and lock by ensuring the door completely stops moving before locking.
There are four adjustable delay settings: 0, 3, 6, and 9 seconds. These settings are typically configured using small DIP switches or jumpers located on the lock body, as indicated in Figure 6.1.
- Consult the markings next to the switches on the lock body to select the desired delay time.
- Use a small tool (e.g., a screwdriver) to adjust the switches to the corresponding positions for 0, 3, 6, or 9 seconds.
- Test the delay after adjustment to ensure it functions as intended.
8. Operation
The Luqeeg Electric Drop Lock operates as a fail-safe device, meaning it unlocks when power is removed. This is crucial for safety in emergency situations.
- Locking: When power is supplied to the lock and the door is closed, the deadbolt will extend into the strike plate, securing the door. The LED indicator will turn green.
- Unlocking: To unlock the door, interrupt the power supply to the lock (e.g., via an access control system, push button, or power failure). The deadbolt will retract, and the door can be opened. The LED indicator will turn red.
- Time Delay Function: If a time delay is set, the lock will remain unlocked for the specified duration (0, 3, 6, or 9 seconds) after the unlock signal is received, allowing the door to fully open before attempting to re-lock.
9. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your electric drop lock.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the lock body and strike plate with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or internal components.
- Check Connections: Annually inspect all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Loose connections can lead to intermittent operation or failure.
- Lubrication: The deadbolt mechanism is generally self-lubricating. Avoid applying oil or grease unless specifically recommended by the manufacturer, as this can attract dust and debris.
- Alignment Check: Regularly check the alignment between the lock body and the strike plate. Misalignment can cause excessive wear on the deadbolt and hinder smooth operation. Adjust if necessary.
- Functionality Test: Periodically test the lock's operation, including the time delay function, to ensure it responds correctly to unlock signals and locks securely.
10. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your electric drop lock, refer to the following troubleshooting guide:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lock does not engage/disengage | No power supply; Loose wiring; Misalignment; Faulty lock mechanism. | Check power source (DC12V); Verify all wire connections are secure; Adjust lock and strike plate alignment (gap < 8mm); If problem persists, contact support. |
| LED indicator not working | No power; Faulty LED; Wiring issue. | Check power supply; Inspect wiring for damage; If power is present and wiring is correct, the LED may be faulty. |
| Deadbolt retracts slowly or gets stuck | Insufficient power; Mechanical obstruction; Misalignment. | Ensure stable DC12V power supply; Check for debris or damage around the deadbolt; Re-check alignment between lock and strike plate. |
| Time delay not functioning correctly | Incorrect DIP switch settings; Internal fault. | Verify DIP switch settings according to the desired delay; If settings are correct, contact support. |
