Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does "Fail-Safe" mean for this electric drop bolt lock?
A: Fail-Safe (NC — Normally Closed) means the lock is engaged and secure when electrical power is present. If power is interrupted for any reason — such as a power outage — the bolt retracts and the door can be opened freely. This is the preferred configuration for emergency egress doors and fire-safety compliance.
Q: What types of doors is the XM-200B electric bolt lock compatible with?
A: The XM-200B is designed to work with a wide variety of door types, including wooden doors, frameless glass doors, aluminium-frame doors, office doors, and high-security entry doors. Its 200 × 34 × 40 mm profile makes installation straightforward on most standard door frames.
Q: How do I set the time delay on this electric mortise lock?
A: The time delay can be adjusted to 0 seconds, 3 seconds, or 6 seconds using the onboard selector switch. This controls how long after the unlock signal is received the bolt remains retracted before re-locking — useful for managing controlled entry flow in high-traffic areas.
Q: What power supply does this lock require?
A: The lock operates on DC 12V. A regulated 12V DC power supply capable of delivering at least 1A is recommended to handle the 960mA start current comfortably. It is compatible with standard access control power supplies used in commercial and residential installations.
