Mechanical installation of the solenoid bolt

  • Identify the position in which the solenoid bolt is to be fitted. The operating position must be vertical, if it is to be fitted with the bolt facing downwards this must be specified on ordering.

  • If the handle function is not used the solenoid bolt can be fitted on the fixed frame of the door
  • If the handle function is to be used, the solenoid bolt must be fitted on the door itself. In this case, use a cable cover to protect the wires connecting the door (hinge side) to the frame.
  • Do not use the solenoid bolt as a drilling template and do not carry out machining operations on the profile once the lock has been fitted. Metal chippings and sawdust might damage the product. Before fitting the solenoid bolt, make sure there are no burrs on the profile.

 

Problem

Possible reason

Solution
The solenoid bolt does not move or moves slowly.

1. Insufficient power supply

2. The solenoid bolt will not accept the command to open.

  1. Check that there are at least 12Vdc and at least 2.5 A power in each of the black power cables.
    This test must be carried out keeping the bolt blocked with your fingers, after commanding it to open using the red and green wires.
    This allows absorption to be measured during the phase in which maximum peak current is required.

    If the power supply is not sufficient, use a power feeder of at least 3A and, above all, use wires with a diameter of not less than 1.5mm.

  2. The solenoid bolt requires to be serviced by Opera technicians.

    Do not open the lock; any tampering will result in invalidation of the guarantee. Contact your local Opera dealer or service centre.

 
The solenoid bolt opens and closes a number of times without any apparent reason.

1. Friction between the bolt and the counterplate.

2. Insufficient power supply
  1. Check that the bolt slides freely, by activating it mechanically with the key. If there is any friction, adjust the counterplate so that it is properly aligned.

  2. Check that there are at least 12Vdc and at least 2.5 A power in each of the black power cables.

The bolt comes out when the door is open. 1. Magnetic sensor dirty or shortcircuiting
