- Selectable relay modes permit installer configuration flexibility per application ✔️
- Microprocessor-based system logic reduces need for standalone relays ✔️
- Centralized wiring for locks, access controls, monitoring contacts and peripheral equipment provide easy troubleshooting and uniformity for multiple installation applications ✔️
PRE-BUILT SYSTEM WIRE DIAGRAMS
SDC's Engineered System Design landing page provides a choice of several complimentary system wire diagrams for common single and double door applications. Drawings vary with choice of different locking hardware and access and egress controls. Several of the same or different drawings may be used to accommodate multi-door system requirements. The drawings can be used as a guide to assist in system specification.
APPLICATION SOLUTIONS
INTERLOCKS & MANTRAPS
Interlocks/Airlocks are typically used for vestibules and laboratories to control air flow or restrict number of doors open at the same time.
Mantraps are typically used for secure areas requiring restricted and controlled access and egress.
Interlocks and Mantraps do not allow more than one door open at a time.
- Interlock/Airlock A - The doors are normally unlocked and opening any door causes all other doors to lock until the open door is closed. When all doors are closed, they are all unlocked.
- Mantrap B - The doors are normally locked. When any door is unlocked all other doors are incapable of unlocking. Access to any door is by authorized credential, keypad or surveillance personnel allowing entry.
- Mantrap C - Select doors locked or unlocked. When unlocked door is opened, locked doors are incapable of unlocking. When a locked door is unlocked, normally unlocked doors lock and all other locked doors are incapable of unlocking.
Pre-Built System Wire Diagrams:
- Two Door Interlock A using EMLocks, controller board, LEDs and override pull stations
- Three Door Interlock A using EMLocks, controller board, and override buttons at each door
- Two Door Mantrap B using electric strikes, controller board, and surveillance personnel allowing entry
- Two Door Mantrap B using electric strikes and EMLocks and automatic operators for each door
[Detailed wiring diagrams are provided for each of the above solutions, illustrating component connections and system logic.]
COMMUNICATING BATH SYSTEMS
Communicating Bathroom systems are used for shared bathrooms in dormitories and hospitals.
Both doors are normally unlocked and locked by person entering bathroom. Both doors are unlocked when person leaves the bathroom. Outside emergency switches are in place to override the locks if there is a problem with person inside bathroom. Both doors will unlock with fire/emergency signal.
Pre-Built System Wire Diagrams:
- Communicating Bathroom using failsafe electrified cylindrical locks
- Communicating Bathroom using failsafe electrified mortise locks
- Communicating Bathroom using failsafe EMLocks
- Communicating Bathroom Package - Complete kit with locking devices, power supply, emergency access push button switches, system activation push button switch, status sensors, power transfer hinges (not required for EMLocks)
[Detailed wiring diagrams are provided for each of the above Communicating Bath System solutions.]
OTHER SYSTEM DESIGN EXAMPLES
Single Access Controlled Door
Description: A single access controlled door system using a standalone proximity card reader and an electrified cylindrical lockset (failsafe or failsecure).
Method of Operation: Door normally closed and locked by electrified lockset. Electrified lockset can be Fail Safe or Fail Secure. Authorized Access: Presenting a valid card at reader will momentarily unlock the door. Authorized Egress: Free egress at all times by turning inside lever and opening door. Override Access: By key in lockset.
[Wiring diagram illustrates the connection of the proximity card reader, external controller, power supply, and electrified cylindrical lockset.]
Access Control Pair of Doors
Description: A pair of doors for access control using EMLocks, with a UR1 timer, mushroom button for locking, and keyswitch timed release.
Method of Operation / Application Use: For general convenience store / gas station front double entry doors. Maglock is in a de-energized state (open) until the store clerk activates the latching mushroom switch to lock the front double entry doors. Once the threat is all clear, the store clerk reactivates the mushroom switch to de-activate the maglock, unlocking the front entry doors. An integral Red LED indicates the status of the maglock (LED ON = Power Applied; LED OFF = Power removed). The key switch is for general momentary override in an emergency situation. The override unlock time is adjusted through the UR1 timer. A signal from the Fire Alarm Panel will automatically release the magnetic lock, allowing free egress.
[Wiring diagram shows the integration of EMLocks, UR1 controller, power supply, mushroom button, and keyswitch for a double-door system.]
IPPro® System Design
Description: IPPro® System Design for a single door network controller, with an electrified cylindrical or mortise lock application.
System Operation: Door is normally closed and secured by an electrified lockset. Authorized Access: Presenting a valid card or entering a valid user code on the reader will momentarily unlock the door for access. The unlock time will be configured by the access control programming. The door may also be programmed for maintained access. Authorized Egress: Free egress is available at all times by turning the inside lever, retracting the latchbolt, and opening the door. IP-based Access Control: User-friendly programming interface via a built-in web server, accessible from any networked PC. Low Voltage: System is powered by a regulated & filtered power supply with 12VDC output for access control equipment and 24VDC output for locking hardware to maximize efficiency. Loss of power will result in unsecure door, unless equipped with optional battery back-up.

Single Access Controlled Code Compliant Door
Description: A single access controlled door compliant with code, using an EMLock, keypad, motion detector, override exit button, and an emergency break glass override.
Method of Operation: Door normally closed and secured by Emlock. Authorized Access: Entering a valid user code at reader will momentarily unlock the door. Authorized Egress: Free egress by motion detector above door that unlocks the Emlock as occupant approaches the door. Occupant pushes the unlocked door open and exits. Manual Override: In the event of motion detector failure to unlock the door, activating the 'Push to Exit' button at the door unlocks the door for 30 seconds. If the button is pushed again within the 30 second time period, the timer starts again for another 30 seconds. Redundant Manual Override is provided by the Emergency Break Glass station. Activating the Break Glass station disconnects power to Emlock and turns on siren. Siren stays On until station switch is reset. Fire/Emergency: Power supply to be connected to the Fire/Emergency system to turn Off power supply and Unlock the Emlock.
