How does a maglock work on an electric gate?

• Maglocks consist of an electromagnet and an armature plate, and they operate on the principle of electromagnetic attraction.
• A maglock requires a seperate power supply 12V DC normally 1.5 – 2 amps.
• A 12V DC or 24V AC Relay with normally closed contacts and a diode.
• Your control board lock output is powered before the start of the opening for a few seconds.
• The maglock is powered all the time from the separate power supply and the relay is connected to your control box lock output.

Your control board lock output is powered before the start of the opening for a few seconds. The maglock is powered all the time from the separate power supply and the relay is connected to your control box lock output.  The relay is used to cut the power to the maglock when the gate is opening for a few seconds, after that the magnet re-energises and naturally will grab the plate on closing.
