3.5 SENSTAT MAGNALOCKS: “SC”
Securitron's optional patented Senstat feature provides true lock status sensing. In many
electrically controlled door security systems, status sensing is provided by a magnetic switch on
the door itself. This indicates the door is closed but not necessarily secured. Securitron's
Senstat monitors the lock rather than the door and therefore provides higher security (but note
that it can’t be used as an auto-relock input to an access control system).
An “SC” Magnalock provides a dry SPDT output which changes state when the lock is reporting
secure (1 Amp @ 30 VDC maximum). This is accomplished by conducting the input power of
the lock through the strike and employing it to energize an internal SPDT relay. The white wire
is the Senstat relay common. Green is closed to white when the lock is secure and Orange is
closed to white when the lock is not secure.

3.6 DOUBLE DOOR PROCEDURE FOR STATUS REPORTING
Often two Magnalocks are mounted on a double door and are turned on and off together (no
separate control). As to status reporting, it is of course possible to receive a separate Senstat
status signal from each door or you can combine the outputs so that if both locks are secure,
the double door is secure and if either lock is not secure, the double door is not secure.
Simply tie the white and green wires together from the two locks. A circuit will be closed
between the other white and green wires only when both locks are reporting secure. If either is
not secure, the circuit between other white and green wires will be open. The orange wires are
not used. See Figure 16.
