Use of the Magnalock (or any lock) can lead to an unsafe 
condition within the building if it is controlled in a manner that 
improperly restricts passage through certain doors.  The most 
important area of concern is to insure that building evacuation is 
not impeded in the event of a fire or other emergency condition.  
Consult with the local building or fire department to insure that 
the controls installed with the Magnalock create a safe and 
code legal
 installation. 
The Magnalock has an unlimited operating life and receives a 
great deal of cumulative shock over this life from the door 
closing and from persons attempting to open the door when it is 
secured.  It is therefore vital that it be firmly mounted to the door 
header.  If this is not done, a person's use of the door could 
cause the magnet body to fall and possibly cause an injury.  
The blind nuts furnished with the Magnalock will create strong 
and permanent mounting when correctly collapsed inside the 
header.  If they are not collapsed, an unsafe condition will 
result.  Make sure you understand section 2.3.2 in the manual 
on magnet mounting and collapsing the nuts.
 
-    
SHOCK HAZARD.     The Magnalock must  
be operated from a DC power supply of appropriate capacity 
and voltage.  The DC output of the power supply must not be 
connected to earth ground but must be isolated, or a shock 
hazard and possible damage to the product could result.  All 
Securitron power supplies are delivered with isolated DC 
outputs and the majority of commercial supplies are also 
furnished this way.  If you are not certain that the DC outputs of 
your power supply are isolated, check with an Ohmmeter 
between earth ground and +V, and then between earth and 0V 
(negative).  You should not have continuity.
