Installation Instructions

MAGNASPHERE HSS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: All Models of L2C-[XXX] Series
CAUTION: MAGNASPHERE MAGNET MODULES ARE EXTREMELY POWERFUL: TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID THE MAGNETIC ATTRACTION OF SHARP TOOLS
AND TO AVOID INJURY FROM THE PINCHING FORCE BETWEEN THE MAGNET AND FERROUS METALS OR OTHER MAGNETS.
Required Tools and Components
Provided by Manufacturer (per module set)
1 L2C switch module
1 L2C magnet module
2 #10 or #12 screws, magnet module
3 Spacers, magnet module
1 Tamper bracket
Provided by Installer
Blade screwdriver or a blade bit for use in the drill/bit-driver
RTV Adhesive for some sites (review instructions below)
Additional 1/32” SPACERS as needed (10 / BAG – MAGNASPHERE P/N 1222)
Door & frame as prepared in figure below †
Tamper Test Magnet: optionally used for non-invasive tamper switch tests P/N 1384
Installation:
Plan to mount the switch module into the door frame. The magnet module should be be mounted opposed and
aligned to the switch, within the door. Recommended placement for the set is 8 inches from the latch side of the
door, at the top. A gap up to 1/16" (1.6mm) is recommended though the switch can be installed to a
1/8" (3.2mm) maximum operating gap. For UL compliance, the installation must be in a metal frame with a
5/8" (minimum) door stop; the modules must have an operating gap no greater than 1/8".
Recommended Minimum Clearances and Features
for Door & Frame Cutouts
† It is not necessary to make allowance for the face-plate/flange of the magnet module if it fits with the switch module flange in the door-to-
frame gap.
*Recommended placement to meet door-opening, alarm, & nuisance alarm requirements of UL634 Level 2 standard. This guide is one
means to meet this standard. Installations which fulfill this standard are not restricted to the specific recommendations in this instruction set.

Attention: modules à aimants Magnasphere et anti-enlèvement aimants sont très puissants: prendre des précautions pour éviter l'attraction magnétique d'outils tranchants et
à éviter les blessures de la force de pincement entre l'aimant et les métaux ferreux ou d'autres aimants.
