Key Features: An In-Depth Look
Monitored vs Unmonitored
- Unmonitored: Ideal for standalone access control systems, these units include a red LED indicator to confirm that power is being supplied.
- Monitored: Best suited to networked systems, particularly those managing remote locations. These maglocks feature dual colour LED indicators. The LED is red when the door is locked and green when unlocked, providing clear visual confirmation. The LED will show up on CCTV.
For applications requiring door status monitoring, the ML600-MDS is available as a special order option. Please contact our team for more information.
Holding Force: Strength and Security
The RGL ML600 maglock has a holding force of 280kg (600lb) making it useful for facilities that see a high volume of traffic. This level of holding force ensures that doors remain securely locked until access is granted, reducing the risk of unauthorized entry.
As part of an access control system, magnetic door locks can be released by code entry into a digital keypad, activation by a proximity reader, or a push to exit button.
Electrical Compatibility: Flexibility by Design
The electromagnetic lock is versatile in its electrical requirements, operating at either 12V or 24V DC with a current draw of 480/240mA respectively. This means it can integrate seamlessly into various electrical setups, thereby offering more flexibility during installation.
Surge Protection: Safeguarding Your Investment
A built-in surge protection feature is essential in any modern electrical installation, especially in security applications where failure is not an option. This feature provides an extra layer of security that guards against electrical surges, thereby extending the lifespan of both the maglock and your entire access control system.
Material and Design: Robust Yet Aesthetic
Manufactured from high-grade aluminium, the maglock is both durable and lightweight. The material offers excellent corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term functionality. The clean, compact design allows for installation that is as discreet as it is robust.
Versatility in Fire Safety Compliance
For those installations requiring fire-rated components, the RGL ML600 maglock is compatible with 30 and 60 minute timber door sets. When used in conjunction with the RGL ML600 armature housing, the unit meets fire safety regulations, thereby providing an extra layer of safety. Please note that this is only for outward opening doors.
Maglocks and access control systems can be easily linked to fire alarms to provide a fail safe exit route for your facilities users. The maglock will de-energise when the power is cut or the alarm is triggered, allowing for free egress. For additional safety, secure RGL maglocks with their safety strap kit.
Recommended Accessories: Optimise Your Installation
The efficiency of maglock installation can be further enhanced through the use of specific brackets. The ML600 mini maglock is compatible with:
- L Bracket (ML600L): Ideal for outward opening doors or gates.
- Z&L Bracket (ML600ZL): Suited for inward opening doors or gates.
These brackets allow for a more versatile range of installation options, making it easier to adapt the locking system to unique door configurations.
Real-World Applications: Where Does the RGL ML600 Fit?
Given its set of features, the ML600 maglock is well-suited for various applications. It is a preferred choice in:
- Commercial Buildings: Secure entrances and restricted areas.
- Healthcare Facilities: Protect patient records and controlled substances.
- Educational Institutions: Secure classrooms, labs, and admin areas.
- Industrial Settings: Restrict access to sensitive or dangerous areas.
Magnetic door locks don’t have moving parts, making them easy to maintain. Ensure that the contact surfaces of the maglock and armature plate are free of any dirt and debris. This ensures full and complete contact, keeping your doors securely locked until manually released.
When it comes to securing your premises, the RGL ML600 maglock is a top-of-the-line option that offers both reliability and peace of mind. Its 280kg holding force, built-in surge protection, and versatile design make it a go-to solution for professionals in facilities management, maintenance, and general construction trades. By opting for the RGL ML600 maglock, you are investing in a dependable and robust access control system.
