[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 993990, member: 746"] Since you are using a Centurion keypad, I'll assume it is a 12 volt supply. As you know, the maglock requires energising to operate. Take off the supply and the lock releases The additional cables are intended as a monitoring circuit, n/o and n/c Look at this diagram (for 12 volt and 24 volt maglocks) [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/D8jWdqs.png[/IMG] You can see that for 12V operation, you need to link 2 sets of cables. You won't be using the yellow or blue ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- However, in your case you only need the red and black I'd suggest: Red permanently connected to +ve of supply Black via COM and NC on the keypad, and the exit button also NC. In other words, as soon as you connect the power, the lock energises. Test it with a screwdriver. It should clamp straight away and pushing the exit button (or code on the keypad) should allow the screwdriver to fall off If it does not, check for continuity on the red and separately on the black [/QUOTE]
