2. Safety Information
Please read and understand all safety warnings and instructions before installing or operating this product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, serious injury, or property damage.
- Electrical Safety: Ensure all power is disconnected before performing any wiring or maintenance. All electrical work should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes.
- Strong Magnetic Force: This lock generates a significant magnetic force (1200lbs holding force). Keep hands and metallic objects clear of the lock and armature plate when power is applied to prevent injury.
- Installation: Securely mount the lock and brackets to a stable structure. Improper installation can lead to failure and potential hazards.
- Waterproof: While the unit is waterproof, ensure all wiring connections are properly sealed and protected from moisture to prevent short circuits.

4. Setup and Installation
The installation process involves mounting the magnetic lock and armature plate, followed by electrical wiring. The included Z and L brackets provide flexibility for various door and gate configurations.
4.1. Mounting Options
The appropriate bracket configuration depends on your gate or door type (inswing, outswing) and frame width.
- With ZL Bracket: Ideal for outdoor swing gates and in-swinging door frames.
- With L Bracket (without Z Bracket): Suitable for out-swinging narrow door frames.
- Regular Installation (without ZL Bracket): For out-swinging doors with wide enough frames.
- Optional U Bracket: For glass door leaves (U bracket not included in standard kit).

4.2. Wiring Instructions
The lock supports both 12VDC and 24VDC power inputs. Use the appropriate delay off timer relay controller (12VDC or 24VDC) included in the kit based on your gate opener or access control system's voltage.
Connect the wires as indicated in the diagrams below. Ensure correct polarity (Red for positive, Black for negative). The Blue and White wires are typically for control signals from your access control system.

This lock is compatible with most gate openers and door access controllers that have a magnetic lock or solenoid electric lock terminal. The included controller allows use even with gate operators lacking a dedicated lock terminal.
5. Operating Instructions
The Haupowfo HP002 is a fail-safe electromagnetic lock, meaning it unlocks when power is removed. This is a critical safety feature, ensuring access in case of power failure.
- Locking: When power is supplied to the electromagnetic lock, it creates a strong magnetic field that holds the armature plate, securing the gate or door.
- Unlocking: When power is interrupted (e.g., by an access control system, keypad, or remote), the magnetic field dissipates, allowing the gate or door to open.
- Integration: Connect the lock to your existing gate opener or access control system. The delay off timer relays can be used to control the unlock duration.

6. Maintenance
The Haupowfo HP002 electromagnetic lock is designed for minimal maintenance due to its waterproof construction and durable materials.
- Waterproof Design: All electronic components are sealed in electronic-grade potting epoxy, ensuring reliable function in all weather conditions, making it suitable for outdoor installations.
- Routine Inspection: Periodically check the mounting hardware for tightness and ensure the lock and armature plate are free from debris that could impede proper contact.
- Cleaning: Clean the surfaces of the lock and armature plate with a soft, damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your electromagnetic lock, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lock does not engage (no holding force) | No power, incorrect wiring, faulty power supply, lock malfunction. | Check power connections and voltage. Verify wiring against diagrams. Test power supply. If issues persist, contact support. |
| Weak holding force | Insufficient power, gap between lock and armature, debris on surfaces, misaligned components. | Ensure correct voltage and adequate current. Check for proper alignment and eliminate any gaps. Clean lock and armature surfaces. Tighten mounting hardware. |
| Lock does not release | Power not cutting off, faulty access control signal, lock malfunction. | Verify that the access control system is correctly cutting power to the lock. Check control signal wiring. As a fail-safe lock, it should release when power is removed. |
| Intermittent operation | Loose connections, unstable power supply, environmental factors. | Inspect all wiring connections for tightness. Ensure a stable power source. Check for extreme temperature fluctuations or moisture affecting connections. |
For complex issues or if troubleshooting steps do not resolve the problem, please contact customer support.
