MiniMag®
Mortise Electromagnetic Lock

Please deliver all installation instructions to
the end-user upon completion of the installation.

Pre-Installation Instructions
1.

This product must be installed according to all applicable
building and life safety codes.

Due to the variety of mounting configurations available with
this product, a survey and assessment of the physical area in
which the product will be installed must be performed.

The door frame must be inspected and deemed structurally
sound prior to installation of the electromagnetic lock. The
structural integrity of the mounting surfaces must be strong
enough to meet or exceed the holding force of the product.

The product must be protected from potential damage due to
intruders or tampering.

The product should be installed in a location that will not
hinder or create a potential safety hazard to authorized
personnel accessing the protected area.

Because electromagnetic locks are used in a variety of
applications and different door frame configurations, an
experienced installer with knowledge of this product must
make a determination of the optimal mounting method for
this specific application.

Do not install this product on the exterior of buildings.

Do not use as a doorstop. This will void warranty.

Installation of this product should be done by an experienced
installer with knowledge of this product.

NOTE: It is highly recommended that thread locking compound
be applied to all screws during installation to reduce chance of
screws loosening over extended time.
WARNING: Improper installation, maintenance, inspection or usage
of the product or any related accessories or parts may cause the
electromagnetic lock, armature plate and associated hardware
to disengage and fall, causing serious bodily injury and property
damage. Rutherford Controls Int’l Inc. and/or Rutherford Controls
Int’l Corp. will not be liable to the installer, purchaser, end user
or anyone else for damage or injury to person or property due
to improper installation, care, storage, handling, maintenance,
inspection, abuse, misuse or act of God or nature involving this
product or any related accessories or parts.

Instructions
1. Hold lock against frame at desired level. Mark the lock’s horizontal
centerline on the frame and transfer that mark to the door.
2. Determine the vertical centerline of the door thickness and
mark this on both the door and the frame.
3. Using these centerline references, cut out the lock mortise in
the frame as illustrated.
4. Temporarily fasten the two mounting tabs under the lock
flanges. Insert the lock assembly into the frame cavity until
the tabs are resting on top. Mark the location of the tab
mounting holes.
5. Drill and countersink these four holes to accept the 3/16”
screws provided.
6. Remove tabs from lock. Mount the tabs inside the frame.
7. Set voltage dipswitches as follows:
12VDC operation = 1 and 2 are On / 3 is Off
24VDC operation = 1 and 2 are Off / 3 is On (factory setting)
Connect the positive (+) power lead to the red and the
negative (-) lead to the black wire.
IS8360

Connecting wire should be of sufficient gauge for the lock
being installed and the distance being run. See table for
current draw specifications and wiring gauge chart.
8. RLS (Remote Lock Status)
This feature can detect the quality of the locking bond
between the surface of the magnet and the armature plate.
The sensitivity of this feature is such that a foreign object with
a thickness of .007” (.18mm) is sufficient to allow the sensor
to detect a problem.
Due to the sensitivity of this feature and the necessity to
maintain a reliable locking surface, these surfaces must be
kept free of contaminating materials. Both the lock surface
and the armature plate must be cleaned periodically with a
non-abrasive cleanser. Proper alignment of the armature
plate and magnet is required to ensure proper function of
sensor.
The 3 RLS lead wires at the lock corner are: Red = Normally
Closed, Black = Common, Green = Normally Open with the
door open / unlocked.

Instructions Cont’d
IMPORTANT: the RLS contacts are rated at a maximum of
0.20 amps. Greater current will cause damage to the sensor
and will void warranty.
9. Secure lock on tabs in mortise cavity, carefully applying thread
locking compound to the hardware provided.
10. Using centerline references on the door and illustration provided,
drill the four “U” clamp mounting holes and cut out the armature
mortise.
11. Position the “U” clamp inside door as shown. Insert the two pan
head sex nuts from the outside of the door and through the “U”
clamp. Insert the two button head hex bolts from the inside of
the door and secure into the sex nuts.
12. Position bolt with rubber head through armature plate. Add 3
washers (steel - rubber - steel) onto threads. Carefully apply
thread-locking compound to exposed thread and mount onto the
“U” clamp.
NOTE: Do not over tighten. The armature plate must be allowed
to pivot on the mounting bolt to allow proper alignment with
the magnet surface. If the plate is not aligned with the magnet
surface, the lock may lose holding force or not lock at all.

Inspection and Maintenance

This product and all related accessories or parts must be inspected
and maintained on a quarterly basis. Contacting surfaces of the
electromagnetic lock and armature plate must be kept free of
contaminating materials. Surfaces must be cleaned periodically with a
non-abrasive cleaner.
All mounting fasteners must be inspected on a quarterly basis.
When properly installed, the ends of the armature plate allow a slight
movement but the plate will feel secure when grasped at the bolt. There
should be no movement to the mounting bracket or housing of the
electromagnetic lock.
For added safety, thread locking compound has been provided for the
armature plate bolt and the four electromagnetic lock mounting screws.
WARNING: Improper installation, maintenance, inspection or usage
of the product or any related accessories or parts may cause the
electromagnetic lock, armature plate and associated hardware to
disengage and fall, causing serious bodily injury and property damage.

Please deliver all installation instructions to the
end-user upon completion of the installation.

The head of the armature mounting bolt ships with a rubber
washer affixed to it. This washer should project slightly beyond
the surface of the armature plate. This is to allow the washer
to expand when power is removed and break the air vacuum
between the plate and the magnet surface. If this washer is
removed or trimmed, the lock will appear to have some holding
force even when power is removed.
13. With a release device already installed, energize circuit and close
door gently. If magnet does not secure, verify that armature
plate is making contact with face of magnetic block. If necessary,
install additional steel washers behind armature plate to move
armature plate closer to block face and retest.

NOTE: All RCI electromagnetic locks must be powered with filtered and regulated DC power supplies such as the RCI 10 Series UL Listed power
supply. RCI offers a full line of power supplies and switching devices that are suitable for use with the 8300 Series locks.
